I have red an article here : http://www.colorserver.net/history/history-zinc-chromate.htm It is said : It seems to be very informal, depending of the constructor, the period, etc... Jérôme

OK, a little answer here : http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Z...-primer-(paint) It seems to be Zinc Chromate in its "blue" phase. Not very usual, but possible. Jérôme

It's a primer, not a varnish. In his plane, their is a mix of Zinc Chromate (yellow and green), and this unusual blue, depending of the parts. He's said me it was not the first time that he's saw it. A P40 had the same. Jérôme

[This thread is the same as in the "Classic Aviation" section, sorry, it's a "prop" AND a "classical" aircraft ] Hello, a friend is restoring a real Vultee BT-13A. I am very surprised by all the inner surfaces. They are BLUE. Not Zinc Chromate (yellow) nor Interior Green (green), nor Salmon Pink like on the early Birdcage, but BLUE. Was it an usual color for the primer or is it an exception ???? I have never seen a scale model with this color. Are modelers ignore it ? Here a sample :

Hello world, I have completed my Vultee SNV-1 (BT-13 of the USN) for a friend. He's restoring the real one here, in France. It was not a pice of cake :wub: Some pix : I will post more pix tonight. The step by step is here : http://aeroplastic.free.fr/atbt13/index.html Jérôme

Hello, my kit is now finished, but I have done a step by step built on a french forum. This kit is not a piece of cake. I've done a Navy BT-13, named SNV-1. The real plane will fly again in the next years, in France. The motor hood was too little. I enlarged it. More pix here : http://aeroplastic.free.fr/atbt13/index.html Jérôme

Hello, here is my "Coccinelle" or "Beetle" in english. It is built straight from the box. It's a 1966 model. The kit is not as good as the Tamiya one (no motor, less detailed), but the shape is perfect. All the construction is visible here : http://aeroplastic.free.fr/atcox/index.html More pix here : http://aeroplastic.free.fr/cox/index.html Hope you'll like this "peace & love" subject. Jérôme

Hello everybody ! I would like to know what are the differences between the Super Connie L-1049G-82-110 and L-1049G-82-114 ? What is the signification of the 3 last digits ??? Thank you Jérôme My first airliner HERE (A380)

Thank you. I used a matt white Gunze on all the model. After the micromeshing I applied the decals. The weathering is made with Gunze 'Aircraft grey', which is more brown than grey in my opinion. But it is perfect for the weathering. So I underlined the pannel lines with it. More pics and explanations this week end.... See you later

Hello, here is my XWing Fine Molds. The construction is a piece of cake. All the work is in the weathering. MORE PICTURES HERE I'll post more detailed pictures this week end... Thank you Jérôme

Hello everybody I am a plane modeller. I have a passion for the rockets. I'd like to know the kits existing today. Mainly for the well known launchers Saturn V, Ariane 1,2,3,4,5 (I'm french...) , Atlas, Space Shuttle, etc... I think the scales are 1/200 and 1/144 ? 1/72 and 1/48 are very big, aren't they ? Thank you Jérôme
