John Is a great trader. Just finished a transaction very pleased! Regards Emil

As the title says I'm looking for the canopy pieces for the Monogram F-4C in 1/48th scale. Pm me if you do. Cheers Emil

Very nice build I'm sure Roto will enjoy it.

I was thinking what Nasa stuff I'd build...... how about F-18 such as HARV along with the regular chase birds.

Did some more work on the phantom. Not liking the fit of the cockpit. But this is not a perfect build it is intended to get my MOJO and concentration back. So far I've applied Mr Surfacer to see the many imperfections including a couple of finger prints. I still haven't glued the bottom to the fuselage. As there are gaps especially were the bottom fuselage comes to the nose section. There are several places this kit is lacking however the intent is to actually finish it. Cheers Emil

Dave watching how you put it together is cool! -
Nice Alf.....hope you did a manicure before your next pics. 😉 Cheers Emil

Thanks for the tip I will try that technique. Cheers Emil

Jim, I'm not an expert but I think the tanks all had the same volume. As for the nose gear, nobody will notice the short gear is fine. Cheers Emil

Having lost all my MOJO I haven't built anything in several years, I have decided to build the Monogram F-4C 1/48th scale. I will be using the Caracal decal sheet to finish it off in the Michigan ANG scheme. I will post my progress here. So far I'm not surprised of some parts being Ill fitting but it is a kit designed in the 1970s. This kit was missing the canopy so I will be using the Hasegawa kit canopies in the open position. The majority of this build will be out of the box. I got pretty heavy handed on sanding flash off where the flap meets wing. I thought I could live with i

Jim, I would think that when the ghost scheme was applied it was the darker colour. More than likely the lighter colours you see are because the paint faded. I believe soon after the ghost scheme was applied the CF-5 fleet was retired and Stored. Cheers Emil

Nice ALF! -
Since Phase Hanger Resin is doing an A-4K Kahu cockpit set and upgrade set would you consider a sheet for the NZAF A-4?

At least you trimmed them. 😜 -
MH-47G/F upgrade? Is there no one willing to do it in 1/48th scale?
Emvar replied to Emvar's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Dave, I think the best conversion was the Werners Wings 1/35th scale MH-47G. If that can be downsized it would be sufficient for all other models with the large tanks.... including the Canadian F models. It would also be nice to see options for the conical engine filters and the Dust bin version along with the Snowshoe Skiis for the landing gear. Regards Emil -
Nice builds Mike!

Learned alot about the 3D process.... also how approachable this fine man is talked a bit about everything. Looking forward to some real Legacy Hornet love with analog decals for the early A/B cockpits, although I like Quinta cocpit decals it is a shame to file off detail on resin cockpits. Cheers Emil

I think the original boxing would be the most appropriate. IIRC Iran never had the flat shark nose on their F-5Es.
