chuck540z3 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 also the CAM exhausts have the correct diameter they are not available Chuck: http://sierrahotelmodels.webs.com/apps/webstore/products/show/4056973 Typical Sierra Hotel!! If their products weren't so darn good (all of them) I'd blow them off as a supplier, but the quality is second to none. Thanks, Chuck LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 The Sierra Hotel exhaust set is the very best ever made and unlike Aires, they actually fit the kit. Sierra Hotel is a frustrating vendor because they never have any stock, but it appears they do right now here: http://sierrahotelmodels.webs.com/32700 BTW, the Avionix pit is quite good, but the fit is very tight so there will be lots of trimming and sanding to make it fit correctly. Cheers, Chuck Like almost everything else ever made by SH, it's not actually available. The few things they actually made were apparently only available to a select few at various US Nats.

Doesn't GT Resin make nicely detailed, sufficiently big, jetcans ? Tony Luca and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 What is the use to create a brand, build an Internet website, create masters, announce products and... for years never release anything else that some pre-productions items for some happy few...!?! This puzzles me as most of the costs are before full-scale production! I do not understand why they do not subcontract production to a serious company in order to focus on master creation and reselling. A cornerstone of business activites is to focus on what you are good at and subcontract the rest to a reliable partner. I guess that the hobby aspect probably obfuscates the reasonable business approach. Weird world in which there is probably no better way to frustrate potential customers... Hopefully, there are equivalent offers from other brands for most of their products. Luca 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Isn't SH run by one of our guys here, Chuck? Viper Enforcer. There was a post some months ago regards their products being available from another manufacturer, hope so as their products are superb, but almost impossible to get hold of.

LSP_K2 Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yesterday I received a package from Gary at GT, the F-4 burner cans, and from what I can see, they're really quite nice. I also have another set coming (different manufacturer), so perhaps I can do a comparison between the two, plus reviewing this set, though that won't happen until it cools off a bit here.

LSP_K2 Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 And the second set, Eduard Brassin, has arrived (thanks a ton, Carl), so when time (and weather) allows, I'll do a side by side comparison for the site. Both sets, these and the GT, really look quite excellent, and the comparison should prove interesting.

Luca Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Kevin, I think that the Brassin exhaust nozzles could be slightly undersized in diameter... maybe. Can't wait to see your comparison! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see your comparison! cheers Possible, but I haven't measured anything yet, though I will (using my dime store calipers), as I do the comparison. I think chuck made a 4 way compare in his f4 kicked up a knoch thread I'll have to hunt that down, unless of course, you can provide a link.
