  1. I thank you both, I can now proceed!
  2. Howdy folks, Can I presume on your wealth of knowledge again please? I am looking for the colours and/or FS numbers for the desert camo scheme on the B-1A. Any help would be much appreciated. TIA Frank
  3. Hi Guys & Gals Our 1/1 T-33 has come to the end of it's restoration, and is now having paintwork applied, naturally going into the colours of the 81st TFW. We have located a PDF showing the location and font etc of the airframe stencils, however it lacks some important detail. There should be a stencil at the base of the fin, just forward of the rudder. This is shown either as black text or red text in a white box. We think it is to do with the rudder linkage, but despite scouring the web, we have been unable to find a photograph, or details of the wording. Does any of
  4. My Monogram instructions do not have this, though they appear to indicate the doors slide upwards. Thank you.
  5. Not quite, the options present the inner or outer door skin, which also means a colour option. That's why I need to know.
  6. Did the doors hinge inwards or slide up? I'm doing a 'D' assembly ship.
  7. Most interesting, and thank you. I plan to model an F-104A, which is supposedly NMF all over. I will speak with Maj Al Brown, who flew the modified 'A' model that was supplied to Taiwan. Apparently the J79 was tweaked to give increased performance. He said nothing would touch it in it's day.
  8. Hi Guys, Can anyone tell me why USAF F-104s had white painted wings, when the rest of the airframe was NMF? Also was this fleet wide, as I am sure I have seen all NMF airframes? TIA Frank
  9. Yep, I have the Combat Models vacform. As you say, it needs a lot of work. How did they get it wrong when they have the scale drawings? The nose/cockpit is way off.
  10. Back in the day, when Trumpeter were starting up, and asking for suggestions, I asked Mr Song for the A/C in 1/32. I'm still hoping, and I also want the F-84F in 1/32. Come on guys, pull your fingers out, these are gaps in the market that need filling!
  11. I have in front of me a review sample the two seater kit, and it doesn't share the same parts. It has the correct coaming and correct brass etched IP for the interior and side consoles as well as decals. If the interceptor and recce back seaters had a different set up, that will need to be addressed. Mine will become a recce bird at some point years down the road. My example is missing the decals and brass for the back seater. KH have also fallen out with Detail and Scale, and the retail boxes will have the D&S reference deleted. What it does lack for the recce version is a plain pan
  12. I bought a sheet for a 1/48 P-38 J. They were well out of scale, and rolled up like an armadillo. They will not see my money again. I know one chap wanted a sheet they produced. He bought it, scanned it, and printed his own.
