Harold Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) Here is a few shots of the work I have done so far. It will be made to be used with the TD cockpit set. (with very minor adjustments, it can be used with the other two resin sets) I still need work to do on the glare shield section that sits over the IP. The joystick is done. The IP is done, but may need more fitting. I will be doing the antenna as I have time. (I haven't removed the pouring blocks from all the TD parts) Edited May 7, 2014 by Harold Marcel111 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 I just checked to see if the TD set is available, Squadron has them for $15... $15!!! I wish Sprue had them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Excellent work Somebody needs to do a new canopy for that Hog kit. Any chance of doing a resin frame and pulling some vacs of the correct shape? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Howie Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Nice work but TD is about the worst resin manufacturer in the world. Inconsistent accuracy combined with quality that is pathetic and im serious. After a recent purchase of 5 sets of CBU-14's and some rocket pods not one of them was usable. Not one! I mean come on..terrible design with butt cut points actually on the weapon and pitted rough surface with bubbles. I wouldn't touch it another product of theres with a barge pole. As for Harold's just got by A-6 seats and just awesome. There are plenty of CE sets still around and i will use one of those it worth the extra 25 bucks to grab one from Ebay. Great work Harold!

Tony T Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The one Squadron does is still too far off? Somebody told me it was a copy of the kit parts but on closer inspection it is indeed a revision and makes the kit buildable - hmmm, makes it much more of a proposition. Thanks Harold.

Yes I found that most of the resin is really gone down quality lately. The pit I have isn't bad at all. However, the hose on the right console isn't fully cast. I am also missing the throttle. It is still far better than the kit plastic. For 15 bucks....... Edited May 7, 2014 by Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 I forgot to ask, this far as I can go, I need to borrow the fuselage halves to fit the ip and glare shield. I will send it back along with the resin set when finished. Thank in advance. Harold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
