Sabrejet Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Mine's not on the way. I didn't order one but it looks nice. Just thought I'd post some white noise to a thread which is mainly white noise.

Same here, thank you so much Gaz! That was a fantastic look in the box and well worth the wait.

I contacted the team a few days ago - Richard very kindly replied but unfortunately explained there were only enough prints available for the pre-orders. However a very kind member of this forum has offered to send me a spare from their order!!

Gazzas Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 So.... eh... I didn't want to buy any AM for this kit. The only thing I've found that I might change is the single-piece tail wheel and gear. It's a tiny little thing... What kind of AM tailwheels are there for this early version? The piece is nice, don't get me wrong. But it's still only 1 piece. My local go-to BNA doesn't seem to have much. Just another piece of info for you guys... the rudder pedals and rudder itself, and rudder trim tab are molded angled to the side. And the elevators are angled, too. All easily changable, with some modelling I suppose. But quite unexpected.

europapete Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hmm....double check wartime photo's Gaz, maybe that's how most were parked?? ( Still need to buy the Wing Leader books) Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geedubelyer Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Interesting detail. Is the rudder affected by side winds when parked? I've seen pics of modern jets with their rudders deflected through side wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen pics of modern jets with their rudders deflected through side wind. The rudder pedals are uneven... one foot is more forward than the other... so, it was meant to be parked that way by those who designed the kit. geedubelyer, Tolga ULGUR and MikeC 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Griewski Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I hope my kit arrives soon and so does my wife… then I will stop talking about it. The tape together by Gazzas is too exciting for me I would guess Scotsman, Pup7309, Gazzas and 3 others 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it would be a color related to the rest of the pit, but that is my ignorance not criticism and me wanting to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
