    Hello. The best, and only one  for an argentine A-4P for the Malvinas War period is Hasegawa´s one. But, you´ll need some aftermarket antennas for it, as the one in the kit are wrong for an argentine plane. As decals concern, you may search for the Aztec ones, Condor Decals and FCM.

    Happy modelling

    Hello to all: I´veread somewhere that some of the old Tamiya 1%58 kits were in reality 1/50 kits. If that is the case, may someone, please, tell me wich ones were underscaled?.

    Thank you very much in advance.

    My best regards,

    Hello: I usethe ones from AMMO MiG Gimenez. But, in order to obtain a gloss finish, you must apply 2 or 3 thin layers. Another brand I use is K-4, a chilean one, and the best for me, Sicko, wich is a local brand here (Argentina).

    Happy Modeling!:cheers:

    Dear fellow modellers: I´ve been wondering wich kit would be the best BAE Hawk in 1-48 scale, specifically for an armed version, not the pure trainer. I know there are kits from Airfix, Italeri (reboxed by Tamiya) and Hobbby Boss....so wich one deserves my money?.

    Best regards and thanks in advance,

    Dear fellow modelers: My question is, would it be possible to build a YaK-9M or YaK-9T with this kit?. I know the T has a different cannon, so one modification would be that, but my concern is about the canopy position. Was the DD canopy in the same place than the T , M or D?.


    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, I´ve checked better and it has a 4 machne guns turret, I made a mistake, because I was confused by the fact that later in their production run, they incorporeted a 4 gun turret with a shape similar to that of the B-50. My mistake.

    thank you all for your kind feedback

    Dear Felow modellers: I´d like to know if the Tamiya´s Tomcat has movable wings. I mean, can you swing the wings once they´re build up, like the Monogram kit?, or must you choose one configuration before assembly, like the Hasegawa´s one?.

    Regards,

    Well, at first the plane only has 2 machine guns in its frontal upper turret, later on, it had 4 machine guns in a modified turret, also seen on the B-50. tha Monogram kit has the original 2 gun turret.

    Hello dear collegues: I´m just wondering if someone produce the 4 machine gun turret for the monogram 1/48 B-29 . I know that some had it instead of the more common 2 machine guns. I also know Eduard has an interior photo etched set...is there something more I should consider?.

    Thanks in advance

    Fuselage stiffeners were also removed. I added them back with sheet styrene as well as added the vertical tail stiffeners too. Also rescribed the exhaust shrouds. F-14A_WIP_020311.jpg

     

    Hi Plastic Weapns: I can see the stiffeners that were removed and that you made again but cannot see the detail of the shouds, may you mark them in a red circle, please?...I cannot tell the difference..maybe I need more powerful glasses.

    Best regards,

    The newer boxings contain the NACA vent as well as a piece that has no vents at all. For some reason, R/M left off the vents. Steel Beach makes a resin replacement that has the grill vents on it. With that said, you can't really make an accurate A from that kit anyway because R/M also changed the engine shroud to the GE style carbon fiber. Steel Beach makes an update set to change the newer A kit into a B if you want to go that route. Or, you can simply ignore the shrouds and build it as an A. Not many people will ever notice.

    Thank you very much Robert. So, for example, the boxing from Revell Germany, that is, the Black Tomcat boxing, isn´t an A variant anyway, cause of the engine shroud I guess...

    Welcome back to the hobby JerseeJerry 55. The old Monogram kit is avery nice and easy one. Just, as Kurt said, take your time in the wings to fuselage joint and the underside of the cowling. It´s a fun to build.

    As far as paints, you have now 2 (3 here) acrylics brands now, AMMO and AK- Interactive. Both are water soluble, oudorless and a pleasure to work with. I´ve sold out all my old Humbrol enamels ones and changed to these kind of paints.

    Best regards,

    1) No, it is not like AK or AMMO. It is an alcohol based acrylic.

     

    2) Yes, You can use either Tamiya X-20A or Mr Color Acrylic Thinner or any other Isopropyl Alcohol. You can even use Tamiya and Mr Color Lacquer thinner on these paints for both thinning and clean up.

     

    Hope this helps. :thumbsup:

    Thank you very much Sir.!!

    Gunze Aqueous is an alcohol based acrylic. It won't clean up with water. Needs alcohol based thinner like it's own brand name thinner, Tamiya X-20A or Isotropyl alcohol. 

    So, it isn´t exactly the same as AK-Interactive and AMMO wich are water based acrylics, is it?. I must buy the specific thinner then?
