Hi guys,
This is my Buckeye. Resin, vacuform, crispy decals and walkaround CD. I bought this kit, as I live in Europe from Hannants (good and swift service). Some first pix. Cheers - BoB

Ok here we go again.
First an example of not so crispy sprue. But don't worry, the plastic is soft and easy to mold/sand etc.  And here some semi finished parts of the cockpit, just to get an idea.   Dry fitting

Is it just me, or are the seats in the kit a bit on the "barca-lounger" side? They look too squat and wide to me when compared to this on pic I could find of the LS-1.

Hi Paul.
I had to think because I have had them for many years already. They are great because you can aument the pressure and it holds it there. Then there is a release knob when needed. They are available here in Europe. If you want I can have a look for you. Cheers - BoB QUOTE (Huey Gunner @ Feb 13 2010, 10:18 AM) Where'd you get those clamps? I need to know! |
