Any idea if/when this kit is likely to be available?

Not sure where this came from! 🤔 The photos linked in the thread show quite clearly how the three 'moving parts' hinge and slide respectively.

Whatever cosmetic considerations apply to the real thing, that's some of the most convincing wear and tear I've seen applied to a model. No fancy stylistic shading, that looks like it's just fought a war. Also a very professional build, looks like a shrink-ray job. Excellent work 👍

Legendary Blackbird - Part 0: Genesis... (3D Printing)
Alan P replied to Serkan Sen's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
How is this build going, @Serkan Sen? Hope all is well with you. -
Already went down this rabbit hole Phil, the only alternative right now is 3D-printed as shown above, unless @JeffreyK is closer to producing any to go with the Hypersonic SR-71. Apparently, the astronaut figures from the old Revell Gemini capsule in 1/48 will do as SR-71 crew, with the canopies closed there's not much to see anyway.

LM are already producing more than ten a month, it's hard to see what this will mean in production terms other than fulfilling another contract condition. But hey, more F-35s is no bad thing!

Ha! In fact it was you and @FG2Si that put me on to these conversions, and I was relieved to find one for the Revell kit, because that Tamiya Mustang is sacred 😂

Looks lovely, but I'm crying here 😭😭😭

Just regarding rigging as mentioned by @Vlad, I used EZ-Line for years but it does deteriorate in sunlight, so I now have some spontaneously unrigged ships on display 😔 it is also flat in cross section when stretched. I would now recommend Lycra thread such as Uschi rigging thread, can be supplied in different gauges.

I think this is a great little kit. Built it for the last STGB back in lockdown, thought it fit together very nicely. And I was very impressed by the pilot figure, this was a real classic kit. Re decals... After leaving in the sun for a week I painted over my sheet with Liquid Decal Film, a Microscale product, and they came out beautifully.

Fine work! Not a subject we see built up very often, looks extremely interesting. That's great to hear, cos I really don't, probably the weakest part of my game!
-
A proper vintage kit! Haven't seen moulded markings for a looooong time 😂 Will be good to see what you can do with modern paint and techniques.

Great set of photos, thanks Duggy 👍
