janneman36 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Is the big planes kit so bad that we need a full resin one? Must confess the new resin looks good in the CAD drawings so I am certainly curious how it develops! Been on their site and the detail looks impressive.. cheers, Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The detailing on this resin kit look splendid indeed but, afaic, I will still go the plastic route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vingtor Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Looks very nice! The undercarriage being resin, will it carry the full weight of the model? Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if they cast it in steel. I too am wondering how much it will weigh. I would have thought a hollow shell might have been more practical.

We are still behind schedule(no deliveries yet!) but we've been busy making sure all of the parts meet our and your expectations. Notes about the photos - some of you will receive kits with white casted parts but we decided to cast them all in gray from now on. You'll also receive a number of directly 3D printed detail pieces(such as landing gear legs, antennas/probes and the wheel well detail insert). These will come as frosted, amberish clear parts and some may need a light sanding prior to priming or painting. In some of the photos, I've painted the frosted detail parts a dark gray to bring out the details. We'd like to be further along but there have been some obstacles that we've overcome to make these kits happen! I'll be sending out a newsletter shortly with more news along with a proper photo shoot of the "prototype" all put together. You can sign up for our newsletter at the bottom of our home page.

Cockpit glass master V3.0 is due back soon, which will be the last piece of the puzzle. Should give an idea of how the kit will look out of the box. V.P.

I emailed Neil with a query a few months ago and he was very quick to reply. I contacted him a week or two ago to see if there was any progress,but no reply. I hope all is well over there.Happy to wait. Also concerned about the weight on 3D printed U/C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
