Jan - April 2016 Gb: Modern Jets. Chat Thread.

[Robert1968]

This runs to the end of April Robert, don't worry about it. OOB (Out Of Box) is fine. I have no intentions of getting anything extra for my entry and, Polux is dead right, these GBs are about having fun so chill and make it a stroll not a marathon

Star ( that's my intention is to go OOB as I never really done a jet but I wanted to participate. I'm sure everything will be fine.


Great bunch of helpful chaps on here

Hi Tony ( don't want to be a bore but I defo go for this kit. I'm not really used to working with pe sets so I'm a bit daunting on what's the best way to go ( IE is OOB enough to get it done or better to go with the cockpit upgrades ( it does look nice) and the pitot?
Also I note they mostly look a uniform grey in colour so colour ref will need to be sought so I think John may be getting some colours from me.


Worst of all at the moment I'm A/ B less as compressor is dead and buried, waiting on a new one from John but that's not till end of Feb ( aghhhh)


Oh the complexity of modelling.

My bad robert. , the way i worded it was a bit misleading , what i meant was the small pe fret and brass pitot are included in the box. Have a look at my build thread for the j10as , theres a pic of whats in the box , the PE is basically just seat belts and a few tiny bits so nothing to worry about , cheers tony

That's helpful, I just thought when on the site of course there's add ons etc and as graham pointed out its not a race etc.


I've taken the plunge now so it's on it's way to me Bronco J10A single seat fighter ( looks a nice kit in reviews )I tried looking at the trumpeter version but from reviews the kits are very sim just the trump has more equipment in stores etc ( I don't want to spend tons of money on a first jet )but want to make a good attempt at least and seeing as it's til the end of April I'll get my new compressor from John and all relative stuff together.


Thanks again for the help and advice

There you go Robert. Bit of positive thinking and the chillometer needle hits 'cool' That's the way to look at modelling

[Robert1968]

After all the decisions and complications which I hence say we're mine I have decided to go with this kit for my entry and thankyou to all the helpers in the decision making. Give it a few days for postage and we shall see what I will end up doing with it.


Think I got all the criteria right so wish me luck

Excellent choice Robert


I built some Bronco models (not planes) and they are good!
