  1. It must, as they did send out quite a few correction kits for it. But check scalemates, perhaps. it's usually up to date on the changes. Cheers H
  2. A data link provides a means to send your "picture" from sensors to other users and Operations Control. It allows many assets sharing information giving way better Situational Awareness. In NATO circumstances they use Link 11, 14 and 16 to transmit this info. A Targeting pod allows the carrier to aim a "smart weapon" that it doesn't have internally. Like Sniper on an F-16 (in the good old days) as opposed to an F-35 who has some targeting ability built into the airframe. Cheers H.
  3. Phase Hangar Resin was making a 32nd A-10C cockpit. I believe a 1/12 as well...
  4. For the ejection seats, if you take the lower 2 seats, add armrests to them, then you have the pilot/copilot seats. It's weird that they chose the ACES style seat for the MC kit, but there we are. Nigel has quite a few upgrades for the kit, horizontal stabs, engine mods for the G, new nose pieces to correct the EVS and radome, wing fuel tanks and wheel bays, I have them all, but unfortunately my kit is packed away due to moves. (Also got fed up, as my AGM-69 load didn't work with the rotary launcher, so I'll have to go back to 4 B28 load... I suppose I could add the ALCM to mine.
  5. The quality of Nigel's stuff is excellent. few if any bubbles, and well executed parts. The accuracy is quite good as well!
  6. Nigel from the youtube channel "nigels modelling bench" made some B-52 fixes for the G and H. It has the newer nose section, corrected wheel bays, corrected tail planes and an engine update if you use the Eduard set. I have those sets but the model is packed away at the moment awaiting another move. If you go to his channel and search B-52 he has several videos detailing the builds. Also search on here, there was quite a discussion with regards to the B-52 from modelcollect. Cheers H.
  7. It is in the mold yes. Not impossible, but a pain for sure.
  8. It would require some big mods on the fuselage... But for us Westland fans this is fantastic news!
  9. Festooned is a word that fits this aircraft well... It is 'FESTOONED' with lumps and bumps...
  10. RCNFAN, if you do a search there was a a Photo Etch kit that did tail fold and airstair door. https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/FHP48101?result-token=Kqw7i There it is. It's a fine set.
  11. 72nd, and whichever scheme is the newer one. Not after a specific bird, but am after a specific unit, 415 Sqn RCAF.
  12. Looking for a sheet of the canuckmodels CP-140 decals please! Let me know if yo have a set and are willing to sell. I am in Canada.
  13. Like title says, looking for Canadian decals for F-86 in 32nd. as appropriate for RCAF jet. Any help is appreciated. I'm in Canada.
  14. I found a sheet that was OOP and I believe it was "Draw Decal" that produced the actual sheets although I might be wrong. Whomever it was still had some copies of other sheets in the Wolfpak decals range. I believe the original owner passed on. Found it: https://www.fantasyprintshop.co.uk/decals/aircraft-decals/wolfpak-decals/1-48-scale-wollfpack-decals/ This is the site, unfortunately looks like the sheet you want is indeed "unobtainium"... Sorry!
  15. Sten's Hobby in Bodoe, Norway. I'd go there after my birthday to pick up a kit, and beg for a catalogue...
  16. The front piece of the float is a rubber bumper. Looks to be an EDO float, probably the same as the one for the 185 Cessna.
  17. Thecolor of the rear bulkhead is dull metal, titanium likely since it is abutting the hot (VERY HOT) section of the engine. the work platform is cured fibreglass/
  18. Ok for sale the following list, all prices USD, haggle if you must, shipping at cost. Paypal goods and services or E-transfer if within Canada: 1/32 Tamiya F-4J With CAM Exhaust, VF41 Decals, Stars and Bars and Walkways, $100 Pending Trumpeter A-10A with Cutting Edge Cockpit, Exterior, Dual Rail Adapter (Sidewinder Rails), Eduard Exterior and Mask, Squadron Canopy x2, GT Resin Intakes, QB Seat, Blackbox Cockpit, AMS Limited Edition A-10C Instrument Panel and Antenna, Master Barrel Cannon, Olimp A-10 weapons set and decals, Speedhunter decals, 2Bobs decals, $350
  19. I have a SH-60B and an F to do, so good to see yours come together! got some Reskit stuff on the way too!
  20. Latest completed model, The Lancaster cockpit section from HK Models. This is quite large, and I can't begin to imagine how large the whole thing is! I'm not as accomplished as most of you here, but I did a for me, good job. tried some weathering techniques inside, with some worn off metal by chipping the floors and desks etc. hard to see from outside. I used the Eduard Cockpit set as the kit comes with nothing. Surprised really, but I guess we can't get everything we want! Canadian subject because Canada! Anyway, I started this this summer, and completed it today!
  21. Definitely looks to be a B. Short cord tail fin, Tail rotor on the left side. The rest is more difficult. I don't know if the B models had the thumper turret and carried rocket pods, or if they had a sand filter. But the experts will likely take that and run with it. Would be fun as a once in the career project, but it is pricy.
