I'd buy a multimedia kit at the drop of a hat; styrene not so much. Maybe HPH will do one?
-
These kits look awesome and I don't have an issue with the odd omission or error. None looks major and for the first time in quite a while, I fancy buying a plastic kit of a type I didn't think I was interested in. Thankyou Takom for showing a bit of imagination.

Facebook as a research source for model builds
Sabrejet replied to John1's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
I'm not sure what the aversion to FB is: there is indeed some amazing stuff on there! -
Really looking forward to pages of "I've ordered mine", then "mine's on the way" and then more pages of boxtop pics.
-
Hopefully the FH-1 will be first tho...
-
Mine's not on the way. I didn't order one but it looks nice. Just thought I'd post some white noise to a thread which is mainly white noise.

...and a DH.6, Martinsyde Elephant and a Vickers Bullet in 1/24 :)... -

Kagemusha's post "link" takes me straight to the "1 1/2-Strutter two seat fighter Roden 365" page. -
2023 final year for air races at Reno
Sabrejet replied to KiwiZac's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
I never understood people getting sniffy about '"warbirds" being modified into racers. For the first part many of them had seen no service and would otherwise have gone to the smelter. More importantly we'd never have seen such awesome machinery as Anson Johnson's P-51, Galloping Ghost/Miss Candace/Jeannie, Roto-Finish Special/Red Baron, the Pond Racer, Rare Bear, Precious Metal, Dreadnought and many, many more. I do hope that the Unlimiteds will find a home somewhere, but times change. I hope the key survivors make it into museums and don't get butchered into faux "warbirds". -
LF info on F-86 vs Mig-15 battle at treetop level
Sabrejet replied to Lee in Texas's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Thanks. I was hoping I had the after-action report but it looks not. The FEAF and Group records at that time have a lot of info on MiG markings. -

If anyone could post details of the date etc, I'd be interested. These videos are unavailable in UK. -

Do we know the date of this engagement? I cannot view the video. -
Thanks for posting the pics: it looks like an awesome kit

Roden 1/32 Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter and Avro 504 coming
Sabrejet replied to KiwiZac's topic in LSP Discussion
Additionally, Sopwith Type 9400 or Sopwith Type 9700 (RNAS) or Sopwith Two-Seater (2-Str) for the RFC. It was also, IIRC, the first aircraft to have a dedicated bomb bay with bomb doors. -
Roden 1/32 Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter and Avro 504 coming
Sabrejet replied to KiwiZac's topic in LSP Discussion
You know when you say "General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon"? Well saying "Strutter" is like saying "Falcon" Or "General Dynamics Falcon" Or "F-16 Falcon". It's not a "Sopwith 1-1/2". The "1-1/2" bit isn't a type number: it's part of the "Strutter" bit. Not pedantic, just correct. -
Roden 1/32 Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter and Avro 504 coming
Sabrejet replied to KiwiZac's topic in LSP Discussion
Rigging is only daunting until you do it. There is a lot of stuff around these days to make life easier (especially rigging line material) and it can be really relaxing. -

Nice to see: a 1 1/2-Strutter is cool but the '504 should be a real winner! -

Recent state of the art 1/32 injected moulded jet question
Sabrejet replied to Talon's topic in LSP Discussion
I'd suggest HPH L-39 and B-52 as a start: both superlative. -

Time to look at the resin maybe? -
I'm getting regular updates on my X-3 (I'm OK to wait) and will be on the FH-1 list. The store isn't like a conventional 'click and buy' store - you'll get a notification that the next one is available for pre-order and then you can apply. Back to the question: has anyone received the Learjet kit yet and would they be able to post photos?
