Caught wind of this on Cybermodeler this week. https://www.gaugemasterretail.com/italeri-1473-us-c-119g-air-tanker.html Has anyone else heard of this? Matt

Question - anyone have complete information on the camo pattern used on Ethiopean C-119s? Some examples: Matt😎

Looks like an interesting site. Matt😎

Primarily the build itself. but info on the aircraft is welcome. Matt

I've been trying to track down information on an older Bf-109E build (saved pictures several years ago) with no success. Does this look familiar to anyone ? Pics are below. Matt😎

Found this picture a few years ago.

If you do go this route would you consider doing a 1/72 International C-119 sheet in the future? Matt

I've been looking for full information on the desert camo pattern worn by Ethiopian/Jordanian C-119s in the 1970s, but all I have been able to find are side pictures (link): https://477768.livejournal.com/6580770.html?view=comments Anybody have any topside pictures/camo diagrams? TIA, Matt

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.

Does anybody know when the "feathers" were first removed from the exhaust nozzles? The reason why I'm asking is that I have the Monogram 1/72 kit, and I want to keep it as close to an OOB build as possible. Matt

Might be in the area next February - what aircraft are on static display? TIA, Matt😎

Seeing as someone (don't remember who) is scheduled to release a 1.48 B-26K, I'll replace it with a 1/48 AP-2H Matt

🤔😏

This is how it appears on the decal sheet:

1) Does anyone know what C-130s wore the 2-tone desert camo back in the 70s (or where I can find this info). Several internet searches have turned up empty. 2) Is the USAF serial number (12958) included with the 1/72 Italeri C-130E/H kit real or fake? I have been unable to find any information on it. Matt😎

I am trying to dig up information on a C-119 paint scheme (Ethiopia). Does anybody know of any specific websites/resources that can be of some help? I've only been able to find a few pictures on the internet. Matt😎

Good list right here. Matt

New tool 1/48: 1. B-24D 2. B-17F 3. B-26B Marauder 4. B-26K Counter-Invader 5. Su-25 Matt😎

Any idea when this kit will be available in the states? I've only seen it for sale on Ebay. Matt😎

Just means you need a new shelf. Matt

BTW, do you have any info on the hobby shop you referenced?

I'm down here in North Charleston - there's a small group that meets on the second Saturday of the month: https://www.facebook.com/groups/132211970134903/ Matt

Sounds interesting - any pics? Matt
