I'm starting a new line of Steel Beach products and wanted to show what I'm going after. I know many of you build inflight and getting the doors closed can be a hassle. I'm going to do a variety of plugs that simply fit in the gear bay and you're essentially done. On some of them you'll need to put the doors on if the doors fit well and have a thin edge. On kits where the doors don't fit or have multiple, complex doors, they will already be molded in. I'm going to try and do most of them with the doors already molded on. Here's one of the first sets I'll be releasing. It's for the 1/48 scale Hasegawa F-14. Excuse the gouge by the front gear doors. It was an errant slip of the X-Acto!
I'm also thinking of making plugs that have specific diameter holes so all you would have to do is drill a whole the size of the rod you're going to use, glue the plug over the hole, and then simply slide the rod into the plug and you're good to go. I'd love some feedback on that before I get started. If you have other ideas, please let me know.
