![]() Yes the tracks need to come off too and go back in the right order (which is opposite to how the kit provides them) but I left them on and moved my way down the wing using the tracks in place to level up the veins as I went. Will ResKit (or ScaleDown) ever come up with a fix to the awful flap issue on the Hobby Boss kit? Bomb bay well doors? It won't match the flap rail layout the other way round on the opposite wing. Besides, the outmost flap vane (the broadest one), is the shorter size. I'm afraid you won't be able to do that without cutting the flap vanes and rails as well, and then it'd be like putting Humpty Dumpty all back together. I think I got a Squadron vac-form alternative two years ago to replace the offending one in the Hobby Boss kit, but I dare not make it fit on the kit escape module. In other words, the mind games my husband's modelling mate was playing on me all weekend were true, after all. Thus the outer flap veins of the starboard wing becomes the inner veins of the port wing. You cut flaps off one by one and put them back on on the opposite side of the model in the opposite order. So yeah I mean apart from being almost completely wrong its alright really. There is nothing wrong with the shape of the escape module except that fact that the front of it where its canopy meets the metal is the wrong shape, the angle of the instrument panel is wrong, the cockpit base in the kit is generic and fits maybe an F-111A best. What about the inverted span of the flaps on the wings then? Is there any way to fix those? He stated that these ResKit sets were supposed to fix the wrong windshield/canopy shape on the Hobby Boss Vark kits because, basically, if one's to use a vac-form aftermarket to correct those wrong shapes, they've got to modify the whole surface where the new clear pieces are to sit on (sort of what on page 1).Īt the same time, said he, the ResKit set comes to offer a better detailed cockpit, but in fact, there's nothing wrong about the shape of the escape module in the Hobby Boss kit. Last weekend a modelling mate of my husband's was playing mind games on me about these sets. Very nice to have learnt there is love for the FB-111As on part of ResKit.
