  1. I would be interested in the details of this book. Please drop me a message when I is published. Thank you. Craig
  2. Wow, love your build. They look perfect together.
  3. Thank you for pointing that out. I checked the linked YouTube video and interestingly, the all the other posters videos all feature GWH products. I didn't need a GWH A-10 anyway.
  4. FineMolds released news of missing parts tree "E" on their F-15C release. Use your favourite translator, but from what I read, customers to contact FineMolds to get the missing parts tree sent to them. Their office is closed for customer inquiries until January 9th. https://finemolds.co.jp/F-15C_Eparts.html And here is the missing tree "E"
  5. Already a number of releases, but wondering if the larger tail TA152 will come soon. Ooops, just read the previous post.
  6. I will try to answer your questions the best I can. - There is a good chance Messerschmitt used the same design principles from their later 109 series as on the 410 for the radiator flaps operation. Which if I remember correctly used temp sensors to determine the opening. Now you have me checking their operation. - The horizontal tail section has elevators that are drooping. Many aircraft had gust locks to keep damaging gusty winds from moving the flight controls when static on the ground. Two gust locks I am familiar with are blocks that fit on the actual flight controls themselves or a device for the controls in the cockpit. - Normally the leading edge slats would be extended on the ground but keep in mind there is nothing normal when talking about aircraft, especially in wartime. I hope this helps. Waiting for my kit on it's way from Hannants via Royal Mail.
  7. @Sabrejet could confirm, the term "spring loaded" does not imply there are any springs involved. Simply airload pushing them closed and gravity, G force, lack of airflow or angle of attack, allowing them to depoly.
  8. My just completed car kit, a diversion from the usual aircraft with the challenge of a gloss finish. No clear coat, just polishing. Quite nice details and definitely recommend it. Only the side windows cut out as a deviation from the instructions. My knowledge of Porsches and the 911 was pretty much zero before this build.
  9. Thank you @Roel_D. In the link, at the bottom is also an accessory, NA16, for the formation and chaff/flare parts. In the instructions for NA16, it specifies parts USAF F-15s. So lets hope more releases will follow. The parts and the built up model look mouth watering, interesting to see comparisons to the other 72nd Eagle kits already available.
  10. Beautiful airbrush work to make this a winner.
  11. Beautiful work you've done on still one of the best F-5 kits.
  12. I spent a few short years working on the CF-5, and we had a small number of Recce noses that could be swapped, and once mounted the aircraft usually had it left on for several months. Since not a permanent installation we just called it a recce bird for quick ID. The cameras were pointed downward and to my knowledge couldn't be used for air-to-air shots. @Giorgio N , thank you for reminding of this great kit by ESCI. Good luck.
  13. From @finemolds_news on Twitter. 先日テストショットをアップしたF-15垂直尾翼。 基部と一体パーツになっており、基部に実機通りのパネルラインはありますが段差はございません また初期仕様とJMSIPとで細部の違いも再現しています ちな4枚目の写真の実機通り十字で“ない”パネルラインが、個人的にはツボです Translated from Japanese by Google "The F-15 vertical tail that I uploaded a test shot the other day. It is an integral part with the base, and there is a panel line on the base just like the actual machine, but there is no step. In addition, the differences in details between the initial specifications and JMSIP are also reproduced. In the 4th photo, the panel line that is "not" a cross like the actual machine is a key point for me personally" I do like how the vertical tail is attached to the fuselage, an improvement over the Hasegawa.
