Yes I was wondering about that too. It seems to be a Taiwan special version? It won't work for US, Australian and Polish Apaches.

If you wet sand, a mask is not necessary, though I would suggest gloves. I always wear gloves when doing the major preparatory sanding of both bought casted resin and 3D printed resin. When grinding and cutting, yes be extra careful, but that is the same with castable resin. The "dangers" of fibreglass are real in the production where the resins are active, the strands of fibreglass can go into your skin and under your finger nails etc. But once its done, realisticly speaking, you will only be sanding the resin on top of the fibres anyway. We are fortunately working with small quantities at any given time.

Why would you be afraid? I have worked with fibreglass in an automotive setting. From a safety standpoint it is no worse than working with our familiar resin models.

I really hope it contains four Mavericks and four KGGBs, but I doubt that from the instruction snippets. The correct “battle” configuration, should it come to these being pressed one, would be a centerline tank and one type of ordnance. Two different types would not make sense. Still, it’s probably the best boxing of the FA-50GF so far. I mean, it’s only the third different release of a plane that exists in 12 real life examples…

The “I” decals are in the “A” boxing…

Thanks. I had not hoped for any models (for the same reasons your rep mentioned) but it's sad to hear those fears confirmed.

The event is from May 14- May 18th in case anyone wonders when to check the actual news from If Tamiya releases a new 1/20 F1 car, I will be requiring an ambulance. (but there are absolutely no chances of that happening)

Quite possible, but still a simple double check of the plans against dimensions mentioned in literature should solve this. However, if it is only the length that is wrong, hopefully there will be an easy fix to this (inserting a piece of flat styrene)

How can supposed serious companies get basic scaling wrong in this day and age?

Thanks for sharing, those are some nice pictures! You are right, that naked E looks like malnourished. A proper E has CFTs and enough stores to bend the wings.

I like it. It’s an April fools joke that ultimately delivered. This is good natured fun. The only disappointment from me is that cow not included

Is that an FDM print? 😬

My suggestions for the puzzle: "we are" and then a 6 letter word that does not contain "E,A,R,W" "we are mighty"? I would have said "we are ready" (as that would fit the "they are coming" phrase) but it cannot fit. It can of course also be "be xxe xxxxxx" "be the lucky"?? I need more repetitions to solve this!!! 🤨

The clue is probably in the green letters below. I cannot match the font to anything, but I would guess the second and sixth character is an "E" (most common character in English language) So "xe xxe xxxxxx" ?
