  1. You realize, of course, that probably about 0.00000000000144298% of modelers worldwide have ever heard of ARC, much less read this entire 208 (and counting) page thread, right?
  2. 2011? Wow, I didn’t know plastic kits had been invented way back then.
  3. Spitfires were specified to have “smooth” camouflage colors, which were (at least when new) most assuredly not flat. Very few aircraft have a dead flat finish.
  4. If you can't see the pitot tube sticking out below the windscreen, it's an early version (with the "L" pitot under the nose).
  5. That nose was unique to that one airplane, so I'd just break out the epoxy putty and do it the old fashioned way. Not difficult at all.
  6. Where do they "get off"? It's called being in business. Can you just go to your local Ford dealer and ask for a new door handle and expect to get it? Really?
  7. Don't forget to look at car colors. There is a veritable rainbow available, and while not FS595 matched, you can usually find something really close to help you mix you own.
  8. Actually the Sabre Mk.4 *was* an F-86E. Canadair built a number for the USAF on the same assembly line that they were building Mk.4s for the RAF. Also, an updated E is essentially externally identical to an F.
  9. Apparently they're also telling people in Chattanooga that they're working on a new 1/48 P-36 family, and eventually an early P-40 family. Yaaahooooo!!!
  10. Did nobody else hear this stuff from Eduard’s seminar at the convention in Chattanooga??
  11. Don't be so specific in your search. Just use "Bf 109" and you'll get more hits. You'll get E's and such, but you'll get more Gs as well.
  12. Given the price of developing and tooling a kit these days, it amazes me that companies are satisfied with doing half-a**ed work like that. It would cost little or nothing more to have done it right.
  13. If you've ever been in the military, or around real airplanes, you'd know that if the Chief said to touch up November Hotel one-eleven, you touched up November Hotel one-eleven, and you didn't worry too awfully much about exactly what color the touchups were. If the Navy doesn't stress about exactly what color the touchups are (and they demonstrably didn't then, and still don't today), then why should we?
  14. The better question here is, what the hell is that thing hanging under the left wing?
