Use to do business with them long time ago but stopped because business became like a a box of chocolates never knew what you were going to get whether the item was in stock or what I would have to pay to ship it . No thanks, If I wanted to gamble , I would just go to Vegas . At least the commission has rules.

I feel your pain. Moved here 23 months ago and have not been able to model since . I'm just about to crack a bottle of thin cement just to smell the glue . Cheers, Christian

Thanks for the reassurance . I have no experience with 3D decal , so I needed some practical knowledge . Now I know that decals is a relative name. Also , I had never heard of Kelik . Since then , I learned that they are tied to Reskit products which make great items . Looking forward to this new experience now ! Cheers, Christian

Thank you . Looks very easy 9 What could go wrong ? LOL ) Cheers, Christian

Do any of you have any experience with this brand of decals ? I have not even tried out 3D decals, so any of your personal experiences could be helpful. Cheers, Christian

We never had bags for the pins but the 781 forms were stored in the bag . The forms went with the aircrew when flying. We also had a small bag for the seat safety pins which can sometimes be seen on top of the ejection seat when the aircraft is waiting on the aircrew . Additionally , the 781 form folder was kept in the opened gun bay door on the F-4E

It's my belief that what was left over was held back . Whenever our government decided that Iran not coming back , they used it as if it as ours. Cheers, Christian

Depot came to Ramstein sometimes around 78/79 to change out a wing . Supposedly the last wing that was made for Iran and held back . They claimed the internal wing tanks were very different. I don't recall a belly strap . If it was internal , it does not matter as you can't see it. Also some stabs had the internal bracing if they had been rebuilt . I'm guessing that means at depot. The only Iranian F-4 I saw ( At McDill ) was before end of 1976 . Not sure if they got anymore after that . Regards, Christian

Commercial lacquer thinner ( lowes or Home depot) will work. Mr.color leveling thinner and Tamiya lacquer thinner should also do the job

Dilute a portion of it with water till you get the desired strength ?

Thanks for responding Steve . After days of searching , I finally located it . I was afraid it had disappeared during our move . Need to build a Weasel. Regards, Christian

I use tamya, gunze and these AK paints They have different shades and can inner mix .

Impressive ! Thankfully , there's one waiting on me . Cheers, Christian
