  1. I'm ver angry. the kit even in small details has mistakes. Why manufacturer didn't find information which is on any web-site dedicated to the ships and didn't use it?is It a great chineese wall for them?! :bandhead2:/> Kit Real
  2. The result of a long period is: i've made elevetor's base. Unfortunately, i couldn't make it perfectly.
  3. I need help. Manufacturer didn't give anything for the hangar deck. Could anybody give me the dimensions of details from trumpeter's kits CV-9, CV-10, CV-13, CV-14? Scale 1/350 or 1/700 Progress
  4. Everyone does anybody know the contact details (for feedback) of F4Models?
  5. and "Tilly" crash crane (60`-70`)
  6. I am looking for information on deck tractors MD-1, MD-3: dimensions, schemes, detailed photos.
  7. Only USAF, Navy/Marine Corps did not use them
  8. Continue working. Made holes, where it's necessary:
  9. Found one more manufacturer's mistake. There aren't 3 portholes on the left side:
  10. i wanted to participate with f6f-5c of france airforces which were based in indo china. they left Vietnam in 1954 (before 55 which is indicated in your rules). may i participate in groupbuild?
  11. I have some model kits of the aircrafts which took part in Vietnam war from the part of France. I could join the groupbuild with them if you don't mind.
  12. The kit is still causing troubles for me. Bow is awful. I fixed problem with the bulb only from the 3rd attempt (grey colour). I made the hole in the hull for anchor, also i made some other holes which are seen on the real ship. Also i lined fore and bottom part of ship where i found the seam from molds. Place bonding of details of the hangar deck weren't on the one level(i noticed it during the first view) Also i made hole in the hangar deck under elevator.
  13. Hello everyone. i began working with this kit. I've already told about some moments related to this model: link. This work will be continued, later i'll show you fotos of my building. Some details aren't ready yet.
  14. E-150 is development of mig21 line and has similar engine mig25. I think that you should pay attention to this fact. Take cockpit and canopy form mig21 and inner part of nozzle from mig25. There are much insufficient information about it, so you will not make big mistake.
  15. Erik , thank you. Now I understand all the elements. I have found here is a foto (stupid, I forgot to look there). I know what I need to do. B) Once again I thank everyone for their help.
  16. Thank you for the scheme. The principle of work I had previously understood. I'm interested in the channel itself behind the cockpit. My thoughts:
  17. I'm looking for fotos of the cut on which moves rear end of canopy. My fotos don't allow to understand this element. I know, that there must be a cable in that place. it is questionable, because there can be cut in that place. May be someone have good fotos of this unit?

  19. Conclusions Here i can't criticize anything, because i have approximative schemes and drawings and i can't control their precision. I can take the decision only after full assemby of the model. The mistakes can exist, but all details have simple shape and not require difficult modifications. Traditionally screw does not look like itself, it represents "somerhing with wings". Complex helical shape of the blade propeller? Pfff... But Hasegawa performed it. And i can't replace these scerwes. G-Factor on the trumpeter's "Essex-class" has some problems with geometry: Materials were taken from: n
  20. Greetings comrade. I am not registered on the site, which is dedicated to a ship models. It would be nice if you advise me such web-stie where i can get help. Also i'll be glad to perform comparative build-in-progress of Ticonderoga with you. i think it will be nice experience. but i must warn that i will not begin modelling of this kit not earlier than next year. Admiral Kuznetsov isn't included in my model shortlist. I have munimum information about it.Continue examining plastic. Step2 Plastic kit original
  21. Thank you. I am glad that the information is useful for you. I don't have all these kits, but their images in the network give adequate representation to make proper conclusions. Unfortunately the increase of price does not correspond to the work which was done by the manufecturer. Trumpeter did a better job at a lower price. The lack of detail of hangar deck,mistakes in the elements of the flight deck and other parts (i'll explain later, when the materials will be ready). Also I would like to notice that there are few aircrafts and and air equipment in the box. It limits modeler's posibiliti
  22. Attention. Hereinafter will be presented materials which are available in internet. My goal is not to get any benefit, using these materials. My goal is to tell my colleagues about the differences between this plastic kit and real ship. I can't trace all Copyright Infringements. If you have found any infringements please contact with me. Peration 1. hangar deck. Plastic: Original: Foto from the ship of the same class as Hornet: Conclusions: 1 It's very good, that manufacturer imitated hangar plates and their fasteners. It's dificult to calculate theit measurements, but their perf
  23. Bought model CV-11 Intrepid. Now i'm exploring the kit and and collecting the information about this ship. If you're interested, I can make the review of this kit. Now I am looking for the fotos of hangar deck. Possibly manufacturer forgot to add some details.
  24. Very nice decals set. Does exist possibility that the same set will appear in 72th scale? I would buy it immediately, because nobody performs decals of the SEA camo in 1/72
  25. So, I begin working with the b-47 kit. I chose the board RB-47H 53-4302 from the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing. 55ер SRW of them were used (not regularly) in different operations over the territory of South and Noth Vietnam in the early stages. I didn't find any data where it is said that these spy planes based in Vietnam. Although in some sources I read, that some of them were on the Ben Hoa base (missions with Hercules and drones). However I didn't find any fotos with such modifications, only with scout weather modification (maybe these aircrafts participated in missions with DC-130 a
