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

Guys, Would you recommend the Squadron In Action book for the Huey as a decent book for reference purposes? TIA Brad

Looks real good Floyd. My kit arrived yesterday, and it looks real nice indeed. Thanks again to all those involved. I like it so much, I ordered a second one. Cheers Brad

Thanks, Order placed. Brad

Hey Floyd, So did you need to drill new holes for the swashplate/actuator arms, ir do the arms just sit flush onto the plate? Thanks Brad

So are guys receiving their kits already from Squadron? Brad

Thanks Gary for the link, I'll order directly. Cheers Brad

Looks very nice indeed. I can't wait to get mine. Thanks once again to all involved in this project. I hope I can do it justice. Brad

$182.50 is retarded. Brad

Yup, we'll get to see it at the Abbotsford Airshow as well. Brad

Don't get me wrong, I love our flag and country, but it's a bit over the top for me. Brad

Thanks, but I'm not too crazy about paying over $100+ shipping. I know it's OOP and hard to find, but wow. I'd pay a good price, but that's almost as bad as WnW kit prices on Ebay. Thanks Brad

I wish Steve would add a "Like" button to the forums :) Brad PS: I love the idea. So many possibilities. It would give me an excuse to haul out my GWH T-33 and do it up as a CF bird.
