When I was a lad we had 4 "scales" of aircraft, 60, 40, 26 ish and Cox .049. Anything that wasn't glow powered was exotic An airframe with a wingspan over 5 foot was "Giant Scale", and was powered by a 60 single glow engine. The world has moved on, I've got a 1/3 scale CA-27 and a 1/3 Scale Cessna O2 on my bench, both will have about a 12 ft span. The Sabre will be driven by a turbine, the O-2 might run on electrics or 4 stroke gas boxers, all of those options would have been a fantasy when I was a lad😄

A dream of mine is to offer a "costs +" 3d printing service for modellers in my area. Send me your files, pay for the resin (plus say, 10% to cover failures, maintenance and other issues) and then postage at cost. I don't want to start a business, that's too much work, but helping out fellow modellers...that's right up my street 👍 -

Looks like there's a "special edition" https://revell.de/en/shop/product/037799090-gloster-meteor-f-8-fr-9-first-edition?srsltid=AfmBOooiQ5bjAl7xvTOXyhQMFJCW2KUy0TZcKDatcNhv9tCfunyLlVw

My 3000 unit limited release information comes from YouTube, a very reliable source🤔 I'd love to buy it from my LHS, but looking at the markup they have on their stock, I'd be better off flying to the factory and picking one up from there😢

The cost for AM is getting too high
Smokeyforgothispassword replied to williamj's topic in General Discussion
I have an idea... (I've had a few fermented potato based beverages so it may be a bad idea) For the AM manufacturers that deal in resin, why not digitise your product, find a reliable 3d printing firm in your target markets, licence your files and cut the shipping costs? The same could be done for decals and masks. We have modern tools and methods, why not use them to everyone's advantage (apart from shipping companies) Smokey -

Apparently it's going to be a limited edition, only 3000 to be made. I'll only buy 2, so other Aussies can buy the other 2997😁

M1A2 SEP v3 - Australia’s new Abrams (1/16)
Smokeyforgothispassword replied to GMK's topic in Non-LSP Works
A decade ago I heard the odd old fart stating that 3D printing would be the end of model making..Mate, you've not only proven them wrong you've also inspired old farts like me Beautiful work, both on the CAD side and printing side -
It helps to have a son in the Air Force...
Smokeyforgothispassword replied to jmustarde's topic in LSP Discussion
Any chance you'll be putting your Son up for adoption? I can throw a couple of Airfix TSR2's in to sweeten the deal? -

I'm trying to surmise what has been mentioned in this thread. 1. No engine detail 2. Single engine 3. Manageable size 4. Marketability. 5. Research- ability. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the A4 Skyhawk! My reasoning (in no particular order); There are a couple within spitting distance that can be measured, scanned, photographed and crawled over. Engine detail can be sorted out with a compressor fan and whatever the bit at the backs called. It's much the same size as a Spit, just thinner and longer. With sensibly thought out moulds, I cant see why any version couldn't be kitted without breaking the bank. My supplementary thought - it was operated by 10 nations, wore some fantastic camo schemes, lived in the era of gorgeous / garish nose and tail art, looks great both clean and laden. I'd buy a few (a few dozen if I won the lottery) - only single seaters though. Now, onto the wishlist that shall remain unsaid - Waco YMF5 - YES YES YES. a thousand times Yes! Lysander - see above CAC CA-15, never going to happen but a boy can dream. P-51 B - nah, I'm not in that camp, they're ugly, but good luck to those who have no taste

I can't say that I'm a fan of the 109, so I might just buy one for the stash, just to support Kotare so they can eventually build the definitive A-4 series

Hi Frank

I agree mate, the honest thing to do is share a link to where you bought the files, and allow us to purchase them ourselves, rewarding the designer (therefore encouraging them to create some more 3d models) Anyhow, I've copied all the parts from my Border Models Lanc, I'll sell them for $50 bucks per sprue (ethics be damned !)

New Kotare kit for late 2024 announced
Smokeyforgothispassword replied to Borsos's topic in LSP Discussion
4 if I have a few potato based beverages and decide that a bit of whiffery in the form of an RCAF Snowbirds and an RAAF Roulettes scheme might look fantastic in the Ikea cabinet. Mind you, if I only bought one, I'd probably beat the wish/want/ purchase ratio of a P-51 B. That's the advantage of being a bit odd
