You’re being pedantic and nonsensical.

"The H never flew in combat..." - an observation, along with, "The F-86H is not a transport aircraft". So irrelevant then.

Who said it was an obsession? It’s merely an observation. Nobody said “less worthy” either. You’re projecting both of those ideas onto other people, and putting words into their mouths. If there was truly a perceived market, someone would do it. And for the record, I still don’t think Tamiya will do an F-35C.

Probably environmental bleed into the gray. You're prob ably correct on the color.

He literally said "besides on eBay" because of limitations and cost.

When building my AMP/Micro-Mir KC-10, I found it useful to use sprue frames to spread the fuselage a bit so it would more easily match the lower fuselage.

Yeah, but thankfully a pair of Tomcats were able to fend them off and save his life...for a while. 🙂

For any other photos, you would need to contact RedHome Aviation. I found him on FaceBook. He lives near Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City and that's where he gets most of the photos he posts. Seems like a cool guy.

Thanks Kursad! I was hoping for more, but it looks like a half way decent sheet. I do love the old Revell circle decals for the stands.

I've seen models where the well and inside of the speedbrake is red, but never seen a photo or video of it. Can anyone confirm the color? I have a model that I'm getting ready to paint and I'm at the point where I need to comfirm this color. It certainly looks great in red, but is that accurate? Thanks!

I have to admit I hadn't noticed the fuselage curvature on the Hasegawa kit but can confirm Jeffrey is correct. I'd say it's not noticeable, having compared two completed models (Airfix and Hasegawa) earlier today. But once you see something.... Anyway the Clear Prop! fuselage doesn't feature the bulge/curvature, so all good. And N-15 (15-N) is correct: hosted by Kaena Models.

In addition to this forum, eBay will always be a great resource. I've found pretty much everything I've wanted there. It may take months or years, but you'll find them.

I've got the sheets: SuperScale 72-615 & SS 72-620

Good on both fronts 🙂 First that you can create an E but also that the cross section of the ClearProp kit is good (meaning without Hasegawa's error) since Airfix used a 3D scan to check against. Shapes being the only real plus side of that kit. I've had it in my hands but still decided against buying one...maybe should get one now 🙂. And several ClearProp As of course. J

Yes, there is a trade stand at N 15 but it is for : Kanea Models N - 15 There is absolutely no mention anywhere that it is for Clear Prop! If a visitors wants to find this table then have a look here: N 15 is up on the balcony in the main sports hall Best regards Gabor

A quick check of the F-86A parts against the Airfix aft section looks promising. It's not a definitive answer (I'll see if I can check on precise profiles) but the fuselage depth looks similar enough that it shouldn't be too difficult to match up and get a quick and easy (ish) F-86E.

Seems much more likely indeed!

Clear Prop! at Arena trade place 15N.

Here are the two other marking options for the new Annetra Mi-17 helicopter kit. It will have its premiere at Moson show this weekend. Best regards Gabor

Awesome details, looking good.

Thanks guys. Now spending time on making the grills as smooth as possible with the skin of the bird, before giving her a round of primer and start the real paint job.

Dear Sabrejet! WHERE will ClearProp be presenting the new kit at Moson???????????????????????????????? The Moson show is a "fairly big" event with two big halls and three vendors areas!!!! It is like search for a needle in the haystack? They (ClearProp) are not on the list of participants/vendors! So WHERE will they show the new kit or ideas about it?????????????? Best regards Gabor

Why would it have dark blue parts? I think it’s just a fresh coat of Gunship Gray on some parts they had to replace at the depot level restoration in Oklahoma. Tinker AFB and other sites have high resolution photos that clearly show the color to be plain old Gunship Gray. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/ghost-rider-and-wise-guy-the-only-two-b-52h-bombers-regenerated-from-boneyard-undergoing-simultaneous-maintenance-at-oklahoma-city-air-logistics-complex/

What's the obsession with 'never been in combat'? Are these types (which folks worked and often died whilst flying) somehow less worthy? It's a strange non-argument.
