Shoggz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Spotted this on Hannants - they had one in stock, so I snapped it up. It's a book I've wanted for a while and fortuitous as I'm building one currently! Uncarina, MikeC, TankBuster and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have gobs of Thunderbolt references, including this book, which is pretty spiffy. Shoggz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treker_ed Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Splashed out on Sunday for the 2024 Airfix club kit package, and subsequently got members discount on a 1/48 Buccaneer! Along with a substantial amount of Hornby hobby points I'd accumulated, I managed to get the price of the kit (not including the club renewal which I would have done anyway!) for a shade over £35.... Quite a good price I think. I have to say the two kits included in this year's package are quite nice. PR XIX Spitfire, and MKIb Typhoon, all decked in D-Day markings. I think they will get done quite soon. Shoggz, Uncarina, coogrfan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutik Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Added some smaller stuff to my collection, but still LSP Made by @upor This is a really small aircraft, especially considering the range and the heavy gun armament (4x23mm!). BTW, we have a review of this kit online here at LSP, showing all the beautiful parts inside the box. @BiggTim is bringing us back the AMS line of resin AM sets. Ordered and recieved an early F-5 seat as well as this one: Mig-17 cockpit. Wel cast, nothing bent, no damages during s&h overseas. If you are looking for a Mig-17 cockpit too: The "early" set is your plain vanilla Mig-17 and Mig-17F set. The "late" set features the radar screen at the upper right of the dashboard, uset for the radar equipped "big lip" Mig-17P and -PF (gun armament) and -PM (guided AA missle armament) variants. You have to add here your own large rubber hood over the radar screen. Cockpit looks very nice. Much better than the kit parts, also better than only using Eduards PE set.

Stokey Pete Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I don’t know if it will induce feelings of jealousy, but it’s aviation related all the same. My recent lack of modelling has been caused by a trip into the rabbit hole that is DCS World. Specifically, Flying the Viper, and the Hornet. I decided to treat myself to a new IP setup from Winwing. Their up front control replica, and some replica DDI panels. I’ll be adding LCD screens to them in the future. I plan to swap the triple monitor setup for a widescreen curved panel too.

I've been told that jet cockpits are much more cramped, but this one looks very comfy. It features even drawers and a carpet floor. Jet pilots are riding in classes, eh? Nice setup Regards - dutik Stokey Pete, Rick Griewski, LSP_K2 and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a friends Pimax Crystal on a 4090GTX gpu and it completely blew my mind. The visuals are incredible. I barley reach the recommended specs to operate it at around 35-50fps dutik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I barley reach the recommended specs to operate it at around 35-50fps The Multi Threaded version really improved framerates for me even before I went all in on a 4090. However a 4090 with DLSS will bring a solid 60-70 fps with highest settings even in VR. Its pretty unbelievable. It really unlocks the potential that I feel i have been waiting almost 10 years to see with DCS Stokey Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
