Post WWll carrier based aircraft, primarily from the late 40's through 1960, as well as small air forces around the world. I love the "one-off" and unusual.

WTB Modelcraft F-82 radar pod and nightfighter decals. Any help appreciated.

looking for Dynavector Gannet canopy
FAAFAN posted a topic in Buy and sell - add scale to your title

Looking for counter rotating prop, blades and sting hook for this 1/48 kit. Any help appreciated

Specifically, I am using either black or burnt umber, heavily diluted with thinner, as a wash in panel lines. When the paint is thinned on a pallet, it "chunks" into small pigment grains and does not retain it's paint qualities- IE- it is no longer mixed as part of the carrier.

I have a question, probably asked here before many times. Why does my Model Master enamel paint, particularly dark pigmented paints, fail to retain the pigment in the paint- in other words, the pigment separates and tiny bits of it solidify and separate from the carrier. It often happens after only one use of a paint jar, particularly with black, umber, dark greys, etc. Is there a fix to this?

anyone willing to part with this kit?

I am preparing to start construction on my 1/48 scale Dynavector vacform Scimitar, and need photo details of the wingfold. I can't find any good detailed photos anywhere. Can anyone help with this? Any help appreciated.

Yes it flew and only three examples were ever made before it was scrapped. I may try to convert an earlier mark of Firebrand into a Firecrest- or try my first-ever scratchbuilt aircraft. Which, by the way is a sure-fire way to get a manufacturer to kit something. I scratchbuilt a Swedish S tank, and viola! -Kitted. Then it was a British Scimitar light tank- Again- Kitted shortly after completion. Currently awaiting someone to kit the Spanish Aircraft carrier Principe de Asturias, as I scratchbuilt that a few years ago. Then I will be 3 for 3...
-
Firecrest was the designated successor to the Blackburn Firebrand, a marginally successful heavy fighter-turned-torpedo bomber. Did anyone ever kit this obscure aircraft in 1/48 scale?
-
Thanks for the input- I am still a bit conflicted. I agree with you all to the extent that the evidence shows much of all three options. I actually did not know the Sea Fury wells were Chromate yellow. Guess it will be sky Type S and hope for the best. Many thanks.
-
I am building Magna Models 1/48 scale Firebrand Mk 5, and need advice on the color for the main gear wells- Natural Metal, Zinc chromate yellow, interior green or sky type S? Any help appreciated.

I just purchased this kit off the clearance table at Bobe's Hobbies in Pensacola. I need some help with locating decals for the NMF/Orange trainer version, and possibly the camo single-seat attack bird (not sure if I can get there from here...). Nice looking kit from the sprues, but not sure how she'll build up. Came with no instructions and no decals. Any help appreciated.
