Thank you for protecting us from posts that some might find to be annoying. To paraphrase a very old quote - To save the thread we had to destroy it.

I trust it will be locked down shortly, nothing to fear. Perhaps we need to have a discussion on a new forum, dedicated to all things WNW-related?

John1 replied to ssculptor's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
After a quarter century of development, the F-35 is in full production!! News Flash - the USAF just announced they will begin retiring their aging fleet of F-35’s, effective tomorrow. The first of these old jets will be heading for the bone yard this week. Film at 11! -
I just don't get it. No one forces members to read or follow a post. Why is it felt that it's such a horrible thing to have some thread drift. Look at the count of views for those posts, obviously a (very) large number of people were following this thread and participating and yet the mods decided that this was unacceptable and locked it? I think at minimum, the decision should have included feedback from the OP. If the OP felt his thread was being hijacked, that's one thing. If the mods just unilaterally decided that were going to lock it, that's something else. Leave the nuclear option off the table and save it for threads that devolve into politics, personal shots, etc. My $0.02.

I totally agree with you. I find the mod's heavy-handed approach to thread drift disappointing. Giving the demographics on this site and the inevitable decline in the number of members, I would think any discussion that people are passionate about would be welcomed and encouraged instead of being locked down. As long as the discussion remains civil, let it go wherever it goes. I recall another site that that tried to regulate posting by locking threads and bouncing members, it's pretty much on life support these days, some forums haven't had a post in months. SMH...

-
Appreciate the offer! Think just a few closeups would be fine. Did you use any setting solutions on them?
-
Any thoughts on the thickness of them and how they worked with setting solutions? I’m just happy that I found someone. Been hoping to do a very special F/A-18 Growler but the lack of a few decals was holding me back.
-
I must be the only person who looked at that list and went “Meh….No big loss.”
-
Anyone use them? He does custom decals for what seems to be a reasonable price (based on a post on another site).
-
Beat me to it. They are currently working on the wingtip pods as well and said they’ll also be doing all the other Growler-specific antennas.
-
Sir - I agree with others about this thread not being the place to slag someone else’s kit. That being said, I’m genuinely curious about what you feel Kotare missed. I hope you will start a dedicated post to detail your concerns. Edit - reading the rest of the posts, I see that the guy has been banned. I’d still be interested (in another thread) to understand what the issues were.
-
One guy did. See previous posts above. Dimensional issues and the cockpit is a complete “muddle”.
-
I must have missed the memo. When did the Kotare Spits go from “outstanding” to “garbage”?
-
Are the intakes that critical? Same for the ECM pods. I thought the Trumpy Growler was considered pretty accurate except for the missing “lumps”.
-
Upper deck is getting there. Still need to add all the small bits and do some touchups but it's progress. Anti skid areas were first coated with Mr. Surfacer and before it dried, stippled with a cut off paint brush to replicate the texture of the real thing.
