frank83 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Looking forward to seeing the review! I was undecided whether to place an order or not so that can quite help me and maybe some others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 It looks very probable I got one of the first releases if not the very first kit. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I need to do one in 1/48 (trying to build everything I worked on in the RNZAF to a constant scale). Keen to see yours, but quality is making me hesitant. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 As I wrote the printing quality stays the same whatever is the kit scale. So the smaller is the kit, the less detail you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchplanebuilder77 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I ordered my Orion in the 1/32 scale. I will build a P3C from the Dutch Navy. I'am in a little doubt of building a update 2 or a Cup version. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Hopefully, I should end the Orion review tomorrow. Even if it is possible to make something out of the LG legs, I'm considering making new ones and reproduce them in metal (lost wax technique). I just discussed with a jeweller. He's seriously considering casting metal from 2022. So I will assess that possibility next year. Wait and see.

thierry laurent Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Review done! 8 pages of text and around 65 pictures. I had to stop somewhere as reviewing such a garage kit of a large airframe that is serving for more than fifty years is somewhat...challenging and I did not want to allocate most of my holidays to the exercise! Moreover, taking the pictures was a nightmare as I wanted to take them as much as possible in normal daylight but the winter sun was not very collaborative and many parts were so huge this became more complicated than I considered. At least I did it as promised and it will help the others to do the choice to jump... or not! Next ones will be the AIMS sets.

thierry laurent Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I just sent the files to Kevin. He will put them on the website when possible. So you need to be a little bit patient. This will be announced on the LSP home page. LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander and dutchplanebuilder77 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buuuuut I will let him away with it LOL It's an impressive kit thats for sure. Quite big, but REALLY pleased to get one! I must stay focused on the Phantom..... Thanks to everyone who put their names down for one. You wont be disappointed when you see it. Lot of work, but will be worth it!
