Hi Tim

 

Would love to do a st, however I sold my P-38 and have no donor parts. If you, or anyone else is interested in donating parts..........we can then put them in the queue.  ;)

 

Cheers,

 

D.B.

I would happily do so, but it sounds like you have it covered already, correct?

yep, excellent news indeed!  Especially the Avenger and Dauntless ones!  Cant wait.  Might we get a set for the Tamiya Corsair or Mustang? Or more importantly the Hasegawa P-40?  I can donate parts for them....especially the P-40

 

Cheers Anthony

 

Hi Anthony

 

I have the P-40 in the stash, so it's now added to the list. I don't have tha Tamiya P-51 or the Corsair. The Corsair kit legs look to be overly compressed to me. What do you think?

 

Cheers,

D.B.

We have just added the Revell Spitfire I to the to-do list. I have the kit in the stash.

super cool

 

the Revell Spit MkI/II is crying out for proper gear, so I hope that comes out soon!

 

one question though: the Fw190 stainless steel section looks suuuuuper long - sure that’s correct?

 

i remember lots of noise when these kits came out, and many people said the oleos should be more ‘compressed’

 

thoughts?

excellent news about the P-40!!

 

Interesting comment about those Corsair legs...I wondered myself.  I will look into it...

Hi

 

I'm following the kit patterns on the oleos. The Revell oleo measures at a nominal .429 in/10.9 mm. The Hasegawa  .454 in/11.54 in.

The apparent length can be adjusted somewhat by painting a bit of the oleo at the bottom if you want it to look shorter. 

 

Cheers,

D.B.

Hi D.B. - this is a great idea and one I shall avail myself of very shortly.

 

From what I've seen so far you look like you are concentrating on WW II fighters - any chance you would add TF/F 104 gear to you 'to do list'?

 

Regards,

 

Steve S.
