Gentlemen, Appreciate the input on this. Some nice setups! Its given me some things to consider! Again, thanks a lot !!!!!
-
I am finally forced to admit that the paint bottle situation has become a nightmare. I wanted to move to the rack systems as it looks the best for a modular ability. Now I have Mig, Mission Models and a few other mfg.'s bottles, so looking at what, 1 3/8" through 25mm or so. Question is, looking for advise from those who have these organizers. What mfg.'s have the best products. The laser cut ones seem to be the best route as they look sturdy enough without the cost. Appreciate any info on this ......

Ordered a set of masks from Kitlinx, waited a week and heard nothing. Sent an E mail for info and heard nothing. Started getting a bad feel for this and went on line to see what was being said and came up with a lot of negative notices about this outfit. I am going to assume my money is lost and would suggest staying away from this company!! https://www.bbb.org/us/ut/sandy/profile/model-supplies/kitlinx-llc-1166-90024059/complaints

P-40 B gun mounting in the nose.......
swede replied to swede's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Excellent photos and drawings from both of you gentlemen!!!! With those I have been able to make a pair of supports out of P/E material. I really appreciate this. I saw in the instructions for the GWH -40 that they do include those supports! Still can't accept that being available for the cost. Have a great day guys.......again thanks!!!!! -
P-40 B gun mounting in the nose.......

Looked in numerous places for the answer to this ........I need either photos or good line drawings for the mounting/supports of the extended barrels through the front of the cowling. I found one photo that appeared to show 2 O ring bolts approximately where the front of the cowling would mount and could be part of the system. No way to see for sure or tell how and where there the O ring bolts would be mounted. I would really appreciate any help or advise with this!! Swede

Considering doing a plain jane P-40B painted and marked out as Welch's A/C at Pearl Harbor in 1/32nd. I looked around and haven't had any luck finding the decal sets for this A/C. Am I missing something or are there few if any sets for this A/C? Any info or advise will be appreciated!! Swede .........

Kevin, its Eduard but for a newer kit I'm sure. The Eduard XL-022 is discontinued. I was hoping I could avoid hand cutting and liquid mask but its what happens when you reach WAY back in the stash pile!!....:) Appreciate you guys getting back to me on this!!! Jennings, went through a number of your articles on the -262............
-
OK, I give up! I have a -262 mask set for the model in my stash. Surprise, it does not begin to be the proper size. While it is marked as "Me-262", there is no specification for the make of the model. I have seen them for Trump, Revell, etc. but nothing specific for the Hasegawa. Is there a set for, Hasegawa Me-262A ? Any info appreciated! I noticed the set I have also does not have the straight line oblong front windscreen, it seems to have a curved bottom?
-
Well, thanks for all the info!!! It looks like Great Wall may have done what should have been done way back! The idea of a full mold upper wing could never have been that difficult to produce! The build might have been a bit fiddly with the old molds but the machines have been up to the ability to do this for a good while. I would grab now if not for the already stated delivery times and the problems already occurring for China products setting off the West Coast. I do want this kit, I only hope to live long enough to receive one.

Considering doing an early (B/C) P-40 but it seems that the companies producing the kits seem to want a flat separate floor instead of the curved floor and curved sidewalls. Has there been a kits actually having this in the design? Preferably 1/32nd scale.............appreciate any info on this .........
-
Looked around and haven't found any as of yet. Anyone know where I can look??? 'Preciate any info ........
