Well the Chieftain only served with the British Army so that would be 4 different choices of camo scheme: All over bronze green. Standard Nato green and black camo. BATUS training grounds,Nato green and sand. Berlin Brigade, white, blue, brown. Afraid I can't help with the revell colours themselves and technically this should be in the cold war section.

The MOD link is really quite sugar coated even the BBC one is too. We will have our new carriers but with barely any ships to protect them and no aircraft to fly off them till the F-35 is operational, till then there will be a massive gap in any training/experience of any sort of carrier operations. Puma Helicopters, barely operational as it is right now, will be refurbished for frontline ops. Not mentioned is that the order for 22 new Chinooks is being cut to 12, but enough spin has been put on these that it will seem like to mr public that there has been a significant increase to our chopp

1/72 B-1B update! Where!!!! Gimme gimme gimme!!!! Hell give me 2-3.

Pretty easy if you know what you're doing really. All you need to do are change the following: NACES ejection seat to GRU-7 ejection seat Cockpit screens layout Dual chinpod to single, usually, TCS chinpod Various ECM bumps under the wing glove, that aren't on the F-14D And that should be your lot, if my memory is correct.

Just looking for 2 nozzles now, thanks to the generosity of Nate.

I'm trying to get things together to start a 1/72nd B-1B, problem is the kit comes with poor renditions of exhaust nozzles with feathers which aren't fitted on current B-1B's. The only aftermarket nozzles, though very nice, are now long out of production, but i read that 1/48th F-15C nozzles are a good match, though not 100% correct. So I was wondering if anyone could spare 4 1/48th exhaust nozzles, Aires, Hasegawa, Academy etc, doesn't matter which brand. Or at an outside shot some cutting edge 1/72 ones. I would be happy to pay for them, whatever you think is fair, or trade, though i only

Argh! you are sooooo lucky been looking for CE B-1B nozzles in 72 for ages!

If you look on the clear parts tree, on the first link posted in the thread you can see that there are actually some mesh intake guards. God kknows why they are done as clear parts, but they are there. The rotors are an easy fix, as is the replacing the nose and the antenna missing. So all in all i would say a good effort from hobbyboss, and lets face it is light years ahead of anything else out there.

The thing is if you watch the original Macross, it pretty much explains all of the principles you're wondering about, such as the pinpoint barrier system, folding, Valkyrie armour etc. Don't forget that folding can be seen as the same principles as warp or hyperdrive. As for Frontier i loved it and suggest you watch it again as it actually does explain how the crystals work, why song works against the vajra etc. There's also alot of websites out there that explain the mechanical stuff. But then again it is anime after all.

This is my Matchbox Halifax I've just finished. It would have been built oob as a Mk.I except for the fact my decals were toast and the canopies short shot. So i decided to build a B.Mk.II Series I with a dorsal turrent. As such i need to buy the Faclon canopy set (highly reccomended), the Aeroclub Boulton Paul Type C dorsal turret (a lovely mini kit in its self) and under reccomendation from someone here the Aeroclub Gallay radiator and oil cooler units. Also added where the Sky Decals sheet for an aircraft of 10 Squadron of the pathfinders, though I'm not entirely sure if the decals represen

Hi guys, thanks for the kind words. Both are 72nd and OOB. Here's a tip never buy and italeri Mustang....real awful kit

Well actually it was finished a couple of weeks ago, but my camera went on holiday. So here are some piccies, plus some of an Italeri P-51D that i finished before i started building the 17. And the P-51D

Fine work as usual Rap, and congrats on the little nipper.

Now that is very nice indeed, lovely work on the camo.

Really nice phantom there, the fading on the ferris scheme is awesome.
