Oh I agree, I just noticed that their website no longer has .ru and was wondering if they had relocated. I'll be waiting on product from other companies. I'm in for the intakes mentioned earlier in the thread and maybe some of the other goodies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 (edited) The ladder needs to be more detailed, its is the plastic mold limit, I'm don't criticize but I think that could be fun to print this part. Edited February 26, 2023 by salomon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I just got the Phase Hanger Resin set, and it was just a couple of dollars more for a lot more 3D printed parts, plus easier to assemble as you don’t have to cut the kit center pod to attach the exhaust like you do with the Wolfpack.

okthree Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 In addition to the engine intakes, this kit needs an aftermarket HUD. Something 3D printed along the lines of what Flying Leathernecks made for the Harrier and Hornet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
salomon Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I second that, it's almost the same cost for the kit model. Maybe we can draw those parts and print the ladder and the engines. The Hud doesn't need a lot of work, I'm planning to cut the transparent part in the middle, sand those separated part and that's it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looked like that part matches the actual jet's windscreen assembly. Even on the good old Monogram kit, getting the seam between the clear part and fuselage to blend was always difficult, and I think when not done right it detracted from the lines. That is a cool photo. What is that black 'T' looking thing at the bottom of the wind screen? I've seen it some AC and not on others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 It looks like a hole. When you swing the windscreen assembly upward, the thing that fills that hole stays behind. Maybe a latch. Look how “not black” the glare shield is in there. Start with Deck Tan and smudge it up with some dirty black. I believe I also saw a video where a modeler showed that the kit glare shield has completely different holes than the real thing. Maybe those have changed over time.

aircal62 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 On the Phase Hanger parts. I have just used them on my A-10 build. They are exceptional in every respect. Easy to separate from the printing towers, very precise fit with both the other resin parts and the engine pods themselves. Plus the customer service from Phase Hanger is outstanding. They improve the look of the engine intake area immensely. For me they were well worth the asking price. I've paid more and received much less in detail and fit.
