  1. I am looking for an email address for Airone Hobby. I've been to their farcebook page, but cannot find any contact information. I've left a message several days ago and that has not been responded to. I figure finding an email address is the next best step. Thanks!
  2. That looks great Mike. Have you given thought to marketing it or at least the plans to build one? I'd be your first customer!
  3. Happily, I am now able to access their site again. Thanks all.
  4. Just curious if anyone is having trouble accessing Eduard's website? I am getting the following message: I have also been getting that same message when I try to go on to another website (hobby forum). That one has been more long standing. I have tried all sorts of things to clear that one up, unsuccessfully and I am just hoping and praying that this is not the case with Eduard's website now.
  5. Mike, would you be able to post a few pictures of the jig you made for your 190s? Thanks.
  6. Great pic Chris, thank you. I can see some differences between the two. It's a little difficult to tell, but I am guessing that both kits have raised panel lines?
  7. Hello all, I am looking for some input on Italeri's 1/72 SM.82 kit. I've been giving some thought to picking one up, and have not been able to find any really good reviews on the kit, so I am hopeful that the members here might have experience with it and could pass along their thoughts and comments. TIA.
  8. Hello all, A, hopefully, easy question, though I have not been successful finding the answer... Can anyone tell me if the Italeri 1/72 SM.81 Pipistrello kit is the same as the Supermodel offering? If so, has Italeri improved the kit at all, or just repackaged it under their label? Thank you.
  9. Mike, an additional question for you with respect to the gun troughs. Do the Eduard 190A-5 kits have the same problem with the length? Do they need to be shortened as you did with the A-8's?
  10. Thank you for pointing that out Mike. In 1/72, does the Eduard kit suffer a similar problem? What about the Hasegawa kit? Pity that Tamiya never saw fit to shrink their 190 kit to 1/72. It would have been great.
  11. Thanks Mike. Those are excellent pictures and definitely clarify things. After having looked at the one with the armoured windscreen, I'm thinking that a piece of clear thin plastic cut to size and shape would make for a suitable representation.
  12. I just came across this post. For anyone who has this kit and is looking to spruce it up, MH models offers a masking set and several aftermarket sets.
  13. Thanks Giorgio! I appreciate your quick and most helpful reply! If I can ask another question of you, how did the 'early' 202's canopy differ?
  14. I have the Hasegawa Macchi 2023 kit as well as the Mister Kit Macchi 205 conversion set. Is there any difference in the canopy / windscreen between the 202 and 205? I am hoping that I can use the Squadron vac form canopy (or even the Hasegawa kit one) for the Macchi 205. TIA.
  15. Having purchased the Mister Kits sets for both the 202 and 205, and after having gone through all 4 sets (2 of each), I thought it only right to mention that I've ended up with a somewhat similar problem with the replacement fuselages as the OP has with his kit. All the tops of the vertical stabilizers are short shot: To be fair, one fuslage half from one of the 202 sets was ok. I've emailed Mister Kit and will hopefully receive replacement pieces for the defective ones.
