corsaircorp Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hello Reini ! How did I miss this one .... Really nice job on the NMF ! Lessons learned ! Thank you and your very productive father !! Your problems with the decals surely came from the undersized nose of the Trumpy Huns. I started heavy surgery on mine, another Dr Moreau's work for me.... But I have good sized resin nose from Monogram kits... And good resin air intakes from Trumpy... Now mating all that stuff into my Monogeter kits Whatever, that's a great looking Hun ! Congratulations !! Sincerely. CC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now mating all that stuff into my Monogeter kits Whatever, that's a great looking Hun ! Congratulations !! Sincerely. CC I just now discovered this build- what everybody else has said- Wow! Great hot section, too! Yep, CC, the Trumpeter nose is too shallow and the intake has a flat bottom where it should be oval. Monogram got it right, and IIRC somebody does a resin replacement, but 1/48 not being my preferred scale, I can't tell you who it was. Their 1/72 Huns have the same problem, but being an old fud, I have a couple of Hasegawa and Esci Huns I can turn to for intake replacements. This one's looking very, very good, though! Mike Oh, yeah- I vaguely remember some discussion about the length or shape of the 'banana' external tanks, and I think somebody made resin replacements, but don't hold me to that, as it may just have been regarding the 1/72 kits! Bet @Sabrejet will know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Hi Mike, You also neglected to mention the over-narrow cockpits and canopies on the Trumper 1/72 F-100s. On the subject of the banana tanks, remember that they had two sizes of these in reality. Also the Turks produced their own which were a weird banana shape but with a conical nose.

Martin Thanks, Martin- I had forgotten about the canopy and cockpit; I wasn't sure about the tanks and was too lazy to pull out my notes on the subject to see which ones were inaccurate, which is why I just mentioned to check review/s on them; I do remember buying a pair of resin aftermarket tanks, don't remember what capacity, though, for my F-100D project...now, I just need to find them! (Too many resin and, etched sets and , and vacform canopies for me to keep track of anymore!) 'Preciate your corrections, as always! Mike I always hoped Meng would do F-100's, as I think they would get them right, if their other Century Series models are any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Hi Mike! Taking the 1/72 perspective: the Esci kit had the larger banana tanks, while the Trumpeter had/has the small version. I don't know of any manufacturer of the Turkish indigenous ones. I think the stories of inaccuracy with the Trumpeter are therefore misguided. Now that's a bold statement!

Ozzyman69 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Wery well. A good result for the landing gear assy from my point of view. Congrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Does look good, can I recomend some beake dust on the main wheels? Most photos I've seen, you can barely see the rims. I don't think the nose wheels had brakes, not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Lyttle Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Looking superb. Like the care and attention you are pouring over this plane. Just going from memory, and the few refs I have right now, I have a feeling that the main gear doors close again after the wheels are down. And then only open for the gear to retract. But you need to check--- and you may know different!! 🌟🌟🌟 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a lot of pics with open doors when the aircraft is parked. almost done DSC_0001 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
