As the title suggests i'm building a British Phantom. However i've looked over the kit and noticed that the cockpit could do with updating a little,
So if anyone has any Eduard/Aires sets for the Phantom i'd be willing to buy/trade them,
Also i'm looking for any decal sheets for 92 sqn (yep, the blue one)
Thanks for looking,
Mat.

Typically when carrying this mix of GBU-12 (500lb paveway 2) and GBU-38 (500lb JDAM) it seems that the smaller and less bulky JDAMs get loaded closer to the fuselage, presumably as these stations are more restricted for space around them and as such weapons loading is easier with the smaller bombs. The larger paveway IIs are more commonly are hung on the middle or outer wing pylons.
Personally I find the asymmetric loads seriously ugly, but they seem very common indeed!
So on the 3 wing pylons, the GBU-38's would be on the inboard left, and the remaining pylons would be taken up with GBU-12's? Or would there be a different mix?

I'm looking to do (as the title says) a F/A-18E as my next model, i'm not really sure about weapons that are mounted on US Navy jets.... Was wondering if anyone could help?

I've already posted this on the arms trade, but like other people, i'm expanding the search. If anyone has this, and is willing to part with it, i'll glady pay/trade for it, including postage to the UK.
I've already emailed DrPepper, but heard nothing back from him, so i'm trying again....
Many thanks,
Mat.

I'm fairly new to this, so i'm sorry if i've upset anyone... If it all goes as planned i'll be posting in the other forum, and deleting this post...... Thanks for all your input.
Many thanks

I'd like to apologise to Mike for over reacting, and as the title suggests ' I'm an IDIOT '

As the title says.. I'm after the port side HTS Pod from the Kinetic kit. If anyone has one of these going spare i'd gladly take it off their hands.
Any offers, just post or PM me.
Thanks

I like that a lot, this is one aircraft that has really earned its living, lovely job, particularly making it look like the ram jets actually belong on there, some excellent fit there, or some rather impressive sanding and dry fitting! Either way, its come out superbly.
The Ram Jets are actually a REALLY good fit, and only required a little filling and sanding to make the fit really well.
and thanks for the comments!!

Just a quick question..... does the Italeri 'E' version have the same problems?

Hi there, just like to say 'AMAZING JOB!!!!!!'. I'll be starting an F-16 from the same FW shortly, and i asked around about the 'Have Glass' finish, and this is what some kind person replied......

I did an experiment, and this seemed like the best approach. Paint it normally, then drybrush and weather the snot out of it with white or light gray. Apply decals, then suspend some acrylic silver in Future....just a smidge, and mist it on. Flat coat as normal. The paint looks like metail flake, but putting the silver directly into the gray lightens it and doesn't look "right". You want the flakes over the paint.
Hope this helps.

Here's some pictures of my 1:48 He-162.....

Looking very good! I'm looking forward to seeing more! Everything look's great, dont think you need any more help to make better models. The cockpit and wheel wells look great, love the details.
What paint did you use to get that finnish? I'm really curious about the paint, more details as far as your methods, please.
The wings are just pre-shaded with black, then sprayed with Tamiya Aluminium (which needs another coat). The bare metal was done using ALCLAD II Chrome over a gloss black enamel. The only thing with ALCLAD is that it will show up any imperfections, so i had to do an absolute ton of filling and sanding before i applied the black undercoat.

Scale? long or short pod?
It's for an F4-G... so i think it's a long pod (but if you know for otherwise, feel free to correct me)
-
Hi i'm after an ALQ-184 (as the title said).. I believe that Shull24 used to do one... If there is one going spare send me a PM or email me......

I've just recieved the Afterburner Decal sheet 'The Big 22'..... Looking through the info, it talks about a 'Have Glass' finish to the aircraft, i was wondering if any of you out there know how to replicate this on a model...
Many thanks
