Bill-TGH

I have requested and received stencil & placard additions (the Banshee on his site is just one example) as well as correction to size and changes in numbers. Bill Burns is extremely helpful & customer orientated (like that sales jargon ?) I'm sure if you provided samples (understanding the limitation of the alps printer & scaling text down for smaller kits... I build 1/144) he will be willing to accomodate your needs.. cheers Bill TGH

are those joysticks glued in ? http://cougar.frugalsworld.com/images/gall...ugarHawkPit.jpg Bill TGH

http://cdn-www.airliners.net/photos/photos/7/3/8/0959837.jpg sorry, Alvin, just had to start this one over. 434 Sqdn had some of its CT-133 Silver Stars modified with a single piece front windscreen... 133579, 133571 & this beast, all just before they were phased out & sold. 133579 is in the US (Wisconsin - SilverJet LLc) 133571 has an owner in Kitchener but an odd US registration this beast will make a great dio (won't need much for decals) however, I can't find any details on the modifications. Does anyone know if these are spare windshields from the Boeing SKYFOX project ?

133571 seems to have the same canopy modification.... a few pages into this report on the last flypast for 434 out of Greenwood show a 3/4 shot of the SilverStar, and it looks to have a 1 piece front screen http://acam.ednet.ns.ca/newslet/may2002/may2002.pdf cheers Bill TGH

I found 133579 http://www.airport-data.com/aircraft/N433RD.html the FAA modification notes do not mention anything about the windscreen, but it is not a standard T-33 piece of kit. I don't think this bird was in Germany at all... was a colour bird for 434 in '93 (silver& black, city of Halifax ?) was in St Hubert (transit to Ottawa ?) in 98, was stored and then sold to Silverjet in 02. cheers Bill TGH PS Alvin, I missed this tread initially because it was so far in, but I saw your note lamenting Real Aircraft threads and followed up .... and thanks for an unusual pic...

Follow up on 133579.... ex 434 Sqdn, sold into the US FAA registration http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/nn...Numbertxt=433RD cheers Bill TGH PS, some aren't very happy 'bout either ! http://acam.ednet.ns.ca/newslet/july2003/july2003.pdf

http://www.myaviation.net/search/search.ph...mp;regnr=133579 London, 1992... 579 was in the Blue/Grey low-vis. Any chance she is now a gate guard in Germany ? cheers Bill TGH

I hope you've sent a copy of the rescue Huey to Bill Burns :blink: cheers Bill TGH ps : thanks for these (right click & save ) better than that 1st cup of coffee

http://www.madoc.us/profiles.html Canadian, British etc F-106 schemes.... heck, my youngest is building an SF, rocket powered space travelling version with a dinosaur pilot ! cheers Bill TGH

please, a few details on the F-18 without strakes..... did it actually fly in this condition ? cheers Bill TGH

I was just reading about this one, thinking of a Canadian Army what-if.... Scale Aviation Modeller International Vol 8 Issue 11 Page 1032.... artwork on US Army 0065 shows a nearly NATO standard (ie Sabre Mk6) of dark grey & dark green over light grey, with LOTS of day-glo & US Army titals in white.... looks different than Luftwaffe artwork & pictures.... differs from ex-Luftwaffe FAP ships as well.... :o Bill TGH

no flaps on take-off ? cheers Bill TGH

http://www.canmilair.com/products.asp?cat=62 at least 8 versions of the CDN Herc available from Bill Burns... I just recieved a set for another plane (thanks again Bill) and they are just great ! Cheers Bill-TGH

Matt's asleep now, so I'll answer for him... we have two complete commpressor/airbrush set-ups, Badger 200s on both, one for acrylics (that Matt's) & one for everything else( Ben & dad). The lad has been building since he was five and been using an airbrush on his own for the last 2 years thanks for the kind words... cheers Bill TGH

to be fair... I "borrowed" the idea from FLANKERMAN, Ken Duffy. His pics of museum bird in Russia have been a huge inspiration. thanks for the kind words... for a 3.00 kit it was loads of fun. Bill TGH

Wm Burns has a nice site with custom decals for the Sea Fury http://www.canmilair.com/products.asp?cat=29 I haven't tried them yet cheers Bill TGH
