JMeyer Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Interesting how Jetmads has disabled commenting on their Fb page. I guess they don't want any comments about their print quality. Their business model works well for them: sell out the entire production run before the kit is even produced, so there are no pesky "test build" photos to turn people away. It's a shame, becuase otherwise they are very nice kits. As an aside: I've seen nobody except for myself start work on the recent X-3 Stiletto, and I think I know why!

Violator1991 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I am thankful as a modeler that Jetmads bring kits I have been waiting for years and the Thunderstreak is a favourite cold war jet of mine that I was complaining no other manufacturer cared to produce in 1/32. The addition of a Mk.7 weapon is just pleasing, I had two in mind but just placed a reservation for three kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Man, I sure would like to get one of these, but the price precludes me from going there . That and the fact that I have zero experience doing full resin kits, same thing that kept me away from the Draken. I used to see -84Fs fly into the local reserve base in the early 60s[ Youngstown Ohio]. I'm thinking they were from Mansfield, Ohio.

Mark_C Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hm. I could be wrong on this, but I think the only F-84Fs to carry nuclear bombs would have been the bare metal ones, and if so, that doesn't seem to work well with models having lots and lots of 3-D layer lines. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's bare metal or painted, you're gonna have to fix those lines. Or better yet, Jetmads could get their act together and print their kits properly. nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycling Guy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I would love this kit, but I’m seriously considering selling my Viggen because the resin just doesn’t line up. For the cost it shouldn’t take this much effort to produce this kit. CRAZY IVAN5 and JMeyer 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) I see the same old crowd gathering around for this one as well I have also reserved a copy but only a single kit. Its not a favorite of mine but cool enough to get a spot in a display cabinet. I really wish it was the RF-84 because that would almost complete the Royal Danish Air Force jet aircraft collection in 1/32 - and I would like to have all of them. I am pretty serious about making the jump into 3D printing and designing my own parts. I am a structural Engineer afterall but time available isnt even enough for building the kits in my stash..

I’m with you - I’m also an engineer with little time. I’m currently designing and printing more detailed landing gear bays for the Mirage 2000C rafju 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
