bughunterIn principle it would (I own a Silhouette cutter), but ...
- usually I use ORAMASK 810, but this is to thick to work on the corrugations
- it do not work to apply the Tamiya tape and press it then into the corrugations => it gets to short and moves back into straight
That's why I use slim tape and apply it step by step by pressing with a tooth pick into the corrugations. Even after removing the tape it has still the funny shape. So the marking is in one direction longer as in the other.

Slavo HazuchaJust browsing through my 1400 bells and this came up - wow again - a "Gesamtkunstwerk" 😉 - usually a good BW pic of a Great War plane looks best/most "true to original" but here I really love the color shots... particularly pic 15 - the wooden prop on the dark blue cowling - somehow very special 👍
14 March, 20:28
bughunterThank you Slave for resurfacing this Dolphin!
At that time I tried outdoor pictures from the balcony. Now my way to do the final pictures is much more improved in a better environment.
Hmm, should I redo the pics? Let's see.

bughunterThank you mates! Oh yes, that is still one of my master pieces.
Today I would not scratch the RAF wire terminals as we have now the beautiful resin ones made by Gaspatch. They were not available at that time and I used them a lot on my later builds of British birds.

bughunterOh, you digged out my first biplane 😉 One day I should overhaul it (also because the lower fuselage seam has split open) and add a airscrew made of real wood.
If I remember right the radiator was from a PE set for an Albatros (I think D.III or D.V) by Eduard.
28 February, 19:46
Landlubber MikeSorry to hear that the fuselage seam split open 🙁
For what it's worth, it looks like the Eduard D.III PE set has radiators! Thanks for the information!

bughunterIt had turned out well then, no one was injured. The tornado was not damaged.
But it will take a while, it's just an idea at the moment!
At least I already have the kits for the T3 Bully and the Unimog tow tractor, both in resin. Unfortunately the decals for the Tornado are not available in 1:72! Eduard has just released it in 1:48, I also have the Unimog in 1:48 scale, but there is no VW T3 in 1:48 available.
I hope for the same kit in 1:72 from Eduard (like the "Desert Babes"), then the whole dio won't be so big.

bughunterOn the HLJ page is stated "This item is discontinued and is not expected to come back into stock."
hlj.com/1-48-scale-l..ightning-ii-tam61124
What might be the background for this?
3 January, 08:56
bughunterI asked HLJ and they answered quickly:
"Unfortunately this means that we have taken as many orders as we expect to be able to fill with the amount of product we're likely to receive. Even if we were to accept additional orders at this time, we would not be able to fill them.
There's a chance that the manufacturer may re-release the item, but at this time we unfortunately have no news regarding a reissue."
Interest seems greater than the first edition ...
4 January, 07:15
Cortexwow, I find hard to believe Tamiya won't capitalize on this massive success and re-release even in different version/configuration
4 January, 08:03
Roland RevolvermannThat thing is just ugly 😄 I actually know some who buy ALL new but skip the F-35. Every F-35.
We also had the much cheaper Meng F-35. Here in Germany the Tamiya costs €90+ and the Meng was sometimes available for less than €40. Yes, Meng isn't as good as Tamiya, but it's still a very good and modern kit.
For me, €90 is a price I'm just not willing to pay for a 48 model kit anymore. Especially since there really isn't much to an F-35.
I think Tamiya knows very well that the market for an F-35 is nowhere near as big as for an F-14 or F-4.

Be really warned if you use these "MAUL" lamps, as Spanjaard warned too (see above).

bughunterI ordered two kits before they were sold out. Don't look like easy kits to build, but that's what it says on the box "for experienced modellers". And these were types that are not otherwise available.
I have not found an official statement, but website is gone and the email comes back with unknown address. Question to another email address was not answered 🙁
