Its funny this topic coming up now , I've been working on a project to build as many 32nd Korean war allied aircraft as I can for some time now , It started with the Fisher Panther, and has gone on to F4U-4, Skyraider, Sabre, AT-6d , Seafire 47, F-80 lurking on the horizon is an F-51D and F-84 .. and if Paul Fisher ever gets his Firefly released I'm in for that too.. nor to mention a Banshee... Ah well I can only dream! If someone would just Produce a B-26 as well, I'd be a Very happy bunny The whole "forgotten War" thing is odd, to me the Korean war is very much the transition between WW

Well thats another £38 I wasn't planning to spend gone on a set , And thanks to you're excellent work Jake , my 32nd F-4E 3rd TFW model will be sporting a set of GBU-15's! thanks a lot guys!!!! :woot.gif:/>

Nope - there's nothing available , one of the big issues modelling current RAF equipment in 32nd is a massive lack of weaponery , Brimstone is one , Raptor pode, and the revised BOZ launchers are others ... In theory you could source 1/32nd Hellfires , and scratch a Launcher , but other than that , you're on your own I'm afraid!

Seen it twice in the last week , 2d and then 3D , and and I Loved it , some things stood out particularly ,The scene in the bar with a drunk Drax and Rocket , with Rocket explanation of why he is the way he is , I got a serious lump throat , brilliant - making me root for a bunch of animated pixels ... not mention "We are Groot" , and it was nice to hear that Nebula , raised by Thanos still sounded as tho' there was a touch of Scotland in her voice , you can take the lass out of Scotland , but you can't take Scotland out of her completely Yes its derivative , but most films that start a

I've received , and installed the intake set on my latest F-16 project , and it fits superbly , actually better than the kit parts , and even with the aires resin undercarriage bay in place the fit isn't impacted in any way , an excellent product chris , and I look forward to may more F-16 builds in my future , (on top of the 5 in the last year or so!) One other product that suggests itself while talking about P&W powered F-16s , a tail pipe set, with closed petals , I got a hold of a set of Tamiya parts , and they fit the academy kit , and beng closed look a lot better than the rather

Hi there , I'm trying to locate a set of Sky Decals 32025 , F-15I decals , the set with the large Eagle on the tail, if anyone has a spare set , or knows of a vendor that still has a set available , please drop me a line - Many thanks for looking colin AKA Scotsman

I'm begenning to think there are 2 Alclad's , I'm in the UK, and the UK sourced paints and Primers work perfectly , I use the Grey primer for most things and it works beautifully , I then sand down and on goes the Metallic paints, agin no problems , hard and dry within minutes, However I have some bottles of US sourced Alclad metallics , and NOTHING will entice them to dry ,no matter how long they're left for , they never seem to harden and any handling of them will leave marks Is there perhaps a different formulation at work here ?

Tell me about it Jennings - 3-4 years finding the bits, and 1/2 a year building .... never again ...

Aires sets have gotten a lot better over the last few years , I used their 1/32 Tornado pit and that fitted like a dream , ditto their 1/32 F-16 Well Well set , some of the older sets may have been a challenge, but the current ones seem to streets ahead in terms of ease of fit -

Have a look Here - Britmodeller Typhoon Ref pics

i use them a lot , and they are excellent , dense pigment , and very robust , BUT they arn't for the impatient , I generally have to leave whatever i've painted for at least 24 hours before masking/handling BTW I'm in the NE of scotland , so its never really that warm , and/or humid , so this may have something to do with these extended drying times

Read all about it .... LSP Thread with F-84 Pics Well what do you all think?

Joind the party - late as usual , Your humble servant - with my latest completed project , a 109 E-1 dio This was taken a couple of weeks ago at home , (before the latest round of beard darkening done to presuade prospective employers i'm not actually over 50 - fat chance!)

This is amy first ever 32nd 109 - I've always boycotted German WWII subjects until now , with the 70th annivery of the BoB UI took the plunge .. The scene is supposed to be a fordwrd operating field somewhere in northern france Summer 1940 as the airforce attempts to keep pace with the army , the aircarft needs an engine change , and the fuel for the next sortie is being delived .. so here we go ... Overall View Ground level with real trees in the background OK where do we start with the engine There only remains a decent Pilot figure to be added , and other small small addition

Have a look at this thread on LSP , Mr Song posts some pics of yet another new Trumpter 32nd kit , this time , it looks pretty close to production standard .. see if you can guess the subject ... LSP Thread ...

Looks like another Trumpter project just broke cover - a Yak-38 Forger .. yikes- I for one didn't see that coming .. have a look 4th post down ... My Credit Card just can't take the strain anymore .. Let the comments begin!

I've build the Mk 1when it first came out , without the benefit of any aftermarket goodies, and it builds really , really well, and having built the Tamiya Swordfish , I did feel a slight sense of D'eja Vu .. to put it mildly! The Eduard sets are a nice to have , if nothing else a decent pilots harness, and a corectly textured floor, along with the coloured Pe IP/radio fronts help to brighten things up . The external set appears useful if your planning to fold the wings, (a great space saver!) as for the wheels - personal choice if you like rubber ones - great other wise they seem to be de

It started here in the Uk last week, so Part 3 to-night .. so far so excellent Co-incidently this week on one of the cable chanels was a re-run of a series shot 10 years ago, Hell in the Pacific, with extensive interviews with Eugene Sledge , nice to put a real face to the character , a dignified and gentle old man .. well worth looking out for

Nice pics on the Lucky model site - to my againg eyes , it does look like Academy havn't done anything to correct the issues with the intake.. and the gear bays still look a little basic.. but hey its £57 plus plstage , to go the Tamiya/Resin route on this would cost 3 times what this kit costs , heck I'll live with the shape problems

The G stuff is a little late for me, I used a grab bag of kits and pieces to cobble together a G from a Tamiya E , with Revell wings etc, and expensive proposition as it turned out .. And the option to build an S as well would be VERY appreciated! - As would ordanance - Pave spike/Pave Knife for a start , along with period ECM pods Early model AiM-9's .. a choice of Resin pits as well, the BB ones are good , but I always find that consoles are a little soft in terms of detail .. Even the option to displat the rader aray on C/D/J 's Revell F-4's , were to begin , replace anemic Nose Gear, re

The F-4B conversion would be a real winner , this is what I did with the CE one , and I'm sure there would be many many more modellers who'd like a chance to build one Harold - there are a LOT of items that would appreciated , conversions/weapons /pit enhancements you name it ...

Nice , thanks for the links, I wonder if they will issue the weapons sprues on their own those GBU-38's look very nice indeed .. I'd pay good money for them , over and above the F-16 kit!

I quite agree, there are a lot of 32nd F-4's out there , just begging for upgrades/fixes, and since CE disappeared , there is a crying need for some one to take over .. please.... Oh and the B conversion is nice , I built a B with the set when it first came out , but its certainly not worth $300!

bumper for some additions/price review!

bump for some additonal decals/kits
