I’m interested in building a 1/32 Polish F-16, can the Academy f-16 Sufa be used or converted to this? thanks

Dave, Received my order yesterday, Fantastic as usual! Have you started shipping the ATARS yet? Rick

Dave, Your turning out some amazing stuff. I was wondering if you plan on 3D printing the round tube located on top of the WSO's instrument cowling, not sure what it is but you see them on a lot of the deltas, also the rear deck behind the WSO has a ton of detail that is lacking on the Academy kit that I think would be great to see on the 1/32 deltas. There are two objects that sit on the STBD of the canopy sills not sure what these are either but are common on Deltas as well, I was actually thinking of scratch building these but if they were offered I would buy a few. Thanks Rick

But Dave, Those are GOOD YEARS....You molded Michelins...I'm kidding I'll be ordering those soon as well. I've ordered quite a bit from you for my 1/32 Hornet and all the products are fantastic, one thing I have noticed and maybe it's part of the 3D printing process, but the resin is very brittle, is this normal? I've gotten 3D molded products like Reedoak figures that are not as brittle, I was wondering is all. Thanks Rick

Dave, Are those tires weighted?

If only Academy would reissue the Delta version again, these kits are extremely hard to come by. But I will definitely buy one of these! Rick

Anyone know where I could possibly get modern 1/32 RAF Tornado pilots? Or would it be possible to modify a 1/32 Redoak pilot? Thanks DJ

Got a lot built on this project, once I figure out how to upload photos I'll get them on here. Added Flying leather necks LAU-&F Missle Launcher Reedoak Navy pilots DJ

What would it take to use these F-16 pilot figures to work in an Academy f-18D kit? What modifications would I need to do to them to make an accurate Marine corps F1-8 pilot/ thanks

Could someone explain to me how I can go about loading photos to this topic? Thanks

Sorry for not posting pics sooner, I've got the fuselage together getting the resin cockpit and gear well in it very time consuming to get everything right. More to come.

Fill with super glue, file or sand down with a block, rescribe with dymo tape. Dj

Not sure, I haven’t been able to find them anywhere. DJ

This is my first Topic since joining LSP. I am currently working on my Academy 1/32 F/A-18D Hornet Special edition kit. I've thrown just about all I can at this kit. I've built 2 of these kits and they are fantastic! So here's my list of aftermarket parts. Aires wheel wells Aires SJU-17 seats (modified) Avionix Resin cockpit Rhino seamless intakes Wolfpack chaff dispensers G-Factor landing gears Eduard interior etch set Eduard exterior etch set Eduard Mesh set A.M.U.R. Reaver etched Louver and Meshes set (RARE)! Reskit Exhaust (FANTASTIC)! Reskit BRU-55 Smart Bomb Rack Flying Leathernecks HUD Flying Leathernecks GBU-38 Flying leathernecks F/A 18 A++C/D pylons Eduard Brassin Aim-9L sidewinder Eduard Brassin GBU-12 Eduard Brassin AN/AAQ-28 Litening pod Several decal sets as I am still not positive on the scheme I want to build. Suggestions maybe? I'll be uploading photos soon. DJ

This is typical Kitty Hawk, I refuse to buy anything with the kitty hawk name on it. The worst QC of any brand! And their customer service is just as horrible! If anybody needs parts from the HH-60 I've got the whole kit minus the two fuselage halves. Let it go cheap it's an unbuildable kit. DJ

One of the fuselage halves was so warped I couldn’t even get the two halves together. dj

John, I sure did on several occasions, she told me they where none in stock, she played that game with me for months, then asked for photos of the fuselage which I did, she then said try to fix it. There was no way it could be fixed! fed with the whole story told her I would never purchase another kitty hawk kit and threw it out. Dj

I sure do wish I could say I was looking forward to these releases but after the crap I went through trying to get a replacement fuselage from Shitty Hawk I can say I will NEVER purchase from them again!...And I never received a replacement part either. DJ
