noeyedears Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 If you need a boost then this is the kit to get the enjoyment going again. Academy threw everything at this one. It falls together and has wonderful, perfectly-fitting decals to produce a great looker right out of the box. With careful use of tamiyas white and green glues the only filler needed was around the intakes where they meet the body, around the gun blanking plate, and a bit of thinned white glue around the front of the windscreen to get a nice smooth blend. Being an airshow plane its always clean and shiney, even in the wheelwells so no problems there. I did do a panel wash but it just didnt look nice over the decals so i removed it. I used aftermarket seats and engine but TBH there is no need unless you are really fussy about your seats. Decals worked best with microset and very very very careful use of microsol here and there. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) very nice! is the nozzle form Aires or Wolfpack-D? one questions about the Smokewinders (or did you use the missile bodies?), aren't they mounted on missile launchers normally?or am I missing something? absolute stunning, shiny build!!

noeyedears Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 very nice! is the nozzle form Aires or Wolfpack-D? one questions about the Smokewinders (or did you use the missile bodies?), aren't they mounted on missile launchers normally?or am I missing something? absolute stunning, shiny build!! There are two tyes of wingtip "winders" in the box. The one I used is the one the display aircraft use which has a light on the end and a shaped body. There is no launcher as such. There is a small adapter with two tiny nav lights between it and the wingtip. There are drawings of this plane with the wrong tip winder/ rail attached which I assume are for the normal t50 trainer. And yes it's the wolfpack can and seat.Thanks for looking in ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(would not have made sense to have smokewinders when you already have a on-board smoke system installed with pipes running along the nozzle....) and the smokewinders are used on some protoype versions for display... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
