[Need Optional Part for 1/48 P-47D (Dorsal Fin)]

Hello all,

 

I am looking for this 1/48 optional part for P-47D.  Could you please look in your spares and see if you might have this?

 

This is the optional dorsal fin for 1/48 P-47D. This came with Hasegawa, Tamiya, Revell and many other makes included this in their sprues.

 

Please check the attached photos of the sprue and also where the part sits.  Please let me know if you might have one. Many thanks.

 

Alex

 

 

 

[Need Help with IIAF P-47D Dorsal Fin]

Hello guys,

 

Here is my problem and my question.

 

Today, I went to start building my long over due IIAF 1/48 P-47. I had purchased this old Testors P-47 yeas ago.

 

FYI, IIAF received quite a few P-47D's from USAF as military aid in the 50's. Now, unlike all the 1/48 P-47D's, seems like there is a dorsal fin in IIAF Thunderbolts as marked with the red arrow here.

 

Any suggestion what is the best way to tackle this?

I know this is an obscure model kit of an obscure subject, but ever consider doing markings for the Hobbycraft CF-100?  
 

these guys got me thinking about it:

I have this kit, but the kit decals are sorry and there is not much out there for aftermarket.

 

Hey Corey,

 

I suggest you print your own decals. You can do magic. There are tutorials online, if you are interested. 

[Need a 1/48 Hobbycraft CF-100 Mk V]

Hi guys,

 

I am looking for a 1/48 Hobbycraft CF-100 Mk V. I have a Mk IV already so I am only interested in Mk V.

 

I can either buy or trade. I live in Toronto, Canada. PayPal only. 

 

I have these models for trade, if you are interested. My models are either open box/sealed parts or sealed box.

[Hobbycraft 1/48 CF-100 Mk. IV vs. Mk. V]

Well said, Don. It is not that known or even popular among modelers but it is very nostalgic. I am planning to build CF-100, CF-101 and CF-104 this winter. 

[Hobbycraft 1/48 CF-100 Mk. IV vs. Mk. V]

Thank you, Don. I was hoping for a different answer though. You are right. The wing extensions and lack of gun bay in Mk. V are the main differences between the two. I have a Mk. IV myself and was planning to build a Mk. V out of it hoping it has all the parts but guess not. 

[Hobbycraft 1/48 CF-100 Mk. IV vs. Mk. V]

Hello all,

 

Can anyone please confirm that these two old models by Hobbycraft were in fact the same in the box,  but with different box art and decal sheets, one for Mk. IV and the other for Mk. V? 

[Cockpit Detail Set for A-5C Fantan]

Hello gents,

 

I would appreciate your suggestions regarding this topic. 

 

Pavla has a MiG-19 cockpit set. Neomega does too. I am not sure which one to choose. 

 

I tried to find some cockpit shots of the A-5C Fantan but not much luck. Any idea?

 

[Need 1/32 F-14A Decals/Stencils]

Guys,

 

This will be my last post in this thread.

 

It is unfortunate to see how your words are misinterpreted and how you are attacked and bullied by some members. To all the helpers, thank you for your support. To all the haters, I will never be bullied or intimidated.

 

If you check my very first post it ends like: "Please PM me if you have one to give away. Thank you." This does not mean, nor does it imply any demand. I simply asked whoever might have one to give away, to PM me. This simply excludes anyone who doesn't have one, or has one but doesn't want to give it away. As simple as that. No need to be mean or lecture on how I should have done this or that. No need to judge or be sarcastic. 

 

We all share the same passion of making models here. If you can help a fellow modeler, do so. If you can't or if you are not willing to, then don't. Nothing good comes out of being mean and bitter to another member. 

 

If I followed up on this thread after a year, it was only because I thought it fell through the cracks and got forgotten. I was only curious.

WOW...how old are you guys ...12? 

 

The lack of understanding and friendship in this thread is appalling.

 

As the old saying says: Silence is the best response to a fool.

I want a 1/32 F-14 in case anyone has one they want to get rid of. I won't pay a dime though. Please take the time to respond to my via private messaging, so we can work out the shipping details and how exactly I want it packed for Priority Express.

 

If you are being sarcastic, that is cheap.

If you really need a free F-14, I have a 1/48 Revell F-14A. If interested, let me know your zip code and I can work out the shipping quote.

1/32 decals are expensive. Most of us don't just have spare stencil sheets laying around. I drew up my own to print off at need for that very reason.

 

Thank you for your reply. I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

[Final Flat Coat Problem]

Thank you, Joel. The reason I asked if decanting is a good idea is that I had just opened a new rattle can and didn't want to waste it. 

[Final Flat Coat Problem]

Thank you, guys. I guess I should not use Testors lacquer flat clear rattle can anymore.

 

BTW, is it possible to decant it and airbrush it for better control? Has anyone ever done it?

[Best panel wash, non enamel based?]

So far, I have used TAMIYA panel line wash on Future glossed model with TAMIYA acrylic paint underneath. The wash itself never damaged the paint but when I clean up the wash with enamel thinner(as recommended by TAMIYA wash bottle) it eats through Future and damages the paint underneath. I am done with Future. Converting to TAMIYA gloss(X-22)
