SAT69 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I wonder how hard it would be to build the COD version from this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I am glad to see they are doing the Marine decals as current users. I spoke to a guy in the Air force and they did not like the plane as it was a maintenance pig but the Marines will get the most out of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfgred1 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Temptation, temptation...devilish temptation....... For sure, the folding option will help a lot since it is a big one... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsbrown Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I like the folding option. First aftermarket resin will need to be the life raft. And it has the cover plate on the chaff dispenser. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold55 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 5 hours ago, Stephen said: They might not like it but they need it. 100% agree. The article is a very good example of why this is needed as it provides a capacity that no other aircraft has. The guy I spoke with was in maintenance so his view i am sure was colored by that but in any case like it or not they have nothing else that could perform these types of missions so it will be in service until a replacement arrives, which could be decades out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) Here is a link on operating cost per flight hour for US aircraft. Second graph is the most expensive aircraft to operate, its interesting. Osprey costs more per hour than the B1-b (Cheapest one to operate is the A-10) https://fighterjetsworld.com/air/maintenance-operating-costs-per-flight-hour-of-militarys-fighter-jets/11995/ But still a great aircraft when you need it to do a specific job.

plasticguy Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The 2 only blocking points for me were the surface it takes and if it was a HB A team project. Hobbyboss A team✔️ Wingfold and workable options.✔️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 48 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Tempted, £100 ish kit though, physically big too for display purposes perhaps? never seen one in real life, how would it compare to say a 1/32 Mustang for display and shelf size? a 1/32 WW2 fighter is as large as I'm prepared to go for aircraft kits these days. I thought the kits interior looked sparse, but so does a real ones LOL Tempted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticguy Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 A way better review than the Flory's one, with better part shots: Parts, details and rivets are really nice and fine, it's really the HB A-team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen them at operational squadrons and on the production line while they were being built while I was training at Bell Helicopters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One 48 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I can just about spare £100 ish for this just now, just bought a Kinetic 1/48 AV8A to join my Harrier family, and been considering the HK 1/32 Lancaster nose kit that apparently goes for about £100 ish as well, what to do ?

Only F-14B and B-24D is bigger in my collection of 1/72nd birds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
