cockpit detais added.. and landing light housing... modifed panel: everything has primed... ...then drybrushed... ...and painted :)

hi, here is planet models sf-260 kit. it has multimedia patts; resin fuselage, vac canopy, PE details and white metal landing gears and looks promising :) instrument panel... I'll try to add as much as possible to look bussy... added side wall details with a scriber; and front cowling.. I'll add landing lights later bare cockpit.... PE parts annealed to make them soften some PE from scrap bin and a piece of leftover resin part will be throttle levers

....

sorry, I've moved to topic to in progress section

and more wip photos

hi, I'll try to build a Turkish Airforce F-16D Block 50+ by using Tamiya 1/48 F-16C kit as a base... photo http://www.turkmilitary.com So, here are the donor kits and aftermarket parts I have: Tamiya F-16C B50 Hasegawa F-16F Kinetic F-16D Aires resin F-16 dual seatet cockpit for kinetic kit Aires resin F-16 landing gear bays for tamiya kit Aires resin GE engine exhoust for tamiya kit Hobbytime resin Turkish F-16 paratail and antenna set Voyager PE Master pitot set Eduard F-16C B50 PE for Tamiya kit Some Evergreen rods Some small bits from scrapyard here are the photos: du

hmm... looks familiar.. http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=26099

thanks a lot :)

I did not see any photos of nurnberg toy fair yet... any link?

new tool jaguar??? hmmm...I hope so.. but I think they will reissue old ESCI molds with new decals...

i think mm russian interior green mixed a litle bir of white will work for that primer color.

hmm.. tail markings are not at their correct position.. 00 numbers have to be parallel to tail base and/or rudder upper line...

sure, yes.. money=best available model but, do you really think that ins. sheets and decals costs 1/2 of the kit? if you put PE to a kit, why do you make an other one with "better" details? you can find PE sheets at eduard kits and you can buy an other one as "upgrade" but , size of the sheet is approx. same , so production cost is the same.. if so, why don't eduard put this "better" detailed PE to their own kits? so, as you say, it is about money... eduard and others see that average age of modellers are getting older. if you are old you have more money and they are trying to milk you as m

most exciting one was ... :) taken at tripoli international airport after discharging our cargo load at 2004

I do not understand why a company produces detail sets for its own products... if you can do it better, do it and put all of them in a box with the kit...

do not forget to add panel numbers.. they are really visible at actual airframe

babibi decals are mostly laser and/or ALPs printed... but some new editions are standart silk screen printed decals... there are some shape and color issues because of limited printing capabilities but it is the only one at most subjects...

not "Turkish feathers" dude ;)

yes

thank you very much.. so, I will use D kit with A cockpit :)

hi, I want to build an F-14B , VF74 bird.. I am not sure about the cockpit layout of F-14B, every photos I saw is different from each other, some says nearly same with A but RIO cockpit has a MFD instead of radar screen, others says it is nearly similar to D one... so, I have both F-14A and D kits at 48th scale of Hasegawa.. I know that D is a good starting point for it.. But, I am not sure about the cockpit.. Can anybody suggest a web site and/or give info about B cockpits? best regards

yes, they are working to translate it to english...

hi, here are the previews of upcoming 48th scale decals from Hobbytime Ordering pages in english will be ready within few weeks as the decals. Theye are regular decals, printed by Microscale . all three 1st AFB squadrons are covered, you can find all necessary info about them at newly published F-100 book some shapes were deformed because of copying issues. Actual decals do not have this irregularities. hope you like it, best regards
