I didn't know that, Darren. Thanks for the input.

Thanks Jari. The Tamiya pylons are not that detailed (when not using the tanks), so I think I won't use them.

Hi guys, two questions about Fast Eagle 102 in 1981. I can't find the information anywhere. I know that the loadout for the mission where two libyan Su-22 were downed was 2-2-2. My questions are: 1. Were the fuel tanks under the air intakes used? 2. Were the rear Phoenix pylons in place or removed? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll close the engine cover on this one, then.

Hi guys, I just got Eduard's/AK Interactive Bf109E-1/3 in 1/48th scale and I was wondering if it's possible to build the whole engine and put the engine cover on (without glue) and remove it to show the engine whenever I want, or if, instead, building the whole engine will make it impossible to put the engine cover on. The instructions are not 100% clear. I think it's possible, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I've been checking that website and that's where my information about the Il-2 comes from. I guess I'll go withe the other scheme offered by Hobby Boss.

Hi guys, I was wondering about the accuracy of the Hobby Boss 1/32 Il-2m with the green/black camo. The kit seems to depict a post-August 1943 Il-2m, but the paint scheme is from pre-August 1943 if I'm not mistaken. I was wondering if that camo scheme is correct for that plane or not.

Maybe AMK will release a third version of the MiG-31. This time an early type... hint hint.

Thanks!

Hmm... Then I have my versions mixed and this is still not the MiG-31 I'm looking for.

Wait... No decals for Soviet MiGs included? :(

I'm probably going with the neomega seat, hoping it fits the kinetic kit.

Thanks. Seeing this photo makes me realise how naked the sidewalls on the kinetic kit are...

Thanks Jennings. What about side consoles? Gray too, right?

Kinetic says I should paint the Frs.1 panel in black, but I thought I should paint it using the same colour as the rest of the cockpit. What is the correct colour for a late 80s jet? Also, what's the best aftermarket seat in 1/48th scale?

Thanks, guys!

Thanks Antoine. My best guess is that no outer wing pylon would be used in that situation. Any idea? I'm using the Kinetic kit, so I'm guessing I can use part E47. By the way, Kinetic really needs to improve their manuals. Better diagrams, better colour callouts and better Desktop Publishing checks. Step 1 of the instructions is repeated on the FRS.1. They made such a nice model and then it looks they got lazy doing the manual.

Hi, in a Cold War scenario where a Sea Harrier is on an anti-ship mission, what would be the most likely loadout? I'm thinking Sea Eagle missiles, but i'm not sure if 1 or 2 and if sidewinders or fuel tanks would be added. Thanks in advance, Ricardo

Just wondering... If we buy all the Zacto parts, this cockpit and other stuff that's available to correct the Revell kit... what parts of the Revell kit will we end up using?

Thanks guys. I hope I can post the build. Ijust ordered the paints from a Spanish store but won't be able to start working on it until next year, as I'm moving (again).

Hi guys, I've just recently purchased Zvezda's 1/72 Su-27SM in 1/72 and was wondering which set of Akan paints I should get for Option 2, an Su-27SM3, Red 51, Krymsk 2013. I'm guessing it's set 47319, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance.

I usually only build Cold War stuff (and, don't ask me why, I prefer the mid 80s), but I might break that rule with this kit.. Or wait for an early MiG-31...

The clear parts go over the plastic ones or I'm not seeing well?

Hi guys, what's out there for an early MiG-29 9.12 (the first 100 that were built)? I'm using the GWH kit. I think the kit also brings the parts for a "late" 9.12, but I'm not sure, that's why I want to use what's in the box. In any case, I want to build a Soviet Fulcrum in the 80s. TIA, Ricardo
