I would love to see a 1:35 scale SA-341 or SA-342 Gazelle Then a 1:35 or even 1:32 Jet Ranger or Long Ranger -

Nice Christmas project - Tamiya 1/24th scale Lotus Europa
Buster99 replied to Shoggz's topic in Non-LSP Works
Nicely done! One of my favourite cars. Some 30 years ago I nearly bought a 1:1 in great condition for a ridiculously low price but found out quickly that only short people will fit in it. I could put my legs in but my neck hit the roof at the door opening, and I got stuck at the steering wheel. I managed to squeeze myself in the passenger seat but could not look forward as I had to bend my head down, that was some disappointment I will never forget! -

I received mine today from the Aviation Megastore in the Netherlands. My quick look: Beautiful model, very delicate parts with subtle details. The cockpit 'decals' are 3d printed, just great and very nice! Canopy looks very nice and clear. Decals are nice as well, printed in register and good color saturation. The printed resin parts, rotorhead and cylinder heads look very nice as well, beautiful delicate printwork. Clear and well printed instructions included. Sadly there were some small parts that were short-shot and did not fully get formed on the sprue. You can see it on the sprue with the rotor blades on the bottom part where the 7 small thin parts are in a row. They seem to be relatively easy to make though. Some parts also had minor flash, nothing serious and should be easy to clean. Some parts do not seem to be used in building this kit so maybe there will be another version as well in the future. All in all I am very happy with this beautiful kit and can recommend it. Best regards, Marc

I have been using clear aquarium air pump hose for years. The clear tubing is very cheap and when used in sufficient length will help in reducing fluctuations in air pressure and will also show any moisture that may be present. I typically use more than 3 meters (3 yards).

1/35 Phillip's screw heads
Buster99 replied to Hawkwrench's topic in Construction & Scratch-building
They are available here but I do not know if it is practical to have them shipped to where you are. Aber Photo-etch Philips head screws 1/35 HTH, Marc -
Hello Geoff, indeed a beautiful plane! And yes, the span would have to be slightly increased in order to have the same span as drawn when viewing from the top. Looking from the front the dihedral forms the hypothenuse of a right angle triangle. The drawing forms the horizontal leg of the triangle and the distance that the wingtip is lifted from the horizontal forms the vertical leg of the triangle (Pythagorean theorem). As the hypothenuse will be slightly longer it will so correct the length in relation to the top view. HTH, Marc

Very interesting build of a beautiful airplane that I have just become aware of, thank you! Regarding using the drawings, would it not be necessary to take the wing dihedral into account? I may be terribly of track, but should the wing not be slightly larger to compensate for that dihedral (hypothenuse). That is if the drawing actually represents a top view of the wing? Marc

Very happy to see this build, I will follow with great interest! I have a number of these to build but do not feel confident enough yet. Pilot figure certainly looks outstanding.

You may want to recheck MSFS as an Airbus-EC135 helicopter has been released and it has been modelled quite well! There are several YT videos you may want to watch that will show what has been achieved. And best of it, it's a free download! I do fully agree that MSFS is not there yet but it does have a certain development velocity that provides good hope for the not so far future. Stability and flight models have been improving and several companies are actively working with MSFS to make things better fast. For me the feature most lacking is multi-screen views of the outside world, without that the experience just does not feel realistic in spite of the great scenery improvements versus FSX/P3D.

Aviation Megastore has a Wilga in 1:32 but they are waiting for restock and it's pricey. Did not find the Cmelak in anything bigger than 1:72. HTH, Marc

Seeing a 1/32 or rather a 1/35 AH-64D or E model as well as a 1/32 scale Eurocopter AS350 Écureuil would make me really happy. (1/32 Bell 206 Jet Ranger would be great as well)
