Looking to buy Wolfpack 1/48 F/A-18A+ conversion set (or equivalent; MAW decals.) I just need a set of APX-111 IFF antennas. Hard to believe that there is not a simple 1/48 scale set like the quick boost 1/32 set. I guess the fact that kinetic kits all come with the antennas that nobody sees a need to make them anymore. Thanks. P.S located in Canada, understand that this makes it more difficult.

Hello everyone, I am looking for the M sprue that came in the Hasegawa F-18 A/C kit and possible the F-18 USMC kit. It is the sprue that had the IFF antennas and the swept back uhf/vhf antennas. Just wondering if anyone has one buried in their spares box that they would be willing to part with. Of course, postage would be paid by me. thanks for looking

Thanks for looking Holmes. Dews

Hello, Looking for the VF-101 Decals out of the Tamiya f-14d (specifically the shark mouth). Would be willing to send any of the other squadron decals from kit back in exchange. Preferably in Canada but US also works. thanks

I'm with scooby on this one. I would love a 1/48 cormorant for my collection. Another question. Is anyone working on 1/48 cormorant decals?

As promised, pictures of my recently un masked F-35. I was not as disappointed with RLM 75 as I thought I was going to be. Even just holding the model in my hand I can change the colours just by moving it in the light.

I've painted mine with fs 36018 and I would say that it is the correct colour. I used rlm 75 which is a WWII German colour for the 'seams'. The RLM colour was close but a little too dark. I'm going to be sticking with it though because there is no way I'm going to go back and remask the model. I'll put up some pictures in the next day or two.

Crap, yeah I agree that fs 36118 does look wrong when the viper and lightning are side by side. Looks like its another trip to the local hobby shop. I built an F-22 last year and mixed metallics into it really well. I was pretty impressed with the way it turned out but when I put down clear coat for decals it knocked the sheen down on me. It still came out alright but it looked really good beforehand.

Does anyone know what the fs colours are for the F-35. I believe the main colour is close to fs 36118 but what would be an accurate colour for the 'trim' ? I've looked at tons of pictures but every one seems to be different. I'm sure it has something to do with the radar absorbing paints similar to the way the F-22 looks different in different lighting.

Thanks for the replies guys, Finn those pictures were more than enough convincing for me. I'm building a model for a friend and he wants JDAMS on his CF-18 and I can't convince him otherwise. Personally I think LGBs look way better.

Hi , I was just wondering if the CF-18 can carry a 2000lbs bomb on its outer wing pylon if it's carrying a fuel tank on the inner. Thanks

Hello everyone, I was wondering if D-day stripes were painted over top of the stencils on the wings. For example on the upper surface of a spitfire wing did the d-day stripes get painted over the wing walk line. I've seen the now famous picture of the guys painting the d-day stripes and if that was how it was done I would assume that they went on right over top of all the stencils that they may have come in contact with, including the stencils on the lower wing surfaces.

Hi Gang, I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out on a few things. I recently purchashed the Wingnut Wings SE5a and I was wondering if anyone had some left over decals from the Roden SE5a for Billy Bishop's aircraft. Also, did Bishop's aircraft use the 4 bladed prop or the two bladed prop? Thanks for any help.

Hi gang, I was looking to get my hands on Aeromaster 48400. Just wondering if anybody would be willing to part with theirs if they have one.

I'm looking for Aeromaster 48-400. The Royal Navy Corsairs of the British East Indies and Pacific Fleets Pt. 1

Hi gang, just wondering if anyone knew where to get a set of decals for 1/48 RCAF Harvard. I was hoping for leading edge but they appear to no longer be available. Thanks

Hi Gang, I have the Academy 1/35 AH-60DAP Blackhawk with the Cobra Company MH-60L Stencils and "United States Army" Sheets. I bought the kit and have just largely lost interest in building it. I will trade it for almost anything 1/48 (jets, prop) but would be overjoyed to trade it for a 1/35 Tamiya Leopard 2A6. U.S. and Canada only. Just kinda testing the waters so if you are interested just let me know.

OK I am totally stumped on this one. I am trying to decide which kit of the Mosquito I should get. I've read reviews of both and each kit has its pros and cons, well mostly just pros. What I want to do is build the FB version of the kit which only Tamiya provides. The Tamiya kit is fantastic, I have built one and it was my first experience with Tamiya and I was blown away with it. Also, it provides me with the FB version that I am looking for. Also did I mention it is Tamiya and the kit falls together. The new revell kit is also pretty nice (I have heard). It has a lot of options including p

Hey Gang, quick question, what was a typical loadout for A-10's in OIF. ECM pod? Free fall bombs? AGM-65G? Thanks for any help

I really don't have the skill to modify figures so perhaps a new plan is in order. I'll need to check around for some photos of Blackhawks in action in Afghanistan. I would love to put some Canadian element into this so maybe some Canadian Troops. Aybody know how often Canadian Troops hitched rides in Blackhawks? Does anybody make a decal of the new digital Camo, its CADPAT in Canada not sure what its called in the US.

Hey Gang, First off I'm not a helicopter modeller in any way, shape or form so go easy on me if there are tons of mistakes in what I am about to say. I'm building the Academy Blackhawk, DAP that I am going to build as MH-60L, maybe external tanks, but that isn't important. What I am hoping to do is make a scene with the helicopter hovering and have some troops fast roping out of the chopper. I am having trouble finding figures though that are in the process of descending on the ropes. Do you guys know of any figures that would work or am I going to have to perform some surgery on some figures.

Hopefully they are making some new things or at least continuing to make some of their older items. I was looking to get my hands on a set of the exhaust nozzles for the 1/32 Hornet

Are their products still available? Edit: I just took a look through squadron and they still have some of their items. I guess a better question is are they making new stuff?

Does anyone know what happened to avionix. I just finally managed to get my hands on an academy hornet and wanted to pick up some of their detail parts for it. Their Boneyard line was really a pretty cool idea.
