P-51D Seat
in Props
I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that there were different P-51D seats, I thought they were standardized.
Hopefully someone will be along soon with the correct information.

The "beer can" fairing was added during one of the upgrades (ICAP 1?).

P-51D Seat

I did a Google Image search on the term P-51D SEAT and got quite a number of hits.

If you can find the Hobbycraft variant (this kit was originally a HC kit) cheaper than the Academy and you don't want to go the Hobbyboss route, that would probably be the way to go. The decals were much improved over earlier HC kits.

If anyone has access to Ft Campbell, they've got a OH-58D on static display. It still has all the gear in back and it looks like the MMS is complete, too.
I just haven't been able to photos yet, whenever I go to the PX or pharmacy, I forget to take my camera.

I found these on Airliners.net. It looks like some are from the earlier cockpit fit and one is of the later partial "glass" instrument panel.
This is the later version:

Do you have any decal sheets you can steal the Rescue Arrows from? Maybe a decal sheet of a Cold War era aircraft.

As long as the plastic doesn't have any shape errors…

You did a great job on that old kit. I had some VEB-Plasticart kits over the years and they were a bit "challenging."

I got to fly with a friend in one over Southern Spain in the summer of 1976. It belonged to the flying club at NS Rota. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos and I can't remember what kind of finish it had. I did think it odd, at the time, that it had an "N number" on the side.

Don is right, the F4U-1 variants were not used in Korea during the Korean War. Only the later, more advanced variants were used as Don lists above.

Maybe you can find something here that will be worthwhile. I took these at NAS Bermuda in 1991-92 time frame.

The RF-4E (JASDF) kit that I have has different wings from the "regular" RF-4C or E kits.
The RF-4C does pop up on eBay fairly often, but the bidding quickly goes well north of what I can spend.

Wow, I hadn't heard that there were any issues with the original release. Good on you!
Will the new kit use a different box from the original so we'll know which is which?
-
I didn't know there were two different varieties of Skyraider props. You learn something new every day.

Beautiful job, Bobo, despite your issues with the kit. I want to do my Monogram kit in these markings.
-
Beautiful work, Salvador001. She definitely looks like she's been well used.
-
You're off to a great start, Nikolaos. Looking forward to seeing more photos as you progress.

The Hasegawa Royal Navy F-4 has the extended nosegear leg that was unique to that variant.
-
Boy! How did I miss that? Thanks for pointing it out.
-
Those look really useful to me, but they don't show the red underside he's looking for.
I was referring to the photos that were posted earlier

I don't see it on his site, although it may be worth checking the site out from time to time to see when it's been released:

That looks really nice! Thanks for the photos and for giving us a look at you decals, Kursad.
Which is exported more, the Embraer or Shorts version?
If they do a Shorts version I may end up getting all three Tucano/Super Tucanos.

Just got finished reading To the Limit by Tom A. Johnson. It's probably one of the best books I've read about being AIRCAV Huey978-0-451-22218-3 pilot in Vietnam.
If anyone's interested, here's the ISBN: 978-0-451-22218-3. One of the best reads I've had in a long time.

A 1/48 early OH-6A, that's up to today's standards would be appreciated. There's been quite a few requests for an AH-1G in 1/48 as well.
Maybe if Kittyhawk's UH-1 sells well, then they'll see fit to do them…
