  2. VF-20 of Airwing 20 was the most common on Enterprise. The only squadron with recent lines that were on board and still (recently) active from back then appears to be VF-10 The Grim Reapers which became VF-101.

    I'm not sure VF-17 flew from Enterprise. I know they flew from CV-17 Bunker Hill with Corsairs. The histories I have been looking at are not too specific when it came to Hellcats. If you can find proof of Enterprise usage then go for it.

    But looking at some Enterprise history sites that do show what squadrons were on board during the war (lots) I did not see VF-17 or the later VF-61.

    I was about to say, didn't they fly Corsairs? But looking it up did find that in April 1944 that the original squadron was stood down (with several of the members forming VF-84), and the "new" VF-17, with mostly new members and few original members we assigned to the USS Hornet, and were given Hellcats at this time.

    good info here: www.jolly-rogers.com

    hope that helps.

  3. Have you tried doing a search on Amazon or Alibris?

    Matt :rofl:

    I've thought about it several times, but I typically get sidetracked and forget all about it till something or someone brings it up... like now :stupid:

  4. no one would guess..... but I like Skyraiders ( :lol: ) - and my favorite kit is of course the Tamiya boxing of the H and J versions - though I specifically prefer the J!

    (I read the book The A-1 Skyraider: The Flying Dumptruck as a kid, and the A-1 has had a special place in my heart ever since....wish I still had the book :crying2: )

  5. Title pretty much says it all - these are older Microscale Decals (not sure what year they are, doesn't have a copyright date or anything to identify exactly how old it is. Has markings for the following: 62nd FS, 61st FS, TV-1 US Navy, and 36th FBW. I'd like to trade for any of the Aeromaster "shooting stars over Korea" series. If someone wants to straight up buy them - I'm asking $10. I'd prefer to keep it in CONUS, but will take foreign purchasers on a case by case basis. Contact me for shipping costs. I take Paypal, but will accept USPS Money Orders. If you want pictures of the set, send me a PM with your email and I'll send them your way. Thanks for looking!

  6. Howdy!

    someone near me is selling a Faskolor F-1 Airbrush #40260 (Dual Action) and an Paasche Air compressor with the following features:

    1/8HP, 115 volts. 1 phase, 60Hz

    and Regulator w/ Moisture Trap

    Is this stuff any good for modeling? I was looking at getting either a Paasche or Iwata airbrush; so I've never considered a Faskolor nor do I know much about it - so I'm open to info! :D

    Thanks!

    Justin
