regardless of what is in his book it was impossible for him to have flown the F-4E at Korat.Simple reason is He PCS'd back to the states in Sept.67 and the first F-4E arrived at Korat on 7 Nov. 1968 and they flew their first mission on 20 Nov.1968. I'm not saying he didn't fly an F 4E in his career. He just wouldn't have done it in Vietnam. He was the commander of cadets at the AF Academy at the time. He never went back .It could be a misprint or so but the dates definingly make it impossible for him to have done it. And yes I read his book too. Bernie McKenna

Col.Olds never flew the E model in Vietnam, He left in Sept.67 firsts E's arrived in Nov.68 at Korat. Bernie McKenna

Just a refection of the camera head.When I was at Spang they had a hard red plastic cover when parked which was removed before engine start. Bernie

oh no here we go again. Are there any shots from GWM of the plastic or just the drawings on the page from DN models Bernie McKenna.

but they didn't take too long releasing the F-14D after they did the A. So maybe we'll get lucky Bernie

got my fuselage halves today. They are perfect no warp took about a week in total to get them. Fine customer service. Bernie

Hope mine turn out to be okay. Bernie

They just emailed me and said the new parts are in the mail. Can't complain about the customer service. Bernie McKenna

Actually this is the first Airfix kit I bought in probably 40 years and that was a tank kit. I've been in communication with the spare part people now so hopefully I can get ne parts. Thanks Bernie McKenna

I saw a photo on a dutch Facebook page and that one had a real bad warp on the whole fuselage side. Mine l can use tape while the glue is setting should work fine,. Its big. Bernie

Just got mine today very impressive but the fuselage has a warp at the base of the vertical stab. It can be fixed,I hope. Other than that a beautiful kit. Bernie

thanks guys. I had their stuff before and it was really nice same with the Barracuda stuff. I'll start checking again incase he starts production again Thanks Bernie

There was a guy from Russia who offered the front cowling to fix problems on the newish Revell G-6 and G-10. Whould anyone know who he is. Thanks in advance. Bernie McKenna

Steffen, yes 2 of the Jo's. I figured I'd sand everything down,was hoping to find an easy way. Bernie
