LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Great job so far Kevin! She's coming along nicely!! I really want to get this kit now - after seeing your build!! Cheers Alan You won't regret it, it's beautiful. The 'pit could use some extra details, but straight OOB, it still looks pretty spiffy. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 hey Kev, check the book I returned to you, it has a PE panel it too How odd, I recall that, but I could have sworn that it was Tony stuff. I'll check it out, Shawn, that's for sure. If nothing else, I'll certainly be able to use the belts. Out2gtcha and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I found some unused "stuff" In my Ki-61 kit box. I may just give the figure a go, as I really haven't painted a figure in a while now, and it can be kind of fun. mpk, Shaka HI and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 some G-Factor gear (I realize the Has stock gear is not bad, but with the SUPER long spindly gear of the George, I didnt want to take any chances) Sorry to hi-jack K2! Model on! So far, the kit doesn't seem to have much weight to it, so I'll probably pass on the gear, especially for $18.

LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 It looks like I may have lucked out again, as Montex makes masks for the very plane that I'm considering. How cool is that? mpk and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) So far, the kit doesn't seem to have much weight to it, so I'll probably pass on the gear, especially for $18. Yeah, I figured as much, but really wasnt sure how stable they were going to be. Oh well, Ive already ordered a set with the HGW belts and barrels, so we shall see........... I seemed to have justified it by realizing I spent WAY more on dinner last night than the cost of the gear, and Ill get to enjoy the gear much longer.

LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 I think they're great for those that want them, Brian, absolutely. With my budget however, I have to very seriously consider whether there's a genuine need for them or not. Oh, and I goofed, the Quickboost barrels I saw, are 1:48 scale. mpk and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, Im a day or so out from an escrow refund check from a recent mortgage re-fi, and I threw those considerations out temporarily.

Shaka HI Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Model Technologies/Waldron Products? Are they even in business? mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 Model Technologies/Waldron Products? Are they even in business? As far as I know, Model Technologies is long gone now, but I think some Waldron stocks are still available. I have a small collection of Model Technologies from way back, along with a fair amount of Waldron items, all 1:32 and 1:24.

LSP_K2 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well, another boo boo, compliments of yours truly. I never noticed (until after the cement had dried) that the scoop like gizmo behind the 'pit area, has four small ejector pin marks. My solution will be to just cut some .010 card to fill that area, but it would have been a lot easier/better to deal with them beforehand. mpk and Shaka HI 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just for the heck of it, after sanding out the major seams, I've gone ahead and test fitted the horizontals. Fit here is good, but not excellent, so some "adjusting" will be the order of the day. Shaka HI, Anthony in NZ, ShotMagnet and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Nice work so far, K2! Glad to see I'm not the only one who misses obvious things until it's too late. Kev LSP_K2 and mpk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
