6 cylinders for 250 cc … They DO love designing engines at Honda 🥰 … Nice wok, Rob Hubert

Well, when I thought my year was made with the Lukgraph J2F-5 and the release of the Draken by Jetmads, it seems there will be more to the attack on my wallet … Technikit have announced they will release a 3D-printed 1/32 Mirage IV ! https://www.tecnikit.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=page&id=31&language=en Hubert

If this is what your religion calls « a couple » … Well, as long as Sue agrees …🥴 Hubert

Assuming it’ s empty to begin with 🤔 … 5 minutes ? Hubert

Now, who is going to model the Border 1/32 Lancaster with engine visible and the flowery apron to cover it ? Hubert

Now, THAT looked like a verious serious emergency 😉 ! Hubert

😮 Hubert

Your restraint is laudable, Carl …. but what a waste of boot volume ! Hubert

Funny you went for more flexible resin for the slats. I went the opposite fir the slats of my Cutlass, with a rigid resin. The reason is that the ones I printed a few weeks ago warped badly and took a banana shape 🙁 … Hopefully my slats will stay straight, as I will be gluing them shortly. Looking forward to see the painting start. Hubert

Looking fantastic, Rob ! Hubert

Do USPS know which version and application date of the tariffs are effective ? Hubert

You did not recognise George Bush, Martin ? The likelihood is - well, almost - there nevertheless 😳 ! Hubert

Lovely Thunderjet, Kevin. Makes me want to pull my 1/32 kit up the « stash-decrease » (who am I fooling 🙄 ?) list. Hubert

If you’re into large scale iconic cars, I have seen that Italeri just released a 1/12 Bugatti 35 B. The only difficulty will to reproduce the corked aluminium look of the engine block, a staple feature of the Bugatti engines 😉 … Hubert

That Norton is just amazing … What is your printer ? Hubert

It’s amazing that this flies at all, without wings and engine 😲 ! As you say, technological progress is beyond the understanding of us, old men …😉 Hubert Hubert

Too bad about the bonnet fit when hinged … But she is still a spectacular beauty, and your workmanship shows throughout … You should really be proud about it, Rob, despite this last fight she put up for you 👍 Hubert

The answer to that is definitely "yes". I read ZM are working on a "true" -B version, based on period drawings, and designed by Radu Brinzan, which in itself is a sign of great accuracy - in as far as being acuurate is a relevant term for a paper aircraft -. The -B version will have a totally different "nose", with revised intakes, etc. Hubert.

The forthcoming ZM « B », designed by Radu Brinzan … Hubert

Great save, John ! Hubert

Happy for you guys. As far as I am concerned, Lukgraph and the pending releaase of the Draken by Jetmads have made my year ... Hubert

Looking fantastic ! Nothing like a plate of spaghettis after a hard day’s work 😋 ! Hubert

You have a lot of different resins used for 3D-printing. Some are said to be « ABS-like », although they are most likely not ABS. CERTAINLY NOT polystyrene anyway. You must use CA or epoxy to assemble them. Hubert

Now that is THE great news of the decade, as far as I am concerned ! Hubert

Chris, The ones I mentioned yo can buy with some confidence (the assembly of the engine / cowling area of the Kingfisher is still better suited for an octopus though) As for the F-86 D or K; as Scott mentionned, it's the only game in town, so if you want it badly ... but brace yourself for some annoying issues.
