Thanks southwestforests and King Vodka for your comments!

Hi All, A fellow aircraft modeler who also does Sci-Fi got me interested in Star Trek modeling. I just received an AMT Enterprise D kit, #8793. It was listed as a 1:1400 kit from where I purchased it but the box is marked as 1:650 scale. It's even listed on ScaleMates with the 1:1400 kits and you can see a pic with the 1:650 on the box. The kit measures out to the dimensions listed listed in several places for the 1:1400 kit. Does any one know the history behind this apparent misprint on the box for this kit. Thanks! John

Thank you, Niels! I did look at the Maestro Models website but didn't know exactly what I was looking for. Just placed an order with Hannants! Thanks for the help! John

Hi All, I'd like to dress up my Special Hobby Viggens with some munitions. The kits have the pylons but no launch rails. After an hour or so of web search looking for info on this subject and not finding much I thought I'd ask for help. I did find one photo in a walk-around of a missile on an inner pylon but there was no reference to the launch rail. I also looked at accessories available in several online suppliers but didn't come up with anything. Can anyone tell me what kind of launch rails were used on the Viggen for the Swedish version of the AIM-9B and AGM-65? Are there any suitable

Hi Jim, email sent re: Hase F-18D John

I suggest you also take a look at this resource... https://www.tornadosig.com/ Check out "Modelling the Tornado" and "About the Tornado". They have a link to the forum and their Facebook page discussion area. The forum has some discussions/information but the discussions have moved to their Facebook page. You don't have to be an IPMS member to participate. John

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks! Ordered one last night!

Hi All, I have several photographic/reference publications for IDS/ECR/F.3/GR.1 Tornados. None of them have any reference to the GR.4. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks! John

Bump! I would take an Italeri single seat Typhoon canopy if you have a spare!

This is for the Revell tool Eurofighter, kit #04568.

I requested a replacement from Revell of Germany and they are not available; out of stock and not being produced. Does anyone have a spare or one from a trashed kit you could provide me with? I'll gladly pay for one or even trade a kit for one. To be clear I'm looking for only the canopy and instead of paying for it I have a few kits I would trade for just the canopy. Please PM me or email me at jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net if you can help me out. Thanks! John

Hi All, I found these two kits while cleaning out my closet this afternoon! A friend found them at a yard sale and gave them to me several years ago and I forgot about them. The latest copyright date on the boxes is 1973. I'm not a collector so I'd like to pass them on. I'm asking $25 each or both for $45; make an offer if you want. Payment by PayPal Friends and Family preferred; USPS money orders or well concealed cash will work as well. Will ship by USPS Priority, at cost, as tracking and insurance is included. PM me or send an email to jm190(at)metrocast(dot)net.
