  1. I need a set of 1/72 DHC-5 plans for a big project I have, but I can't find any book/magazine which comes with the plans... Any publication out there that I must check? Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards. José.
  2. Waiting to see more ^^ Best regards. José.
  3. Thanks a lot for the pics! It reminds me of late Bf-109's seat for some reason. Best regards. José.
  4. Happy New Year everybody! The last kit I bought in 2015 was a 1/72 MiG-9 from Amodel for my MiG collection (I only need a MiG-17 and -29 to complete it). I want to give it some extra detail. I only found a couple of pics of the istrument panel, but nothing about the seat, I don't even know if this as a very early jet had an ejection seat. Any info will be really appreciated. Best regards. José.
  5. Cool, the pylons have the fairing moulded on, this saves a bit of scratchbuilding. Best regards. José.
  6. Plastic strip and plastic rod from Plastruct or Evergreen are the best choices (and saves time), the other options are stretched sprue and plstic sheet, but it will take more time to get all rods of the same diametre. Of course, more reference pics are also needed ;) HTH. Best regards and Happy New Year!. José.
  7. I like to build lates variants so I picked the HB offering. I checked it and I can say: The compressibility flaps are molded on, the fuel pump fairings are also there, no landing light is provided so I must carve an indent on the leading edge and fill it with clear sprue. I think an aerial mast is also missing. I've seen an air scoop that resembles a Me-109's just below the trailing edge on the outer side of the booms, this part is also missing. No radio boxes behind the pilot's seat so a little detailing is required in this area... Two fuel tanks are provided. I heard something about a fairin
  8. I want to purchase a P-38, two kits are avilable at different hobbyb stores here in Lima, one is Academy's P-38J and the other is a Hobby Boss' P-38L, both in 1/72. I'm not Lightning expert so I'd like to know the differences between the types, specially if they'r external. I guess HB kit is simplier to build w/ sparse cockpit detail (as all 80XXX kits, 82XXX kits are better detailed). Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards. José.
  9. Any pic of the P-51B/C fin extension? I'd liek to add it to my P-51B, I read somewhere that planes with the loop antenna had the fin extension. Thanks a lot in advance. Bet regards. José.
  10. Just bought a P-51C (Hobbyboss' easy assembly kit in 1/72). I'd like to know if there were significant differences between the P-51B and P-51C. I find more schemes for P-51B. Couldn't find further info on one of the marking options: Don Gentile's P-51C (the other is for a RAF machine w/ Malcolm hood), so I'm looking for more options even if I have to backdate it to a B. Thanks a lot in advance. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards. José. P.S. I think I saw P-51B or C with P-51D fin extension, is that correct?
  11. Yes, Revell re-boxed the Matchbox kit time ago (they own Matchbox moulds), but it is no longer in production. I saw an original Matchbox Twin Otter at KingKit, but 24 pounds (w/o shipping) is just crazy. Best regards. José.
  12. Very good info. Thanks a lot :) Best regards. José.
  13. OK, Thanks for your replies... I'll start opening the wheel wells to show tub detail. Best regards. José.
  14. Beautiful aircraft... Reminds me of these: That is a Su-22, I mean an export version, it uses a different engine so the rear fuselage has a different shape (thicker and a bit shorter). Are you going to modify it? Verlinden Lock on #27 is a good reference, maybe you can find it around ;) I'll keep an eye on this thread. Best regards. José.
  15. So only 500 Kg ordnance? I want more Big bombs, smaller bombs under wing pylons... I think it will look great when finished. B) Best regards. José.
  16. Just checked it: The Hobby Boss offering is a little unaccurate. Cockpit has the armor for the fuel tank, but this part is a bit thick. The fuel tank itself is missing. Armor plate for the pilot is there, but it is normal plastic, it should have clear parts. Cockpit floor for the pilot and gunner are on the same level, gunner's floor should be on a lower level. Other parts of the cockpit like machine gun (maybe thinning the barrel a little will make it look better), pilot's seat and control stick are OK, even the armor for the rear gunner is there! The fuselaje and wings are very well moulded,
  17. I know that it carries only the lower MK 108 cannons, and the upper ports were blanked, but I'd like to know if the corresponding spent rounds chutes were closed as well. If they were closed, I'd like to know which are the chutes for the upper guns, there are two per side. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards. José.
  18. OK, good to know. One last question, this time about ordnance. The kit comes with two bombs, one of them to be placed in the bomb bay, the other bomb for the spares bin, I think. I'd like to know what kind of bombs they are, I only can find about modern bombs on the net. Best regards. José.
  19. Oh yes, I read something at a spanish-speaker forum about the HB kit having a "wrong canopy shape", well, I have 5 Sturmovik, why not two or three Tu-2? Best regards. José.
  20. Thanks for your replies, all I wanted to know Best regards. José.
  21. Just bought an ICM Tu-2. Box looks a bit old and I've seen that it comes boxed as a Tu-2S now, but box contains the very same kit, so I'd like to know the differences between the versions. Now I think the post-war Tu-2 are different than WWII Tu-2, some had 20 mm ShVAK, 4-bladed propellers, one side window or thre smaller ones, etc. I want to know it all... Maybe you can recommend me a book. Thanks a lot in advance. Best regards. José.
  22. Yes, re-boxed TOKO, very faint panel lines specially on vings, I'm afraid they need to be re-scribed... Just bought a fourth twin-seater Il-2, this time the Hobby Boss... None of the make an accurate Il-2M/M3 out of box, now and I think I'm getting the Tamiya offering. Best regards. José.
  23. So removing those mass balances is a must. Thanks for your reply. Best regards. José.
  24. That will be nice. I have the He-111H-6 instructions, all the parts have no number on the sprues, they're all marked in the struction sheet. Parts without use have no numbers so I can only figure the number of the clear part. Best regards. José.
  25. Yes, it has the part, but it is very simple just like Italeri Do-217's, and there's something wrong with the hole where the Italeri part should be placed, when I turn the fuselage upside-down, the part falls, maybe it just needs to be glued in position. I'd like to take a look at the original Italeri kit 037 instruciton sheet, but I can't find it :( Best regards. José
