The real question here is when is the F-4 release? I've waited oh so long for this version of the kit and Zotz decals makes it even more exciting.

Of course! John is a wonderful human and I’m happy to help him.

Hi Troy, Can you email me images or send them in a message, please? A drill press is next on my buying list and I’m about ready to buy one this week.

Welcome back - I hope your time away was well spent.

£135 for the A-1 and £120 for the A-4!

Do it! He did it for me!

Now I just have to start and actually finish the build.

I’ve never heard of them but now I’ve found the missing piece for two WNW kits I haven’t attempted to start - the prop

AIMS Ju-88 G-6 and Bf 110 G-6 sets purchased!

Again, a master class in building. Now the question is what to do with this inspiration - Mirage 2000-5 or P-51D

Again, thank you for the excellent insight. I recently watched the documentary Night Bombers and the narrator described the German night fighters as absolutely terrifying. Ever since then I’ve been fascinated by this aspect of the air war. I plan on building the Ju-88C-6 or G-1 when Pastor John heals up and I can get a hold of all the appropriate AM. Can you recommend any books / resources for the aircraft? I have Die Deutsche Luftwaffe - Eine Bilddokumentation der Luftwaffe von 1935 - 1945 Volumes 1 and 3. Feel free to message me as to not clog the thread.

Excellent summary. I had no idea it was that versatile. After looking around, I’m now obsessed with building a night fighter variant with radar.

I’m not familiar with the Ju-88. Can someone shed some light as to why these conversions are highly sought after?

This is a masterclass in everything one needs to level up their skills. I appreciate you showing your masking method. I had trouble getting mine to stick on my last build and it caused a lot of head aches, but I look forward to trying your method on my next build!

I was just gifted a Dragon Bf110 D/E and I think I'd like to add a conversion because there are so many variants to explore.

Thank you, Thierry. I have Volume 2 coming today and will search for Volume 3.

Of the 4 volumes of the Me262 books, which appears to be more useful when building the A-1a? They’re all so hard to find and so expensive.

Here in the United States, at my local shop, I am the youngest by about 20 years (I'm in my 30s) and its always been that way. I haven't been to a show in years, but I suspect I'll be one of the youngest non-juniors to show.

If Eduard did the entire early MiG family I’d cry non stop. However, in all seriousness, it’s a bit silly that there aren’t newer copies of MiG-15, 17, 19, 21, etc. with so many real examples and documentation around the world. I really hope to see this.

I’m with you - I’m also an engineer with little time. I’m currently designing and printing more detailed landing gear bays for the Mirage 2000C

I would love this kit, but I’m seriously considering selling my Viggen because the resin just doesn’t line up. For the cost it shouldn’t take this much effort to produce this kit.

The MiG-21 was next for me too! thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I love Soviet aviation from this era so if I find a “reasonable” priced book I’ll be happy.

Also, just subed to your Patreon - It's great to support more people producing excellent work.

Oh this is fine, but the F-104 kit and everything else might be a challenge. Currently I'm 3D scanning a number of parts from kits so I can create 3D printed parts that fit with minimal / no modifications. First up is the Mirage 2000C landing gear and the A-1H Skyraider cockpit

I’m blaming you when my partner finds another package
