  1. 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.
  2. I've used several. Never had a fit problem.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. I built the P-40E No problems were noted.
  6. 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.
  7. I've been around (and flown in) a lot of Russian aircraft in my travels. That's a standard Russian take off!
  8. I'm a member of that group. Plenty of good reference pics for anyone interested.
  9. 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?
  10. 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.
  11. I cannot possibly push the "Like" button enough for this comment!! I'd buy two!
  12. Does anyone know if Jordanian decals exist for a 1/32 Hunter?
  13. I am on facebook and it appears you have linked to a page in a closed group that I am not a member of.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. This is what I've been waiting for! My order will be forthcoming!
  17. I'll buy that. Need Iraqi decals.
  18. 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.
  19. I have this (also one for the MiG-15) and they are very nice!!
  20. 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.
  21. Fit is exceptional and it is very well engineered.
  22. Well, darn.... Doesn't that figure. I am well into a build of the LEM Kits Su-7BKL.
