    Looking good so far.
  3. Curt B started following Eduard P-51B/C Royal Class and When will we be blessed with an F-86H in 1/48th scale?
  4. Curt B
    As a huge fan of the F-86, I'd be happy to see ANY variant in 1/48 scale in a new, state-of-the art tooling. Of course, I'd also love to see a 1/48 styrene XP-67 Moonbat model, also! 🙄

    I just placed my order with h SprueBrothers for the subject kit. I was pretty sure that it didn't make sense to spend the extra money above the Eduard Overlord Dual Combo kit for the P-51B/C, but it looked like the Dual Combo kit sold out almost as fast as SprueBrothers got it in stock! Plus, the Eduard site shows the Royal Class kit already discontinued. I'm sure I bit on the info that was designed to get people to buy, but at least I'm getting a few extra decal schemes, plus a bunch of resin, soon-to-be aftermarket items like seats, along with the planes. Eduard got me as soon naps I s

    Hi Ichitoe! Ideally I was hoping to get the VA-55 set, but would take the VA-34 too. I'm trying to get everything together for one of the Eldorado Canyon birds. Do you happen to have some to spare? Many thanks either way!
  7. Dutch
    Dave any updates? I am interested to see your progress.

    Which squadron decals are you after from the sheet?

    Andy, Very interesting photo. A prototype hauling a prototype? And KC-130T 163310 has a WB tailcode. Is this new for VX-20? It was last used by VMO-6 from 1948 until disestablished in 1977.

    Hi Jeff, Yes, I'm still interested and no, I haven't found them elsewhere. VERY sorry about the delay in responding, I regrettably was called out of town because of my job and am now back up on comms. So, are you interested in a trade or can you tell me what you want for both sheets, it will cut down my list quite a bit? I DO appreciate the help with this, sometimes my job gets a little demanding of my time with some spur of the moment assignments but hopefully, I can really devote some time to the hobby after retirement! Can you cont

    A little more progress. I will will have to paint the gray on the decal to dark gull gray to match the rest. Dai

    Greetings Friday everyone, Started the project today using Eduard' Space 1 set. Interesting discovery... Eduard's provides the correct dimensions for the vertical side panels (PE parts 25/26). However when the cockpit tube is inserted into the fuse, these stand at a weird angle. These side panels should be perpendicular to the cockpit floor rather at a 30 degree stance. The reason is because the instrument panel should be tilted forward but on the kit, it is perpendicular to the cockpit tube. As such that causes the side panels to be off and cannot be used. Luckily I have a spare k

    Kinetic #48160 F-16A/B ROCAF Missing Decals?

     

    Raymond,

     

    I ordered the Kinetic Gold F-16A/B Block 20 ROCAF kit #48160 through www.squadron.com  After receiving the kit, I observed that this kit #48160 has the same markings as kit #48055 since the markings guide and one of the decal sheets has 48055 printed on them.

     

    When I received my #48160 kit I noticed it was missing one of the three decal sheets that appear to be included in #48055.  My kit #48160 contained these two sheets:

    but this third sheet was not included:

     

    https://www.1999.co.jp/itbig39/10397673n12.jpg

     

    I requested a replacement sheet from Brandon at Squadron, he replied that all of the #48160 kits he received from Kinetic only had the first two decal sheets.  Without the third sheet none of the ROCAF decal options in this kit can be built, including the scheme depicted in the box art.  Should this third sheet have been included in kit #48160?  And if so, how can I obtain the third sheet to complete my kit?

    Thanks to all for the kind reviews and future encouragement… as slow as I build, I need it..! Yeah, the Fujimi Mig-21 1/72 series was the gold standard at the time. I remember thinking how expensive they were (insert laugh track here!). I think they can still “hold their own” today, even though Eduard has far surpassed them I’m sure. And true DET1460, their MiG-21MF really wasn’t one!😎

    Habu is correct. 441 squadron was the red force on a Maple Flag exercise in the late 90s. Most of the squadron airframes got these markings and bort #s from 00 to 12.

    It does!

    Amazon does seem to be struggling. I preordered through them (.ca) a year ago, and received a copy a couple weeks ago. The only problem was that they shipped it in a padded envelope and decided to beat the crap out of it. The spine of the book was badly damaged. I asked them to replace it, which they agreed to, but they have no estimate for when or if they will ever actually have more stock. Its a beautiful book, and I'd really prefer a non-damaged copy. We'll see what happens...

    Mine will be here this afternoon according to Amazon. Special Book for me as I was at RAF UH on 15 April 1986. My shop maintained the ALQ-137 jammers on the EF-111A. Interesting to see if the Ghost Rider mission to Goose Bay Canada by the F-111E from RAF UH 6 months earlier is covered. This mission proved the F-111 Legs with individual Tanker support. John

    Amazon.nl just pushed mine back to 4-5 Nov! Wtf are they on? Cancelling with them, and lokking for another source! Just checked, and I suspect they couldn't/wouldn't sell it at the ordered price, as it seems to have increased by 50%! Between this and Dana Bell's Corsair books it seems nigh on impossible to order these books.

    MRP colours are compatible with Mr Levelling Thinner if thinning is required… but they spray perfectly straight from the bottle through my 0.2mm brush at c12psi.

    Very nice build. Love that camo job. I like the Fujimi Migs, esp the panel lines. Hasegawa quality and very nice to build.

    SCOOTTHLDR, I will add a small light on top of the sign since it will help with blending it with the building(thanks for that). I appreciate your help. YOUNGTIGER1 i have listened to your suggestion and tried the sign the other way and it is confusing to me however your suggestion made me think of adding 2 small signs facing outside on the actual chain link fence so thanks for that.Thanks fellows for watching this build.

    Habu: definitely came to mind when I saw it for sure... but I'm sure Shawn has some background info on this scheme... I've never seen that scheme before and I'm really curious as to it's origin or reason for existence... -Greg

    With the Bort #s on the nose and the red insignia it looks to me like it might be an “aggressor” or “adversary” scheme.
