Stefan buysse Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Hi, Of course, Phantom beat me to the finish. Both look great again. I just assembled one main gear for the Eduard/Academy kit...what were they thinking when they designed that!?! I have the impression that the main wheels are not going to be alligned with the direction of travel, somewhat like the Super Hornet's underwing pylons. Was that your impression too, Phantom? The way it's designed, I can't see a solution short of cutting the gear leg in half and reattaching the part with the axle truely perpendicular to the direction of travel. I'm not going to do that! Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 The gear is indeed a big weakness of the Eduard kit. I tried one NOT going in instruction order, that gave me even weaker gear then the all ready weak by the instructions. Go with the instruction order and try not to break off parts. Mind you, following the instructions the gear has been at least pointing in the right direction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I took copious notes on my first and Last Academy build. Upon review, I remember I was less than happy with the build. OVER ENGINEERED comes to mind. Hasegawa Phantoms get my vote also. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
