Thank you, Gwen. I went with the ResKit wheels.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for early F-15A wheels, as well as the ESCAPAC IC-7 seat, if anyone has spares. These are to go into a Hasegawa F-15C, built as an A model, in the early "air superiority blue."

Curious- I use the Mr. Color line as well, buts my understanding that they're solvent-based lacquers. I mean, the paint smells pretty much like my wife's nail polishes; I use Mr. Leveling Thinner for airbrushing, and cleanup with lacquer thinner. Am I mistaken? (I was also told that the Tamiya X / XF line is "acrylics lacquers.")

I'm almost finished with it.

I used Iliad decals, 48019 "Special OPs Skyraiders."

Ah, good info.

Hello everyone. I'm wrapping up a Tamiya 1/48 Spad, doing the markings of "Lieutenet America." Doing some searches online for reference photos, I saw a photo or two that suggests "America" had the US national insignia on the upper right wing, as opposed to the left wing where it's typically placed. Does anyone have knowledge or info about this particular bird? Thanks for looking.

My unorganized, chaotic - but well lit - area that I call "muh desk."

Hello all: I'm looking for the small "clamshell" looking front main LG doors, they "disappeared" from my workbench (see below). 1/48 Tamiya A-1J is my current WIP, but doors from any Tamiya variant would be fine. Please PM me if you may have something available. (Something weird's going on at my workbench, in my basement. I think mice are running off with parts I've stuck to wood craft sticks using "sticky-tack," I happened to find the two large wing pylons under my desk with the sticks. (Do mice eat sticky-tack, or super-tac, or whatever?) Thanks!

Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 "Weekend Edition," box opened but inner bags sealed. Looking for Eduard's 1/48 F6F-5 or -5N, preferably the Weekend kit. My ZIP is 45242, DM me here, or email to macookefoto@gmail.com. Thanks.

Thank you! Thank you!

On the 1/48 Hasegawa F-4J kit ("Showtime 100", P1 / 07101), there are two different sets of main landing gear wheels. The kit instructions have you assembling two halves, and these wheels look to be of the wider/fatter variety. Is this correct for a J model? (I am doing VMFA-235 circa early to mid-1970's.) Thank you all.

Thank you.

A related question: can Mr. Color lacquers be sprayed on top of Tamiya "acrylics" (acrylic lacquers)?

Thank you sir.
