  1. I’m slipping. I don’t remember the wedge in the Kittyhawk kit. Anyway, it shouldn’t be there. Simple fix tho. Maybe that’s WHY I didn’t recall it? Bo
  2. In 48th scale!! Don't know why these wouldn't fit on any UH-1D/H 48th scale kit!! Bo
  3. Please excuse my being late for this show. Seats: I haven't kept up with ur build; but, the pilot and copilot seats were NOT mirror images as kit has them. Kit is correct for Left seat. Inside armor for Right seat WAS different!! It was slightly wider and the bottom was stand-off to provide better protection for arm on collective. Guess/hope you already know this?? Kittyhawk is. not perfect for sure; but, by FAR, the best kit of a Huey in ANY scale!! (When I was an Aircraft Commander, AC, I flew in the left seat for Day/VFR conditions. At night, I flew the Right seat for instru
  4. I just made re-enforcements on inside, cut and grind off plastic blisters, I did this B4 I assembled the fuselage halves where possible. I assembled. painted/decaled fuselage and wings B4 joining all together. Lot easier to handle that way. Bo
  5. Yellow nose gear of Enola Gay. Photo was on old PC. Hope it works. Bo
  6. In my display case about where the B-17 and B-58 are now. Bo
  7. There is a color photo of the crew standing beside Enola Gay some days after the event and gear and wheel are roughly painted yellow (Some say ZC Yellow) and paint is clearly oversprayed to nose tire. I really wonder if ALL three gear were painted that way?? We only have photo evidence that the nose was. EDIT: just photo on nose w/o crew. See below. Bo
  8. There is a link to the one on display in Washington DC that I used to build mine. Pay close attention to the placement of fuselage decals as the '82' is not exactly on opposite sides. The aft fuselage door was in the way?? Oh, note YELLOW nose gear and wheels. Beats me Why Enola Gay was that way?? (Guiding over bomb pit???) HTH. Bo
  9. How about that!! Several of us have recently come back. From one Newbie to another, Welcome back!! Bo

  11. I even downloaded the App and DID get new Username / PW and STILL can't get logged in! Hope ARC stays put with this Forum!! IT WORKS!! Bo
  12. Probably already void that avenue, as I tried to Register FIRST!! And to be honest, I don't recall my old PW??? Oh well, more modelling time!! Bo
  13. There may be more lurkers join in here!! M2 has gone to 'TapaTalk' and now I can't Register!! Anyways, the More Texans, the Merrier!! (If we don't MELT first!) Bo
  14. Since you asked, No!! There are toooo many GOOD kits that, either don't have or under represented, with decals. My 2 cents. Bo
  15. Whoa!! So very glad ur daughter came thru,...... okay!! We're NOT in charge!! While ur huggin' ur daughter, I'll thanks the one WHO is in Charge!! Bo
  16. No, sure didn't!! TOO MANY FORUMS!!!: EDIT: Now I see what I did. I wondered when I posted it WHY it disappeared??? Now I know why!! I STILL say, TOO MANY FORUMS!! Bo
  17. It IS a very nice kit!! Kept hoping the Eduard would issue flight control to include leading edge slats; but, no joy!! Just opened slats myself. M'schitts slats should be opened on the ground. Also, planned and tried to fold paper and masking tape to make that sun shade. I couldn't get either to work so I carved and attached a piece of plastic sprue. Build urs and be sure to post it here so we all can enjoy it!! Bo
  18. That's one MEAN looking machine!! Excellent!! Bo
  19. Thanks. I did. He had no Pyro nor Revell auto kits. I'll just run them up the Flag Pole in Saturday's Show and see who salutes it!! LOL!! The cars are pretty nice kits and that '61 XKE would look good beside a contemporary fighter. Bo
  20. Hidden away in my stash, I found several (5 or 6) Revell Little Jewel series car/auto kits. 1961 XKE Jaguar, 30 vintage Packard, Cadillac, Duesenberg, Mercedes 540K. All kits are compete and some even inside original wrap. Also found some (again 5 or 6) old Pyro early aviation 48th scale kits. Need assistance from you that know how valuable these kits are. I haven't the slightest!! TIA Bo
  21. Third time to try and post is charm??? Geesh!! Lone Star Models kit. Step 1. Build cradle Step 2. Fill on spaces with model. Hope this works!! Bo
