Homebee Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 D-Mold correction set Source: http://www.dmold-modelworks.com/contents/en-us/d2_04.html Quote One more release by us is the correction set for the new 1/48 HUP-1/2 kit. This offering by the small AMP company has been pretty welcomed on the market, however the model suffers from various, big and small fuselage shape issues. One of the most visible issues is the top of the tail that needs to be replaced, and this correction set allows to fix this higly visible issue easily and fast.

Mike Esposito Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) Hmmm. Didn't realize that it was that far off. However, after looking at the real thing, the AMP kit looks good. Nothing a little styrene can't fix. Edited April 28, 2021 by Mike Esposito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I know that D-Mold are a one-man band but they are one of the most frustrating companies to try and get stuff from. If anybody knows the owner please suggest a pre-order button for items OOS, The 48th Skyray stuff is unobtainium and I've been waiting since they were released. I got the B-57B correction through a friend and it's beautiful so it's worth waiting for. I'm concerned that we may have the same issue with other parts he offers. I'm a little concerned that the main section of the fuselage appears to be parallel. It isn't as can be seen on the underside photo and GA drawing on Tommy's post. If not I'll have to resort to Plan A and see about widening the fuselage not easy. Tailspin Turtle has most of the information needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to get his Stoof parts for a year or six, in vain so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
