So speaking of the KC-135R & E models, can we have markings for a “Shamu” Camo scheme? I know I can go out and buy the Roden kit but I already have the Academy KC-135E&R kits. I want them to join my Revell KC-10A with Shamu Camo scheme. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Thanks for the info! Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Yes! That is the one. Thank you Sir for the help. Now I will print it and save it too. Thanks again, Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Can somebody please point me to an article that was written somewhere about swapping Tamiya 1/48 F-16 kit parts to build different Block Number jets not already in Tamiya kit boxes? I thought I had saved it but apparently I did not. Thanks in advance! Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

I got my set today and was wondering where to find the instructions? The QRC code takes you to the item on the Caracal Page but I must be missing the link to the instructions. Neither set nor in the box was there any instructions. Anybody else get instructions with their set? This set really knocks it out of the ball park. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Kursad, I see that you are testing our kit knowledge as well as Hobby Boss does not have a 1/48 F-111F kit. I wish they did but I too have an Academy F model kit. I don't remember right off hand, but I think there is no exterior difference between the E & F models. But I look forward to this detail set. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

I had ordered a Tamiya 1/48 P-47M kit. It arrived but when I opened the kit box (not factory sealed) it had the bag with the drop tanks sprue opened and a set of drop taks where missing. I sent them an email and after about a month I received an email from them asking me to review my purchase and my experience. I wrote a scorching review stating piss poor communication, piss poor quality control, piss poor product description, and overall piss poor customer service. Oh, I still have not heard from them about the missing drop tanks set. I will never buy from them again.

Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Hey Steve, Yes I remember you. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, a lot has happened over the last year. Thanks for this info. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Anybody pick up the recent released Hasegawa 1/72 B-47E with the 3D printed RATO Bottles kit? Sprue Brothers has them in stock. Will this spark a reprint of the Caracal B-47 sheet? Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Well you can wait or you could if nothing is released, scratch build the nose. One thing about Helicopters in the modeling world, they do get overlooked alot unless they get alot of attention in the news or on the big screen.

Hi Larry, Out of the box, no. The closest I would think kit wise is to possibly graft the nose of the Dragon 1/35 MD 530G (MMS) Gunship (kit 3526) to the fuselage of the AH- the Kitty Hawk or Zimi Models 1/35 AH-6M/MH-6M kit. Or just work with the Dragon MD 530G kit and find you a new 6 bladed main rotor & 4 bladed tail rotor and scratch build all the add ons to the nose and else where on the air frame. Or we could wish that Kitty Hawk or Zimi Models produces one. From what I can tell the AH-6I is an ungraded MD 530F airframe with 6 bladed rotors & 4 bladed tail rotor. I

I am so sorry that you have go thru this again. Our house flooded back in 2016 Flood in Louisiana but not as bad as what you experienced. We only had 14" of clear fresh water in the house but that was enough to have to gut the whole house. I can not imagine having to deal with your loss but we will keep you and your family in our prayers for a speedy & quick recovery. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Not a complaint but a hint, it would be nice if you listed what aircraft is the subject of the sheet. Unless I happen to want a certain sheet then this would be very happy. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA

Maybe I missed something here but how does one access the magazine copies listed? I am not having much luck or maybe I am doing it all wrong. Thanks, Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA
