  1. I am thinking of converting the Academy kit into a G variant by using GWH's B-52G's tail,engine pods and pylons but it's easier said than done as the GWH tail is slightly bigger, the pods as earlier mentioned lack details and so too are the engine pylons.Hopefully there's someone out there who can produce a conversion set for the G.
  2. A terrific quartet of Beaus I must say. I have to admit I have never build any Beaufighters although it's my favourite twin-engine and of course the Mk.21 is my favourite. Hopefully to build one next month upon retiring on the 13th. Again a marvellous job done on the 4 Beaufighters.
  3. Such a lovely replica of the most beautiful flying machine ever created.
  4. Something different out of Africa and it's really nice. It seems the Ugandan's Frescos camo is very similar to the Israeli supplied Magisters trainers.
  5. That's a well build Buff you have there and I totally agree with your comments in regards to the Academy kit. It's miles ahead of the GWH B52s in terms of accuracy and hopefully there will other variants, particularly the G. GWH's B-52G is a big disappointment especially the engine pods which are devoid of details.
  6. I have both kits and when I made some comparison,it seems GWH B-52's radar altimeters are missing,so too are the VOR aerials on the tail fin,the bomb bay is too long and details beyond the rear main undercarriage are also a bit vague. The bomb/wheel bay box section longeron is also depicted wrongly, it should look like a long plank not a half tube. The comparisons are made by using drawings from Osprey's B-52 books and superimposing outlines of the kits with actual pictures.
  7. Had this kit during the early 70s and knew how crude it was compares to today's kits.However MicTroy had turned it into a gem. That's really a great makeover. A beautiful Australian Beau.
  8. That's a superbly made Bucc you have there. No doubts about that.
  9. Hopefully those who are living in Europe have got their Starfighters by this month from (Lucky models?) My two Airfix Hawker Hunters are still in their storage facility after ordering the both of them in April.The irony is that HK is only 2402 km away from Malaysia. I was thinking of getting more Kinetic kits before that but the non- delivery really put the plans off.
  10. That's a superb build,love every inch of it and the camo is spot on!
  11. Beautifully done. Too bad Kinetic didn't include the Turkish decal in their latest Starfighter release,the F-104S.
  12. Now I can put out my Occidental G91R4 out to pasture,the second Gina which I bought in 2000.The first was the ESCI Gina bought in 1978. That's a really long wait for a brand new G91.
  13. Beautifully done,a great paint job (white can be difficult) and yes,an interesting beast from the east. Seldom seen in the news anymore as more Sukhois are entering the PLAAF service.
  14. Is there any intention by Kinetic to broaden up their Mirage III/5 range by introducing the Mirage 5BA/BD/BR/Elkan variants? I know Wingman Models did the Mirage 5BA but is already out of production and with a price tag that commoners like me could not afford.
  15. The B-52H with the latest updates. No ALT-28 ECM Antenna on the nose is one. Nice.
  16. That's a beautiful livery on the Vietjet A320 and it's very fortunate for us to see such colorful airliners flying over Vietnam and some parts of the world. My favourite livery would be the All blue Vietnam Airlines. However I had the misfortune of travelling on the A321 flight VN920 which blew its starboard engine while lifting off from HCM city.
  17. A Silver masterpiece. I have long being intrigued by the appearance of the Skyshark since the day I saw it in Janes Aircraft dated back to the 1950s. I am glad Clearprops finally did it. Should be nice sitting next to the Skyraider.
  18. Bummer! No Royal Thai Air Force markings. It doesn't hv any Rep.Singaporean AF markings too.
  19. Honestly I am glad that the SF260s will be released soon ...... I hv waited 5 decades for someone to do so.
  20. Super Trio of Indian Air Force frontline warplanes,love every each one of them especially the Mig-29UPG.Btw among the modifications done did it include minimizing the famous heavy smokey trail ?
  21. Superb Model....now I realized with the trumpeter kit every versions of the T-37 Tweet can be build by using the modifications shown.Thanks for sharing Lorebor.
  22. Russ offerings are never disappointing.A very nice Kingcobra,wonderfully done. In my opinion The Kingcobra looks meaner than the earlier variants and a lot bigger too. The French really made full use of it fighting the Viet Minh and I guess it was even used in Algeria.Btw are the Dora Wing's and the AMG examples the same?
