  1. Right now I wish that Namco could or would have been more creative with their Su-57 schemes Luigi
  2. Hasegawa F-4E/EJ have two pods Hasegawa A-10 comes with a pod made out from a napalm canister Academy OA-37 do also have something similar Modern Hobbies I think it had one but it appears their website it's kinda goner and this pisses me off as I wanted to order a couple of Pave Tack pods and Maverick launchers 😕 Experts Choice committed a error cause their 1/72 instruction pamphlet is the same for both scale and tells you to pick a 1/48 traveling pod from an F-16, on 1/72 you have to go after Hasegawa A-10 or who has an
  3. Hasegawa 1/72 F-16s do not have a travel pod, only kit that comes with a travel pod on every box is the A-10 Luigi
  4. Please consider doing stencils sets for certain aircrafts that are getting the "we ignore 1/72 scale" treatment from other companies or like Revell and Hasegawa which got their marketing department replaced by apes Luigi
  5. At first I was like: Why they painted the tail with a streetball player doing a Leo Strut? Then I freaking noticed the rifle Luigi
  6. What if the tail shape it's a spot on and can be mated to AZ Mig-17 fuselage ? Luigi
  7. I think rocket pods with Aphids can be a certain option, not sure about giving up on them for a R23 and rocket pods on the belly, I scavenged the web for Russian book and magazine scans and the reference material I found it's kinda dull. Military Photos had a great archive from that era but sadly everything it's gone, I think there is no Floggerman to be found anywhere nor I have Linden Hill decal sheet 😕 Luigi
  8. I think is a yes https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/73767-hph-conversion-set-132-mig-23bn-is-officially-out/page/4/ I didn't check the discussion, I don't know how good Trumpeter 1/32 Mig is nor what you get inside, be warned that Mig-23 and 27 (and many others) are kinda particular as rail and pylon adapters do not follow standard rules so you can have for example X missile or bomb Fuselage adapter and rack for X missile or bomb X2 missile or bomb Fuselage adapter for X missile or bomb but Y rack for X2 missile or bomb but also
  9. You mean this whole bunch? http://mig.mariwoj.pl/ Luigi
  10. I'm still wondering if the F-15 receive the F-4 treatment in terms of small panel changes or not, I'll try to raid flickr one of those days cause google search algorithm hit a newer low as in the past writing a bu/no with aircraft's name was enough to score a couple of pictures but right now thanks to those stupid marketeers in charge everything got screwed up. Luigi
  11. I meant the instruction sheet shows you the differences between the wingtips ala "here's the thing you have to modify bro, good luck with that". The kit itself was reboxed by Matchbox or is the Matchbox reboxed, later Revell/Monogram parted ways with that thing and made their own version or two of it as I have spare parts from Monogram boxes which are not identical despite being the same Luigi
  12. I was searching for Revell H-264 boxing camouflage and found wing tips layout in a instruction sheet taken from ebay, sadly I was in sandbox mode and I can't track it down. So far mixing everything up and possibly making errors my findings of "find the difference challenge between production F-15A vs pre MSIP F-15C" are: Cockpit area: Red or orange sealing Instruments panel Ejection seat No ECM so different trunk layout Metallic blue/green/whatever bay Airbrake area: Different shaped plates where the fuselage mets the airbrake Engine are
  13. Was talking about them ^_^ I remember a discussion about those pylons/adapters on the pic here on these forums, unfortunately I can't track it down and I was recently searching for their indicative names so I could scrounge better picks from the net as I no longer have any Tomcat book left on my stash cept for a 2015 international magazine. Anyway many thanks again for your help Luigi
  14. BRU-10 adapter is the name of the earlier bomb rack used by the VF-24 Tomcats during the Red Flag exercise and before that by those Tomcats with 300 gal drop tanks installed on Phoenix pallets which were converted as luggage pods? Luigi
  15. I'm late for the party and I'm sorry, but many thanks again guys! 😄 Also thanks Habu, can't edit to get your quote through 😕 Luigi
  16. 1/72 Hasegawa 1/72 Dropping 1/72 Macros_crap_for_ever 1/72 and_replace_them_with 1/72 Ace_Combat_Special_Aircraft_Kits Luigi
  17. I should have posted a picture of it, sorry 😕 Anyway I was asking if it could fly with just the spacer mounted without the Sidewinder rail on it. For the A-7C my idea was a low visibility bird from the 80's, there are some pictures on wikimedia but the problem is that they are not clear and I'm always excluding museum birds from my researches due them being mix-matched shapes of the former selves Luigi
  18. Since we are here a couple of question: Could the A-7 fly with fuselage Aim-9 rail adapters without them? The bottom of the A-7C fuselage had same lump and bumps of the A-7E or it was something amiss? Luigi
  19. Thanks, gotta scavenge Facebook for it, have joined so many groups that lost track of what I'm following and what I'm not, should make a secondary account just for scale modelling and military related things, but some groups are a tight with newer accounts with not content and I also hate taking pictures of myself and when people doesn't find a picture with my face they just go "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh request denied" I remember those, not sure if I can find instruction scans of them, one option in the Aeromaster decal was also very interesting 😕
  20. From time to time I end up finding some interesting F-104J or F-4EJ sporting some unusual scheme but every single time I try to dig out more pictures nothing comes up...so IT is there a reason of why it's so hard to find pictures and let alone decals in any kind of scale of these two aircrafts? Luigi
  21. Thanks Jonathan, by RF-4EJ I always mean the normal F-4EJ equipped with reconnaissance pods, as for slatted RF-4E I noticed that Hellenic RF-4s have more ECM gigs than normal RF-4E and also have a different serial number, I can still have to find pictures of Turkish RF-4E with slats and I don't remember seeing any of them sporting slats when from time to time come to Decimomannu for exercise, must be rare sights Luigi
  22. Chances are that Hasegawa or Fujimi messed up instruction callings or added the wrong stabs on it, could be wrong but older Hasegawa RF-4EJ comes with normal stabs and I swear that the Thunderbirds boxing I bought years ago also had them together with a mix of grey and white parts in sealed bags. Because I hate myself I'll go through old Koku Fan scans and see if there are any b&w pics showing unslotted stabs on earlier EJs, even though I was planning to complete (big word) RF-4E with slatted wing research and ended up in a den of Hellenic Phantom pictures, yet I was looking fo
  23. No problems ^^ Happy modelling! Luigi
  24. I have Atzec 72-054 with those options, if they will do the trick I will scan them Luigi
  25. sorry if I resurrect this but I'm looking for RAF F-4J pictures concerning the belly and upper wings area especially for catapult cable attachment points and whatever the other cradle pins are called above the wings Luigi
