  1. I start the thread but I have not got around to taking pics he clean up, already through 3 blades, thought it be easier cleaning the excess off boy was I wrong. Once I finished I get the pics sorted.
  2. I be doing AMT/ERTL Darth Vader vinyl figure kit..
  3. Ok then I do it then, one Lord Vader coming up
  4. Not sure yet but hoping someone will twist my arm to join in, I have the AMT Darth Vader vinyl figure kit that I could build.
  5. Ok I seem to have the bug again so I decided to start my E-2C in 1/48. I have eduard interior and exterior sets for this build, I did buy decals but I have decided on the kit markings. I have not had much luck with PE in the past but I am taking my time with this build. I was nervous at hacking this kit up as it was a birthday present and it is not a cheap kit.
  6. Can anyone tell me the correct FS numbers for modern usn hull and structure for frigates and destroyers
  7. Whats the difference between the F-8C-F-8D and the F-8E? I have the F-8E kit by Hase, the Furball Aero-Design decals I have, have the F-8C and D on them and got thinking if one could do a F-8C or F-8E with the F-8E kit?
  8. Thanks for the help, I thought for my load out before I asked was 4 Aim-9 TERs x2 x6 snake eyes..
  9. Did the F-8E used TERs or MERs in nam?
  10. Revell are doing a new tool Gripen.. My link
  11. Can anyone help me please, I have the Tamiya 1/48 F4U-1/2 and 1D kits. I have never done USN WW2 so the colors are proving harder for me to get matches for. the 1/2 kit is the 3 tone color the 1D is dark blue? I can only get xtracrylix and humbrol where I live and revel at a push. Tamiya paints are dead here no one seems to stock them anymore (UK). Even just FS numbers would help but I am unsure if WW2 had FS numbers? Any help please would be great.
  12. Anyone know if there is a resin seat out there, looked at Hannants and nothing for the corsair. Is the kit seat ok? Does it just need belts? I can't look at my kits yet as they still have not arrived.
  13. The price is a big factor as well, Hase kit in UK is £33 Tamiya £20 big price gap
  14. I have been reading: Robert Fabbi: Vespasian series which is about a roman on his climb in the social ladder Simon Scarrow: Eagle series about Cato and Macro 2 centurions in the Roman army. Very good reads I have not been able to stop, mind I have been reading them over the last 2 years as they are a lot of them. But then any good books on Ancient romans and I read it just these are best I read so far.
  15. Great work on the Intruder, I have the A model I think I store it right at the bottom now.
  16. I know it's not the same scale but it is still a large kit and would look nice next to this. But what I ment was are you planning to do the Merlin? As I love to see what you can do with it. I have it in my stash but it scares the hell out of me just now, not been back long and seem to be in a rut already but enough about and on with the show which I am very much enjoying.
  17. Wow great links and pics guys thank you watch out for my build post once I can decided between the Syraider and Crusader but no harm in prepairing for a build.
  18. Thanks for all the replies they have helped. I got the Tamiya F4U-1/2 and -1D on the way. Thought about getting seat belts as well but I have a loot at the kit first and see if they are needed or if a seat replacement is needed.
  19. WOW that's some amazing work right there. Have you thought about doing the Airfix 48th Merlin? That would look amazing next to this.
  20. Who makes the best 1/48 Corsair?
  21. Thanks guys but there used to be a site that only had cockpit pictures and nothing else. Is it still around?
  22. Hi All, Been trying to find some pictures of the F-8E cockpit I found a few on Google, but then I remembered there is a site that does just cockpits for a huge amount of AC. I just can't remember what it was called, does anyone know? Also if anyone has any decent pictures for the F-8E cockpit that they are will to share I be honoured.
  23. I have this book also and covers a lot of aircraft but there is a nice section on the Phantom I would recommend this for info on the Nam war.
  24. I like to see: SH-60B/F Ita kit is ok but needs work to make into a proper -60B HH-60H same as above F-100 family Trump kits nose is crap A-10 SeaKing family Hase kit is nice but dated and we could do with a new one Su-17/22 Mig-19
