Infinity Models SB2C-4 Helldiver update

[Dave Williams]

Just curious how you’re going to remove all that excess resin around those thin wing fold bulkheads without damaging them.

 

Also, so if all of this is extra, what are you getting with the base kit?  Just a basic SB2C shape with no weapons, closed bomb bay, and fixed wings?  I think the places selling the kit need to be clear about what you get and, more importantly, what you don’t get when you click on a buy link for a kit.

My guess is that we’re looking at printed masters for resin moulds.

 

Yes, some more clarity about versions would be good.

The bombs may be resin, but those wing folds are 3D printed.

What I’m suggesting is that silicone moulds might be made of the printed wing folds, to produce cast resin parts in HPH’s “wafer” style.

I am strangely unenthused by the prospect of this kit, even though WWII is my favourite period. I don't know why, maybe it just has a touch of the HpH's about it. Looks great in the box, costs a small fortune and goes together like a 2 million piece jigsaw that's been mixed with another 2 million piece jigsaw and then dipped in bleach for 24 hours to remove all trace of any graphics. The multiple additional sets for additional money suggest the base level of detail will be somewhat limited, otherwise why bother? Will this end up as a classic HpH type kit, bought in smallish number, built in very small numbers? I'll let others buy it first and build it, whilst I wait in the wings with all my natural cowardice to the fore.

Whoa..game changer.  Just found a set and ordered them as well.  Thanks for the heads up.

Can someone please share a website wheee this kit can be ordered?  Hph site is down, the Infinity Models site appears to be both down and only in CZ language. 
 

I have searched but can only find links to the older resin kit. 
 

Thanks

Patience? What's that? 

 

Impatience tends to happen when people get excited about something!  Look's like you have a winner here Mirek!

Touch of 'Murphy's Law' kicking in there Dave.

At least you have the DB version of the kit already!
