Unfortunately that one has been out-of-production. It was hard to find when I was building mine and that’s already something around a year ago.

It could could be easy enough to model in CAD and 3D print. If anyone has enough information on dimensions and some reference photos I could probably make one fairly easy at a decent level. It wouldn’t be any Eduard Brassin, but ok enough for many uses probably.

Unfortunately it’s the Eduard pod. I found one on eBay at the time. But even at that point it was rather scarce to find.

Thank you! I was expecting something like this, but have no direct personal experience.

I am located in the USA and so far everything I've ordered has had the tariffs included in the shipping. Most of this was eBay, although 2 instances of custom PCB's from China with the DHL DDP/DTP option. I am eyeing some flight simulator hardware from Thailand. They do not have a shipping option with included tariff's, but do at least have a DHL shipping option. Does anyone have experience with how the process would work? I'm lead to believe the DHL would contact by phone, text, or email that you own X$ tariffs + Y$ brokerage fee. I'd pay them and they'd do the customs work

I am building the Kittyhawk 1/35 SH-60B in HSL-51 markings. From what I can see, the kit markings I'm using are from around 2006-2008 time frame. I'm trying to figure out the grays and can't trust the kit instructions for ^@#$. From my Googling, there's been two batches of TPS grays. The first (bottom to top) was light gray (FS36495), dark ghost gray (FS36320), and blue gray (FS35237). I've found discussion that modern day is light gray (FS36495), light ghost gray (FS36375), and dark ghost gray (FS36320). I can't find any commentary on when this changed and the gray

I'd cut out a rectangle of electrical tape or vinyl transfer tape and put it there. Maybe add a touch of CA.

Disclaimers, 1) I know this isn't a legal forum and not seeking true legal advice, and 2) I think I know what the right answer is and likely plan to keep these creations to myself. I was looking for a structure to use in a diorama and found them available as 3D prints. The structure is government property, but there are photos galore over the internet in public domain. The 3D printed parts are quite frankly printed very poorly and divided in to unnecessarily extra sections requiring seem filling (instead of a one or two piece print). I don't have measurements of this structure;

If done correctly, tariffs are applied based on the products country of origin. It’s done this way specifically to close this loophole. With that said, my experience with eBay since this tariff thing started says it’s a complete crapshoot.

Thank you too! Perhaps that explains my difficult calling it from outside photos. And the cockpit photos I was finding were all showing the MIP, and not overhead.

Thank you!

Somewhere I got the idea the overhead windows in the SH-60's were tinted either green or a smoke color. If I'm correct looking through reference photos, they seem just standard clear canopy? Can anyone confirm? I'm finding very few overhead shots which would make me feel the most clear. They sometimes look dark, but I think this just related to the areas behind these windows being more dark.

Thank you! I agree it appears bare metal. The frame is also bare metal. There so many references for that being a zinc chromate yellow-green, it really makes me wonder if this was time period and/or plant specific and an airframe with a primed engine mount may also have done that on the tank.

I'm building a standalone 1/12 scale Packard Merlin V-1650 Engine that is modeled as mounted in the P-51D. This is modeled up to the firewall. There's a large tank mounted on this fire wall that I think is a fuel tank? Through google image searching, I'm finding this tank as...

You may need to look in to applying with the DoD to use their markings. Someone on this board (despite their best intentions) had some experiences and I’d solicit the advice of those offering. I’m being a bit vague on details because I’ve learned this type of contractural/legal stuff isn’t always best for a public forum…and I’m fuzzy on the actual details myself.
