    1/72 Military Aircraft, Riding in the Rockies on my dirtbike.
  1. Yes I know that, but I also know that Delta Aviation acquire all the ID Models moulds, Delta Aviation is Blackbird Models, which is why I asked.
  2. My copy of PAK-20 shows a 1/12 Me.262, could that be it ? Question for you Tigger, did you get the Lockheed C-5 too?
  3. I was very sad to see Jason's post, very similar to my experience. 8 years and counting as of today.
  4. As I don't know which airfoil is drawn anyway (not labelled), I doesn't worry me which one it is, it's just that there's something there which I can then make some ribs so the plastic will have some shape to it, the Combat Models vacuform being of very thin styrene for the size of the model. Same with the engine nacelles, they don't appear to be dead round. As to when the drawings were done I couldn't say either, but the CM kit seems to follow it quite well from what I've checked so far. I'm planning on building the model later this year along with a 1/72 CC-150 of Transport Wings. Edit:

  6. Hi, I am currently in possession of a set of drawings of the C-17 but unfortunately not in a position to copy or pass on anything from them without permission from their owner, my friend Steve, who kindly let me borrow them so I can complete my 1/72 Combat Models vacuform kit. I can say that the origin of these drawings are from McDonnell Douglas and out of curiosity I printed off Jennings nose profile to compare with what I have and it does match practically exactly. Now that I have two sources of the nose profile I can confidently say the model when I've finished should be more like a pro
  7. Nice photo Alvin Notice that these are Furys and not Sea Furys, the clue being there's no tail hook bulge just after the tail wheel. There were de-navalized Sea Furys that also went to Iraq, these retaining the bulge but not including the hook.
  8. According to the book Canadian Military Aircraft - Finish and Markings 1968-2004 by Patrick Martin, the current Seaking colour is overall Grey 26173 with Grey 26118 colour for all the markings.

  10. Hi, you need to buy this book: In Chapter 5 there are 11 pages on all the CF-5 Aggressor schemes, much to much to write down here though, and the last three pages of the chapter has side profile pictures. There's also a whole slew of colour photos to look at too. Cheers, Robert
  11. I'll go along with that. Robert
  12. If I was doing a quiz and there were questions I didn't know, I would be more inclined to go and find out what it is about so I would know in the future. I wouldn't just pass it by because I didn't know, if I did that then I would never find out about it, would I? On the other hand, if I was on one of these really anal quiz shows you see on TV you wouldn't have a lot of choice but to just pass it by.
  13. Hmm! seeing as I don't know what this quiz is you're talking about I can't argue the point either, but it sort of strikes me that what you're saying is, if I'm doing a crossword (which is a quiz) I can't use a dictionary to find out what a word might be to solve a question. Is that right?
  14. I was just wondering, is there a problem with someone asking for an identification, this is the Aircraft Resource Center is it not? Where else would someone go if they were trying to find a name for an aircraft, other than here. Does it matter if he is doing a quiz, or finding answers for someone else who's doing a quiz? What's the problem guys? Robert
  15. Anytime I can help I'll try. Thanks for the kind words ( I couldn't find the 'embarrassed' smiley) Cheers, Robert
