Hmmmm... If you hadn't brought it up, I never would have notices. Now I'll be watching! C2j

Consider using yours as a master to make molds and cast in resin? C2j

I see the images and they are fantastic! C2j

Y'all got big ants in Florida... C2j

NOPE, it's PHABULOUS !! C2j

That's just damn FINE modeling by someone with incredible skills! C2j

Watch out for glue / paint on your fingers! After assembly the main things to look for are Messerschmidt's and Fock Wolfs! C2j

I've used 1/48 scale decals from Yellow Wings on several builds and am very satisfied. Your only other choice would be MicroScale sheets that are every bit as old as your kits. C2j

Rotorman, Your scratchbuilding skills are beyond belief! Question...I thought the AN/AQS-235 AMNS was only carried on the port (left) side of the airframe as shown in the two pictures on the previous page? C2j

As the title says... It was an "add on" to the P-51D kit and maybe the P-47. If you have one you don't need, let me know. twoj3s at yahoo dot com C2j

No matter how good the artist, I think the last resource I would go to is a painting... C2j

If your intent is in flight, wouldn't 4 clear disks be the simplest - and most appropriate? C2j

I am trying to get in contact with aviation artist Don Greer. If anyone has direct contact with Mr. Greer and would be willing to forward a message / query to him for me, I would be grateful. Please contact me at twoj3s at yahoo dot com . Thanks in advance, C2j

BUT...all the original poster wanted to know was if the sighting device for the gunner was removed from P-61's with the fixed upper guns? C2j

Nice job on this ancient kit! A nice simple scheme. Only a couple of reference pictures to work from. Any particular reason you didn't pick the other? C2j

The "tri-pod" framework above the LHS pilot door is the forward attachment for the HF antenna, correct? Anybody know where the FORWARD end of the antenna entered the fuselage? Anybody know where the AFT end of the Antenna terminated (I'm guessing the outboard end of the sync elevator)?

Looking for AMT/ESCI/ERTL/Italeri UH-D/H rotor system parts - rotor mast, blades balance bar... Contact me at twoj3s AT yahoo DOT com Thanks, Cubs2jets

Peter, A quick look on US evil-bay shows a Matchbox A-20 ( one listed ) for $23.95. The Revell A-20 ( five listed ) is approx $18 - 25. The AMT / Frog / Airlines A-20 ( four listed ) seems to be about $10 - 12. The MPM A-20 ( one listed ) is about $24. C2j

That is one of the most realistic "in service" finishes I have seen in a long time. It really sets you finished product above and beyond. Great job and thanks for sharing your work. C2j

Never fear! The ONE aftermarket product that all OV-10 lovers secretly yearn for...the ONE fix for your landing gear worries... The only question is...WHICH aftermarket producer??? C2j

Well, in my search for adult continuing education, I have searched THIS section of ARC and read many posts. I now have a headache! Simple question: Is there a 1/48 scale UH-1B/C/E kit that builds into what it claims on the box without modifications? Monogram / Starfix UH-iB "Rescue Chopper" / "Armed Chopper" Monogram / Revell UH-1C Huey Hog / Air Force Fujimi / Testors / Academy(?) / MiniCraft(?) UH-1B HobbyBoss UH-1C Aurora UH-1B Cobra 'Copter Lindberg UH-1 Huey Do ANY of these kits present an exterior shape

Oooohhhhh kaaaayyyyy, And here I was thinking the CIA "borrowed" equipment... I guess they could afford new with their black budgets. LOL !! I guess I'm never too old to be edjumakated. So, most of you guys are light years ahead of me with your knowledge and building skills. I'm OK with "close enough" and a paint job for this free kit. If I were to find a "donor" ESCI UH-1D/H is it feasible / necessary to graft the tailboom onto the Monogram kit along with the main rotor? Alternately, under what designation might I find pictures of "civilianized" surplused UH-1C

Gino, Thanks for the reply. I had examined these pictures in my personal search. Let me say that I know that I know far less than many about Huey's. That said, I've learned about pitot tube position (nose vs cabin roof) rotor blades (narrow vs wide chord "540" blades, wide chord vs. narrow "elevators" and the less defining engine air intake (filter vs non-filter) as identifiers between B model and C model Huey's... These points lead me to believe these three pictures would be considered B model Huey's. I am always open to being schooled on the finer poi

Is there any evidence that Air America operated UH-1C model Huey's? All the pictures I find on line are B and D model Huey's. Reason for asking: I won an old Monogram Huey Hog kit in a raffle yesterday and I'm just not feeling inspired to go in the direction of a green Huey. From the photographs on line it appears that the Huey's are painted silver (not bare metal). Is this correct? Is there an easy match for the blue (close is good enough)? Thanks for the input... C2j
