Maybe I haven't encountered the ones that people are complaining about. The two most recent ones I used were in the Academy F-16C and Hasegawa Ju 87G, and both cockpits fit fine.
-
I've used several. Never had a fit problem.

I was never blessed with the gift to gab. Been here 11+ years with just over 500 posts. It's just the way I am.

I have no interest, but perhaps I'll buy one so I can sell it on ebay for $10,000 when they suddenly go OOP.

Are the Hasegawa P40 kits really ill fitting?
kalashnikov-47 replied to Southern Bandit's topic in LSP Discussion
I built the P-40E No problems were noted. -
Brass replacement undercarriage for Revell Phantoms...

Voted full set. I need two. -
I agree to a point. But add up all the existing and announced Fw 190 kits. We all know that the 1/32 aircraft market is much smaller than the 1/48 aircraft market. If all the announced kits actually see the light of day, it's going to be a pretty saturated market out there. I'm already sitting on way more 1/32 Fw 190 kits than I'll ever build, and I'm not unique. This move might be a little too late in the game. As far as the Revell kits of popular subjects, well they've found their niche.. I can get Revell Fw 190's and Spitfires for less than $25 here in the USA. Tamiya also has their niche at the other end of the scale. But for all of the in-between guys.... It's going to be a pretty crowded market.

Unreal C-5 Galaxy takeoff, gut wrenching!

I've been around (and flown in) a lot of Russian aircraft in my travels. That's a standard Russian take off! -

I'm a member of that group. Plenty of good reference pics for anyone interested. -
My historical interest doesn't go beyond the end of the cold war and my interest in Soviet types is extremely high. Would love to see an Su-15 and some of the twin engined Yaks (25, 27, 28) and a decent MiG-17 (F, PF/PFM). MiG-25.... Oh - and how about a 1/32 IL-28?
-
Tommy, if you're interested you might want to look into the Vector engine upgrade and the cockpit from Lone Star. I have both for the F4B-4 I'm working on and well worth it.

I cannot possibly push the "Like" button enough for this comment!! I'd buy two! -
Does anyone know if Jordanian decals exist for a 1/32 Hunter?

I am on facebook and it appears you have linked to a page in a closed group that I am not a member of.

Jennings is correct. I was in the Air Force at the time and saw plenty of F-105's at the end of their service days. Many received the wrap-around camo scheme, including a few F-105B's but in SEA colors. I never saw anything like that.

I buy my Trumpeter stuff from an ebay seller in China, "Sunlight Model Store." Kit price + shipping is a bit less than what I would pay for the kit alone from a U.S. supplier, and there's no customs duty on toys/hobbies. I recently bought a Skyraider from them for the Fisher conversion. [EDIT] There's no customs duty on toys/hobbies in U.S.

This is what I've been waiting for! My order will be forthcoming!

Fighters and helicopters in and around Moscow!

I was given a private tour of that museum in 1997, including areas closed to the public. At the end the museum official gave me a piece of Gary Powers' U-2. -
I have this (also one for the MiG-15) and they are very nice!!
-
THANK YOU! This is a great one and I have bookmarked this link. I have collected most of the available aftermarket stuff (doesn't somebody make resin wheels?) but figuring out the MiG-17F afterburner nozzle still escapes me.
-
Fit is exceptional and it is very well engineered.
-
Well, darn.... Doesn't that figure. I am well into a build of the LEM Kits Su-7BKL.
