  1. I've faded and weathered paint finishes on AFV's by exposing them for fairly long periods to sunlight and precipitation. I hesitate to say that would work or be desirable for aircraft with protective coatings over decals, however. I'd stick to replicating fading with tints, pigments and paints if you don't have the time or patience for a "natural" exposure method. Bear in mind, though, that heat and UV light in combination can have unpredictable and interesting effects upon certain colors that just lightening base colors can't duplicate. I've seen photos of European Theater Dodge ambulance
  2. Dear fellow members, I had the good fortune to pick up a Tamiya Mosquito bomber kit at a flea market last week. Price was very low and came with numerous aftermarket parts but the kit was missing its assembly instructions. Can anyone scan and email me a copy? Best regards, Joe Thomas
  3. I have several Letraset dry transfer sheets covering RAF, Finnish and Italian aircraft markings. All date from the early to mid-seventies. They were stored in a dry environment and look like new...except that they fall to pieces when I've tried to apply them now. I'm wondering if anyone's successfully restored and applied this brand or others like them of similar vintage. If there's no possibility of that, then I'll have to have them scanned onto new decal paper and go from there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Joe Thomas
  4. Dear Murph, Your information was very helpful and I want to thank you for helping me out. I can only imagine the efforts I'd have gone through to obtain this information were it not for ARC and its members. Best regards, Joe Thomas
  5. Thanks very much for your assistance. I'm sorry I couldn't reply sooner to thank you. Joe Thomas
  6. I recently bought Academy OV10-A 1/72 scale model kit at flea market. Box had been opened and paint/marking schematic was missing. Can anyone provide me with website where I can find same or with copy of kit's original schematic? Decals are detailed and encompass both USMC and USAF versions of aircraft when serving in Vietnam. Regards, J. Thomas
