denders Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) I've been a long time lurker (years). Now that I'm retired and things have settled and I have a modeling area again, so, I thought I would join in. I'm not going to get too carried away but there's a set of Aries Seats coming too. This thing is big! I've wanted to build one of these since Trumpeter released it, so now was the time.

ade rowlands Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Will follow. I'm tempted by the Thud myself. Cant decide between D or G though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BradG Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I do like a good thud. Shame I never got to see one fly, they were retired before I was born! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denders Posted March 30, 2020 Author Share Posted March 30, 2020 Thanks folks! I've been looking for a review or something that describes what the GTR resin fin, rudder, etc. parts correct. Or more like what is wrong with the Trumpeter plastic. My google foo has not been successful. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackbetty Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 the nose is too pointy and the fin is wrong in chord in the kit. i have seen kits oob, but with the corrections it looks way more like a Thud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denders Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 Okay, I found comments by Thierry Laurent and I've ordered the GTR resin set. And I found Squadron had a great price for the Avionix Wheel set. And the Aries Ejection Seat set has arrived. Now to get to work.

themongoose Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Running a little behind...took these yesterday morning so figured I’d post so you get another idea of the change. This is what came in the B conversion... daveculp, Greg W, BradG and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 A heads upon the AM resin nose replacement. I've disappointedly discovered the resin nose profile (at least the one I have) doesn't match the profile of the forward fuselage. Joining the two results in an odd transitional profile. There is/was a pic of this issue on a LSP build, but I can't seem to find it now. I'm dealing with this issue currently on my 105F build. If I could have a do over, I'd use the kit nose. For my 105D build, the only resin I'll being using is on it are a seat and the ventral fin. Anything else not worth the hassle IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
