paul fisher Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I contacted Paul, and got replacements. He did reinforce, but.... It was only the main leg part. The smaller link pieces, as illustrated in my photographs, is still unreinforced resin, so the problem persists. I'll have to do some surgery, and I plan on assembling the replacement parts at non-authentic angles to absorb the model's weight without collapsing again. I am in the process of having the Skyray gear and retraction links cast in brass, it will take a few weeks but I am hopeful we will have some metal gear for those who want it.Panther/Cougar legs too, although as previous;y mentioned I've yet to see any trouble from those supplied in the kit.

Zero77 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'd be glad to buy some brass replacement gear, too, for all three kits ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Psssst! I know a guy, that knows a guy that has a truck load of cheap imported illigal brass buried in his back yard just waiting to be smelted into some awesome 1:32nd scale goodness! Dude!!!!!!! Shhhhhhhhh. Keep it on the low down, please!!!!!! Go Brian go! Just a little humor to rock this episode into fruition for all of us! Then again a Tigercat? Who would've thought, eh? Yawn! Why not do a Bf-109G or K? Just asking. There is nothing else worthy my friends! Ha ha. All good humor! All the best Brian. Carry on!

Out2gtcha Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thanks Troy! Im just the initiator of this stuff..................there are in fact other things at work in the background on at least two fronts. Neither of which unfortunately Im directly involved in, but Im hoping to get regular updates.Im not really at liberty to discuss ATM, but there are things in the works for brass LSP gear (OV-10 and F7F for starters) but its not off the ground yet remotely, so we are in a holding pattern right now. Im hoping with in a few months I have some concrete updates on one or the other side of this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottsGT Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Well add the Trumpeter F-105 gear to the list. I thought I had a set for at least one of my two kits in my stash. Went to look Saturday and none to be found. And of course all sources are sold out. Seems that all of Ernie's products are selling out and not being restocked due to availability.

Bill_S Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 ZM's Shinden could use a set, too. I bought the metal legs available from ZM, and they've already failed. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I can gather Ernie doesn't have too much on his plate, he has too many PLATES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clunkmeister Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Things might be looking up for keeping our models from sinking down over time. Great news, no doubt. Brian, you KNOW I'm paying close attention to this, man. I'm crazy happy with the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 This thread must not die! Just went nuts online ordering all kinds of G Factor gear for kits I have in the stash. I think I have some 'splanin' to do when the boss looks at the CC bill. Winnie and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
