RVHP models

[GTX]

That Be-12 "Mail". I could use a couple. Gekko made some pretty cool whif profiles for 'em.

You do know the JMSDF actually looked into buying Be-12s instead of developing the Shin Meiwa?

Oh, that has to be profiled or modeled - someone???

Greg

On my second conversion kit,  the first being the Lockheed Constellation AEW/AWACS which comprises of three resin parts. The rotodome stand and two halves of the rotodome.
Which don't fit flush when glued together.
The second kit is the Grumman C-2 Greyhound;  fuselage halves,  rear loading ramp, tail fins and windscreen.
Did a dry test and there is a gap between the two fuselage halves,  is this a common trait with resin kits?
Anigrand seems to be the same especially the Martin SeaMaster kit .

Yes, they do tend to warp and shrink a bit.

But you can either bend them straight with the hot water treatment, or sand them flat like a vacform. Both methods have their downsides of course, but it's worth trying one or the other, depending on the level of warpage etc.
