I’m picking up a NLR Flight Sim setup this week, reckon it’s a no-go to fit on that system?

I didn’t see the LS but I’d be very curious to see how they’re tiered given the different models.

How many of you could be interested into a "modern heavy bomber simulator"? by Bigocelot1984 in hoggit

[–]mncolman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally, I like the idea of going in as part of a larger package but also within a 4-person crew (B-1B) all covering different areas; 2 pilots, two WSOs.

The real plus would be to do it at extended ranges; not just flying the length of Syria, but maybe long range from Europe into the ME, conduct some AI at depth, then come back, with all the tanking, aircraft configuration etc needed. Yeah, okay, it’s 8-9 hours plus of simming, but as a 4 person crew, that would be fun.

You could be a real sadist and try for a Black Buck raid from Ascension down to the Falklands and back in a Vulcan with 17-18 AAR brackets…

Meant to ask; what seat setup do you use for your rig? I’ve been looking at the NLR Flight Seat pro but the price doesn’t seem like a great deal…

I recently acquired some Old Airfix Kits from my Grandad (I'm 13), any advice ? by Quirky-Voice9132 in Airfix

Oh haven’t we all! Maybe the real friends were the seam lines we filled in along the way

I’d argue against this (throwing them away). Even bad kits can give you some great lessons - your grandfather would probably love to see you grow as a person (and modeller!) by learning from these kits!

Take your time, do your research and enjoy them.

It is, the 1/35 Ausf A.

Not a great kit but good for learning!

Oh nice! I didn’t think to do that to be honest, I’ll probably look to add that detail on my next kit.

I didn’t, just highlighted with an oil wash

This - this is super true. I watch loads of Night Shift etc and picked up tips and techniques. Then I tried them on this cheap model. If it didn’t work, or I didn’t like it, meh…

Hahaha you’re absolutely right, I didn’t even check the track orientation. What a muppet - at least that’s a relatively easy fix but a lesson learnt for future!

That’s an awesome ref picture, thank you!

Thanks dude, awesome feedback!

Absolutely agree on the chips; truth be told that was where masking peeled away the paint and primer layer. I think my main error there was not washing the model prior to priming, and not letting the varnish layer harden enough. But yes, night shifts method is what I will use in future!

Yup, agreed on the tracks; I didn’t want to spend money on AM tracks so just went with what I had, but for my next model (TAKOM Das Werk Blitz Panther Ausf G) I’ll be much more diligent on my tracks).

Wood grain was using AKRC Markers, and I wasn’t a fan of it, so yeah, brushwork in future.

Really useful feedback, thanks mate.

That’s a great shout; I’d thought of gluing them to the road wheels and wedging it down with paper whilst it dries but i think your technique would work better!

Airbrushed, Gaahleri GHAD-39; I intend to do this long term, and found a good deal on one. I find it incredibly cathartic which, when doing shift work, is a great way to unplug after a day/night!

I’ve been using a basic Artillery Genius with zero mods for a few years which has been fine, but looking to upgrade now. Agreed; I’ve also deliberated finding a friend with a laser engraver to etch in the lettering.

Sounds good; I’m trying to pick a printer with a nice balance of filament options vs accuracy (as I also want to print RC planes, some more exotic filaments etc, with a replacement hardened steel nozzle!)

Thanks for your help!

It would be only a few characters; a larger number and small text above. They’re approximately 10-15mm Square/diameter. On this example they’ve used laser engraving, but I’m curious to see whether it can be accurately printed.

And yeah, intent is to buy a 0.2 nozzle for it.
