Bobski, As I've posted in the Hyperscale jet forum (in reply to my friend, Mike V) these seventy year-old eyes have taken an even further look at the transition piece leading to the burner cans, using the very helpful pix provided above in this forum, and sadly, the transition piece does indeed slope too much, to intersect with somewhat undersized cans. This instance is very much like that of the well-publicized "stepped" transition piece leading to significantly too-small burner cans that Revell used in their circa 1990 Fulcum kits, an egregious error, not correctible other than by laborious scratchbuilding, for some nineteen years until the recent release of ZactoModel's (Chris Miller) definitive-but-not-inexpensive ($105 U.S.) resin correction set.

Bobski: I received the kit yesterday (17 Apr) and have given its components a very close examination, comparing them with pix from the June "Flight Journal" and other pix takern from the internet. With all due respect, I can't agree with many of your criticisms, and some of your valid points are a very easy fix. You can read my item-by-item comments in today's (18th) HyperScale Jet Age forum.

The Dynavector bus left about ten years ago; you probably weren't on it! Taro-san made an excellent 1/48 TSR.2, Javelin, Hornet, Scimitar, Sea Vixen, etc., and It'll take a real effort to better these multi-media kits in injected. Bondo Phil CEO Bondo Industries
