JohnB Posted June 18, 2020 Posted June 18, 2020 Now that I'm taking a little time off from the P-63C I'm thinking this will be just what the doctor ordered. 12

Expand Thanks Phil. Yes, buttoned up tight. The removable panels are too gimmicky for my tastes. I either button 'em up or leave 'em off altogether. 7
Sturmbock Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Hi John! I have wanted to build the Mk XVI for a long time, but I always avoided it! I will watch with interest! Lutz 5
CrankyCrafstman Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Hey John Check out the Rexx exhausts they are really a great upgrade for this kit. They are abit delicate but perfection comes with a price...lol Ron G 5

Expand Do you insist on a conversion for the Tamiya or would a (fantastic) resin conversion for the PCM Mk.IXc fit the bill? Apologies for highjacking your thread JohnB. 4
nmayhew Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 depends on how confident you are with your skills I suppose?! I have the set mastered by Radu Brinzan and it looks pretty sharp up close, but not sure my skills could mate it with anything and it not be obvious it was a hack job hence i will be using the cheap as chips Revel IX! 5
JohnB Posted June 20, 2020 Author Posted June 20, 2020 Why don't you guys just PM each other? Much appreciated. 4
