    How do I find 'Lucky Strike green'?

    Hi Rob-

     

    I think I read somewhere that they had to make the change from green to white when the war broke out.  They claimed that the chromium used for the green was needed for the war, which wasn't true.  Is it possible it might be a chromium-green color?  Maybe MCW Paints might be able to help.  He does a lot of race colors.

    Spent some time on the red webbing & canvas seats. I am curious about the nice padded blue seats by the wheel wells.  Are those VIP seats?  Or the pads they use for working on/around the jets?

    I believe they are.  Wouldn't surprise me if they are from the old Fat Albert

    Well, unless those people work for Tamiya, they really don't know. They are probably the same 'people' that swore to the almighty the ICM 1/35 CH-54 wasn't going to come to fruition. Remember, some 'people' also claimed the new Tamiya F-35B couldn't be true, because they had already released a re-boxing of the Italeri kit. 

     

    If they don't release an F-35C, no big deal. If they do though, I'm going to have a good laugh at those that claim they won't because "Japan doesn't fly the C". 

    2nd hand from the Tamiya people (which I know isn't necessarily fact), but I hope they do, IMHO its the best-looking one of the 3.  But we shall see...

    Just finished this kit as a side project while working on my F-35.  Its not a bad kit, just "old" Eduard.  The pilot is an F-106 pilot, but I altered his helmet to better represent the helmets of the era.   I had to use needles for the pitot and test probes as I broke the nose one.   Everything else is out of the box.  Not entirely happy with the orange.

    Looking for photos of the "new" Fat Albert C-130J cargo area.  I can't seem to find any.  I know the old one was slightly modified with different guest-ride seats.  I was curious if the new one was similar.  If I google search, they are all of the old ones, I've also been scrolling through their Facebook and Instagram accounts.   

     

    Thanks,
