Radub Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks everyone. Yes Jay, this is also going to serve as a master. I forgot to mention that. The 109 is still an on-going project. I have done some work on it - there should be some pictures on that soon. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Ray Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Beautiful work as always, Radub!!! Have you pulled the 1/24th IAR80 out yet??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LSP_Jay L Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Excellent news about it being a master Radu! I meant to ask about your lathe. I am in desperate need of one now to progress with my scratching and was curious as to what you would reccomend. I am looking around, but I am indescisive about wood/metal as I think metal would be much more versataile but they are also much more expensive. Does a woodturning one do the trick with plastic?

Juggernut Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 oh boy oh boy oh boy.....I can see my Revell Ki-61-1D warmin up in the bullpen....and with this being a "master" I'm assuming that MDC will be casting the sets? Now all I have to do is correct the remaining issues (those worth correcting mind you) and I'll have an awesome Kitai 61. Now all I have to do is pray that Hasegawa releases a better version before this goes to press and then you could knock me over with a goose feather.... AWESOME WORK MR. !! LUV IT, LUUUV IT.

Radub Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Thanks again everyone. Jay, I use a Clisby lathe. http://www.clisby.com.au/ I have the metal lathe but I spent a fortune on accessories ( I bough almost everything they sell). I recommend a three jaw chuck, face plates, plenty of cutting tool blanks, and the wood turning attachment. It is very basic and takes a hellof a lot of practice, but it works. It is perfect for plastic. I never had much success truying to cut metal with it but that is most likely because I am doing something wrong. You need a adjustable transformer for it - I use a Minicraft one. Ray, the 1/24 IAR 80 is on the very long finger now. I am not sure I like it really - Modelism cut a lot of corners. TimC, I would dearly welcome a Hasegawa kit. The good news is that the parts are as accurate as I could get them, so they are future-proof: they will be applicable to any eventual new kit. The Revell kit will need to be modified to fit these parts, not the other way round. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Colvin Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I will have that set, as my ki has the wings and all the other bs done.

bdthoresen Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Radu- In the process of that one myself......Still pondering the instrument panel though. Nice Work so far!!!!......You would not be willing to sell a couple of extra vac canopies, would ya? Keep it up! Thor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Carroll Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Radu, As usual excellent work. I'll have to have me a couple as well. Are you planning wheel wells or any other stuff? Cheers Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radub Posted February 7, 2006 Author Share Posted February 7, 2006 Thanks everyone, Dan, MDC are going to do the casting. Thor, The canopy will be part of the package. I hope you will be able to get it from MDC soon. Tim, I will take it one step at a time. I hate to make promises... I definitely have further plans with the Revell kit. I will keep everyone posted as I go along with it. More photos later today. Radu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Radu, Very impressive work there (thanks for making me feel inadequate again! ). The quality of your patterns go without saying, so I now propose a new name to the LSP; Whenever something is given an extensive modification, or is replaced by a scratchbuilt item of this quality, it shall be known henceforth as 'Raduised' - a form of Radunisation I suppose . Good luck with your own future endeavours. Best regards Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
