Dave Yep, it's a beautiful aircraft. You can see the lineage with the Mossie. Many were impressed into service in WWII, so plenty of wartime camo finishes could be applied.

DeanKB Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I can do injection moulded, short run & resin. Vac formed is way, way beyond my puny skills and I have nothing but admiration for the guys who make these models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andromeda673 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 i'm out on vac formed as well, hell resin scares me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunwinglow Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 What Jennings said. Give a vacfom a go. I might be complete rubbish. But then again, it might not! Where there is a will, there is a way.You might find your view changes, from 'I couldn't possibly do one of those', to ' I'll have a go at one of those', to 'Oh, actually that wasn't so hard', to 'Hm, I can see how that could be a bit better'.... and before you know it you are making your own masters, your own vacform parts, your own canopies, your own castings, your own 3D CAD designs, your own 3D printed parts, your own decals.... Go on! You never know..... Tim Zero77, AlexM and Derek B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I guess it all depends on the vac kit itself. Ive seen some great ones, and thought to myself, "awesome! That looks like something I could handle"................... Then again, I pull out something like my CM 32nd F7F, and look at the "75 grit" sandpaper looking molding, the horrible trenches for panel lines (not actually seen trenches this deep that were also WAVY lines as well!) the worse/softest detailed clear vac canopy Ive ever seen, the metal polls (LITERALLY) representing the complex T-Cat gear, and thought............. "NOPE." And immediately put it away, saving the awesome 3 view plans for yet another gander. I will maybe one day turn her into a What_If Reno racer, but still this contradicts my most basic of modeling philosophies: I have precious little modeling time with a full time job as an IT Engineer, and Ill be damned if Im going to spend the little time I do get at the bench fighting with a kit when I could actually be doing something enjoyable modeling related.

Out2gtcha Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Indeed the exact two vac companies I was receding to. Having a look at my CM F7F then looking at my brother's Dynavector Skyshark, it was literally 180 deg difference; indeed night and day.

DeanKB Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Try one. You might be surprised. I've really not got the determination, imagination, patience, or the range of modelling skills needed to do a vac. There just seems to be no "simple" bits, no little wins as you move on, no "easy" bits to do after completing a difficult section. It all looks difficult & risky! The thought of scratch building pretty much everything scares the bejesus out of me. That's why I admire those who produce stunning models out of pressed plastic forms - I always admire those who manage to do what I find so difficult. Which is a very, very long list. And getting longer as I get older. I've just not got the attention span. I'm a lazy modeller! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of scratch building pretty much everything scares the bejesus out of me. Oddly enough, for me, that is exactly the appeal. Some people jump out of perfectly good airplanes or swim with sharks. The challenge of "how the hell am I gonna do that?" gets my creative juices flowing all the time. And, when you do solve the problem, there is a feeling of satisfaction that is hard to beat. Plus, you can have something no one else on the block has. Try it!!

AlexM Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Try one. You might be surprised. I concur! It's a great experience, and you will learn a lot that can be applied to "normal" injection mould kits. coming very soon Gannet Do-17 In development Tigercat ... Great news! This should please many people here Cheers Alex Out2gtcha and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I'm still struggling with the radome for the vacform Su-15TM. The fuselage should move along more quickly, the theory goes. It will progress, but these flat-pack kits without fasteners are about ten times the work of IM goodies. I am, however, firmly convinced they have a valid place as conversions, or where there exists off-the-shelf parts to oil the cogs of progress, be it seats, engines, wheels, scoops or *just about anything* to help move things along. There's just so much really good stuff out there in IM form that's so much easier to make that you have to absolutely love the vacform subject and have a big wallet for plastruct/evergreen styrene sheet, rod and whot-not. If/when I design decals, etch and master essential parts for duplication in resin to go with the Flagon it'll likely cost £120+ for a prospective £180 turkey.

Menelaos Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 That thing is ugly enough in 1/72. It would send children running to their mothers in abject terror in 1/32. Not called "The Tub" for nothing haha..! yes it was ugly but most exeptional!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
