Saw Jerry and team out at the IPMS this past summer. Really enjoyed talking to him and Judy. Bought one of his D-9 prints--wish you a speedy recovery Jerry and hope to see you and your gang at the Nats in Va Beach. Best Wish, Brian

Started my build today and came across two very warped wings! Has anyone else that has built this kit experienced this problem and if so, what is the best way to correct the warps? I have the wings halves clamped but not glued together so far. Should I glue the wing halves together and then heat or heat each half separately and then clamp and glue once correct shape has been re-established? Thanks for the help, Brian

Does anyone have, or know where to get, some good images/diagrams of the K-4's left and right cockpit side panels?? Building the Trumpeter K-4 and redoing the cockpit. TIA, Brian

Gents, Thanks for all the helpful information. R/ Brian

Thanks all for the information. I'm going to try something new and take a set of Eduards PE for the 48th scale N1K2 George and enlarge it as a paper copy in 24th scale to see if I can then use the paper copy as a pattern in order make some detail parts for the my Bandai George... Thx, Brian

Sorry, I was talking about the F-100 not the F6F or the F-16... Brian

At the Richmond, VA. IPMS show this past weekend the guys from Black Box had a test shot of the forward fuselage at their booth!!!! I was able to pick it up and take a look at it--impressive, and large! Looking forward to seeing the whole model... Brian

Derek, Just ordered their set. Thanks for the information. Brian

I've got the ponce wheels but have seen a few builds that use a "Beading Tool" to make rivets. Can someone tell me where to get one of these tools for working in 48th and larger scales?? TIA, Brian

Thanks Ray.

Has anyone used this set in the Trump F4U?? If so, how is the fit and what modifications were necessary to make it fit???? Thx, Brian

Thanks for the input Ross, Brian

Has anyone tried the Mike West (Lone Star) gear wells on the Trump bird? I have a set for the old Revell kit--wonder if they'll fit the Trump??? Thanks Jamie for the cockpit info--I have been following your build. Brian

Or is time to buy a replacement??? Thx, Brian
