Rick Griewski 3,761 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Looking forward to the early 2018 Whirlwind release Peter Hmmm... Maybe I will pull out my ID Models vacuum formed kit and (pretend to) work on it feverishly. The little swine is quite far along with all the really ugly areas purged and repaired. Maybe work on the cockpit will tip the cosmic Murphy's balance. Rick Link to post Share on other sites

Zero77 7,791 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 What's that yellow stuff on the moulds? Burnt releasing agent? Link to post Share on other sites
Hubert Boillot 5,719 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sweet! Im not understanding why the molds seem to have the odd upper and lower square-ish parts on the fuselage where the canopy should be, and where the wings go These are actually the « plugs » that will be matched by the other half of the mould, and prevent the openings to be filled by the injected styrene. Mold technology sometimes require some imagination to « see » the molded part from a half mold cavity ... What's that yellow stuff on the moulds? Burnt releasing agent? I would probably bet on traces of spark-erosion electrolyte ... unless, as they use short-run type of molds in a softer metal than steel, this is the release agent from pouring this metal on the master ... As for the subject, one of the very few that would have me forget my « no-camo » choices ... Hubert RLWP 1 Link to post Share on other sites
alaninaustria 5,800 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Great, nice to see some progress! I will be up for one of these for sure! It's really good to see some *exotics* getting produced! I guess SH will tackle the Typhoon and SeaFury after this bird hits the market!! Wow, some really interesting subjects coming our way!
