  1. First time commenting on this wonderful project.... Sorry, I hope this doesn´t come wrong, but are you really planning to use *those* clear parts?? All other parts of the kit look so nice and delicate, and then this huge chunk of clear plastic? 😉 HAJO
  2. Wasn´t there also a longer exhaust on the Super Fox? HAJO
  3. I like it, looks like a well weathered war-horse! Which water-technique did you use here? HAJO
  4. I browsed through my picture-collection for the AC-47 (stuff I downloaded in the internet) but didn´t spot any opening that would be needed for an automatic flare-dispenser - or do I make a mental mistake here? HAJO
  5. Ron, that´s what I was remembering... I did that on my 1/72 Spooky: HAJO
  6. I have no clue, but I wonder if they did have a launcher at all? My impression was that those flares were "hand launched".... Do you have any pictures? HAJO
  7. andyf117, exactly what I was thinking! HAJO
  8. Is that an Airfix H-53??? 😉 HAJO
  9. Maybe I just missed it, but will you paint the fish? So far they are only grey... 😉 HAJO
  10. Unfortunately not, maybe use Google to translate it...? HAJO
  11. Just a couple of days ago I saw on my german modelling forum someone complaining as well. He got the issue solved somehow, but it took some work. https://www.modellboard.net/index.php?topic=66507.0 HAJO
  12. Yeah, maybe something for a third F-111 (not counting my FB-111 I once did...) HAJO
  13. Well, I couldn´t even make it out in the "aft belly" position in the video - did you spot it? I´m still deciding what I load on my F-111F when I build it - I was planning to give it a lot of Durandals, but would love a GBU-15-load as well. And I don´t necessary want a third F-111F in my stash - they take up a lot of space... Well, decisions, decisions... HAJO
  14. Where is that pod hanging? I didn´t spot it (doesn´t mean anything, I´m short sighted 😉 ) under the belly of that F-111. HAJO
  15. I do have FB, but don´t see it as a "serious" platform for modelling purposes apart from product placement. You can´t search things, topics "disappear" in the timeline, you have strange people interacting... As far as "traditional sites" are concerned: Modellversium (which is not a forum, just a simple platform for reviews, gallery, etc.) had a "cry for help" last week because they were running low on entries. They usually post roughly 3-4 articles every weekday plus saturday, but were suddenly "dry". After their cry they got a ton of new entries from the community, so maybe it was
  16. Cool loadout! Never seen the inner pylons used for AIM-9s. I´m not sure if the aircraft was carrying the AN/AAW-13 Data Link-pod which is usually necessary to guide the GBU-15s, IIRC. HAJO
  17. Do you have a picture of the GBU-15 load? I´m interested and still have an AMT F-111F waiting.... HAJO
  18. I won´t be of any help, but I wonder why it has been at Kiel (where it was photographed in 1986). To give some context, Kiel is located in the north of Germany, at the baltic coast, in the the state of Schleswig-Holstein. Schleswig-Holstein was dubbed "Germanys Unsinkable Aircraft Carrier", since it hosted several Luftwaffe and Naval Aviation Bases during the Cold War. Kiel was home of the Naval Aviation Wing 5 (Marinefliegergeschwader 5), operating the Seaking MK.41 in mainly a SAR-role during the 1980ies, but they used it also for naval support and transport duties. Maybe they had an Op
  19. ... and please don´t forget us 1/72-guys...! 🙂 HAJO
  20. That rigging is looking awesome! Also like the camoflage on the island! Too bad todays ships don´t have these more often... HAJO
  21. Really? Ok, good, than I can start a MC-130E with the parts of the Italeri kit! 🙂 HAJO
  22. That´s a cool colour tone! I´d add some drops of sand to NATO olive if the original tone does not properly fit. HAJO
  23. I used Revell Nato-Oliv 46 (Acryl) for my Cobras. https://www.modellversium.de/galerie/1-hubschrauber/13942-“pink-team”-–-oh-6a-cayuse-und-ah-1g-cobra.html Don´t know if you like that better as colour? HAJO
  24. I got this information from a competitor in the figure-modelling range, so it may be taken with a grain of salt...: Apparently Preiser has been taken over by the two sons of the founder, and since they are both pacifists, they don´t continue the military stuff of the company. Well, if THAT doesn´t end war and conflict on the world, nothing will.... 🤪 🙄 HAJO
