Waiting in anticipation.

Thanks both for your help. As an ex Chinook worker I sort of got how the blades are stopping, it was just if there was a blade that always stopped toward the front so that then set off the blade folding like the Sea King.

That help a lot indeed. I now do have another question, in that what are the colours used on the heads and rotors? Are they the same as those used on a Chinook in that they are Red, Green and Yellow?

Pity that you may cancel, as I was looking forward to the sheet.

When the blades on a CH-46 fold, before this happens do the heads rotate so that the blades are in a certain position? If this is so, does anyone know the colour blade that is the master one and in which position it is in before the folding occurs? I have seen a video of the blades folding, but just folding and not that close that you can see what the colour of the blades are. Thanks in advance.

Some D/Storm stuff would be nice, especially if you do the sheet in 1/72nd.

Although Fly do a Kuwaiti kit (which I have), they do not do the markings that I would prefer, so if Caracal could do a version from around the time of the Gulf conflict of 1990/1 I would be very happy. See the link posted for the first two aircraft. https://dstorm.eu/pages/en/kuwait/c-9.html

I did the same myself many years ago, with the exact results that you got. I cannot figure out why this is though.

Pity as I am waiting for these, especially in 1/72nd.

I think that eastern Express maybe bringing out a DC-10-30 sometime this year.

Looking forward to this sheet coming out.

They did carry them in the mid to late 80s. When RAF Alconbury's runway was closed for repairs they were based at RAF Wyton for the duration of and they used to taxi past our Sqn office window with the pod fitted to the centre line.

Will you be making a B-52G kit with these updated parts or was the kit that you made the only one that you are going to make? I ask as I would like to get a kit of a B-52G, and if you are going to make an updated one I will wait for that

Am happy to wait for some thing that I know will be correct.

RAF Jaguars used an inline adapter not a side by side one, so the French ones are no good. I am not sure but I have a feeling that the Airfix Jaguar may have had this adapter in it when it was first issued with the pointy nose. I am not so sure about the later kit.
