serendip Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Good day all, I purchased the Kitty Hawk Su-34 and F-101 kits recently. I can't help but notice a lot of complaints about these kits but none to little builds on the internet. Can anybody help pushing me in the right direction of a few good build sites for these kits? Further, I suggest ARC and BM might introduce a new post called builds (or whatever) where actual building of kits (strange I know) instead of gossip, vitriol etc would be featured. Enjoy your evening all, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
seawinder Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The In Progress Pics sub-forum seems to fit your bill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of our club members showed his KH F-101 last year: https://www.ipms.nl/regios/regio-zuid-holland/146-regio-zuid-holland-artiklelen/2701-regioavond-zuid-holland-januari-2018 Interestingly he said that the kit fitted well, but you had the test-fit ten times, then glue. The model looked superb, and a metal finish reveals every flaw, so I guess he was right. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
serendip Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Rob, Thanks for that, it may be me but it seems good builds, not a waste of time in box review, are harder to find these days. Once again, thanks for the link, Groetjes uit Noord Brabant, Marc. Edited February 13, 2019 by serendip Punctuation issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ha, it's a small world, with Dutch modelers that meet on a US forum 🙂 If you want, I can get you in touch with Benno, for a verbal build report. Or, if you're willing to come to a 'regio-avond' in Rijswijk, he can bring the model again. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then he saw my point and agrees we are Canadian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure thing, I finished an F-101 A/C last year on a BM, you'll find it here: Kitty Hawk 1/48 F-101 A/C «Voodoo». Feel free to ask any Voodoo-related questions!

Enjoy your evening all, I dont know where you heard a lot of complaints about the Su-34. It has it's troubles but is by far the better 1/48 scale Su-34 on the market and can build up into a nice aircraft model. The Voodoo is another story. It was critiqued heavily.
