Hey Tony, Any idea why we had those tires in the first place? Did we ever start using the spoked version of tires before switching to the 12 hole version? Brad

Hi Tony, Both kits that I have from GWH have the spoke type wheels and not the 12 hole version, so I need to source new wheels I guess. Even the Academy kit has the spoked version. Brad

Thanks John and Don. Brad

Ok, sounds great Tony, thanks. Brad

Am I correct in saying that everything was black, except in the early 70's when the instrument panels were painted a medium gray; 36231? I am starting my GWH kit and it's going to be a camouflaged bird in the 80's. Yes I have all the vents intakes sorted out :) Also, wheel wells, were they interior green or silver by the 80's? TIA Brad

My fav scheme as well! Nice pic. Brad

Thanks Darren for posting the pics. It's not perfect, but it gives me an idea as to what they might look like side by side. I'll build them both. I also has a Super Hornet 2/3's built that will have RCAF markings on it just because. :) Cheers all Brad

Guys, I have both the Hasegawa kit and the Kinetic CF-188 kit, and I am just looking for opinions if they both would look ok together side by side. For example, I have Hasegawa Mk IX Spitfires next to my Eduard ones, and you can sure tell who is who. Thanks Brad

Folks, Has anyone built both and placed them side by side for comparison? If so, any diffs to how they sit and look? TIA Brad

I believe the F-86-40 is the extended wing, which is too long for a Canadian Mk VI Sabre. Brad

Nope, been an assembler all me bloomin life :) Brad

Gents, Does anyone currently make these for the Hasegawa kit? I know CE did, but long out of production. Red Roo perhaps, or is that only for the Mk I-IV Sabres? I would pay a good price if the CE set became available...hint hint :) TIA Brad

Just checked my boxing, and the nav lights G15 and G16 are present, and my decals are perfect. Brad

So I just picked up the Squadron Walk Around book titled "UH-1 Huey Gunships" and there isn't very much at all regarding the UH-1D. Is there a reason? Was the -1D not considered a gunship perhaps? TIA Brad

How did you get it from them? I did the pre-order thing with them, and they told me they weren't releasing the kit until Mid-July. Brad
