Dave Roof Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) After a few test prints and adjustments to the CAD, I was able to get successful prints of the vertical tail stiffening plates found on the F/A-18A/A+. In 1/32 scale, the plates are .49mm (.0190") thick and in 1/48 scale, they are .32mm (.0125") thick. Visible are all of the rivet/screw fasteners. In addition to these, F-16 Fuselage Plates and the Belly Strap for the F-4E/G/J(UK) will be released in late April or early May after we complete our move to Temple, GA. Product numbers and prices will be assigned and set at that time. Edited March 24, 2023 by Dave Roof Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JeffreyK Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Sorry Dave, didn’t mean to hijack your thread. I had communicated with the poster and have sent him my parts already. Felt a bit “surprised” (to say the least) he’s asking for them here again. I’ll definitely get your belly strap (and a few other goodies 😏) soon. I’m not too much of a fan of the Meng kit but won’t let it go to waste either! J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

J Thank you very much dear Jeffrey, but after last email, you have not noticed me that you have sent me these.I am most greatfull dear friend, and this makes me also at least surprised that I dont know that you have sent me these ,because I have told you, please let me know when you send it, and let me know its tracking number, because I can not pick it up without that info.Thank you very much.
