  1. Ha I might be up for that. I did just receive the "USAF A-6 landing gear set" I suppose I could start there
  2. I really need to finish my build of the A-6B I was working on before health issues hit. As noted it is a somewhat complicated kit but wow whatever else you can say about Trumpeter I am very thankful they released an A-6 in the best scale
  3. very cool progress glad to hear you are working through the challenges! Ha, I blame getting "and kill migs" and the detail and scale volumes on the A-6, A-4 and A-7 as a child for my lifelong interest in those subjects. Such cool covers!
  4. Ah gotcha - dont think I have seen any build threads anywhere but I dont get out much
  5. Maybe there is a window for a "basic" good cheap DVII? Even the WNW was a little on the complex side with its fuselage divided into many parts/panels. I feel like there could be a basic version that maybe didn't replicate the entire front tube structure (that mostly cannot be seen once all the panels are installed. Just curious - I thought the Gothaforce kits came out months ago - I assume not yet?
  6. Agreed - I dont mind the what if and such a cool looking plane. Heck maybe go crazy with the what if angle - say the 229B was captured at the end of WW2 and adopted to be built in the USA then used in the Korean war as a night fighter in US markings along side twin mustangs lol
  7. Ha yeah we are branching out into different topics to complain about but I would agree that the over-engineered "include all the internal stuff and 1000 parts" is not my preferred kit either. Again opinions differ - some apparently love having all the internal structure, all panels wide open, complete inline engine (on a kit where it would not be visible at all if the cowl is shut.) Heck I recall someone absolutely lambasting a Kotare Spitfire because it did not have the engine and open panels on it - called it overpriced garbage. I wish for back to the times of Hasegawas later 1/32 kits where ya got a decent mostly accurate shape, decent understated surface detail, basic interior and a relatively low price point but that ship has (apparently) sailed....
  8. ha well it would be pretty irritating to me if we see a P-51B in 1/35 (like a really good one, Tamiya/Kotare quality and accuracy) before we see a good one in 1/32 but meh I have plenty of other things in the stash and if you are all thrilled for this 1/35th trend more power to you
  9. yeah really hope we dont lose them - have done subjects no one else has touched in 1/32 my build of one of their kits
  10. Gotcha. While I like ZM kits a lot, I wish they would not do such specific boxings with only one variante/one decal option. I assume the hope is that buyers will purchase multiple kits this way?
  11. Really interesting a/c. Ex VA-22 bird from Operation Praying Mantis in 88 maybe? (total WAG there...)
  12. Fabulous news then - thankya
  13. Huh odd - the "upgrade" set with brass gun barrels it is listed so was confusing? SWS17-M03 Hs 129 B-1/B-2 Turned Metal Machine Gun and Pitot Tube Set Type: Turned Metal Parts Included Items: Barrel for MG 17 ×2, Barrel for MG 151 ×2, Barrel for MK 101 ×1, Barrel for MK 103 ×1, Muzzle Brake for MK 101 ×1, Muzzle Brake for MK 103 ×1, Pitot Tube ×1
  14. Doesn't their existing kit come with MK-103?
  15. Is reskit replacing the nose too? I don't think I have seen that part for the 1/32 scale renders. The "tweak list" for the kit that is literally the first thing to correct ("The nose is too pointy. Rebuild it with epoxy putty or replace it with an aftermarket part") The nose is included on their 1/48 scale sets for the A-7 FWIW
