TimW Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Going to need different pitot tubes. The a/c I'm doing had the smaller ones, lower on the fuselage instead of the big antlers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hannants is showing Eduard Big-Ed EBIG33102 "B-24 PART" listed as a future release in late June/early July. Interesting as its listed as "PART". Might this be the Eduard turrets we've been waiting for? There's nothing listed on their website as of yet that I can find. - Dennis S.

I wonder what Eduard has planned for turrets, if it will be a re-hash of the OOB turrets only non-frosted, or a fully more accurate turret? Either way, it would seem that the clear parts would be resin and not vac, which would be welcome for a lot of people. Personally, I dont mind clear vac myself but if I had my druthers, I would take clear resin most every time. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some media I just don't have much luck with. Using kits parts for now (the A6 turrets fore and aft). Tim W. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Eduard have confirmed they are *not* and I repeat *not* doing replacement clear parts for the turrets It's s***y kit parts which are just not fixable to a standard that bears close scrutiny in my view (no matter how impressive the kit is when viewed from a few feet away), marginally less s***y vac, or wait for Aeroscale to get the clear resin right...and that's it. Perhaps someone can persuade Pastor John at AIMS to have a go, given he has managed to do a 109 Graf special canopy in clear resin? Anyway, sorry to rain on the 'Eduard will save the day' parade, but I did ask them and they said no interest. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Ali at Aerocraft is working on them - I sent him the kit parts to use - there's no point in encouraging anyone else to produce clear resin versions, better, no matter how hard , to display a bit of patience. nmayhew, Out2gtcha and Artful69 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis7423 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I'm curious if there is much of a market for a manufacturer, like Eduard for example, to make injection-molded replacement parts for a kit? They make resin and photoetch for other kits, so why not venture into some injection molded stuff for other kits? I have no idea if its feasible or not. As a side note, has anyone seen Eduard market something as "Eduard PART" before? I couldn't find any other listings like that. The have Look, Big-Ed, Brassin, etc, but I have never seen PART before. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Artful69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, the 109E replacement gear is superb (including the wafer thin replacement cowls) I believe the other stuff was just as popular. I've often wondered the same thing with IM ... Maybe a short run set up? ... Some straight out corrected pieces ... Some simple conversion stuff ... Just a couple of kits that spring to mind are the HKM Mosquito and B-17 as well as the HB P-61 and B-24 Things that would be really expensive in highly detailed resin ... but maybe demand might equate to short run IM?? The purchase of a $300-$400 kit has to be niche rather than mainstream ... and if it is - it's more likely that recipients would want to create an accurate rendition.
