    Would love to see some in 1/72.

     

    If anyone is looking to make some decals in 1/72, I was at Phancon 2016 and would be happy to send them my photos of the QF-4 ramp.

     

    I got pretty close:

    Desperately L/F 1/72 RAAF Mirage IIIO decals and Mk4 seat

    in Buy and sell - add scale to your title

    Posted

    Hi there everyone,

    I'm about to start work on the High Planes Mirage IIIO kit, and I was hoping someone, preferably someone in the USA, had decals for a silver Mirage based in Malaysia in the 1960s, since I was hoping to do kind of a theme build to go with my RAF 74 Squadron Lightning F6. Does anyone have a set of decals that would answer, along with a MB Mk4 seat? I'm happy to swap my High Planes 2 OCU Mirage III decal set, or money via paypal for them. Let me know, and thanks for looking!

    I may have slightly overreached myself this month in my purchasing. As a result, I've had to reassess my stash, and there's just some things I likely won't be building, including a lot of my US Vietnam stuff and a few WWII heavy bombers.

    The prices below don't include shipping; I ship from 60040 in Illinois and my preference is US Priority Mail, but I'm willing to go with slower/cheaper options if you don't need the speed and security of USPS Priority. I very much prefer Paypal for payment.

    I don't really have any trade wants for these, EXCEPT correction sets for the Airfix Vulcan or Valiant, and the Revell Matchbox Victor (particularly the Flightpath B.1 conversion for the Victor). But otherwise I just need to sell.

    I also posted this over at Hyperscale and at the 1/72 aircraft forum.

    Academy Minicraft B-17E "RAF Coastal Command" $22 - SOLD

    Hi all, some recent trips to the ER with my wife have finally borne bitter fruit in the form of a bill for all the things our (actually pretty good) insurance DIDN'T cover. In the spirit of every little bit helping, I'm reducing my stash a little to help cover the resultant shortfall.

    All prices include shipping anywhere in the Continental USA; anywhere else, we can work something out. I take paypal. Normally I like a good trade, but given the circumstances, I'd have to pass on trading this time around.

    1/72 Academy F/A-18A Hornet "Australian/Canadian/Spanish Hornet" includes Leading Edge Academy Hornet masking set $25

    1/72 Eduard Airco DH-2 includes paint mask $15

    Let me know!

    Speaking as someone IN THE SYSTEM! I appreciate your words. Maybe the best thing for an example on JSF would be to have both Boeing and Lockheed Martin win contracts. The one who can better deliver a suitable platform and on budget would get the larger order. This would more likely create COMPETITION for sales. It would give incentives for the manufactures to deliver platforms meeting requirements and on budget or closer to it.

    The British found this system to be more expensive than it was worth with the Swift and Hunter.

    The MiG-15 shot down by Risner on 9/15/52

    Interesting. One would think that given the spectacular nature of the fight, that the incident would have been well-documented on the Russian side as well. That's kind of disappointing that, IMO, the evidence seems to incline towards the kill not happening, or not happening as Risner remembered it, sort of like that RN Sea Fury vs. MiG-15 claim. I wonder if his gun camera footage is still extant?

    FS/T: 1/350 Modern Royal Navy / NOW ALSO FOR TRADE

    (This is cross-posted from here: http://www.network54.com/Forum/409174/message/1387688788/FS-+1-350+Modern+Royal+Navy+ship+package)

    Hi there, I bought some 1/350 ships a while ago (I'm a plane guy), and realized I probably won't be getting around to building them any time soon, and that, actually, I'd rather convert them, as if by alchemical process, into more 1/72 planes. So.

    I'm offering the below as a lot for $85, shipping included, to anywhere in the continental USA. (If you live elsewhere, contact me, we can work somnething out shippingwise.) I'm afraid I can only take paypal.

    Airfix 1/350 Type 45

    Airfix 1/350 Trafalgar class

    Hobbyboss 1/350 HMS Astute

    Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Montrose

    While I'm still interested in selling them if someone wants to buy, I'd also be happy to trade them en bloc or individually now. I'm in 60654, and I'm currently most interested in the 1/72 MPM Meteors (and the 1/72 Dragon Meteor III), but I'm willing to entertain any other offers. My preferences are UK/Commonwealth/Lend-lease aircraft in 1/72 from between 1939-1990, so there's a lot of ground that could conceivably be covered.

    Squadron Sale Sucks

    I don't shop at Mal-Wart either. There's nothing you can get from Squadron (or Mal-Wart) that you can't get for as good, or darn close to as good a price from someone else. I know enough about some of the principals at MMD to know I don't want my dollars going there.

    Can you elucidate?

    Which Raptor in 1/72?

    I think it's odd that they haven't yet but they are coming out with an F-35. I could've sworn they had one in development. Maybe the 48th scale kit has made them gun-shy...[/font][/size]

    Not that odd, the JASDF can't buy the F-22.
