Funny, I was wondering the same yesterday. Last time I read, ETA was March ............... 2018 ! It is still announced as « future » release on their site. So hopefully, soon . In the meantime, I should focus on freeing some space in the stash Hubert

Vey good news indeed ! Let’s just hope it will not only be some camoed-with-swastikas schemes inside ... Hubert

If you used plastic cement, the joint will weaken after a stay in the freezer. Be careful, all the joints will weaken Hubert

Got some decals from Draw Decals. If you have not guessed I am not in camoed aircrafts by now ... I am missing some Dago Red decals. Greg forgot to include them in the first package, and they are on their way. So now I have a choice of a mildly modified P-51 D with Voodoo, or a more modified one with Dago Red (unless I do both, of course ). I also received an interesting package from China, but one "sprue" (technically not a "sprue", in fact) was missing. So you'll have to wait until I get the missing component to see it Hubert PS :and of course, I blame Tony for the Draw Decals' "investment"

I have to say there was something uniquely sleek in the design of the Victor Mk 1 and Vulcan Mk 1. It got worse with the Mk 2 versions of both. Hubert

Totally agree Ernie (but for the « I consider myself a halfway decent resin kit builder » : too strong for me, and too weak for you) Hubert

Will do ... soon , but probably not before next year Hunert

Well, the preserved Ki-84 certainly has horizontal tailplanes, like in the pics here ... https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Nakajima_Ki-84 Hubert

That stabiliser angle looks really weird ... You're sure about it ? Keep up the tempo, mate ! Hubert

Conituning to play with diminutive pieces of resin, and brass ... Hubert

This was discussed here two weeks ago Hubert

You guys put me to shame : some started, or resumed, but none finished ... I got my golfing back in line though, although far from a decent handicap, after a 25 years’ hiatus Hubert

Just plain incredible workmanship ! Extremely well done ! Hubert

Cool ! The Akatombo is a nice little kit ! Thank you all, and especially to Ernie for organising, and Joy’s « magic hand » Hubert

Phew ! At least, the poor overexploited animals (the deers) seem to have escaped and be free ! Animal Rights Activist Hubert () ( deer steak, rare ? .... yummie ! )

What I have read so far : it’s good for a « C » version although it has some parts for other variants like the « -5 ». But the IP is there only for the C, i.e. with part glass, part analogic instruments. The « glass » IP of the « -5 » is simply not there, and should be either scratchbuilt or wait for an AM cockpit. Biggest disappointment seems to be the lack of intake trunks, as on the previous F-5E kit. But overall it looks like a nice kit. And the chances you will get a 2000 from another manufacturer seem a lot smaller than WnW doing a French fighter, if you see what I mean Hubert

Well, guys, if you insist, let me show you what beautiful means ...

Well, I’d better resume the work on the #&@« /! cylinders’ heads of the R-985 I was working on 4 years ago, then (and of which you can get a glimpse of the renderings in the Beaver build thread) ... . I have the 3D printer for it, when the design is finished, btw Hubert

I’d say that compared to the Tamiya Spitfires, it is a Mk V ... Compared to the Revell Mk II, it is also a Mark V .... When I say « it is », I really meant « it is supposed to be », btw. Besides the comparisons above, there is not much to say for the kit ... Hubert

Looks fantastic. I wish I had 1/10 of your talent for painting. For once, we have a model that looks aged, sun-bleached and worn-out like the original, not like it’s borrowed a tartan from your country ! Tremendous result ! Hubert

Hubert

A hint. It's an uneven number ... A second hint : you have the kit, Harv. Hubert

F : yes 4 : no ... Hubert

Some teeny weeny parts to improve a resin cockpit ... The small switches rack in the middle on the extreme right was my fifth attempt and took me some 8 hours overall before I called myself happy . It's made of 14 components overall ... and I confirmed I have to improve my soldering skills And to think nobody will ever notice... Hubert PS: A special salute to the first who guesses which cockpit this is from

There is only one OV-10 IMHO, the A. Good that you found one, Harv. Hubert
