Dragon Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Chuck, Thanks for starting this AM inquiry! It’s helped me identify what I should get for my build. Looking forward to your build of this kit! Mike chuck540z3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthumbs Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Chuck, If it’s still within your budget and you’re brave enough to take on the raised rivet effect for the fuselage, perhaps stock up on a supply of Archer (or similar) surface details.

Quite impressive and I'm glad to see what some of the stuff I've ordered already will look like. One thing that strikes me is why did the modeler go to such great lengths to add all that interior detail behind the cockpit and add a scratch built fuel tank under the cockpit, only to seal everything up so that you can never see any of it again? I've done similar things by accident, but never on purpose. Cheers, Chuck Paul in Napier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I've got plenty of Archer rivets already and was planning on adding quite a few, but certainly not to the entire fuselage . After my CF-104 build I need a bit of a break from decal rivets!

I guess I'll need to figure out a subject first before I decide, but one thing that is certain is that it will be American and weathered. If anybody knows of something I've missed that's worthwhile, please let me know! Cheers, Chuck Chuck, Pictures on my WIP but there were variations in the way barrels protruded. The outboard could protrude or be flush. Never figured it out, but might save you some on 2 barrels? chuck540z3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really considered the -5 as a purchase, but I'd grab a -3 in a New York minute. Yes, I very much agree. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I ordered the Aerocraft gear legs and doors this morning too....along with the rest of the stuff I posted here. If a -3 conversion does come out I'm on it! I ordered the early -5 conversion from Aerocraft with the MINSI III decals but was thinking if somebody did masks /decals for a post war orange drone that might look pretty good till the -3 variant appears. As soon as Chuck glues the first 2 pieces together you know Airfix will release it! Cheers....Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Is the ANYZ engine detail set still available? I know it had gone away for a short period, wasn't sure if it was back in stock. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
