Yep, i use mine for flight sim (DCS) and racing sims. 2 Transducers either side of my seat and it works surprisingly well, although i will add 2 more when i get chance.
I also use VR, and those 2 combined makes it feel very immersive.

I have made my own, using some transducers and a mini amp. Got the idea from this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K55VNaS5rZI
It works very well!

HI Stew, did you ever finish this?
Looks a great build!
-
I would love one, but there's no way i could justify spending that much. I would be too afraid to build it in case i cocked it up, so it would just sit in my stash (alongside my Wingnut kits 🙄😂) and that would be a waste - After all, kits are made for being built aren't they?
For anyone who does get one though, and builds it, you are my hero. What a kit!!

I’ll follow along if you don’t mind, been eying this kit up for a while now. Gotta love the Tempest, a bruiser of an aircraft 🙂

Wow that's a work of art!

Ammo MIG is great, they do a flat aluminium which brushes on very easily. I pretty much only use these paints now, they are really good.

Wow, great start - Your figure painting is top notch!

Nice work, i'm tempted to have a go at one of these, it would look lovely next to my A6M2.
As @jenkosays, the undercarriage is a bit tricky, you're supposed to be able to operate it, but mine is just down - If i tried to move it now it would just break.

You will enjoy this build, i did the A6M2 a few years back and it was ace.
As for Aotake, i did a lot of research when building mine and in the end was none the wiser!

I've been using my trusty H&S Ultra now for a while after buying it from the very nice chap at Little Cars at Telford back in 2014. It was my first so its taught me a lot, and at the same time i've probably been a bit ham fisted with it. But it's been fun and i'm improving.
I'm finding now that i'm starting to struggle with it, i think the nozzle is a bit worn and the trigger assembly feels a bit slack with not much feel.
I've been looking at the H&S Infinity, what realistically would i notice over the Ultra? Its a fair amount of money but if the gains are there i don't mind shelling out.
Or should i replace parts on my Ultra or indeed just buy another Ultra?
i mainly paint 1/48 and 1/32 aircraft, with Tamiya and Ammo Mig paints.
Thanks for any help/insight/advice!

I've unexpectedly gained some free time over the next couple of weeks, and rather than waste it i thought i would do something useful, dig around in the stash and start another build. Top of the pile was CSM's lovely Nieuport 17. Although not my first WW1 build (WNW's Junkers D1 got there first), this will be my first build with rigging.
So first the very nice box art
Lifting the lid reveals another sturdy main box
4 marking options, i'm not sure yet which one i will choose
The instruction booklet is very very nice
I havent photographed much of the the sprues, but take my word for it the moulding is superb, there is a tiny bit of flash here and there but nothing that wont be sorted with 2 seconds of a sanding stick.
First job was to start with the cockpit. Lots of detail here to be added so i'm expecting this first part of the build to take some time.
Mig Ammo New Wood sprayed on
And then once dry i started with the oils, i really enjoy this part, very therapeutic! Although i dont like waiting for it to dry so much..
That's pretty much where i'm at, i have done the cockpit framing too but forgot to take any pics of that.
Will crack on again tomorrow!
So far i'm very pleased with this kit, seems to pretty much be on a par with WNW, lets see how it builds up!
Thanks for looking!

Excellent work, it looks great.
I've got one of these in the stash that i picked up at Telford, so it's nice to see one being built. Will be following closely!

Thanks guys.
Joachim, i'm with you on the exhaust staining - It didnt quite turn out as planned, i may go back and remedy it.
-
Outstanding!

My first Wingnut Wings kit, its a very far from perfect build but it was great fun and i've learnt a lot, so thats what counts eh? Everything people say about these kits is bang on, they are fantastic. I've since added 2 more to the stash and i just know more will be incoming....
I used MIG Metal acrylic Matt Aluminium for fusalage, pastels for weathering and my new favourite flat coat, Windsor and Newton flat varnish.

Wow.... Fantastic. I too saw it at Telford, it stood out to me because its different.
Very well done too!

Very very nice - Love the colour scheme and a very clean build.
