I have this in my stash. Is this a Frog kit?

1/35 German Schnellboot S38 class
Cklasse replied to 2Step's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
Lovely, well done boat 👍. I have the 1/35 S100 in the stash but can’t pick up the courage to build it. Actually, all my 1/32 and 1/24 planes are still waiting for me too….. I will probably have to learn from you, to make the first cut and the taste blood. Will certainly use your build as reference. -
Looks like I will just proceed to purchase the S2C IP and seat belt 3D decals for my S2B. The Airfix provided seat belt decal doesn’t do any justice to this 1/48 scale plane.

Digging out this old posting. I just bought the 1/48 S2B and found that most aftermarket add-on are for S2C. I believed there are some differences in the instrument panels between both variants. Since I can only get S2C 3D decals for IP and seat straps, can I get away with the scrutiny policemen if I used it in my S2B?

Another “nostalgic list” build
Cklasse replied to Cklasse's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Got to finish the cockpit so that I can close the canopy for painting. This is my first ejection seats with PE straps and it is money well spent. The PE straps made the seats pop, visually. I will likely order the PE straps for my 1/48 S2B Buccaneer. The seat kit came with a double loop upper ejection handle, which is not in the Strikemaster. Had to drill holes in the seat and put a brass rod for the single loop handle. Ejections seats painted and mounted into cockpit. Had to raise the seat higher. Painting will be soon and I would like to try some of the techniques that are so commonly used by modellers.- 14 replies

Cklasse replied to Cklasse's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
All assembled, including the landing gears. Quite a bit of filling required and lots of scribing. Cut a square hole on the port side for a yellow handle and added a round disc from the spare PE box. Had to build a bulkhead to cover a big gapping hole behind the seats. Again from the spare box, formed a bracket and insert a rod for the pitot tube at the bottom of the nose. Next up will be the resin ejection seats and canopy, then paint.- 14 replies

Ok…it’s the BRITmodeller here, so everyone is naming only British planes. Here in Singapore, I grew up seeing and hearing the low howling sound of the Hawker Hunters. It’s a beautiful plane but it can’t beat the F14 Tomcat. The F14 gets my vote for a beautiful fighter.

Thanks for the link. I have seen pictures of this with the intake nacelle not removed. I just need a confirmation from someone who may have worked or seen that it is indeed 3 panels to access the engine. That is, top and bottom panels swing out and center panel removed.
-
I have tried but failed to get any decent pictures of opening panels to access the port side engine. The Airfix 1/48 S2B has a top panel open option to show the engine. I would want to show more of the engine and more panels will need to open. I can find pictures of Buccaneer with top and bottom panels opened but there seemed to be a missing center panel. Does anyone have pictures or info on how are the panels opened to show the engine?

Great Wall Hobby 1/72 F-14A - Now Bandwagon 202
Cklasse replied to Jon020's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Wow! I am speechless. I have this similar kit in the stash and after reading the 3 pages, I am afraid to start the build. This build will be my reference to build the VF1. -
If wife is going along, Yodobashi Camera is a good place. She can shop, so can you. I visit Japan every year but do not have much time for hobby shops visit other than Yodobashi camera due to family.

Airfix 1/48 Bucacneer S2C. FAA
Cklasse replied to Richard JS's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Very nicely coloured Buc. I have to agree Airfix has improved significantly for new tooled kits but is too heavy handed for panel lines. Their recessed panel lines are too wide and deep for the 1/72 scale kits. Just ordered the 2 buc bundle kit. If anyone wants a buc, check out Airfix site for the good deal.
