Hajo L.

Looking great so far! HAJO

What be nice to see your progress in a WIP! I did some Seakings myself and love the helicopter! HAJO

I noticed that his wife updated her youtube-channel some days ago - maybe it´s worth reaching out to her and ask her? HAJO

Very Arcade-like, but also very unique! I love it! HAJO

Great work! HAJO

Where is the cover of the magazine??? Does it exist? 😉 HAJO

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

Wasn´t there also a longer exhaust on the Super Fox? HAJO

I like it, looks like a well weathered war-horse! Which water-technique did you use here? HAJO

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

Ron, that´s what I was remembering... I did that on my 1/72 Spooky: HAJO

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

I second that! HAJO

andyf117, exactly what I was thinking! HAJO

Is that an Airfix H-53??? 😉 HAJO

Maybe I just missed it, but will you paint the fish? So far they are only grey... 😉 HAJO

Unfortunately not, maybe use Google to translate it...? HAJO

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

Yeah, maybe something for a third F-111 (not counting my FB-111 I once did...) HAJO

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

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

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

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

Do you have a picture of the GBU-15 load? I´m interested and still have an AMT F-111F waiting.... HAJO

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
