That would make it! Maybe thingyverse has a couple of files of them to print

No, not yet, I am also waiting on it. Marcus

Is there a way to have to the VAT removed to ship outside EU? Even when I put in my NZ address it bills at the VAT inclusive price. Thanks

The F-35 has been in combat in Afghanistan with the US Marines. The US Airforce has taken their F-35A into combat in Iraq and Syria. Israel of course was using it back in 18. Twin internal GBU and twin internal AIM-120 are normal load https://www.stripes.com/news/us/pentagon-purchases-hundreds-more-f-35s-as-military-misses-its-combat-readiness-goal-for-the-jets-1.605093 There are photos of beast mode load for a combat mission. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/f-35s-flex-in-beast-mode-on-middle-east-mission-2019-5?r=US&IR=T A high impact stand off load would be internal carriage of 8 internal Small Diameter Bombs in 2 pallets & twin AIM-120 (1 pallet of 4 SDB & 1 AIM-120 per internal weapons bay). Below is old article, I don't believe it is in service w/ F-35 yet, other platforms do deliver it. https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/defense/2014-07-16/raytheon-sdb-ii-f-15e-and-f-35-nears-low-rate-production Marcus

Please do not troll. Meng sells licensed F-35 and P-51 Mustang kits. Also the Jagdpanther was done through Bovington and the boxes all acknowledge this. PJ is not a shyster, if he was to sell or lease rights to a mould to keep the books in order he will do it legally and above board. They are both high end operations, no need to bring in any suppositions. Marcus

I was having just this conversation just the other night with a friend who has similar problems with the salt not coming off completely. The answer was simply to wash it several times in warm water with a little detergent. Every day for a five days and then when repainted the salt did not bleed through. Your doing a great job on a good kit, I continue to enjoy your build log, well done.

Just read through the thread, an excellent build/guide and a well set out thread, fantastic. Thanks

Prototype looks great, I will be in line for the production model!

1/32 for the win!!

Depends on just how close you want to be but an aftermarket seat for the US AV-8A or -8B Harrier could be suitable for your needs as they used versions of the Stencel seat. Marcus

... and the 787B in the right colours, sweet! Marcus

Epic!!

I stand to be corrected but my understanding is that there is a precoloured rubberised coating applied to the radome. So it never needs painting /repainting. The rubber picks up dirt and doesn't release as readily when washed so from day 1 it discolours at a different rate to the airframe. Marcus

On The Bench podcast, episode 27, Available on iTunes, Stitcher and their own OTB website. No sectrets come out but it's a good listen.

Epic.!!

What a funny thing to say, Especially considering many of us have read the biographies on him ☺

Aires and Brassin, my preference is Brassin. Both make specific nozzles for Hasegawa. The difference lays in the donut piece, the rest of the aftermarket parts are usually the same.

http://www.sealmodel.com/product_details.php?category_id=117&item_id=800 Mr Color J.A.S.D.F Oceanic Camouflage set CS665 C374 Shallow ocean blue is FS35109 C375 Deep ocean blue is FS35045 If you use the Google translate APP you read this sentence, . . .but in actual machines, it got an impression with slightly high saturation, and it is mattered aiming for low visibility. So maybe it behaves a little like the US Have glass paint and can look a little different based on lighting and viewing angle. If you use Sealmodel their surface freight takes a while but my packages arrive safe and sound every time. I spray Mr Color with their own surfacing thinner and find it constantly great.

The poll states we have 3 committed souls who have purchased the entire range. With 8 more boxings to be released before mid year, if your wives catch you at it, we will be committing your souls!

Right you are. I think production problems are less likely than IT though. 'If' the Camel were to be available from mid Feb, say. Seafreight to Europe is what? Six weeks including customs to the Netherlands warehouse? They would have had to be on the water before Christmas. Of course that is just my opinion, . . .

It is summer break here in NZ. Most people will be back at work from the 16th. So who knows but the IT contractors may still be holidaying with the kids at the beach. I would rather be.

Great work thus far. I am liking it. Great subject. Looking forward to your treatment of the IP. Before today I have chopped an Eduard etch piece and mated it into the Tamiya dash. Happy to copy off you for my next build. Marcus

Remember the ELTA-8222 jammer on the front right Sparrow well. If they are not going in loud with AIM-7 & -9 they are bound to be jamming

Many a time I have fallen asleep in my pit, to the lilting song of the damn thing beating the air into submission as the deck repels the heathen contraption after the chains were released. It's one of those kits, I will get it and do whatever is required to make it like one we had on board. Maverick with the blue stripes and all. looking forward to it .

F4H-1. Falcon do the conversion and second hand they are the same price as fish and chips. or if you are a city dweller , coffee and a bagel .
