Model_Monkey Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Thanks, fellas! Great questions. Elevator joint: the joint is still in design. There are different ways to do it and still meet printing requirements but I'd like to make it as prototypical as possible. In most wartime tailplanes photos, I've noticed that the elevator tabs are often set differentially (inner tabs slightly down, outer tabs slightly up). I may replicate this for added realism. Early dihedral tailplanes: yes, an early dihedral set will be made available too. :-) D Bellis, Kagemusha, D.B. Andrus and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Any suggestions for what decals on the Airscale instrument decal sheet might go here?

Model_Monkey Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Hi D, Valiant Wings' "The Bristol Beaufighter...", page 34, identifies those instruments as long range fuel gauges. Orders for cockpits keep coming (yay!). But much faster than I can print. It may take a couple weeks or so to print and ship your order. Thanks for your patience!. Cheers!

R Palimaka Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 What a happy thread! Very satisfied customers who have been waiting a long time for a very complete product to get their projects going, and a supplier who is in touch and engaged with the customers and what they want...and is very busy as a result! Doesn't get much better than that. Speaking of busy, I know you are working as fast and hard as you can, but any news on new 1/24 Mustang products? Or should I maybe start a new thread? Or should I just be patient? Richard Model_Monkey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Patience Richard, no doubt MM will start a new thread regards the Mustang stuff, I'm displaying Olympic standard patience waiting for the observers set, and late tails before buying the Mk.X cockpit so I can saw on shipping to Blighty, not to mention the KH Jag R Palimaka, Model_Monkey and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Got my TF Mk. X cockpit in today........... I must say Im impressed. You have to work VERY hard to see any striations, and the print quality is very high. The details are smaller and more crisp than most any resin AM I've seen. Well worth the asking price IMHO considering what you are getting. Will pop out a review soon...............

Model_Monkey Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Thanks so much, fellas! Please allow 2 weeks to print and ship your model. That will shorten considerably when an additional 3D printer arrives in June. Yes, Beaufighter designs have me consumed at the moment (in a very good way). I promise to get products for your 1/24 scale Airfix P-51 Mustangs out soon, probably early June. After that, I'll be working on some cockpits and other products for the classic Hasegawa 1/32 scale F6F-3/5 Hellcat and Boeing F4B-4. Research is complete for radiator ramps for the new-tool 1/32 scale Revell Spitfire Mk.IXc. Later this year, I'll be designing products for the classic Revell 1/28 scale Sopwith Camel and Fokker Dr.I Triplane, possibly the SPAD XIII, too. Cheers!

I've currently got both the Has F6F (for the Fuselage and tail planes) as well as the Trumpy F6F (for the wings) to make a Trumpegawa Hellcat - To me the best outcome to use both kits to achieve the best F6F you can make................. Barring of course if Tamiya-san doesn't announce one! D Bellis, Model_Monkey and D.B. Andrus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
