it is possible it is trying to replicate the radar reflectors sometimes seen on these while they fly in civilian airspace, but got it in the wrong location. most pictures show it just behind the weapons bay.

Saw that ICM has a 1/48 H.P. Hampden in the 2025 catalogue! Can't wait to gt my hands on that one, and we are only a 1/48th Halifax away from being able to build a full RCAFWWII fleet!

it is most likely a Pantone colour, and not directly available in model paints. Your best bet is to mix a custom colour and in a large enough batch to paint the kit and still have some left for touch ups later. It may also help to look into some model car forums as i am sure it is the same blue as their cars and you may find that reference more readily. Regards, Sean

How do they get the OK for this, but are still having issues with the license for the Tutor kit? Love this scheme...but I wants my Tutor!!!

As per an article on TWZ, the centerline position was for initial testing and they will eventually try to get it certified for the cheek position. Even though LITENING was mounted in a centerline configuration different from the ATFLIR for the flight test, Conroy went on to tell The War Zone that may change. Northrop Grumman intends to have LITENING certified to be fixed to either Station 6 located on the Super Hornet’s centerline or Station 5, which would fit the ATP to the jet’s left cheek adjacent to the intake where the ATFLIR is currently located when loaded. This is important

instructions I found online show decal numbers for that scheme that don't appear on the decal sheet pictured, and many online reviews for the kit mention "extensive decals sheet for special markings" I think they are included but just aren't shown. A review I found on Youtube (in German) only shows the one small decal sheet....so I am not 100% sure either if they are included or not.

Antoine, found this online showing the profile in the Warpath book. Don't see much else online about this aircraft. Sean

been a few years since I posted in here... 1/24 Hurricane built for the pilot of the current VWC bird 1/48 Kate 1/48 B-17F converted to YB-40 1/48 Lancaster converted to a Lincoln

nice...I have an S-3 that needs a good set of decals!

I use a mix of the tamiya panel accenter and just a simple black tempera/water mix. I usually use future as a gloss so using water based washes doesn't affect anything. just depends on what part of the airframe I am looking to highlight. Sean

Here is the clearest image I am able to find. still not clear enough I think

Lear 35 has bonding/grounding plugs in the tip tank, as does the MU-2. i would make the guess that the outer ones are a “tressel/support here” type marking and the middle one is a “bonding point below” or something. Hopefully you can find the answer!!

based off the side of the masks that have the more detailed edge, I would go with painting the entire airframe white, then applying the masks, and painting the nose yellow. I don't have the kit in hand so I can't say for sure.

My latest builds using Caracal decals. Both are the ancient Modelcraft F-82E. I used 3d printed parts, 3d cockpit decals and vacuform canopies to convert one to the "G" regards, Sean
