The description of modding p-38 ldg gear must have been on another persons topic...but if interested i`ll describe it once more

hi Kagnew-klick on tiger1 to see my previous posts,and scroll down to read how i modified my p38 ldg gear,this really improved the model immensly....

Hi guy`s-one thing thats bugging me;i once built the b25 from monogram in 1-48,and i remembered that i had to build it with solid nose in order to have enough weights in the nose to balance the model on it`s wheels... The model got so heavy that the ldg`s could barely support it..that makes me wonde...

Yes- in fact i will not buy another model (except for the Dauntless) until a f-5 arrives-the F-4 and the Skyraider will just be to big for my liking....
I think-maybe...Anyway-give me a A4 Skyhawk,F-5,Hurricane and a Harrier,and i`ll be among the first in the line......

Just recieved my avenger,and the wings are sagging,ruining the whole model,even if it`s a very nice model,this distract me so much.I`m going to sell mine .Annoying to know how much effort that has been put in this mechanism,and still it`s not working properly.It would have been better to mold the wi...

I mean the wheels are not aligning with a/c centerline-I know the gears are set at an angle,but the wheels should not have this" toe" out.this is not a problem on the gustav,where they have got the geometrics right...

Hi Guy`s just recieved my desert bf109E,and was dissapointed with the mlg wheel stance-a huge "toe out"-anybody tried to correct this?

i`ve been working abroad the last 6weeks,and have not had any access to this-my favorite site,so i`m not updated,but what is this?? out of production?never to be released again??? i`ve pasted and glued to get this in,but scroll down and read what this seller say.... home | pay | register | sign in |...

i`ve just improved my F86,that You could benefit from:I split the mainwheels and pushed the axle from the wheel,put the axle thru the wheel from the inside,and fixed the axle on the oleo,thus having a wheel turning on an axle,instead of a wheel and axle turning in the oleo. the result is much less "...

And think about it;two additonal lines one hisorical,and one civil-with future models like Bell x-1,X3 Stiletto,Ryan`s Spirit of St Louis and so forth in the historical range,and Cessna Skylane,Beech Bonanza,king air(could even be painted in military version)and a Gates Learjet -now this would reall...

How about a X-15 and small civil one ,like a Cherokee or somthing-now these would sell like hotcakes-the X-15 to any aviationbuff,and a Cherokee that would include collectors of 1:18 diecast cars in a way that big fighters do not. perhaps. i think. 8) I would personally like these choises very much...

The line from the windshield forward is broken by the intake section-it should be a conform smooth line-look at admiral,or any pic. of the f-86..

Better,but sadly still off-to my eyes anyway.

Hi guy`s my theory is that this plane was taking more effort then planned, and then the admiral came along,and most of the energy was pushed over to 21st f86/mig 15 project in order to try to "arrest"the admiral f86 sales- and keeping the avenger on idle,since it`s most unlikely the competition woul...

Hi,guy`s,i was just wondering why nobody has commented on the intake shape on the 21st version;has the intake tunnel blinded You?The intake shape is way off on the prototype pics,too sharp edges and to exaggerated triangular fuselage shape???The a/t version are not perfect either,but it captures the...

Hi guy`s,Ihave now managed to shoot some pix of my models/workbench
ect.but i don`t know how to post them here,so what i can manage is to e-mail them to one of You,that knows how to post it here....
Brgds tiger1

Hi there Hun-do You have pics of the 190a?

Hi Guy`s,I`m Daniel aka tiger1.I`m an aircraft engineer with the SAS (scandinavian airlines system)I have my background from the RNoAF as a crew chief on the F-5b(i have about 5hrs of rearseat flying) After a period of building 1:48 aircrafts i switched to 1:18 diecast cars(about 250)about 10 years ...

Hi there,Norwegian partisans were called "gutta på skauen" that translates
to- the boys ON the forest(woods)
-å sounds like the a in Shawn-
Now this ends the Norwegian lesson this week!!!

Hi Guy`s-What i don`t understand is when 21st decided to make a new mold for the p-51 they opted for the D model instead of making an AorB. and for a relatively small investment they could have made two different cockpit hoods(one straight framed,and one blown malcolm hood)thus making more variety f...

You know where this shop is located?

anyone knows where to get a BBI f-16(except evilbay)?
I sold mine,and now regret it badly..........

Hi Jason,and thanks for the updates,I must say;You really take Your future customers seriously-The F86 looks much better now,with the new canopy,and my question is:would You consider making this aircraft in a "roll your own"version-with only basic stenciling,rescue labels- ejection seat labels,so th...

Thanks a lot folkewulfe,most informative,good pics...but the bf109E LDG wheels look like they have a very pronounced "toe out" when extended (at least on the pic`s I`ve seen)BCA have the 109E at reduced price,but the E looks much worse than the G model-(no moveable slats,and generally looks much coa...

Hi Guy`s-on the BCA site it say`s that the flaps on the FW190 are moveable,but someone here said that he had to modify them to be working?are they working or not? Another thing;I really want a ME109E,but the wheels are pointing in all directions on the pic`s I`ve seen(the 109G are not correct either...
