Beautiful work, John! (You might want to compress your images a bit, though, as the file sizes are huge!) Kev

Thanks, Simon! John also has 3 other titles with us: Kev

With just a few days remaining of the current financial year down under, I thought we'd launch another 4-day, End of Financial Year flash sale. Just use the coupon code EOFY2025 at checkout to receive 20% off the value of your cart (new F-16 book excluded). That coupon code again: EOFY2025 Sale ends at midnight, 30 June 2025 AEST. Head on over to our webstore and grab yourself a bargain! Kev

I also noticed that I had neglected to move this thread out of the GB as Rockie requested, so I've done that now. Kev

Sadly Rockie hasn't visited us for a good 6 months now, and my attempts to contact him have so far failed. Kev

Looks fantastic, Tom! Congrats on a fine result. Kev

Very nice, Rob! I have a similar project planned myself. Kev

That looks brilliant, Alex! Kev

Very sad news, Chris. Thanks for sharing it with us. Our deepest condolences to all his family and friends. Kev

Welcome aboard, Rob! Terrific work on that helo. Kev

My take on your failures here is due to suction forces. The open end of the design is creating suction with the FEP, and the process then becomes a tug-of-war between the FEP and the build plate (it is anyway, but one that the build plate is supposed to win). Ironically, this is something that the tilting vat of the S4U is supposed to eliminate! Rather than continue to mess with the exposure settings, experiment a bit more with the print orientation to avoid any open cavities being directly perpendicular to the FEP. Kev

Thanks, Iain! Kev

Howdy folks, I've just published this week's What's New update. Enjoy! Kev

I also have this kit, so am also interested in any solutions! Kev

Fantastic build, Ernest! And now the subject of this week's banner image on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/largescaleplanes Kev

Looks fantastic, Mike! Kev

I got it! Kev

I used the metal ones on my Tiger Moth (I know, not accurate!), and found much the same thing as Ben. Would go resin next time. Kev

Looks the biz! Kev

Excellent precision, John! Those little metal clamps/pegs look mighty handy. Kev

I'm pleased to say that the book of the series is ready now! https://www.klp.com.au/product/building-the-tamiya-f-16c-aggressor-in-1-3 Kev

I’m pleased to announce that Building the Tamiya F-16C Aggressor in 1/32 Scale is now available for immediate purchase and download! The cost is 18 Australian dollars. In this 293-page eBook, expert modeller Chuck Sawyer builds the Tamiya 1/32 F-16 kit as an Aggressor in the “Ghost” camouflage scheme. Chuck expertly navigates the various changes that are required to produce the specific block number for the aircraft he is modelling. He also includes a number of aftermarket items to improve the build, showing in forensic detail how to get the best out of them. Chuck then goes on to demonstrate how to achieve the complicated “Ghost” scheme using a paint mask set from AeroMasks, along with various decals. The book rounds out with a series of Appendices listing available aftermarket products and reference book. Sample pages are available on the product page: https://www.klp.com.au/product/building-the-tamiya-f-16c-aggressor-in-1-32-scale/ Kev

Some really nice work there! Kev

Fantastic result, Alex! Kev
