  1. LOL! My personal situation has been severe issues with attention span and more time working on resin designs in CAD for Aviattic and Barracuda. Haven’t actually finished a build since 2018, and that needs to change this year. There actually is an update as of this week: I am giving this model to a friend to finish hopefully in time to have on display at the US Nationals this summer. I am eternally grateful to Richard and Jase at Wingnut for giving me the chance to build the HP and ogle it for a few years, but as much as I’d love to keep this beast, if (and that’s a big IF) I ever finished the build it would sit on a shelf at home where no one would see it. It doesn’t seem fair to me to hog such a rarity. This way, large scale WWI modelling will get a visible boost in attention, and if we’re lucky maybe it will even help interest more folks in building things with more than one wing. Ultra stretch goal: a swarm of interest thaws the cold heart of the hobbit lord and this model which was approved for production but never put into production finally sees the light of day. Now… to figure out how to pack the thing up and send it a few states away while protecting the weak biplane tail assembly. Wish me luck. Mike
  2. Please count me in as recipient, thanks.
  3. Love it!!! Looks like it should be a RetroKit minion, he does a huge line of random minions
  4. I did the same thing for the wing. Only problem is that you still need to scribe the leading edge fuel tank onto the lower wing… darn it Tamiya!
  5. Alrighty, back on track! Look for the resin at SMC in The Netherlands, and following shortly will be the shipment to the UK and more to Christian on the mainland. Richard will have his lot in plenty of time before Telford. Bo, that's a great idea. I'd buy it.
  6. I think it’s safe to say any delay in the release from here on out is my fault, apologies to folks waiting for the combo! I’ve been having a bit of an argument with my CAD software while finishing up the Strutter dashboard, but I’m shooting to have it all finalized in the next few days. Richard and Christian will share further updates through their usual channels. Once this is done, I’m off to relearn Rhino3D, as Fusion360 can take a long walk off a short pier Cheers, Mike
  7. +1! the Wolfpack conversion is impossible to find and poorly designed - parts don’t fit due to shrinkage. I am happy to share the info and photos from references I have if this is something you want to tackle. Would be a new radome, control panels (including new front coaming with HUD), tail tip, wingtip sensors like later Phantoms had (already present in the revell kits). Maybe one or two other bits as well, but that’s the bulk of it.
  8. Already part way into converting mine into an FR.18e… will post some pix when I get back from my business trip. Maybe by then the conversion will have landed
  9. * and Roy says “thank you for your vigilance!”
  10. Talked with Roy about this to give him a heads up, he’s running around and asked me to comment for him. This sheet is still available and he does sell to vendors in China, so it’s possible this is a legitimate seller. He’s not aware of anyone counterfeiting his decals yet, let’s hope it stays that way. cheers, Mike
  11. If someone here has the Val kit in hand and also has a good set of calipers, I need your help please. I’m finishing up a detailed prop hub design which will go over to Barracuda for production when completed, this is to replace the crappy kit hub. The design is essentially finished but since I don’t own the kit, what I need help with is one of you confirming the diameter of the prop shaft in millimeters, and also the diameter and depth of the mounting holes for the prop blades. Huge thanks to anyone who can assist, Mike
