C'mon Tamiya!! A State of the Art 48th scale F-86E Saber
Snowbird3a replied to jabow's topic in General Discussion
nice 1:1 photos, BUT, the OP asked for a E and the narrow chord slatted wing. The nice photos show a F-86F-40 wing that has already been kitted in all scales. A proper 'A' released would make kitbashing into a 'E' quite easy as was already mentioned. Tony -
not all de-ice is accomplished with rubber boots. Engine bleed air is very hot and can be ducted anywhere, electric heating is also used for de-icing various parts. Cheers, Tony

I would put this in 'General Discussion'. More people will read and respond. Cheers, Tony

Google Images has a ton of photos available; most(not all) RCAF Mustangs had the HS un-cuffed prop, so the version that supplies that would be the one you want ; there is a couple schemes that have the cuffed prop. Do You have the decal sheet in question, as the instruction sheet is quite comprehensive. any other particular issues in mind ? Cheers, Tony

Iām looking for information on the Canadair Sabre Mk 5.
Snowbird3a replied to BWDenver's topic in Jet Modeling
Yes, Hawk One(23314) was eventually equipped with the F-86F-40 wing which featured pylon mountings at wing Sta 72.25 and 118. They are the mounting locations of a late 'F' model Tony -
Yup, that's it. Pick your choose ! cheers, Tony

Snowbird3a replied to BWDenver's topic in Jet Modeling
Yes it does--however the wing pylons are not in the right spot--they need to be 53mm from the centreline Tony -
I see the font question is settled, however, if you wish; PM me and I could assist you with any other details you may want to add to your build. I have a few years experience on the CT-114 Cheers, Tony

the Belcher sheet is also old and doesn't have the up to date marking scheme that is used currently, it can be used(with modifications) up to a 2017 Snowbird. Tony

Aircraft of that block did have 6-3 leading edges fitted before the end of hostilities, ala Beautious Butch (51-12971), it had 6-3 wings. HTH, Tony edit PS. since no kit in 1/48 gives you a correct slatted wing anyway, just go with the Superscale decals š

1/32 Kitty Hawk T-6/Harvard, "Kicked Up A Notch"

perhaps, when I get around to it, I could use it to get a master for vacuforming. š Cheers, Tony -
1/32 Kitty Hawk T-6/Harvard, "Kicked Up A Notch"
Snowbird3a replied to chuck540z3's topic in The Display Case
could you not get an Alley Cat corrected canopy instead of using the kit T-6 canopy edit; just read in your WIP about your canopy woes, that's too bad as I have the Alley Cat canopy but no KH kit. š Tony -

the Hasegawa ones are usable, are yours the HobbyCraft re-pop ? Tony

could you be a bit more vague ????

absolutely wrong, the P-51 and the Spitfire have completely different size wheels and tires. Tony

What colour yellow were the Yellowjacks painted.
Snowbird3a replied to rob.w's topic in General Discussion
The best reference for this is the booklet on the Red Arrows issued by the Aerobatic Teams SIG of IPMS (UK), a few years ago. It describes the Yellow as being BS381C:355 Lemon, but visually appeared to be BS381C:309 Canary Yellow. It was NOT RAF Rescue Yellow. As to what model paint is best, I intend to use Humbrol #99 or Humbrol HT6. Perhaps MM2717 might be a close match, YMMV. Here is a Britmodeller thread on the topic ; https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234938378-airfix-yellowjacks-gnat-decal-options/ Cheers, Tony -
Scale Aircraft Conversion Metal Gears. Thoughts?
Snowbird3a replied to dai phan's topic in General Discussion
case in point; A SAC F-86 nose gear, a direct copy of the Hasegawa kit part, then what a F-86 gear should actually look like; -
or 1/72 for that matter;(ignoring the Matchbox caricature). Anything boxed as an 'E' is not an 'E' Tony
