Hi-ya, Hoops? I don't have the Italeri decals but if you can't find what you're looking for, maybe a set from Model Alliance might be useful. I have one set for the example (I believe with the red vertical stabilizer?) you're looking for and one with a large, white Cross of Lorraine on a red vertical stabilizer. Just let me know, I've got you covered! WARDOG

Hi Storm, Great story, wish I were there to hear it! Anyway, Andy is absolutely correct; the Airfix/MPC kit is definitely the best one around, if you can find it! I am building mine as an Israeli CH-53 Ya'sur bird. Even though the Wingman resin is made to fit the Italeri kit, I will grind the parts down (especially the engine intake filters!) to MAKE them fit onto the superior Airfix kit! Best Wishes, WARDOG

Academy Rafale C new or Revell Re-box, same as M?
Glynn Jacobs replied to DarkKnight's topic in Jet Modeling
IF the Revell kit is a re-box of the Italeri kit, it will have a number of issues. The ones that easily come to mind are; minimal cockpit detail, incorrect exhaust port grill behind cockpit, no radar-absorbing triangles on wings and empennage (tail planes), limited weapons/fuel tanks, and it is basically the prototype shape. I will check to see what parts Revell added to the kit to improve it like the IRST gear in front of the wind screen. The Italeri kit has one advantage over the HB kit though; it is 1/72nd scale while the HB kit is a bit less than 1/72nd in scale. -
Sword 1/72 #SW72142 North American T-39A Sabreliner - Open Box Review
Glynn Jacobs replied to Dutch's topic in Jet Modeling
Hi-ya, Dutch! Thanks for the review. It looks like a pretty nice KIT and I just MIGHT have to get one of the Navy birds for old memories sake! Take Care, WARDOG -
Italeri 1/72 CH-53E release date?
Glynn Jacobs replied to fasteagle12's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Well, According to the pic on Scalemates, the "new" kit has the sponson mounted E.C.M. gear but I don't ser any .50cals sticking out the window! I guess it's a start! WARDOG -
Hi Gabor, Yes, those are the ones! I saw them on your previous post but wasn't sure if they are available. Beautiful work! You have definitely captured the head rest shapes! I definitely could use a couple of them! Take Care, WARDOG

Well, I guess I'll be sticking with my old Bilek MiG-19S kit with Pavla cockpit and separate Bilek F-6 resin bits. I sure wish SOMEBODY would make the correct seat for the Pakistani Bird, though! WARDOG

US Navy modern jet pilot, sitting, by Reedoak
Glynn Jacobs replied to norbert's topic in Jet Modeling
BEAUTIFUL work, Norbert! Looking forward to more of your work. Continued Success, WARDOG -
I stand corrected! Heller did, in fact, send me the needed exhaust for my Mirage F.1CR kit and at no charge! I confused that part with another deal I had with one of my mates. WARDOG

Westland Lynx in 1/72 - Hobby Boss or Revell
Glynn Jacobs replied to Sausage's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Yeah, I think the old Airfix kit beats the Hobby Boss kit in a few areas. I ended up buying a few HB sprues for the clear "foot" windows, the intake screens, and some cabin details. I will use them on my Airfix Lynx AH.7 and Lynx Mk.4(FN) projects along with some Airfix HMA.8 B.E.R.P. blades and tail rotors. I am also considering making a German Navy Mk.88A but I'll need another HMA.8 kit for the rotors. Cheers, WARDOG -
That's good information to have, Gwen. I tried to get an exhaust cone for my 72nd Mirage F.1CR but to no avail. I was able to get one from one of my mates, though. Thank You, WARDOG

LF: 72nd Decals for Trade
Glynn Jacobs replied to Glynn Jacobs's topic in The Spares Box - add scale to your title
List up-dated! Found items removed! -
Yeah, Joanna was who I dealt with about six months ago for some 72nd Lynx clear parts and cabin details. A little bit, but not overly pricey but, I needed the parts for my Airfix kits (the correct sized "foot windows", the mesh intake covers, and some cabin details!). The parts arrived in a timely manner too! Good Luck, WARDOG

Hi Patrick, Any thoughts on the accuracy of these colors? I am having a very hard time getting accurate French colors for my Mirage III, Mirage IV, SeM, Super Frelon, Mirage 2000C, Cruze, and Rafael M too. I wish SOMEONE in France would start a paint company that produced accurate colors for all my French birds! Merci Bien, Glynn

Hi All, Anybody here know which modern French Armor colors are more accurate, Hataka or AK Interactive? I am (eventually) building a French Army Puma and an A.L.A.T. Gazelle (as soon as Air Graphics produces their Gazelle up-date with Vivianne sight!) and will be using the armor Terre Brun, Noir, and NATO Vert I.R. Any thoughts and assistance will be appreciated. Thanks, WARDOG

VERY NICE! But I see I'm STILL waiting for those 72nd scale Osan A-10C decals to come out! WARDOG
-
Hi All, If anyone has this kit and is not using the Portuguese Air Force decals and stencils, I would be more than happy to buy or trade for them. For Trade, I have a set of the correct Pavla MB Mk.4 AJRM4 seats as used in the French and Belgian birds (the kit incorrectly includes Stencel seats from German/Thai/Portuguese jets!) or a lot of 72nd scale decals Thank you for looking, WARDOG

Roger that, Charlie D. I use denatured alcohol with my Gunze Sangyo paints but wasn't sure what would work with the Model Master stuff. Thanks, WARDOG

Yes Roy, I have an extra set from the Fujimi kit that I robbed for parts to sell with a vacuum-formed C-2 that I sold. Cheers, Glynn -
Thanks, Air mechanism!
