    Immediately after the 1/32 version hopefully !

    Jetmads is the closest you'll get to Injection Moulding without it being an IG kit , replace Normal glue for Supeprglue and really that's it

    Shut up and take my dammed money!

    I can't help with the money side of things , but after building the Viggen I can tell you that it's really a simple build especially since s the 3D printer parts are single pieces making the actual build fairly simple - if you are tempted don't worry about the build process AS for the Learjet , I'm passing on it , simply because I'm not too keep on all that white!

    Just posted this over on LSP , but I thought it might be worth posting here as well, The kit itself is like nothing I've ever built before , 3D printed , pieces such the U/C legs are single pieces There are issues with the model , especially the fit of the wings to the fusalage , and the rather crude Sidewinders, (I use the Eduard ones) and of course the infamous Fields and Meadows 4 colour splinter scheme , something that too weeks to complete even with a very impressive stencil set - so on to the pics The decals in the set are beautiful, very strong Opaque and they stand up to handling The access ladder and tow bar are included in the kit , and again are one piece printings - and beautiful So there we are a kit that may not be thick on the ground , but it it is great build and perhaps a sign of things to come Oh and a very happy peaceful and healthy 2022

    I do want it ,since I have an interest in early jets , but goodness that is an ugly aeroplane ,the 2nd last pic especially , so ugly it could almost be French *Now running for cover

    Really nice work , for me the Printer harness was a game changer m no more dratted PE!!!!

    I found that some of the extremely small parts did basically fall off the carriers, specifically in my case the Canard control surface actuators (the tiny triangular bits), other than that the model is a joy t work on , although I do miss the smell of plastic cement , I'd advise a coat of primer on the 3d printer pieces just to give it a key , I used Alclad Grey for the extra bite the 3d printing aspect of the kit is in my opinion a game changer , the main U/C legs would be a nightmare to build in a conventional kit , in the Viggen one printer piece, , Love it !

    Very very nice kit , and since I can't access the FB link, is there any wiff of a price for this beautiful P-40 ?
  11. colin ritchie
    Looks very impressive , and the build isn't too shabby either!

    WW2 models begging for models in 1/32 don't have to include the usual suspects , so how about Hurricane (All versions) Blenheim Beaufort Beaufighter Brigand Barracuda Firebrand Firefly That should keep u going for a while

    Counting the days ...

    I've said all I'm going to say about the plastic in the kit , but those Decals are something else, absolutely beautiful with some great options

    I'm watching a F9f-5 Panther , and Ill bet it'll go a lot higher that the 155 where it is at the moment , it's a good job I bought then from Fisher before the fire , , of well good times You never miss what you've got until it's gone, ok it's a cliché , but its still true

    Went for 130 +,, Best of luck with the T7/8 - it's really an easy build , and highly enjoyable
  17. colin ritchie
    Ah ha! - so it was you that bought it , I'd been following this one on EvilBay , however since I'd just bought the T8M conversion just a couple of weeks before , costing me my soul and my wife's Remember Fantasy print shop do some beautiful Hunter T7 decals - which is what I did when I turned my T8C into a T7 a few years ago , when Fisher's products wern't as rare as unicorn tears ..

    Looking at that build, my life long obsession with 1/32 might be receding somewhat , that looks to be a superb kit , and light years ahead of the ancient Tamiya one, I certainly can see one of these in my future
  19. colin ritchie
    What a perfect example of modern tool making , a beautiful kit , but as an unrepentant builder of large scale model , I can't help wishing that this model was 32nd , , ah well C'est La Vie ...

    RIP The Tamiya Lanc , and about time too , damm that looks good
  21. colin ritchie
    For those pf us who don't want to hand our souls over to Mark Z , and so don't have facebook access , could you perhaps add some pics from the page - Many thanks

    Also just announced https://dnmodels.com/product/saab-37-viggen-splinter-camo-paint-mask-set-1-32/ $49 for the Splinter scheme - still swithering on this , (my kit is bought and paid for , yes I'm lucky in being able to afford it, I know) , I think I'll wait until I have the kit in my hands and look over the marking options before deciding
  23. colin ritchie
    John I agree to a certain extent , BUT.... Revell F-4 Tweak list That's a LOT wrong , and having built 9 Tamiya F-4s over the years the issues with the Revell are just glaring to me - but each to his own!
  24. colin ritchie
    Agreed that's a good price, the downside is of course the original kit needs a lot more than £50 spent on it to bring it up to something approaching current standards , (New accurate pit, intakes, wheel bays and a new nose )
