    Got another one, yujhh76, brand new member, telling me that Louis09 has posted a few days ago with exactly what I’m after, I just need to email mikescott6678@gmail.com. These A-holes are on the increase.

    Just got the same thing from him for the Xotic P-64 I am looking for. The thing is he just joined 2 hours ago, so how would he know about a post from a few days ago? I almost fell for it until I did a search on louis09 and found this thread

  2. While perusing the internet searching for info on training aircraft I came across this interesting site https://usafhpa.org/schoolhist/histschool.htm in the text they include these 2 pictures of Bell H-13 helicopters

    But there is no mention of which model H-13 they are. Based on the shape of the door opening and the shape of the bubble I would guess an H-13C, D or E model(?) Can any of you experts confirm or correct this? Also what colors would these be in the early 50's; OD, yellow, something else?

     

    Thanks

  3. Does anyone have data on the dimensions of the Bell 47/H-13. I am specifically looking for the cabin dimensions. The total length height and rotor width are easy to find, but not the cabin dimension. I have the Italeri OH-13S kit that I want to build as a TH-13T. I have seen that the TH-13T cabin was 8" wider then the -13S, but not an absolute number and I have no idea how accurate the Italeri kit is.

     

    Thanks

  4. I am planning on building the 1/72 Revell UH-72A/EC145 as the current US Army training helicopter. I have searched the web and this thread https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.arcforums.com%2Fforums%2Fair%2Findex.php%3F%2Ftopic%2F288717-uh-72a-lakota-interior-color-configuration%2F&psig=AOvVaw1_lh7RHVRy05G5Nk7yXrwF&ust=1643578790738000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAwQjhxqFwoTCLiY7qH21_UCFQAAAAAdAAAAABA2 and while there are plenty of pictures of the Medivac version I can't find any interior shots of the training version. Does anyone know how the interior is arranged, i.e. number of seats and their locations and other details. Also I see pictures that show the interior color as a dark blue/gray with dark seats and others with a light gray interior with lighter gray seats. Is one of those used for the trainer?

     

    Thanks

  5. A bit late, but I have their mask for the AV-8B and found them less than useful. The rubbery material does not bend well around curves or over any small protrusions. It just comes unstuck. I only found it useful as a template for cutting masks out of Tamiya tape.

  6. My first post to the Display Case.

     

    This is my 1/72 Lockheed OP-2E variant of the venerable Neptune. I built this using the Blackbird conversion of the Hasegawa kit with some help from and old C Scale white metal conversion. I also used the Pavla and Eduard interiors and the Caracal P2V Neptune Part 2 decal set.

     

    The OP-2E was a Neptune variant that was primarily used to drop "Adsid" sensors (Air Delivered Seismic Detection), along the Ho Chi Minh trail. There were 12 of these built for the Navy's Observation Squadron Sixty-Seven (VO-67), and 3 were lost. More information can be found at http://www.vo-67.org/vo67_opening.html.

    I did a WIP on another forum and you can see it here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235069602-lockheed-172-op-2e/

    so I won't go into details here. Other then to say that on the whole the Blackbird conversion fit and worked well with the only trouble areas being the main canopy and the tail. Also the Pavla and Eduard interiors are for a P2V-7 and the OP-2E is a P2V-5 so they are not really correct for the OP-2E. On the whole I am happy with the way it came out except for my usual nemesis of dust infiltration into the interior.
