  1. Indeed I noticed it Andre that quality is down the drain. my understanding is that quality should go up again, as production of the paints is back in the United Kingdom. Having bought Humbrol 226 it is translucent so more coats of paint before you are happy. But with current problems of Model Master Paints not being in the stores and having old humbrol paints I go for 120.
  2. Thanks Ian I appriciate your post!! I meant indeed the Israeli Air Force. I take into account enviromental conditions can give mid-east jets variations on the standard paint. I have to see 120 myself first but I think I have that at hand.
  3. What is the best Green for Mirage III IAF markings? I visited Wings Pallete for the colours and it states that FS 34258 is correct. However there is no Humbrol number for this green, and I have Humbrol at hand most of the colours. So what is close to the Green I need for this IAF scheme? TIA
  4. I am realy in need for just 1 roundel to complete a 1/24 airfix spitfire Mk.1a. The Decal I need is the fuselage one with the yellow band around it. Please do PM me if you have one going spare Big Thank You in Advance Eric
  5. Ah I did not know that jennings. But i may be able to correct that error on my kits. Thanks for clearing it!
  6. Thanks for telling me Jennings! Would it be visible this scale? Its not that big a model like the 72nd scale model. I can work on the windows no problem. What is needed is there. On the engines I can add some sheet to look better more fat like you say.
  7. Thanks Major but the Revell kit is too small to use, I have just build that AWACS for a friend.
  8. Bought the Nitto E-3 AWACS but its missing its disc and the parts holding it. I post it up here as many airliner modellers are not using the disc. Any help most welcome. Feel free to PM me if you have those parts This is the kit I'm talking about https://www.scalemates.com/kits/179440-nitto-424-boeing-e-3a-awacs Thanks in advance
  9. Impressive work my friend!!
  10. @Sean KLM 747-? As they changed colours in the past
  11. Thanks for clearing that 305! 👍
  12. I have 4 AIM-9D missiles can they be loaded on USAF F-4E? TIA
  13. @ phantombullet I have used many times oven cleaner, perhaps unconventional but effective. I would dismantle the ship into large easy parts. Do take time and do not force! Subsections work better. Take fi one gun ofthe ship put that in muscle ovencleaner and like i do on shower floor and leave it there for a few hours than shower the subsection most of the paint should be gone. Good luck! So pics appriciated.
  14. After being cleaned getting last dust of, they are painted White Humbrol 34. This white serves as a primer and better to get the yellow comming out nice after 2 runs. AIM-9B after the first run of yellow Revell 12 is the most yellow I have seen. Airbrushing is just fine instead of brushpainting it.
  15. I say Impresive work!! But by far that is not enough
  16. AIM-120A This is the A version of the AIM-120. This version does not have a cableduct. Sanded away all the detail, engraved the top of the missile and drilled hole between the forward wings. At this point it will not be vissible when added to the model like the F-16 or F/A-18 . comments welcome
  17. I am in need for decals of F/A-18A+ of VFA-151 Monogram 1/48 kitnumber 5807 I could place most of the decals of the kit, but the ones on its back VFA-151 where beyond repair due of the age of the decal sheet. I could also use the fuselage launchers (part 27 & 28 ) as the ones with the kit are having LANTIRN system and for a CF-18I can not add those Thanks for helping me out!
  18. Their glue for glueing clear parts is fine and works also for using making windows. I use their paints as well however the white 34 I am using is like working with toothpaste :-(
