How is the fit of the Reedoak figures in the Hasegawa F-16's? I've used them in the Tamiya kits and know they fit superb there, but that is because they were designed for the Tamiya F-16 (atleast the F-16 pilots 😉 )

OK, I can live well with that little difference, then each will have to make up their own mind.

Reviwing an OLD thread here. I've seen that the Kinetic F-5 series is too short in length, mainly in the nose area. Has anyone considered matching the Kinetic F-5A rear fuselage with the AFV front fuselage? 🤔

Following with interest 🙂

Haha 😄 In my younger years, I tend to build fighters with correct unit markings, but more than likely ficticious individual aircraft but lots of kill markings. Made for one hell of a dogfight and I won them all 😇

I love the way you think 😁😁 Might just do that, given that this seems to be difficult to get a definitive answer on 👍

Nice!

Thanks, that is the plan provided I can figure out which B-24D's in Europe carried the belly turret. The J is all worked out, so no issues there.

Thanks, appreciate the effort. I've seen that the Revell/Monogram B-24D do not have a ball turret, but should be straight forward to use one from the J kit, and as I will be building my J as an H2X equipped I will have what I need. I see that several of the Kits-World B-24D's for the Ploesti raid seem to have the belly turret, but not sure of the accuracy of this as there is no specific mentioning of them?

Hi I have aquired the right decals and replacement parts to make a H2X equipped B-24J model from the Monogram kit, which will leave me a surpluss belly turret I can install on a future B-24D model. Despite many mods, the B-24D did carry the manned belly turret, but it is difficult to find which units (Europe/MTO) or blocks of the B-24D had these? Anyone know or can point me in the direction of where I may find the answer? Thanks!

You can also get them from Skunkworks kit IDF Weapons Set #2, Skunkmodels 48002 (2015)

Kursad, I think we need some AFRC love;

Yes

Apparently confirmed by a representative from Dassault too. Not naming any serials from what I've seen, but the photo of the vertical tail can hardly be called a fake 😉 What a bummer for the French and Dassault. Guess there will soon enough be some J-10E's with Indian kill markings on them....?

They are. The B has been observed with the 600 gallon tanks, but not seen any of the A's with them. Both of these pics however show the regular 370 gallon tanks.
