  1. Many thanks Ben! Wonder what the previous one was called. I don't recall having heard of another manual like that. Wonder what it was called so the search for one can start. :) Jorge.
  2. I have dowloaded copies from 1964, 1978 and 1994. Wondering when the first issue dates from. TIA, Jorge.
  3. Perfect! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the subject. Best regards, Jorge.
  4. Eerm... your last three pictures are of a model aircraft. Don't think they count as valid reference... http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal13/12001-12100/gal12078-FB-111-Bettencourt/00.shtm Jorge.
  5. Many thanks for all the replies gentlemen! Closer to giving the stuff a try now. Curt, that's a fantastic looking B-36! Jorge.
  6. This picture is reportedly taken when it took off from Runway 01 at Atsugi AB, on 27 September 1977, before crashing due to an engine fire. It definitely has the short exhausts. Jorge.
  7. OMG! Hope you can complete the research soon and you consider a 1/72 sheet, which is sorely needed!!! Jorge.
  8. I hate acrylics and don't trust them, even less so if I have to apply another coat of paint on top of them! Why not an enamel base, which in my opinion should be a lot stronger? What's the catch with this product? TIA, Jorge.
  9. Great! That's one I didn't have. Many thanks! Jorge.
  10. I meant to say nose sections, one applicable for IIIC and the other for the longer IIIE. That's assuming the Italeri C and Kinetic E will come from the same mold, which seems to be the case. Jorge.
  11. The CAD has some weird perspective, so it is hard to be sure, but generally speaking it looks OK. The underwing tanks look like having a nose-up attitude though... I am more interested in the Kinetic E, but will not buy either until sprue shots and pictures of built up models are shown. It will be interesting to see if they provide entirely new fuselages for both versions, or just different noses. On the plus side, Kudos to the designers for providing the windscreen the way they did. Finally somebody is producing that part in a modeler-friendly way! Jorge.
  12. Awesome! Many thanks. :) Jorge.
  13. Here's a link to a build article that may be of help: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal3/2801-2900/Gal2880-F-15-Cornett/00.shtm Hasegawa released this exact plane in both 1/72 and 1/48, including the uniquely shaped MERs (name?) that only this aircraft ever used. Check the links to see what each model inlcudes. 1/72: http://modelingmadness.com/scott/mod/15epreview.htm 1/48: http://www.model-making.eu/products/item_name-176369.html Both models are basically F-15Bs with new parts for the Conformal Fuel Tanks and weapons. Hope this is of any help. Jorge.
  14. Check, that is just perfect, many thanks! I had a lot of doubts about what I was seeing in pictures, and you have cleared them all in one swipe. My build will be able to get unstalled now. Highly appreciate your time and education, as I am not that well versed in the Tornado. Yours truly, Jorge.
  15. Many thanks for the replies, gentlemen! Michael, your explanation is just terrific. I searched high and low, believe me, but was becoming really frustrated as I couldn't get any facts! I have a Microscale sheet for it in 1/72. Will check later how accurate it is. So all my questions will be answered in Don Logan's book. I have a lot of Phantom books but have been unable to catch up with the latest ones. Will have to get one when I can. I had checked Don Logan's page, but unfortunately no pics of Spunky there: http://www.sharpshooter-maj.com/html/twtd02.htm Many thanks for all the details
  16. Thanks for the replies, gentlemen. I would have thought that, even though it's just a "shape", they would have been interested in keeping the thing out of anybody's sight. Best regards, Jorge.
  17. Here's some pics of the "blocked" intake in the Italeri 1/72 Tornado F.3. Is that a good match to anything the actual aircraft has inside the intake, or should I remove it? Googled to no avail! Thanks in advance! Jorge.
  18. Many thanks JMHO. It looked like a nuclear bomb to me, but I was finding it quite odd it would be displayed at an open day. In any case, it is very interesting to confirm what it was and have a picture of it mounted under and F-100! Here's the link from where the picture comes from: http://home.arcor.de/jabomm/open%20days.html My german is not very good, so I may very well be mistaken. Best regards, Jorge.
  19. This is the only one I have been able to find: Any idea of the correct serial number for it? I have seen sources mentioning it was a FY 67, 68 and even 66 airframe. Anybody know for sure? Decals and profiles only serve to confuse things! Also, you will note that in the picture I posted it doesn't have artwork on the right intake side. Would be great to know if it was actually there at some poit in time. At least one decal manufacturer provides decals for both sides. Any PICTURES of the actual aircraft would be most welcome. Many thanks in advance! Jorge.
  20. Open day at Memmingerberg base in Germany, May 5, 1984. TIA! Jorge.
  21. Assuming by "Revell" you mean the Monogram/Revell kit and not the original Revell kit, I would like to see a part to represent the inflatable fairing (name?) when the wing is in the full forward position, to save one from the trouble of having to do this: I would also like to have some improvement to get a better parts fit inside the intake trunks! :wacko: Jorge.
  22. Don't know of an up-to-date link, but hope this is what you are looking for: Cheers, Jorge.
  23. Back to original topic, which was for aircraft during the Vietnam War. Another one from The F-4 Phantom Facebook group, pictures by Paul Erlendson: F-4D 65-0781, 366 TFW, Da Nang during the winter of 68-69. Note three gun pods. Jorge.
  24. Here's a couple more (net pics): The compilation in your link is very nice, but you should dispense with the information and pictures of the american 1000 lb bomb with british fin combination. THAT "COMBO" WAS NOT USED DURING THE WAR and its inclusion there is hence incorrect. Best regards, Jorge.
  25. Don, your post made me think: aren't the napalm canisters in the Monogram A-1 converted Aero 1Cs? The shape may not be perfect, but they are there... Also, for what it might be worth, the Czech Model Skyknight appears to make an attempt to represent them, but the shape is very poor: Of course, with Harold producing new resin ones, this reply is kind of superfluous, isn't it? Jorge.
