Does anyone know if the SAC gear for the Roden 141 will fit the A&A kit? I just got the A&A kit. I don't know how it will go together, but the engraved panel lines are very petite and even in just a cursory inspection. And I've got the Caracal NASA decals for it.

Sorry to hear that, Darren. You could license someone else to cast your stuff.

Thanks, very much, folks!

Is it possible to make a US F-15E out of the Great Wall F-15I? If so, how? Thanks.

That really does seem to have most of the same ones plus more. I'll look around. Thanks!

Looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Sexy and/or colorful. The Zotz sheets were great, if they'd only been done in 1/48 also. Some great choices for planes.

Thanks. Sorry to hear that. They made some great deals. Maybe someone will buy their artwork and continue the line.

Is Zotz Decals still in business? I can't find a link for a home page or a FB page etc. I love his 1/32 B-25 decals and wondered if they're available in 1/48?

That's what it looks like to me, too. 😄

Downloaded. Thanks!

Which was a lot bigger, swoopier and sexier than this other one, which more resembles the model:

Thanks! It's the Monogram kit, not the Testors kit. It was indeed Loral advertising. Not sure I knew Scalemates had instructions.

Would anyone have a link to the old Monogram 1/48 F-19 instructions or a scan of the instructions they could send me? Thanks.

Just thinking about your idea for generic markings, in addition to NACA/NASA markings, you might include a good selection of serial numbers, TEST, and other markings to assist with doing the lesser-known planes. NACA/NASA has flown about everything. Might even be worth doing this sheet in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 scales. A couple of the many references: https://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/portal/apps/naca/ https://history.nasa.gov/SP-3300/ch3.htm

Twenty-nine Monogram B-25s starting at $13 shipped and going right on up is "overflowing." Eighty-five Monogram 1/48 P-51s starting at $4 is "overflowing." Otherwise, certainly anything you want - anything you want - is "available." At some price. Price, in reality, indeed, makes many things "difficult to get." I look forward to seeing where this re-pop is priced.

Well, dang. I just got the RS Models 1/72 P-51H, which looks to be a pretty decent kit compared to a couple of predecessors. I'm not so worried about the NACA markings, rather the "TEST" and other registries.

Any chance of getting this sheet in 1/72 or just the NACA markings on your forthcoming "Aircraft of NASA" sheet? Thanks.

Thanks. Then maybe it's just me and the decals I'm trying to order.

Is Fundekals still around? They've been out of P-51 stencils, prop decals, etc. for quite some time. I've emailed but no reply. Thanks.

Thanks! Just ordered some numbers and letters. Alas, the P&W decals aren't available any more. But I've got lots of NASA meatballs.

And what size and style is that tail number? Thanks.

Would anyone know what size these letters spelling NASA are on this F-106B? 18-inch? 24-inch. USAF 45-degree corners? Thanks.

Is this canopy correction set still available somewhere? It's not on ebay now.

Thanks. I did't know the Monogram fuselage had errors. I don't know that the HK fuselage does either. I just know they don't look the same. It would be good to lay the parts over a factory drawing if such existed. I don'know. I just asked. Nobody has to answer, but nothing wrong with asking.

I'd still like to see a comparison of the Monogram and HK fuselages taped together at the aft fuselage halves.
