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.

Now working on the intakes and nozzles. Quite some thinning and fitting, but it will get right!

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
