Works for me too. Jon

No problem and thanks for the answer. Looks like such a great scheme I'll get the sheet anyway 🙂 Cheers Jon

This poster has not been on ARC since 2017, so I don't think I'm going to get any joy, but did any of the photos he had get posted or published anywhere? I would like to buy this Caracal sheet and make 'Cilda' but I need to know if this aircraft had the large drag chute housing or the smaller ventral keel? I think it probably had the larger housing, but 45th TRS polka-dot aircraft had both kinds and I'd like to be sure. I don't fancy converting the Tanmodel kit to remove the large chute housing as that's already proving enough of a ballache on the Kinetic F-84F I'm backdating...

1:48 Republic F-84F Thunderstreak by HobbyBoss - a first look
jonbryon replied to HomeBe's topic in Jet Modeling
Time for a thread resurrection, although I don't know if any of the players are still around on ARC. I've just started Kinetic's 1/48 F-84F and was using this thread for a reference. I'm making 52-6500 'Misanthropic Mary', which according to Cybermodeler is an F-84F-35-RE and has the short tail. I can't tell in relation to the parachute housing, but will assume it's the larger one, nor if it has a tail skid; again, I will assume there isn't one along with most other period photos. This means I want to shorten the tail. The plans on page 2 of this thread don't scale out -

AMP 1/48 Kit 48019 HH-43B Huskie
jonbryon replied to Steven H. McLain's topic in Helicopter Modeling
I've built the HUK-1 and have the HH-43B. The sprues are all different. The rotor blades look very similar if not identical. It should be described as a new tool in my view; I can't see any commonality. Jon -

Pleasure. I spent a lot of time on Google when I was making mine... Jon

OB-924 (44-93224) is usually drawn without red areas. Below are photos I believe from 1950. OB-999 is also usually illustrated in the same manner: 44-33939 did have the red areas. The same photos are variously captioned from 1947, 1948, 1949 and 1952 depending on the publication. According to http://usafunithistory.com/index.html, the 4th RS was based in Guam until September 1949 when it relocated to Hamilton, California, which possibly casts doubt on the June 1948 date for these pictures.

If you mean this airframe, it's the only one I can find marked up as such. All the other photos I could find for other airframes did not have the red, but I'm limited to what can be found on the internet. This is the Revell 1/48 kit in the scheme provided in the box, although it's so inaccurate all the markings are masked and airbrushed. Jon

Thanks guys. This is encouraging! Jon
