QUOTE(strikermac @ Sep 2 2014, 08:06 AM) Helicopter Size Comparison sample picture have been add on 1st page. Anyone who have question and wonder about any helicopter size can have a look at there.  the chinook is much smaller than i imagined... especially when compared to an attack helicopter such as the apache! but thanks, strikermac for the comparison chart. it sure does put things into perspective (and give me a massive headache as to where to display my future models!)  |

QUOTE(strikermac @ Sep 2 2014, 08:44 AM) NP bro, buy more cabinet will do.  Good luck for you then.  actually comrade blu3hamm3r has already given me a solution... but been so lazy to hunt for additional glass shelves/brackets. besides, my helicopter collection is only secondary  |

QUOTE(pokdell @ Sep 10 2014, 01:53 PM) I went to collect my issue 13 and free gift at allscript yesterday. We can buy up to issue 21.
but there's no more free gift for subscription, no more free 1 issue when subscribe.
Yellow Augusta is out of stock, so they replace mine with apache kiowa and super cobra/viper her i come! wah, pokdell... you went there and didn't get poisoned? how come your haul only your subscription models? no interest in the viper?  This post has been edited by WingNut: Sep 10 2014, 02:01 PM |

missing radome gave it away, huh? then again... it could just have been that the radome got detached. due credit to strikermac! very sharp eyes indeed! you'll be an asset to any recon team...

although blue sidewinders are for training purposes only, they sure make an awesome contrast on the viper! and the us coast guard colour scheme on the dauphin is equally impressive!

QUOTE(strikermac @ Sep 12 2014, 08:42 AM) I see, I dun know about that blue sidewinders is for training purposes. Thanks for the knowledge, mate.  i think the modellers will be able to shed more light on this but if i'm not mistaken, the ring colors around the sidewinders are as follows: blue are inert and brown/yellow is for live (propulsion/warhead). needless to say, an all red sidewinder is universal... it means RUN FAR FAR. |

QUOTE(ytTuck @ Sep 16 2014, 12:01 AM) Wait, is it too much of a coincidence that mine had the same defect?? Supposedly: 2 Rotors with short rotor pin; 2 Rotors with 'long' rotor pin My package: 3 rotors with short pin, 1 with long pin. I solved mine by sanding, with a fine sanding paper, the rotor pin at the hub really gently until the rotor fits in. Remember to mask of the other sections while sanding to prevent any unwanted scratches or paint damages  yttuck... you're right! i didn't even realised there were two different pin types until you pointed it out! i've got the same combo... 3 short and 1 long. considering to have it replaced rather than going through the trouble of sanding the pins. anyway, anyone has any advice as to how the **** do you fix the rotors on the aloutte iii without snapping the pins??? |

QUOTE strikermac,Sep 16 2014, 04:32 PM] I lucky get my Viper without problem and correct rotor pin. But the... my other collection (tank) they send me was damaged and miss part model without checking. Waiting for replacement... don't know if AllScript will do the rite on this one. Afraid their "service"... i guess those who got 3 long sockets and 1 short one wouldn't have any problems... it's those with 3 short socket ones that will face assembly issues. i dunno about you guys but their counter service is excellent. they will tell you to look out for the common defects (if they're not too busy, that is). so i always prefer going over to their office instead of them sending the items over. |

QUOTE(Jane's @ Sep 16 2014, 11:17 PM) Wow! I had the same problem with my set as well! I used sand paper to sand the hubs also, and it was quite an easy fix. Bro WingNut, trust me, it's really an easy fix, you just have to be gentle You are right about the counter staff, they are indeed very courteous and soft-spoken. Dealt with a very nice Malay lady whom i failed to get her name tho. no la... wasn't going to make the trip to allscript just to change the viper. i've got issues with my jetranger, dauphin and aloutte too.  |
