Question... the vents that are in front of the ladder door... Hasegawa I think eventually moulded a new sprue that included them on their newer kits, but I'm not finding anywhere that is showing GWH has this feature. The instructions on Scalemates don't show anything being applied there on the C-model and I have not been able to find good close-up sprue pics or instructions for the A-model. Are these vents included and just not shown in the instructions for the A/C-model, or is this something GWH missed altogether? 🤔

Yes, it's needed in 72nd too. 😒

2nd day I've logged right in without going the VPN route and everything working smoothly with no errors! 👍

Mike, when I would get the 522 error, it was showing all connections here in the U.S. to be good and that the break-down was somewhere between Cloudflare (says it is in Texas) and BM in the UK. Not sure what that's worth to you?... At least for now, the VPN seems to be a workaround for those of us having problems, but still is strange and annoying (whatever it is)... EDIT: I noted that when I just logged on, I was NOT using the VPN and got right in this time... so perhaps you did get it fixed with what you did. 👍

Just was having trouble getting in (from U.S.)... fired up my VPN and set to the Netherlands?... BOOM!... right in like before the problem started. 🙄 Update: shut off my VPN, had time outs again... turned on VPN again (now out of Singapore) and no more time outs. 😒

Yeah, I'm getting this Cloudflare 522 thing pretty much all the time now for the past few weeks... what gives? Any fixes?

Somebody proved the concept was indeed a viable one, with an RC model... have seen the video of it out there somewhere.

Probably me... (if only Photo-Phucket hadn't messed up the images) 🙄

Can't wait to see it completed! 👍

Thought I heard something recently that they have a ground-launched version?

My opinion about the will-they/won't-they Model Collect B-1?... Invest in the Barracadacast B-1 sets, as they are very well done and Barracuda are great to deal with. Picked them up a long time ago and wouldn't give Model Collect another look even if they did release it. They made too many rookie mistakes with the B-52's and their B-2 seems like more should have been done with it, to justify the price they expect for it over the old Testors (which can still build up good with old fashioned modeling skill).

Glad to hear! This was one of my more fun & fulfilling kit-bashes, that I would highly recommend to anyone that is comfortable hacking and splicing parts. High Planes definitely got the nose, fuselage & canopy much better than any of the other existing kits for sure. Hope it's still available, but not sure on that. 🤔

Looks great Pat! 👍 Having wrangled a hybrid, I know it's no mean feat with the HP kit... Just hard to believe that Airfix still hasn't stepped up on this one, since they did a good one in 1/48. One would have thought that after all the bleeding so many of us have done on the available kits?... the styrene gods would have smiled on us by now! 😔 BTW - I wouldn't recommend anyone clicking on that old z15invisionfree.com link in my old thread... 😏

Wish they'd actually post photos of the printed parts or a build-up, instead of just the 3D renderings. 😢

Hope they re-release the two-seaters eventually.
