Dingwall

Oops, didn't read thoroughly. Advised the new Kinetic kit, but that's a C model.

ANA and Boeing have revealed their STAR WARS 787 fleet. I hope the decal companies can make the liveries is 1/114 scale to faith Zvezda or Revell kits. Here's a link to some pictures: http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Photos-Boeing-ANA-debut-Star-Wars-fleet-327123011.html?tab=gallery Greetings. Dingwall.

There is an alternative now, more then a year later. http://www.uschivdr.com/products-in-detail/polishing-powders-metallic-pigments/ Best regards. Dingwall.

I posted some of my findings in the rumourmunger thread, pages 5. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234939263-kittyhawk-voodoo-148/?hl=voodoo

I too have this kit and find it a fair one to build. The fit of the cockpit and wheel well are perfect. You only need to remove a little triangle shaped plastic inside each front fuselage half that interfere with the vertical side consoles. Once removed, the halfes close nicely. At the rear end of the left front fuselage half, you need to remove a little bit of plastic aft of the bulge to make room for it. About the intakes, take a look at this picture on this site: http://beyondthesprues.com/Forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=c9rh3knlo9cnrgb53r08ejo8l3&topic=654.0 Not entirely straight but possibly not as the B model. I found the exhaust disappointing. When the outside panels are fitted, your left with a gap between two of the parts. Best you can do is hide it inboard next to the fuselage. Hoping for Aires resin exhausts. The instructions would have you glue the main wheel well inner side wall C9 and C10 to the upper wing halfes, but a better fit is obtained by glueing them to the lower wing halfes because then you have the rest of the wheel well walls to support C9 and C10. When fitting the tail section to the mid section you need to scrape down the flange on the mid section to avoid ending up with a step between the two sections, especially on the left hand side. I didn't follow the instruction on constructing the front fuselage. I constructed left and right instead of back to front, so to say. The spliitterplates inside the intakes are a bit too big. They need to be filed down a little. I glued them in and glued the intake top and bottom together only on the inside first. Leave it to cure and glue the outside with help of clamps. So far my experience with the kit. Hope it helps with constructing the kit. Dingwall.

I hope Welsh will cast their own resin engines. Dingwall.

Welsh i s releasing two McDonald Douglas DC-8 models: http://www.welshmodels.co.uk/SL296.html http://www.welshmodels.co.uk/SL297.html Looking forward to them and hoping to build the KLM PH -DCG DC-8-3 with which I flew to New Guinea. Dingwall.

The Daco site gives some reference, http://ultra.glo.be/daco/KSky69.html By the way, Daco says that the top of the fuselage (Crown?) is Pearlescent Clear over White. Can anybody confirm that? I have searched the web but haven't found any pictures. Also, would the White top of the engines nacelles be Pearlescent White? Regards. Dingwall.

Hi all. Stumbled upon this site. Not sure what it's all about but seen a few interesting things, for instance: http://jetabout.webs.com/eaa/jalf.htm Home page: http://jetabout.webs.com Regards.

Thanks to Laurent from F-RSIN it is solved very satisfactory. Regards.

Thank you all for your thoughts. I have returned the engines to lhs. I sent F-RSIN an email. Regards.

Hi, I have edited this message. I regret taking the this course of expression on a product produced by people who give us the possibility to build something other then what is offered straight out of the box. Beste regards. Dingwall.

If Zvezda is really bold, they could do something impressive, like this: http://www.flightglobal.com/airspace/media/airbusconceptplane/emptys/97437/airbus-concept-plane.jpg My favorites are Vickers VC-10 or Super VC-10, McDonald Douglas DC-8 and MD-11, Airbus A340, Lockheed L-1011. Zvezda can do the whole range of civil aircraft as far as I'm concerned.
