The scheme would be RAF Dark Green, Dark Sea Grey and Light Aircraft Grey. For Tamiya I would use XF-81, XF-54 and XF-80 but Gunze should have those colours C330, C331 and C332 as they're standard RAF postwar scheme. MRP would be MRP-110 , MRP-113 and MRP-374.

Upon learning from Scale Scriber that Tamiya will definitely have simpler parts break down and small part counts compared to this, I will be taking back my hasty decision made earlier. I will no longer buying this kit and will be just waiting for the Tamiya rendition.
You might be waiting for a while for a Tamiya F-14B. Phase Hanger Resin does an F-14B conversion for the Tamiya kit.

This being a reprint, I did not change anything in the design of the existing sheets. But I am considering another ANG F-4C/D sheet with many of the options I had to skip earlier. As for NJ ANG aircraft - these will appear on a new series of F-4E / RF-4C / F-4G sheets that are coming in the next few months.
A nice 123FIS F-4C here

There is a company that makes paint masks for the MC-130E black/green paint. There are enough pictures of that scheme
on the net that you can do it. Markings they just had the tail number on the tail. No USAF above it and national insignia
on the fuselage only. Just forward of the paratroop doors there were 8 slots for the old chaff dispensors. Prop foul lines
from the wingtips to the nose. The 8th SOS is going back to being a MC-130J squadron.

I'm looking forward to it being available internationally.

My pre ordered F-16D's arrived in the UK this week and were collected on Friday.

It's a great kit, I've built the C-130J-30 and C-130H. Very easy to put together.

Seconded on the VAW-127

The A-10C Display Team has one of their Warthogs painted up as Memphis Belle III.

I received the kit this week and the surface finish on mine is the same as the above photo.

It looks like someone finally found a way to make Chinese jets look good:
That reminds me of the scheme that Pakistani AF Sabre F.6's were painted in.

I use MRP all the time and I've never had a problem with coverage. I always shake the bottle thoroughly and it goes down beautifully.

Great work.

Let's keep this on topic. The Minicraft kit can be discussed in a separate thread. Tired of threads derailing 😉
I agree, this kit is perfectly buildable and I've seen several builds where they didn't worry about very minor issues and just built it. This kit is not perfect but no kit is but it's a thoroughly enjoyable build and close enough to an AM for me without rivet counting.

Not sure if any other decal maker ever did Cuban markings in that scale, for those aircraft, but if they did I'll also buy/swap for those. Contact here or by pm. Thanks!

What about US Navy/Marine SAR helos such as those based at the various air stations? I'm thinking of the SH-3s , MH-60S and HH-46. I'd love to see Pax River and China Lake.

IIRC Iraqi MiG-21's carried the Matra Magic missile and I've seen Pakistani J-7s with the AIM-9P Sidewinder.

Meanwhile there is build in progres on FB of F-16C. As you can see, that model looks just like Tamiya. Almost the same I do believe. According to author, Rene van der Hart "putty hardly used". But frankly said I am not so sure about shape of forward part of fuselage.
Anyway, if it is true, and the quality of kit is similar to Tamiya, byt the kit is much more expensive than Tamiya, so I do not see any sense to buy it.
There are no shape issues with the nose.

Great news! I'll keep an eye out for it.
