B-58 Hustler. Italeri 1/72nd scale.
PATRICK FROM THE SANDS replied to HL-10's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I wanted to buy one of this fascinating aircraft and I read a lot of articles about the Italeri B-58... Being disappointed to see that this kit is far from being flawless, I dropped the idea. However yours is absolutely superb, the NMF aspect is top notch! Congrats! -

Dutch Starfighter
PATRICK FROM THE SANDS replied to reini's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Superb Starfighter! I have one in stock, but the "heavy riveting" made by Hasegawa for the engine cowling seems a little bit odd to me... -

Canadair CC-106 Yukon 1/72nd Scale
PATRICK FROM THE SANDS replied to gaputz's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Whaoo, very impressive! Transport aircrafts at that scale are not my cup of tea as I found them too challenging but your is flawless...That's great 72eme, congratulations! -
Great 72eme! I did a Seaking last year, from Cyberhobby.com, which was quite fine. Dont know about the Airfix one... Just a little remark about the antenna wire on the right side, could be thinner I guess. Congratulation for such a beauty!

Hello Fellow Modelers! Back to the forum to present to you a kit that took me ages to build! I have grafted the greek brand "Grand Model" TF-102 resin nose to the F-102A Meng model. During that conversion, I discovered a lot of problems and inaccuracies, both from Meng and GM... The greek product is completely weird in size and proportion, (nose shape, intakes, canopy...), very disappointing. If glued straight to the cut Meng fuselage, the size of the aircraft is one centimeter longer than expected! Crap! The Meng model is far from being flawless, among the mistakes are the panel lines which are too deep and wrongly positioned for some of them. To add a little more spice to the build, I redid completely the missile bay, which is also inaccurate. The list of changes and modifications is too long to be posted here, if somebody is interested, the history of the work is there: https://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=124329 . (Unfortunately it is in french.) Here are the photos, supposedly showing a TF-102A case X from the 431st FIS based in Zaragosa, quite attractive with the "Satan Angel" face on the tail. (bigger than the one on the single seaters): The real one (I found only two BW photos): Mine: As a conclusion, too much efforts and works for a disappointing result, I still find out that there is something weird somewhere... When Hasegawa, Tamiya or Meng will put one on the market??? Thank you for watching, critiques most welcomed!
