Hi Gwen, Thank you very much, that is very helpful. Cheers, Markus

Hi folks, Are there currently any aftermarket intakes for the Hasegawa F-15 in 1/48? I know Phase Hangar Resin made some, but they seem to be OOP. Are there any alternatives? Cheers, Markus

Looks fantastic! Markus

Fantastic build, and great fotos! Cheers, Markus

@Quixote74 Thank you for the detailed break down. that helps a lot. Kind regards, markus

Hi! A friend of mine started to build models recently, and I am looking for a birthday gift. He is interested in british aircraft subjects and mentioned he would like to build a Harrier. As I am not really familiar with that type, I wanted to aks your opinions, which kits in scales 1/72 or 1/48 are the best ones, especially in regard to ease of build. Acuracy and details are not as important as an easy construction. Thanks for your help, Markus

As I said, it was some time ago. To be more precise, it was in the 90s. 😉 So, good they fixed that. Markus

It has been a few years since I built a Hasegawa F-16. They are nice kits shapewise, but Tamiya beats them in every department, be it details, ease of assembly and accuracy for the various blocks. Also, Tamiya has a full intake and compressor face, contrary to Hasegawa. IIRC the "Misawa"-boxing from Hasegawa doesn't inlcude a "big mouth" intake, which is present on block 50 aircrafts. You can install the landing gears later in the build, if you don't glue J13 and F21 until the build is finished. Markus

So this raises the question: should I continue with the Hobby Boss kit, for which I bought a ton of aftermarket from Phase Hangar Resin, or should I get the new Academy kit? What would be your opinion? Markus

The decal sheets above are still available. Markus

Hi! Thanks! I used Zero Paints 2 Pack Gloss Clearcoat Diamond Finish. Cheers, Markus

Looks great! Cheers, Markus

Thanks for all the input. Cheers, Markus

Thanks a lot. I will go with a flat finish. Cheers, Markus

Hi, i am currently building the F-4B from Tamiya. I plan to use the kit markings from VF-51 in 1972. The question I have is regarding the paint scheme. Was this aircraft painted in a gloss or flat finish? Thanks, Markus
