  1. Looks like an easy fix with some sandpaper?
  2. Wow awesome.. do those rear threat radar things like being cooked on the titanium shrouds all day?
  3. Roy is at a modeling Expo of some sort in Germany..Moson? hes a busy man..I hope he can fit our project in. It’s not exactly the sort of work he normally does!?
  4. Pic was in the Science Museum in LA over the road from the USC campus. They also have a 2 seat SR-71 trainer and the Space Shuttle (Discovery?)...just don’t turn the wrong way and end up in South Central LA
  5. Since you’re now in possession of an HpH Merlin, why don’t you model a cowl open?
  6. Apparently he told his family that he had an appointment with a spacecraft and was leaving to live with aliens and was never seen again. In reality his truck was found on the side of a mountain and had human remains inside..it had been blown up in a remote location. It appears that whoever was in it had committed suicide. His P40 was purchased from his estate (off of his parents) and had parts of a Blenheim fuselage and an epenage from a Harvard (t-6 Texan)..but was properly restored to flying condition as N7205A..”old exterminator”
  7. Scuse my ignorance but what’s the difference? Aside from the color, fuel tanks and refueling probe is there much else?
  8. It had lots of horrible reputations..like one cannon shell through the spar between the fues and either engine 2 or 3 and it was bye-bye wing
  9. Wingnut will bring out a mirage 2000 kit just before the Kitty Hawk one is released
  10. I'm waiting and searching everywhere for these pics..?
  11. So the word on the street was that 3D printing used a material that when combined with the heat of the process makes the finished product not long lasting..is that true? Or is there a trick to get a long lasting model?
  12. Its definitely there when the aircraft is flying..wings have obvious oil canning when there's flying pressure over the wing surface (also what an ungodly racket!)
  13. https://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/2016/06/avro-lancaster-replica-dam-busters-remake/ this is is a bit of the back story..Weta Workshops and Peter Jackson went to MOTAT in Auckland to try use their Lanc to take detailed measurments from but MOTAT weren’t keen to have the Weta people crawling all over her. So apparently a Canadian group with a Lanc let them go ahead and got some generous $$ for their troubles. (Of course Weta and Wingnut are pretty much hand in hand)
  14. The T-50 was the nicest looking..the USAF has made a habit of taking the ugly sister to the dance lately
  15. Hey Anthony, chuck a couple of pics on here of the 1/48 Kahu commission just for my interest..I bet it’s as lovely as your Avenger
  16. Nice..where did you get that helmet? That’s cool! Although I’d need a British one from the 90’s
  17. ‘scuse my ignorance but does this model have the Allison or Merlin?
  18. Hey Anthony, is this what the RNZAF used on the maverick rail on the Skyhawks or just the sidewinder (ie will I need 1 or 2?)
  19. Thanks Harold can you post a link to where we can order when you’re done
