  1. 1/32 F-104A from F-104C kit?

    18 May 2013 - 11:00 PM

    Making the X-15 in 1/32 at the moment, and keep seeing pictures of the F-104A chase planes which look awesome. In 1/32 there only seems to be a few C models and a bunch of G/S kits.

    I am not overly concerned with minor details, this will be just be a cabinet filler, but is the C kit the easier kit to make an A model from?

    The G model kits are more numerous and cheaper, is it a simple matter of changing the rudder on the G to make an A model?

    Thanks in advance, and please keep in mind I'm not overly concerned about small details, no rivet counting on this kit.

  2. Best Su-27 / Flanker family reference book?

    30 April 2013 - 05:09 AM

    Looking for a one stop shop book that will give a book break down and reference for modelling.

    Thanks in advance

  3. Polish F-16D NATO Tiger Meet 2011

    12 January 2013 - 05:48 AM

    I would love to make this aircraft in 1:32 and am doing the neccessary research at the moment.
    F-16D
    What I cannot figure out is the text and/or symbol on the aft fuselage side. Looks to read "6 TH FS", which would make sense as this is the Polish unit flying the aircraft..

    Can anyone confirm this and/or provide more info/photos on this particular jet?

    Much appreciated.

  4. Aires Wheel Bays for 1/32 Trumpeter F-14 Tomcats

    30 December 2012 - 04:30 AM

    Received newsletter from Hannants saying these are in stock as new arrivals. There is also a picture on the Luckymodel web page. But no mention (that I can find) on the Aires web page?

    I'm ordering mine regardless! Saves a fair amount of stratch building. All we need now are the Zacto intakes...

  5. Converting Trumpeters A-10A to an A-10C

    13 November 2012 - 09:45 PM

    I am looking at making this conversion shortly. From what I can see the following mods are needed to not only convert to the updated C model, but also basic kit improvements.

    If you can see any errors or omissions, please edit the list.

    - Gun gas extraction panels (LH side of fuselage under front canopy) that come in the kit are the old 'reverse scoop' style ones, replaced with screens some time ago.

    - Two MFDs and widened instrument coaming to accommodate.

    - HOTAS

    - 'T' style antennae (SADL?) on spine immediately aft of GPS dome

    - Ability to carry Sniper pod, which in modelling terms is invisible.

    - Formation lights on wingtip, fin and spine aft of cockpit

    - Move the compressor fan aft



    Thanks in advance,

    Steve
