Re: Matchbox 1/72 Saab J29 F Tunnan by speedgraflex

Did I send more than one engine-blade-part for the 190TL to you? If yes you might consider to bash it for your Saab.
Again, just a thought.

Re: Matchbox 1/72 Saab J29 F Tunnan by speedgraflex

Hi Bruce, you know I've built this kit some years ago. On page 34ff of the following build-report you might get some inspiration for your model as ad-on while you actually don't need any. https://www.flugzeugforum.de/threads/4bs-bollekens-bunte-bastelbude-diverse-projekte-in-1-72.87187/page-34 You c...

Re: Matchbox 1/72 Saab J29 F Tunnan by speedgraflex

Very interesting process. I will put it on my list of decent procedures. I always use Tamiya Extra Thin for melting the edges of self-drawn panel lines. I am a bit late for a recommendation of filling Matchbox-panel-great-canyons. It is always a pain in the neck when you have done anything and then,...

Re: Matchbox 1/72 Saab J29 F Tunnan by speedgraflex

Bruce, it is cool to see you building a Saab Tunnan! Well guys, it is Matchbox. Often the oversized panel lines of those old Matchbox kits are monitored. Sure, they are. If you want to build a more accurate Tunnan, you should go with Tarangus or even Heller. Nevertheless if you accept the Matchbox c...

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex

Well Bruce, wise words. I think ​it is good to keep a part of your youth alive—the good memories. Building models, after all, is just a symbol of a positive piece of the past. ​Life is meant for creating memories. Because memories are what remain when we are gone. They are what define our soul. So y...

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex

Took a while since I have read your progress, Bruce. I guess once you are finished you will get a wonderful replica of the famous Camel.

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex

I wonder when the figures I have sent might arrive at yours Bruce....
Hoping further one of them might fit or if you can make them fit. Let's see.

Greetings from Yorkshire, England.

Re: Revell H-291 by speedgraflex

Oh my! :hmm: Let’s see what Marius thinks. Well I am currently checking the target dimensions. x, y = 12.7 mm does not match the 28 mm in z-dirrction. I would suggest to set the x and y to 17.5 mm, means 25.47 in z. I am adding the head in the same customised scale to check against the predicted 38...
