    I have had very good luck (and quick delivery) right from the Clear Prop store on their web site. It is not listed there yet. This may be one of the longer “almosts” but I check it every day.

    Spoilsport!

    How about the Aircraft in Miniature 1/72 3D printed one, which I consider myself lucky to have. Is it a figment or hopefully not. If only I could figure out how to drill rigging holes in those beautiful one piece upper and lower wings with connecting struts.

    I agree that KV masks for the Jetstream were outstanding. Made a major contribution to a very enjoyable build that would not have been nearly as good without them. Those oval windows are a real morale crusher, at least for me. I didn’t stick them to my forehead but did apply them over Future; a trick I learned using original vinyl masks from Dave Klaus’ Meteor Productions. They came off easily.

    My first one came the other day from Models UA. Very nice looking kit but I have just one concern. There are no window masks included as has become common with kits from Ukraine. Wonder if it is missing or never intended to be included. I usually cut my own but rounded corners or shapes are impossible for me to cut neatly. That’s when I appreciate pre-cut masks. I suppose the aftermarket will come through. Don’ feel comfortable starting until they do.

    Is this still the one with the separate outer wings and no real way to join them?
  7. Trenton guy
    Amen to that!

    Gives me a good reason to buy them both. The P is on the way from Models UA but I really like that Aero-Caribbean scheme

    A little puzzled here. Hannants lists all three kits as “in stock” since May 8th, number 16 on the best seller list. Mine is on the way.

    I feel your pain. I have a nice selection of Liveries Unlimited Electra decals also sized for the woebegone Minicraft example. I think most of the problem was around the nose. Hoping to be able to adapt them because they are really nic decals.

    My bad. The black strip looked like shadow before I increased magnification. Thanks.

    Box top photo shows a (radar?) fairing that doesn’t seem to appear on the sprues, or did I miss it.

    A war happened but the Electra seems to have survived. Many more than three cheers for X Scale

    And the sprues exist !!! That’s my idea of an announcement.

    I too was thinking about trying to add the PR two seat front to the Airfix nacelle/wing (using the PR booms and tail, of course). Got stuck because it seems that the widened two seat pod extends further back than the wing root intakes. That means that the intake geometry of the two seater must be different from that of the single seater but I can’t locate any good reference on that difference. Anybody know anything about this area of the two seater?

    I believe that is one of the ones Stalin caused to be cancelled because it could carry more than 50 passengers. He seems to have thought more than 50 deaths in one crash was too much. Who knew what a humanitarian he was.

    Ordered direct from LF on Mar 29. Arrived today in Pennsylvania USA, Apr 9. That’s really good service. Initial examination of parts suggests that the pictures don’t lie. A beautiful kit on the sprues, by far LF’s best. Can’t wait to get started. Sadly, three Bf-109E, a Bf-109G-10, a Ju-88A-1, a Gee Bee, an AMX, a M-346, an F-84F and four 1/700 ships are clogging up the pipeline. Really do need to control my urge to start kits while others are underway. At lest they are all to the decal stage so there is hope for my long dreamed of Wasp.

    Just ordered mine direct from LF. Had good experience with them in the past. Also got the masking sets and a set of resin torpedo’s for the Wasp. Also available from the Aviation Megastore, € 170 postage?
  20. Trenton guy
    Agreed, modelsua.com is a delight to deal with

    Actually not. A few years ago I made a DB-7 from an early stepped nose A-20 and parts from the Hi Planes DB-7 ( engines, nacelles, fin, etc ). imagine my surprise when I went to mask the nose transparency , using some plans and found that the early A-20 stepped nose glazing and the BB-7 glazing were not the same. All ended well but I had to sand all the framing off the A-20 nose, Polish and and then mask a proper BB-7 glazing. Fortunately the overall BB-7 glazed areas were slightly smaller than that of the early A-20. Otherwise disaster.

    I actually have one. I like it. Now awaiting the withering criticism for being in sufficiently demanding. Unlike at least one commenter I see no basis to bring criminal charges. Seriously, some of the criticism has validity but it is a very nice kit. We all need to get a grip and that was a great review. And thanks for your common sense comments, Mike.
  23. Trenton guy
    That’s a drawing! WOW!
  24. Trenton guy
    Amen, and thanks for your comment. I guess one tries irony at ones peril.
  25. Trenton guy
    Mine is on the way. I will wait until I touch it to trash it.
