Alburymodeler Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 I don't see why, if it is resin, I'd imagine it'd be on a par with HpH, and if it's plastic, probably like Special Hobby. I would take five injection moulded Special Hobby over one resin kit. The Fly Hurricanes are quite nice, affordable, and relatively easy to put together. And we can contemplate different versions and/or conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A FM&P kit sometimes goes together easier than an IM kit simply based on the fact that Paul supplies fully closed/complete fuselages & wings. You just slid the pits in from below.

Out2gtcha Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 HpH kits may be more complex to assemble, but they are some of the most detailed and complete/need nothing added kits on the market today. scvrobeson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no particular order ... 1/ It probably means having to wait longer ... 2/ I doubt HpH are going to 'sell' the A-20 to HGW at cost! ... Therefore we'll have HpH's profit margin PLUS HGW's ... if it remains as resin. 3/ Regardless of the 'issues' people have with HpH kits ... we know the product - whereas we don't know what someone else will do with their masters. 3/ If it does come out as an IM kit ... it will almost certainly be a short run - I doubt the demand will be there to justify the outlay for high pressure moulds. The end result is it will be likely easier to put together, while lacking the crisp detail we're used to from HpH. Like I said ... I'll be disappointed ... I didn't say anyone else had to be ... I was looking forward to a LS A-20G in the shorter term ... Rog Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vulcan32 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think it will be a HpH kit with a HGW label on it´s box. scvrobeson and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I think the resin puddle method makes it easier to cast a large numbers of parts on one sheet, instead of having to use casting blocks for everything. Allows for shallower molds, while still maintaining the undercuts and detail on resin bits. Yeah, it creates some more sanding work v. just cutting the part off the block, but I can see why they do it Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Im hoping using the Sharpie marker/vac technique, will lend itself well to the HpH resin pool method, and make it easier to see where the pool (and the sanding!) should stop, and the part begins. scvrobeson and Vandy 1 VX 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian remember that the Sharpie pens react with most paints. I've used it on resin and used primer over the top. It still came through on the Finish paint coat.

It still came through on the Finish paint coat. Oh yeah. I always wipe down the vacs w/90% alcohol after I cut them out. Will be the same w/the Tigercat.

Artful69 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Still disappointed..? http://www.modelforum.cz/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=105045&start=825 Actually ... no! ... I have no drama admitting that I might be wrong in being a bit preemptive with commentary. I take it that what we're seeing is HpH resin? ... We'll just have to compare the price tag with other HpH twins when it arrives on the scene! Rog Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Smitty44 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Definately want to know more about that A-20! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The A-20 sounds pretty spectacular, going to need an extension on the apartment to store one. Now, that little Avia BH-11, that'd fit just fine Matt Tnarg and sandokan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
