v1.3 of “A Modeller’s Guide to the Ju 88 G-6” Now Available & On Sale!
Mark P replied to LSP_Kevin's topic in KLP Publishing
Well...good thing a read your post. I initially only downloaded the guide! Now, both on hand! Thanks! Mark Proulx PS: What page has the new photo? -
Well, I saw some very positive OOB reviews on utube of the Trumpeter kit. Just goes to show that they are rather meaningless as the actual build provides the real review. Sad to see the results posted on this thread... Mark Proulx

Sad to read this Bill. OOB the kit looks impressive! Mark Proulx

Working on that purchase. Quinta cockpit set as well. Just bought the Windsock Triplane books to try and figure this think out. As I stated earlier, the learning curve for me will be rather steep! Mark Proulx

Excuse my blunder, but I should have stated that it is the Meng 24th kit I bought. Why I typed Merit?... Mark Proulx

Forever to find a two-bladed prop......Geez, if it wasn't for your post I would still be looking!... Mark Proulx
-
Fair enough, but the Revell kit scale doesnt match that of the Merit Triplane. That an important consideration if trying to amass a collection IMHO.... Mark Proulx

After grabbing the Merit Triplane in 1/24th, I started digging a bit more into this scale for WW1 aircraft (being a complete novice in this era). I found the Se-5a and Spad in 1/24th scale. I thought they could be a great add-ons with the Merit kit. However, like you I didn't find much (in fact, you found more than I did!). I believe that the Spad had great potential and was kind of shocked to see no aftermarket decals for that kit. Oh well, perhaps over time some decals and 3D stuff may appear. Mark Proulx

The more "squarish" Stuka canopy was a feature of earlier variants. The canopy became more tapered with the arrival of the Ju 87 D/G. If one considers that virtually every Stuka kit made in plastic has an inaccurate canopy, a 3D correction set could prove quite popular. Given some of the stuff currently being offered, I would think that this isn't beyond the realm of possibility. However, I know nothing of the 3D process.... Detailed photos are possible, as both versions of the Stuka are in museums. Just sayin... Mark Proulx

I think Google might be your friend. Search for "Stuka Walkaround" (for example) and you should find images that clearly show the Stuka canopy framing. While some is internal, edges of the framing likely is not. HTH Mark Proulx

Thierry correctly described the Stuka canopy. It is mostly braced internally, a feature no model manufacturer accurately depicts. Mark Proulx

It has been "acting up" for me this morning in Canada. On the bright side, at least we don't get flooded with advertising! Mark Proulx

And, I am not in the US. Mark Proulx

It has been much more of a problem lately trying to access thru my cell... Mark Proulx

P-51 D Revell 1/32 + Life Like Decals
Mark P replied to Daniel Iscold's topic in Ready for Inspection
Looks very good! Any issues with the fit of the checkered markings to the forward fuselage? This, a common area of concern. Mark Proulx -
I see four 32nd scale sets with individual item numbers applied. However, two appear the same indicating two sets in total. Begs the question, what is the difference between the four sets because I'm not seeing it in the drawings. Mark Proulx

I wasn't aware that EE did an ERLA nose. Mark Proulx
-
Which I also assisted with! Mark Proulx
-
If I may do some self promotion (something I don't normally do), EC#186 has some impressive nose art available on the 418 Squadron Mosquitos. I did the research for this project (among many others). Mark Proulx

I have been able to avoid an "upgrade" to Windows 11 so far. The notion of doing it causes me some level of concern. Not sure how much longer I can hold out though.... Mark Proulx
-
Ditto. Appears better now though. Mark Proulx

Eagle Editions has decals in 1/32nd scale for the D-11/13. HTH Mark Proulx -
I sold my HK kit. Sadly, once I saw the many visible flaws, I couldn't "unsee" them... Mark Proulx
