Wafu

That’s the one, many thanks.

Hi all. Can anyone help, has there been a USN ship with the Phalanx mounted on the quarter deck or above the hangar? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Gino.

Hi, very quick question to the 60 family experts. Has the USCG ever fitted ski shoes to its Jayhawk’s? I’ve seen the USAF with standard ski’s but not the USCG, got to wonder they would need them in Alaska, if so how is the twin tail wheel accommodatated? Cheers in advance.

Hi all, A quick question for all the P-47 experts out there, I’d like to build either a 1/48 or 1/32 P-47 flown by Cptn Quentin Aanenson, USAF in Northern France, 1944. Does or did any of the decal manufacturers print the decals for his machine, I think it’s Topsy, or at least this one was the one he crashed. Thanks in advance.

andyf117, that’s the one I’ve been working on today. Leaking Tail gearbox input shaft seal. That and GZ are the two we have at Newquay. That’s the one I’ve been working on today, leaking tail input seal, not an uncommon fault on the 92.

A really solid start to the build Tim, I do like the modular approach to building.

Well that’s me corrected then😉

I’d buy and build more than one, especially as I work on the U.K. ones with Bristow😁 I guess it’s the old chestnut regarding licensing, greedy corporate suits with deep pockets.

Do you guys know of any of the aftermarket decal manufacturers doing the toned down decals for the B and F kits?

PM sent😁

Can anyone point me to some good reference for the White and grey scheme of the early ‘B’s? I’d like to do one of the smaller ship aircraft, not a carrier bird.

Thanks for the replies, it’s much appreciated. After a weekend of google hunting I’ve drawn a blank on the decals recommend. These too seem rare as hens teeth, but thanks for giving me more than one option to look for.

A question for the Eagle guys on here. I’d like to model my Tamiya 1/32 F-15’s in markings of the Lakenheath based squadrons. That’s all well and good but I can’t seem to find any decal options to allow this, can anyone help me with advice on achieving this? I’ve asked Daco to reprint the 1/32 decal sheet but I can’t see this happening this side of my lifetime, so it’s down to you eagle experts to advise me. Thanks in advance

Jayhawks, all day, every day.

Now all that’s needed is the U.K. importer to pull their fingers out and get them over here, just saying.

Hi, this is a long shot but does anyone have this sheet, or part sheet they’d like to part with? https://www.dacoproducts.com/ Ive tried contacting them direct but they seem off the grid, so a plea for help in finding this sheet. Thanks in advance for your help.

It seem’s weird to me that weighted wheels, white metal u/c and a small colour cockpit etch is ‘extra’.

I didn’t know anyone did decals for the Pave Low in 1/48, or have I got the wrong end of the stick on that?

A tinted canopy would be the obvious, well it would be for me😉

Thanks for the information, pressing on with my Revell 1/48 conversion.

Hi, A quick couple of questions regarding the MH-53 Pavelow. The cockpit upper glazing colour, is it smoke or dark green? Or is it something else? Secondly, the support struts fitted from the upper airframe to the sponsons, I see pictures with and without, any reason when they came in and why (apart from the obvious, to support the sponsons) Cheers in advance.

You have a very nice looking Tomcat, well done to you.

And this is a link to my finished build. I ended up printing the pod. Apologies but I can’t for the life of me load photos on this forum so here’s a link to BM.. https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235070165-132-trumpeter-fa-18f/
