    Typical Tamiya. They release a beautiful F-4B that's so well engineered it almost assembles itself, just as I was battling with my Academy build and now they're likely to release a J just as I'm battling to assemble even the cockpit on my ZM J kit.

    If they release a new F-4 variant then I would imagine an F-4C, D or J to be most likely but if they suddenly popped out a long nosed Phantom then my mind would be blown. If they did what no one other than Hasegawa has done and launched a British variant then my gast would be well and truly flabbered.

    Yep. I also picked up the last one available in my local hobby shop today at a wee discount. Just to be safe.

    Great news! Always wanted to build the “City of Victorville” WW after the first Hasegawa boxing of their F-4G.

    It does appear to be out of stock with all of the suppliers I’ve tried but I’d be stunned if Tamiya didn’t commission another batch.

    Back when I still had an F-22 to think about building I wondered about this and thought about (but didn't get around to experimenting with the idea) spraying the basic paint job first then perhaps using a thinned down pearlescent clear coat over the top.

    That's not a realistic F-35. I mean, where are the thick RAM panels?
  8. Nocoolname
    Really? In that case mine's going in the BIN! 🤪

    It does look amazing. I really did ‘accidentally’ get one of these when I forgot to cancel the back order as I had done for all other kits and bits. I’ll probably never make this but it’s nice to see the work others have done and have in the works. Also just managed to sell on my two 1994 versions with complete AM for a surprisingly high price. Intriguing to think of what the likes of Eduard, Aires, Blackdog and Quinta might add to this.

    The Weather,

    Nocoolname replied to Mick4350's topic in Chat

    Today's cruel twist of fate. The mobile air con unit I ordered at the weekend arrived a day earlier than expected. But it was seriously damaged and the supplier un-contactable for a replacement, only an automated facility for a return (at my heft) and the slow wait for a refund

    Hi folks I've been absent from the forum for a while due to 'life' but have progressed with some builds, albeit at a glacial pace. These include Revell 1/48 Tornado IDS, Trumpeter 1/24 Hurricane and Tamiya 1/48 F-14A Tomcat. Here's a couple of pics of the latter so far. The cockpit and forward undercarriage/fuselage are done and assembled and it's just moving to the next stage. I'll post pics of the other builds that are coming along also. Thanks for looking 🙂

    Phew! I only have 'four' F/A-18's in the stash (wipes brow)

    Eduard’s ‘Camel & Co’ and a heap of Quinta Studios sets for 1/48 aircraft: Tamiya F-117A Tamiya F-4B x 2 Minibase Su-33 Hasegawa F-104G Hobbyboss MV-22 and as much as I’m interested in the forthcoming sets for the A-6 family I wish, just once, they’d park some of the obvious stuff and do some British subjects for a change. Something for the Revell Tornadoes, kinetic Harriers etc.

    I saw the video by Jamie Hood where he showed off a number of prototypes including the Razer Crest in many of its component parts with all the glorious detail. It even comes with a tiny scale figure of Grogu. Looks like another expensive Christmas on the way.

    First thing I thought on reading your post was why are your roads made of carpet? As for the item, looks like one of the tiny push button LED's you can pick up at festivals. I had a couple over my sunny's at a festival years back.

    You might try this: https://culturehustle.com/products/mirror I saw some examples shared by @Mike on BM a while back and your topic just reminded me to order some.
  17. Nocoolname
    That would go nicely alongside one of my Fine Molds 1/72 Slave One's. 🙂

    Today's grump. Movie companies further delaying the release of films because they insist on a cinema release. Like the huge number of people that were quite happy 'not' turning back the clock on the more progressive things to emerge from lockdown, I was quite enjoying 'not' having the 'cinema experience' and instead of the usual melee (mobile phones, talking over the film and all manner of disruptions) actually started to get used to enjoying watching the new releases without disruption. But no, this was no sign of a brave new world but just a mere blip before reality was dragged back to the 20th century. Grump ends!

    Looks like an SR-71. 1/48 scale. 2021 tooling with modern details. I know how to use Zap-a-Gap. 🙂

    A bunch of AM stuff from the Big H - Eduard Big Ed B-17F Part III, LooK and Lancaster Mk I LooK along with the Xtradecal set for the Chipmunk I flew in at RAF Woodvale a long time ago!
  21. Nocoolname
    AMT/Round 2 are also due to release a kit in 1/72
  22. Nocoolname
    I bought 2 x stencil sets to go with the 2 kits I bought. TBH I think it's a bit of a stretch Tamiya selling this separate from the rest of the kit but I guess if you want it you pay it. At least it offers more than just 'stencils', including canopy seals and details for the engines too.
  23. Nocoolname
    The Big H has some interesting Eduard subjects listed for future release including a 1/48 Tornado IDS and another 1/48 Spitfire special covering the Va and Vb but I can't find any details listed with Eduard?
  24. Nocoolname
    I'm hoping for tail fins. And shape.
  25. Nocoolname
    Actually just checked mine again and found a similar issue in the wheel department as mentioned above. Not a major issue given I'll likely display as aircraft on the ground but this kind of thing really shouldn't be happening. Also now worried that I might yet discover a problem with my Vulcan kit. Will be avoiding Airfix until they sort their QC.
