David H Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 The Twogar looks awesome! If you want the opinion of a Naval Aircraft specialist, i'd strongly suggest you run this by Tommy Thomason for his input, before you commit too heavily into cutting the tooling. He's willing to do kit / technical research in exchange for free kits. He's sort of one of the elder statesmen on the subject of US Naval Aviation. Another source worth taking a serious look at is the Fisher Models 32nd scale resin TF-9 kit. david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike7451 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Nice gray/green jag,apart from the French LGB's,which we've never used,& the SNEB pods,that iirc were also not carried by the jag. Merv Oh,and the AIM 9L's should be l/gray..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 It's great seeing all these new products coming along, and interesting to see the mould for the Sea Sprite. I for one would be interested in seeing some more of the moulds, and how they're made possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julien Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 While the appearance of the Twogar is welcome, it does have some serious shape issues. Superheat (Tom) has pointed them out over on ARC http://s490816932.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=268353 Hopefully it's and early rapid prototype and not a mould test shot.

Jennings Heilig Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) I have those TF-9J drawings, and I can tell you for a fact that while they're fine to use for dimensions (that's what they're intended for), they are NOT fine to use for shapes and proportions. Aircraft manufacturers don't generally produce what we would call "accurate" drawings. Even the stuff Boeing has put out on the 787 is horribly inaccurate. It's only intended for showing what part of the fuselage a door is located at, or showing an airport manager how to position ground equipment around the airplane. Every time a kit manufacturer uses a factory drawing to make a kit, the kit turns out horrible. The only way to get an accurate model kit is to start with known dimensions, then go put your hands on and photograph a real airplane (lots and lots and lots of photos). There is simply no other way to do it and get an accurate looking kit. If KH wants something to model their kit on, I recommend getting Paul Fisher's 1/32 kit. Paul is a true craftsman and an artist. His work is fantastic. Edited September 30, 2013 by Jennings Heilig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Jennings is spot on on his comment on drawings. General arrangement drawings are just that. Not for accuracy just to show where things are. Detail drawings also are for particular parts, not the whole thing. Even original Supermarine spitfire GA drawing are not accurate. I cant believe you just advised one company to copy another's product though! Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennings Heilig Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I cant believe you just advised one company to copy another's product though! I don't think I did. But in any event, what's the difference in doing that and modeling it on the product made by Grumman? He's not doing a competing product (different scales). Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
