    Space Shuttle tiles question

    in Real Space Modeling

    Posted

    20.03.2018

    Hi people,

    It's been awhile since I last posted on here but I have a question that I am hoping someone might be able to help me with.

    There was a guy on here that was developing a set of 3D tiles, kind of a plastic version of photo-eth, that could be used to cover the Revell 1/72

    shuttle but I have no idea if he completed this. I did get a set for the cockpit section which looked amazing.

    Does anyone know if these 'tiles' were ever made available for purchase or even who it was who was working on them?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Question about AMLA photoetch for P40B/C

    in Props

    25.11.2017

    Hi everyone.

    I recently bought AMLA 48001 for Academy's 1/48 P-40B/C : Tomahawk MkII. I have made the flaps without much bother but looking at the instructions and comparing them to the photo-etch fret there seems to be a number of 'extra' bits nos. 20-22. These numbers do not appear on the instruction sheet.

     

    Can anyone advise if they are to used at all? I plan to make a Russian P-40 :)

     

    Thanks in advance

    Is this trip necessary Mustang P-51D

    in Props

    Posted

    Hi all

    I came across a picture of this Mustang on Facebook and some colleagues on Britmodeller were able to provide an extra picture or two of this aircraft.

     

    However, I wanted to know if there were ever decals done for this ship or for it's squadron as I would like to make the model.

    The Mustang is of 72nd Fighter Squadron, 21st Fighter Group and I believe based upon what I have been advised that she was 44-63289,  plane #335.

     

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated :)

     

    Baet,

    Need help with Mitsubishi FTO

    Hi guys.

    I need help and advice please on the Mitsubishi FTO.

    A friend of mine has the 1997 model (post-facelift Version R) and I would like to make a model to represent her car. The difficulty is that there is no kit of her car. The closest you come is the Fujimi Mitsubishi FTO and the yellow special edition. However, both of these kits are earlier versions of the model my friend owns

    I am looking for help and advice on how to convert the kit we have into the car parked outside her door. My knowledge on cars is limited but I would greatly appreciate any help and support to help source reference material or conversion kits/builds etc.

    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    Question about Italeri's 1/72 Hercules C-130J boxing

    in Today's Birds

    12 09 2015

    Hi guys

    A quick question please about this kit. I was building a stretched -J (a C-130j-30) and had to leave it to focus on university studies. Now that that has been done I can get back to the Herk. The question I have is regarding the engine nacelle fitting to the wings, from where I need to start again.

    I'm using Italeri kit number 1255 C-130 J Hercules as the base kit and I have a beautiful set of engine nacelles to attach to the wings. Here's the query:

    I had heard, prior to commencing the build, that the engine mounting locations are staggered where they should be actually straight but I don't know if this is the case for this boxing.

    So: Is this true? Are the engines staggered and if so what do I do to fix it and which ones are incorrect?

    Thanks in advance

    I am looking for two 1/72 Italeri Hercules C-130J kits. My preference would be to trade but I will consider decent cash offers.

    In exchange I can offer:

    1/144 Revell Airbus A380 (original release)

    1/144 Revell Antonov An-124 'Ruslan'

    1/48 Revell Eurofighter Typhoon (single seater)

    1/48 Airfix Canberra B (1) 8

    1/48 Revell MH-60L Blackhawk (04458)

    1/48 Monogram DC-3

    1/48 Italeri Me-262 A-1A (2613)

    1/48 Eduard Hellcat Mk1/ II - Dual Combo release (two kits in one)

    1/48 Hasegawa Typhoon Mk 1B 'No. 181 Squadron' (09311)

    1/72 Revell Lancaster (2 available)

    1/72 Airfix Club Harrier GR7/ FA2 and 1/48 Messerschmitt BF109 E3/E7

    1/72 Airfix Super Constellation with ExtraTech photoetch set EX72146

    1/24 Monogram/Revell Hawker Hurricane MkIIc with Warbirds WB3220 Hurricane resin cockpit, MDC D32006 RAF Instrument dials and MDC E32002 RAF/FAA WW2 Sutton Harness.

    I am willing to combine kits in exchange per Hercules: for example if someone wanted the Airfix Constellation and Airfix club Harrier for one 1/72 Italeri C-130-J Hercules then I could do that. :)

    PM me and we'll see if we can do a deal. Bear in mind that I live in Ireland.

    Thanks in advance

    Eleven Things You No Longer See On Airplanes

    in General Discussion

    04 07 2013

    Hiya.

    I work in airline security. I'm one of those slack-jawed, under-paid low-intelligence individuals whose job it is to try and provide a certain feeling of security to the average (usually) American traveller and I'm glad to do it. As are all my collegues and the ladies on the team are told NOT to pat-down the female passengers with palms-front. They're supposed to use the back of their hands to avoid accusations of 'groping'. When searching/patting-down males, we have to use the back of our hands across the chest and groin area for the same reason.

    Bear in mind folks, the underwear bomber. Terrorists can and have used plastic components to create their bombs/explosive devices which cannot, obviously, be detected by the usual methods. The pat-down can help locate such. We recently received a flash about terrorists potentially carrying plastic syringes and tubes taped to the inside of their underpants. It initially may seem funny but it's not so funny when the plane goes boom.

    In fact, the issues that have included are usually related to Americans themselves and not potential terrorists. We have discovered sidearm ammunition at the bottom of the carry-on bags of certain individuals who turned out to be holidaying police officers who forgot they where there!

    While some feel it's all terribly inconvienant, I think that's preferable to the awful alternative. For the record, the Americans and others who travel on the flights we are responsible for are grateful and understanding of the procedures and they understand why we do what we do. As others have stated, perhaps one reason there has not been another 9/11 type attack is exactly BECAUSE of the extra layers of security that are now in place.

    L.

    (who returned to University several years ago and is kicking the butt of the younger generation. A-grade all round. So, not a dumb-***, then)Sweeping generalisations do nobody any good.

    pps...what do you feed the women in America? We see them come through each summer and I swear...drop-dead gorgeous every one of them!

    Are there any really good decals for 1/48 P-38E

    Guys, I have Academy's P38E in 1/48. I want to build it, naturally, but would like some good nose-art or unusual schemes decal wise. Does anyone know if there are any sheets out of the quality of Zotz or Pyn-up Decals? I can't find anything but am hopeful they exist.

    Thanks in advance

    Funny that...the missus gets what she calls 'motion sickness' if she sits too close to the screen at a 3d movie. Action in the movies where the camera whips around a bit or jump-cuts make her dizzy. Takes her a bit to recover.

    My nephew just up-chucks. Like in Cap when Cap was duking it out with the Skull. Not good. :(

    True. I remember thinking that Billy Zane could have made a decent Tony Stark, the version with the pencil thin moustache. Today, though, I'm not so sure. He'd need to be suave, capable of comedy for the throw-away lines and 'young' enough to last potentially three Iron Man movies and a few Avengers cameos. That's a tall order for anyone.

    No-one really jumps out.

    And, when Pepper got wrapped in the armour, I half-hoped we'd see her in the Rescue suit from the more recent Iron Man comics. Maybe next time.

    Not to mention the total joke they made of the Mandarin. One of Iron Man's classic villains turned into a joke. Loved the rest of it, especially the multi-armour mash-up at the end. Hope Avengers 2 rocks though and since there may be a different actor in the suit if Iron Man 4 rolls around, who do you think would fill Mr. Downey's shoes?
