My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Brian -
Most likely, the colours were American versions of the standard Btitish scheme of Dark Green, Dark Earth and Sky (there has been much discussion about light grey versus sky on several sites.) Check the ipms canada site, you may find more there. Cheers.

I wonder if there was a "dirty bird" contest for the C/F-18s, between the USN and the RCAF, who would win? -

What? No rude comments about electric personalities. Sorry, but the problem is fairly rare out here on the wet coast of Canada, with our usual damp weather. -
Seaking replacement - part 2 The story starts with, "We hate the F-35 Because the Conservatives liked it. Let's cancel that, dick around with "negotiations" with Boeing and pay their price, hold another "competition" and delay things until after the next election and then pick something that offers the most industrial offsets for la belle province." Do I sound cynical? Sign me disappointed.

You might try painting a clear decal sheet in the appropriate colour, then cutting to shape and applying. Just a thought. Cheer.

Can anyone advise me as to whether the new RCAF stretched c-130j shows any amount of dihedral or even anhedral while on the ground? I 'd like to know before gluing Or hacking away at the kit. Many thanks, Brian

Glad to see there were no injuries. BUT WAIT! Was that the Tirpitz in the background (about 3:18) running up in the top right of the frame??? 😱

Hi Shawn Great model. Could you point me to a source that gives the size and location of the fuselage plugs for the stretched version? I woul like to try to follow your build, but with a 1/72 version. I hate to count the number of times I've ridden the red seats transcon in the earlier Hercs. Thanks, Brian. oops - should have said CC-130 J

Great News! Now I won't have to travel so far from Vancouver to see her. My Dad did one of his trips as the F/E on KB882 with 428 Ghost squadron. -
I've been looking at the current crop of 1/72 scale F-35A models and i'm puzzled about the rectangular and saw-toothed edged marking on the fuselage and in other places on the airframe. Are these a type of sealant or different textured surface panels? Are these markings always applied? Are they a type of paint demarking fragile areas of the airframe? Any help would be most welcome. Thanks, Brian
