    Spitfire ??

    Please, just need to know the color of the throttle handle of a Mk.Vb Spit! I can't find a single color picture. Thanks, Henry
  2. I've been collecting some 1/72 Hasegawa F-16 kits for a little bit now that as time and money have permitted I have bought a matching Eduard detail set for. These are the pre-painted sets that look great to me!! Well anyway, I just got around to starting one of the kits when I discovered the nasty little bit of plastic surgery that has to happen in order to fit the main insturment pannel!! I mean really, cut the hood off ( carefully of course because it has to be reused ) then cut the hood in two, add a filler and re-use??? COME ON!!!!!!!!!!! It wouldn't be so bad if they provid

    FW-190 Question Please

    Thinks Guys! I was thinking maybe the A3 would have had a RLM02 cockpit.. RLM66 seems so dark compaired to most models I've seen.
  4. Can someone please tell me the correct colors for the cockpits and gear bays of; Fw-190 A3 Fw-190 A5,A7,A8 Fw-190 F8 FW-190 D9 Thanks, Henry
  5. I have used a number of different glues for attaching PE to plastic but something I have always had troube with is useing any cyno on a cockpit sidewall. It seems that even when I get the dry fit perfect there always seems to be glue that gets out when doing this attachment. So, I use white glue or hypo glue. I have even used transfer tape ( works well in some cases) Does anybody else have any other ways I might try. ?? Thanks
  6. I'm trying my first Alclad(sp?) finish. So , I'm hopeing to practice on a model I started . Here's how far I've gotten. I have alread sprayed Model Master NON buffing alum on this model... My understanding is........... that it would be ok to spray the Alclad Clear Base over this. ???? I want to do this because to me, the Model Master finish is to grainey . I then have planned to spray with Alclad " Aircraft Alum " to get that smoother/ shiney finish.. Some of the panels on the model HAD already been left a chrom green color.. ( the clear will go over that too.) So, I'm expecting contra
  7. Could someone please tell me what Model Master enamel paints are the best match for RLM02 and RLM66? Thank You!!

    1/72 Hasegawa G4M???

    Thanks Guys!! Peter! Your G4M2 looks great! Maybe, a little silver powder rubbed into the bottom would give that look? Nothing like natural dust to give that even tone to a paint job! LOL <_<

    1/72 Hasegawa G4M???

    I'm a little confused today....Can anybody please tell me if this is an old kit or a new release? Squadron's decription makes me think it is a old kit but I've been thinking it was one of their new 1/72 twin engin wonders like the B-25 or B-26 kit...??????????
  10. Crap I stand corrected Want to sell one or two??? I've just never seen them listed in anybodys 1/72 scale kit selection!!! Thanks, Habu you've given me hope!!!! For what I said about hasegawa I appologise about the shame part! But I still admire the 1/72 twin engin collection!! Fantastic kits!!

    1/72 P-38F,G,H???

    Hey Guys, The Hasegawa 1/72 P-38 kit is already ripe for the process..... They give you the parts you need. You just have to endure the fit up! You might even be able to use these parts with the Academy kit?
  13. Maybe some of you know about these kits? I've never seen one ( 1/72 scale) and would like to know how they compair in detail with other manufactures? If the fuse is one piece, then how are the cockpits done? Thanks, Henry

    WHY???

    2 different 1/72 Hasegawa new tool F-14B kits. HE09687...$ 60.26 each HE00814....$37.76 each Why such a big dif in price? I can't believe decals would make the disparity.

    Best 1/72 A1-h??

    Thanks Guys! I only want one of these and Hasegawa sounds like the way to go.
  16. Thanks Guys Wow I didn't even know that Academy was going to put out a Hornet! ( Is it for sure it's a A/b model?) That could be great if it is as nice as their F8 kit! Cool!!
  17. Ok guys, which do you think is better? The Hasegawa or the Fujimi kit? I have 2 of the Hasegawa kits and as far as dry fit goes they kinda.... well... suck The shape looks ok but the nose seems a little blunt to me. I have a few Fujimi kits ( an A4 and a British Phantom) that seem great to me. Thanks, Henry

    Best 1/72 A1-h??

  19. Simply Beautiful!! You guys might like some of these also. www.fineartmodels.com There used to be a spit there but I can't find it now.
  20. Hi Jet guys!! I build mostly WWII stuff ( 1/72) scale and have really only built just a few jets ( a couple of Mirage F-1's for a friend and an A-10 for my Boss) However, I have been collecting Jet kits ever since I got back into modeling so I have about 70 or so kits. I have 4 Hasegawa F-14 Tomcats ( A, A+, B, D) And 4 Hasegawa/ 1 Revell F-15's ( A, C, 2 J's and the Revell/Hasegawa E which I know is not really accurate for the E model) Both of these kits look like they don't just fall togeather!! My question is which is the harder build? I also have 7 Revell F-16 kits and 5 Hasega
  21. It's been a long day.... lol.... me no spell so goods.... Rhanks, Joe :D
  22. Can I spray alclad over enamel primer? Thanks, Henry
  23. Kitnut you're right I was thinking of the f-82. One of the books I have has them on the same page.. Thanks, Henry
  24. Actually I believe the Mustang went back to ( a refined) Allison engine ( See P-51H) As for longer wings... Nope it didn't happen Henry
  25. B) Hello everbody, I'd like some input before I spend money!!! Is the Hasegawa 1/72 Mig 29 Kit a good model of the real thing? Is there a better one? Airfix? Also, I think todays F-16 on the home page looks great! This is the 1/72 Academy kit? Is it a good model of the YF-16? I would like to put a good YF-16 into the F-16 collection! Thanks Much!!
