Any idea if/when this kit is likely to be available?

Not sure where this came from! 🤔 The photos linked in the thread show quite clearly how the three 'moving parts' hinge and slide respectively.
-
Whatever cosmetic considerations apply to the real thing, that's some of the most convincing wear and tear I've seen applied to a model. No fancy stylistic shading, that looks like it's just fought a war. Also a very professional build, looks like a shrink-ray job. Excellent work 👍

Legendary Blackbird - Part 0: Genesis... (3D Printing)
Alan P replied to Serkan Sen's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
How is this build going, @Serkan Sen? Hope all is well with you. -
Already went down this rabbit hole Phil, the only alternative right now is 3D-printed as shown above, unless @JeffreyK is closer to producing any to go with the Hypersonic SR-71. Apparently, the astronaut figures from the old Revell Gemini capsule in 1/48 will do as SR-71 crew, with the canopies closed there's not much to see anyway.

LM are already producing more than ten a month, it's hard to see what this will mean in production terms other than fulfilling another contract condition. But hey, more F-35s is no bad thing!

Ha! In fact it was you and @FG2Si that put me on to these conversions, and I was relieved to find one for the Revell kit, because that Tamiya Mustang is sacred 😂

Looks lovely, but I'm crying here 😭😭😭

Just regarding rigging as mentioned by @Vlad, I used EZ-Line for years but it does deteriorate in sunlight, so I now have some spontaneously unrigged ships on display 😔 it is also flat in cross section when stretched. I would now recommend Lycra thread such as Uschi rigging thread, can be supplied in different gauges.

I think this is a great little kit. Built it for the last STGB back in lockdown, thought it fit together very nicely. And I was very impressed by the pilot figure, this was a real classic kit. Re decals... After leaving in the sun for a week I painted over my sheet with Liquid Decal Film, a Microscale product, and they came out beautifully.

Fine work! Not a subject we see built up very often, looks extremely interesting. That's great to hear, cos I really don't, probably the weakest part of my game!
-
A proper vintage kit! Haven't seen moulded markings for a looooong time 😂 Will be good to see what you can do with modern paint and techniques.

Great set of photos, thanks Duggy 👍

@zegeye and @TEMPESTMK5 those are beautiful, really well done 👍 -
Ah this is great to see! Wonder how it stacks up with the Piper Enforcer? Look forward to the build, though I find it depressing you'll have to chop up that lovely Tamiya kit to do it 😢

Just a placeholder for the Piper PA-48 Enforcer I'm planning to build for the GB. Although not a true Mustang, this has been approved by Patrice @TEMPESTMK5 and will be the Halberd Models resin conversion for the Revell P-51D-15-NA kit in 1/32. Looking forward to starting but modelling opportunities are few and far between these days 😢 See you all back here at the weekend! Cheers, Alan
