Over to Roy Caunce of RC Resins
with some good news for 'Thud' fans:
Just some information as to
where I am at, I now have a website up and running www.rcresins.co.uk
which has new information regarding the forthcoming F-105 products, the next
set out are the Wheels RC32003 which are being cast now, I am hoping to pick
the first batch up on the 11th of Jan, these will be £9.99.
The Nose Cone RC32004 will
follow shortly, the master is done. I had intended to stop with the F-105
parts there but due to numerous requests I am expanding the range with an
Early "D" backdate set and corrected Canopies, a pair of Fuselage
Plugs to aid removal of the ECM pods from the fuselage of the G kit, to enable
an F to be made, maybe even a boarding ladder.
This should keep me busy for a
while, but I am hoping to follow on with some A-10 parts (which have not been
done by anyone else!!) for the Trumpeter kit again.

Courtesy of RC Resins, here we
have the first in a series of planned cast resin accessories for the Trumpeter
F-105 kits (amongst others!)
Set RC32001 Provides a
replacement fin for the incorrect item in the F-105G Kit (chord is too narrow
in the kit - see review here)
Here's the RC Resin fin (right)
compared to the Trumpeter item (left):
Casting quality really is first
class - will be a straight fit after removing the small pour stub area.
Set RC32002 (shown
above) Provides a set of external details which include: Seamless Air Intakes
(with Variable Ramp mechanism), replacement ventral fin, replacement exhaust
petals, afterburner cooling intakes and avionics bay intake - the latter
specific to the F-105G.
Sample received did not include
the intake parts, but I'm sure the standard of these components is as good as
the rest of the set.
Verdict? Very Highly
recommended - we wish RC resins every success in the future!
These sets are
available directly from the manufacturer - Roy Caunce at: rcresins@btopenworld.com
