thierry laurent Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 At last!!! I proposed that topic years ago to two decal producers. One was not interested and the other delayed eternally such a release. On the other side Furball had released a marvellous sheet in 1/48th. Unfortunately they are not really focusing on large scale to say the least... However, at last, they decided to enlarge it to release it soon in 1/32! Time will tell but I'm ready to bet they will quickly sell them. Yepeeee! phasephantomphixer, zerosystem, Zola25 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would release more of their stuff in 1/32 - We could really use some of those Super Hornet and Growler "Anthologies" /Niels Edited February 23 by Zola25 Kagemusha and Isar 30/07 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony T Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I've got c1972 era VA-55 Warhorses mkgs scheduled for my A-4F, but would love a reprint of Eli's F-4J Zotz sheet 32-075: https://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=1680 Tony LSP_K2, Mebo and thierry laurent 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - there are some pretty cool Growlers out there but hardly anything is available in 1/32. I actually bought one of their sets in 1/48 thinking I would make some paint masks from them in 1/32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Sweet, my “Hometown” squadron, the now defunct VMA-322 gets some love in both A-4E and TA-4J versions. Now to figure out if there are any decent A-4E kits out there. zerosystem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to figure out if there are any decent A-4E kits out there. The Trumpeter kit is globally Ok. Various small stupid things to correct here and there (too short rudder, too thick vortex generators and items to remove on the nose) but not a big deal except the LG. However, there is a very nice Aires set correcting that. Add a resin seat or cockpit and you get a quite good replica. Obviously you can go further with things such as improved pylons, more detailed exhaust, vortex generators, corrected windshield or better weapons.

The thought of trying to sand them down to a more realistic thickness makes my head throb. Wasn't someone else working on a large scale Scooter?

Actually this is not that difficult if you do this by batch with a square section jeweller file. Moreover Eduard and Reskit released corrected ones. So there is even a plan B in case of failure. Alas, I did not hear anything about a new kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Zero, can’t remember if you are a local guy or not but if you’re interested in NAS SoWey, there are a couple of FB pages which have lots of awesome pics. Worth checking out. I was thinking the same thing about doing a Mike since it sounded like someone was working on a new tool kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
