  1. I know this question comes up from time to time so I apologize, is there any ideas when a new sheet might/will come out? I'm one of the lucky ones that have your first sheet, but just wondering if another one will come out and will it have any RF-4ETMs with it? Thanks
  2. I can find out for you Monday if your interested. PM a message with an address.
  3. Thank you for posting these links. I am working on one of these now, and all the issues that Paul describes are what I'm seeing, so his fixes are very helpful.
  4. Only one drogue on centerline, and it's off to the starboard a little. If it has the two wingtip pods, the it can do 3 drogues, but this was rare to see during my experience with these, and I hated loading cargo on them before 60K Tunners came along. https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Air-Force/McDonnell-Douglas-KC-10A-Extender-DC-10-30CF/1935209/L
  5. Does anyone have one of these in their stash? https://modelingmadness.com/scott/mod/rf4epreview.htm I am looking for one for a long range project to do a JASDF RF-4, so I need these markings. I can buy straight up or work a trade. Thanks, Duane
  6. Ordered yesterday, received today...one of the advantages of living just down the road in Utah. They look wonderful, I need to start working on my Su-34 i guess. Thank you Chris!
  7. I thank everyone that has made suggestions to this project. I'm sure the Monogram kit builds into a great kit, they have always been some of the best when it comes to accuracy, but the downside is they usually need rescribing, which I dont have the time to do or the temperament for. I picked the Italeri/Hasegawa kit knowing it has some accuracy issues, but at the same time it is also a good kit and comes with decals that fit what I'm planning to do. I picked up some of the Barracuda resin sets to help in the short coming side of the kit and I'll start working on it soon. I'm sure
  8. So, with it being Christmas and Sprue Brothers having their sale and they got their resupply of them...I just had to pick me up an Eduard Tempest. Not sure when I'll build it, but the reviews I've seen demanded me to get one. Now I have to learn about the Tempest too.
  9. Thanks guys...after much flipping of a 3 sided coin I went with and ordered the Italeri kit. It gives me the best decal options I think. Thank you for all the insight.
  10. Thank you very much for the info all. I've decided to go with building a Typhoon, so now it's time to find one. So speaking of markings, what's out there for decals? I'm not particular of what squadron, just needs to be a D-Day participant.
  11. Thank you very much Ken. This helps me out a lot. Another question if you dont mind, was the Hawker Tempest involved much with Operation Overlord? I Googled the Tempest and one place I read it says they were in Reserve until a couple of days later when they were unleashed. Do you know anything about it? If so, do you know much about the Eduard kit? Thank you, Duane
  12. So my local club is doing a mini contest in June and the group build is anything D-Day, the 75th anniversary, so I want to build a 1/48 Hawker Typhoon. Since this is way out of my comfort zone, what's the best Typhoon out there? Thanks for any help. Duane
  13. The 4th and 34th FS both have tail flash or whatever they're calling it for a while now. I saw them first probably around the early spring. I dont know if the 466th FS has something on their one marked jet.
  14. I am on the hunt for this version, anyone have one in their stash? Duane
  15. https://m.facebook.com/groups/23655207146?view=permalink&id=10156938098907147&comment_id=10156938857277147&notif_t=group_comment&notif_id=1542788582334266&ref=m_notif
  16. Thanks guys. Yeah, I am pulling together stuff for a planned build eventually of GR.4A ZA737 from 2 Squadron. It was here visiting Hill AFB years ago and I was able to get the opportunity to take pictures of it. I'm getting a crash course on Tornados. In my research today I was saddened to find out that it had been retired, but it had a great career.
  17. Disregard, found my answer to the first question. The others are more just rants
  18. Just a quick curiosity question, are the RAF Gr.4s redone Gr.1s or were they new off the line jets? And why aren't there any good decals of line jets?!?! If you want to do any anniversary jet, your covered, but just normal squadron markings.
  19. Praying for all the people that are there. I did an order with Fisher Models earlier this year to get his EC-121 resin, which one year I plan to build. Hope everyone makes it out and praying for the firefighters battling this to save what's left.
  20. So I am in need of a new upper fuselage, sprue "A". I was working on my F/A-18D ATARS conversion and farked-up mine. Anybody out there happen to have an extra? Thanks for any help. Duane
