    IIRC Bronze Green was superseded by the use of Dull Dark Green in WWII. Both colors are in the same ballpark.

    Thanks guys!

    Ah, this was the info I was looking for! Thanks @Sabrejet and @BWDenver !

    Thanks, I must have overlooked that post. Me go look!

    Thanks, Gabor! And notice the scratches on the ID-band!…

    😄 I pity both the donkey with a dog-sized proboscis and the dog with a donkey-sized proboscis… 🫢 To keep it in zoological terms…. 😇

    I know, I know… I use the FS numbers solely as pointers to “in the ballpark” colors. The “interior green” we use for decades in models of US WW2 aircraft models was in reality a mixture of yellow zinc chromate with black pigment although colors like Bronze Green and Dull Dark Green were also used by Republic and Boeing. That’s why “interior green” is somewhat confusing. Especially seeing that Clear Prop! advises to use a green that’s close to yzc + black, while photos of the bulkheads at the fuselage break of F-86E’s and F’s show a much darker green that’s closer to FS 34

    Sorry for reviving an older thread but it just contains a wealth of information! Looking at the colors of the airbrakes and wells, I would use something like FS34092. However, the instructions state that it should be the “conventional” interior green for for the F-86A, the zinc-chromate that resembles FS34151. It gets me a bit confused. Was the -A finished in conventional “interior green” and the later marks in the much darker green? Or was interior green and the shades cited that resemble FS34151 really a bit of a mistake in the instruction

    Hahaha, I wish you good luck! Hopefully you’ll do an In Progress thread on your adventure…!

    For those who are looking for this sort of J47 detail in the future, using the Search-function: I found a photo of a J47 with a fixed FOD-screen: photo from the site of: https://www.museomotori.unipa.it

    Sorry for my delayed reaction, ADHD and procrastination hit again... Thanks for your insights! The fact that you're from a somewhat more Eastern part of Europe than I am has no bearing on my view on knowledge collected by people. If I held such views I would dismiss almost everything that's written on j-aircraft because the knowledge there was collected by Western people instead of written by Japanese.... Besides, I love the things you've shared about -especially- the MiG-21 over the years. The more information about the real object vs. the accuracy of the model I have, the better it is. Then

    I noticed that my ClearProp F-86A-5 has the engine face with a round dome. (Photo from HS review) (ClearProp instructions) All Sabre J47’s that I have seen have a cone that looks more like a bird’s beak. Which seems logical when looking at the intake tract. (Plastic Models On The Internet - cyberplasticmodeler.blogspot.com) A quick search on the internet showed J47’s with more traditional cones but were they used as such in early F-86’s? Was “the beak” a later development/block of the J47? ( NASM) (Wikimedia)

    Thanks, Cool Hand!

    I always assumed these aircraft were painted standard OD over NG with sand/tan patches painted over it. Like the Germans did with their Ju 87 Stukas for example.

    I can’t find a photo of the real aircraft. It’s B-25C-15-NA, 42-32496, “Poon Tang”, 340th BG, 488th BS. The decals are supplied with the Italeri boxing of the Accurate Miniatures-kit. Two photos of the built model from the site of IPMS Göteborg (so NOT my model or photo):

    How were those two-tone camo B-25C’s and B-25D’s painted? Was it tan over olive drab or were they desert pink with green bands? IMG_1855.webp

    Hi Gene, thanks for the offer! I’ll check if someone in my local IPMS-chapter has a cutter. I’ll PM you!

    Hi, I’m looking for tailcode decals or paint masks for my 1/48 F-4E. The decals I have for a Soesterberg 32nd TFS USAFE bird are way too dark. Of course I can cut my own masks from kabuki tape, using the decals as a guide, but pre-cut masks or decals will probably be somewhat more straight… Are there any manufacturers who sell such a product? photo by Henk Scharringa.

    Hi, I seem to recall that the US Navy got their first F-5E’s / F-5F’s somewhere between 1975 and 1977? Is it known when the radars were removed from the aircraft? My assumption is when they started overpainting the radomes, but that’s just a wild guess, really. I’d really like to know if White 40, #540, Bu.No. 159882 still had the radar in 1977 in the markings as provided bu Furball Aero Design 32-002. Thanks for your help! Erik B.

    Hm, interesting....

    🤣 Little green men?... 🤢 Or just a secret Air Force program with an airsick crew?....
  25. One-Oh-Four
    Thanks guys! If indeed the only role that the -E can't perform is Forward Air Controlling, I can see why they wouldn't want to invest in an all-F/A-18F force.
