They are not painted. That is the natural color of the metal used. It's been a long time and I don't remember exactly what metal it is.

I don't think you're referring to the same part of the missile we're discussing here. We're not talking about the lens/window, but rather the guidance section itself, which is not the same material.

F-16 & F-15 3D printed Air Data Probe & Air Scoop 1/32 & 1/48
Dave Roof replied to PascalK's topic in Jet Modeling
My failure rate on the 72nd parts is about 50%. I have them set up 8 probes per runner and print a total of 24 sets at a time. Either a whole runner of probes doesn't print, or half of the probes on a runner don't print. In 48th scale my failure rate is about 5% and 32nd scale it's about 2%. After several attempts, I gave up on the 72nd scale. -
The seeker head has a green-ish hue to it that varies depending on the light or angle it's viewed from. While not perfect and still a little bit too metallic, Scale Finishes had an out of the bottle paint called AIM-9 Seeker Head Green in development. They tried to match the color based on several photos I sent them (including the one below). When airbrushed, it's a tad light. However, when Tamiya smoke is airbrushed over it, it brings it a little closer. However, I can't seem to find it on the site, so not sure if it actually went into production. I do have a sample bottle though

Gustav Jung, the designer.

Well, now that it's been mentioned I can speak! I've been working with Gustav Jung (the kit's designer) on this for a while now, with what little information I can provide. Grateful to a few Marines that assisted behind the scenes with a few photos and information as well. Yes, I've already scaled up my 1/48 Yankee sheet for it!

First hobby shop you remember visiting?
Dave Roof replied to Hooker169's topic in General Discussion
Coast to Coast Locomotive Works in downtown Upland, CA back in the late 80's. Also my first job while in high school and when I was into HO railroading. -
AERO-3 and LAU-7 Launchers for the Phantom, LAU-7 and LAU-138 BOL for the Harrier. The LAU-138 and Station 1A/7A pylon will be released next week. We also have a fully detailed Weapons Pylon set for the AV-8B Harrier and another set for RAF Harriers.

Would you still build the ZM F-4 if you have the Tamiya F-4B?
Dave Roof replied to Curt B's topic in Jet Modeling
Well, you can't build a Tamiya F-4S or a ZM F-4B, so I don't quite understand why there is a dilemma regarding those two variants. There are USAF specific parts in the Bravo, so you may eventually be able to build a Tamiya F-4C, but no way to know how soon. -
Looking for some aftermarket decals and other goodies Academy AH-1Z
Dave Roof replied to utley's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Just an FYI, but HMLA-269 had a Zulu painted in a modified tri-color scheme. They sent walk around photos and decals for it will be on my second Zulu sheet that will be released sometime this year.
