Without my models, my mental health would have taken a serious hit. Of course it's an essential business!! I mean, look how many people on 'model makers' on reddit label their most recent build 'my quarantine build'! Just about every new entry is labeled as such! How much more essential do you have to be to assuage the mental anguish of MILLIONS of people across the globe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
psimon Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Sorry to deviate from the subject but does anyone know how to contact GWH? My 1/48 F-15E kit is missing the clear parts and the store I bought it from won't help me. Their Lion Roar site hasn't been updated in 10 years and they stopped using Facebook 5 years ago. ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ya-gabor Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hands tied behind my back till now. But here it is! At last it is possible to speak about this new Su-27UB kit from G.W.H in 48th scale. Brand new design to the level expected from G.W.H. It will be released in August this year. The same team in design as for the Su-35 kit. Hope modellers will like it! I can promise that there are some additional details and extras not seen before. Best regards Gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solo Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 BTW, it is a little bit strange,there is still nothing about new GWH F-14 1:48, but there is Su-27 coming around soon. So sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I posted a picture from the same show, after he'd been caught (and executed). Though I see how it could be misinterpreted. Note the camera man and sound guys, though.

Well, but Maverick's aircrafts are Super Hornets not Tomcats, so I don't think so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tapchan Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 We all know F-14 is the main character in this movie, Maverick is just side one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Side what? 🙂 This movie is about guy who flies Super Hornet. The same guy was flying Tomcat in 1986. Main non-human character is Super Hornet, as Tomcat was in 1986. Maybe there will be Tomcat CGI in final scene, but this movie is about older guy and his Super Hornet.

ya-gabor Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 (edited) Where else? if a Russian jet then on a Russian site . . . : ) : ) : ) Just few views. Sure soon more will be on the way. In the box some of the test sprues. The canopy. There are two versions. One is a full transparent plastic the other one is a plastic frame with transparent canopy parts with vertical casting to reproduce that Omega shape. Something not so evident on this view is the front windshield. It is one part with the nose section top so one will not have that nasty glue line at the base of the windshield. There were some views concerning some rivets not so "clean" and visible on the previous Su-35. Well compare it to this. And finaly the single piece nose cone. ( I am sure that our friends at Aires will feel that it is not accurate and reproduce it in resin with no change just to make a little money for nothing : ) : ) : ) Actually the nose cone is made like this so that one can show it in up position revealing the radar under it. In usual everyday operation this is a standard maintenance procedure. I have seen other manufactures exposing the whole radar cover by removing the nose cone from the fuselage frame and even the radar dish from under its cover, but this is not realistic and only done in 1% of cases or not at all. Oh well. . . Best regards Gabor Edited June 18, 2020 by ya-gabor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
