72046 does not provide markings for the latest F-5EM/F-5FM?? greetings Dick van Faassen

Thanks Erik , But I was planning to build the first prototype: the two-seater with the Grifon onnthe tail. Does your statements also count for this prototype? (The Kittyhawk two-seat Gripen has decals for this prototype, by the way!) regards. Dick

Is somebody planning a conversion for the new Grippen E/F? Or are there plans of bringing out this version as a plastic model? Would love to build one in 1/72nd scale and 1/48th scale!!

Hello, Does anyone of you have details on this poposed fighter. What are the differences between this plane and the normal Mirage F-1? Is it still somewhere and are there any detailshots of this plane. I want to build one in 1/72 scale. TIA Dick van Faassen

Yes that is the picture from the Aerofax publication. But now what about the otherside? To whom were these Chinooks sold after the cancelling of the Nigerian order?

Hi There, I want to build the CH-47C in Nigerian Airforce colours. However i cannot find an details about this scheme. I know Nigeria didn't get these Chinooks but there is only one picture I know of in the Aerofax Chinook book. Who can help me with this items or where can I find more details of this scheme. Thanks in advance. Dick van Faassen

Hi There, I°m building a Spitfire Vb from 322 sqn Dutch airforce during WW2. I notice that Spitfires carry two cables from fuselage to tail planes and other Spitfires did not have them. I researched some books on this but i cannot find anything on this. The only thing I notices that the early Spits have these cables, say from Early mark 1 till early Mark IX. and the later versions have something else? I do notice that a few Spitfire Mk VB's didn't have these cables. Do they have another system? And were they retrofitted? Can annyone share some light into this subject?? TIA Dick

Hi There, I'm building the Matchbox Revell LRDG cars in 1/76 scale. I have seen some suggestions on the internet but I cannot find suggestion to acryllic paints. I use Humbrol, revell, Valejo, Lifecolour, Xtracrylix and Agama paints. This is my first attemt to AFV in 1/76 and 1/72 scale. I'm in fact an aircraft builder but I want building something different for a period. Any help is welcome. Kind regards Dick

Hi There, I bought last week in Switzerland the Heller 1/72 Super Puma from the Limited Edition "Arwico Swiss line collection". But the colours puzzled me very much. So my questions: 1. Can a decent Swiss Airforce be build from this kit? Does it need any changes? 2. What are the exact camouflage colours of a Swiss Super Puma? 3. I recall Switzerland has also a few Cougars. What is the difference betwoeen a Super Puma and a Cougar? Any help is welcome! TIA. Regards, Dick

Hi There, I want to build the Aerospatiale AS-565 Panther demo F-ZVLP or F-ZVLO. I have the Scalecast conversion set and the Duarte conversion set so averything is complete but now the decals, Is there a decalsheet for this version of the demo around somewhere when it flew in the nineteen eighties? (f.i. at Farnborough back in 1986) Maybe someone had made a decalsheet privately? Or is someone prepared to make these decals for me? I have a few detailed pictures where you can see the markings. So anything or suggestions etc. is welcome. Regards Dick

Hi There, I want to make a F-5EM from the Brazilian Airforce in his updated version. I have the Duarte conversion set and the Airfix kit. All I need is decals for this fighter. I beleive FCM had them on their decalsheet 72.30 but it is not for sale or in stoch anywhere. My question is can someone who has this sheet give or sell me these spare decals of the F-5EM? I would be very grateful! TIA greetings, Dick

Hi there, I'm building right now the Kinetic 1/72nd F-16I Sufa. Now coming in the decalling phase I noticed that the instruction leaflet for the decals is wrong!! In the box is the 48th scale version where the numbers of the decals do not match with the numbers on the decalsheet. It will take a lot of time correcting it with a pen or I will have make some mistakes!! Is there a correction leaflet for the 1/72nd kit available and can it be downloaded from internet (Raymond Chung)? I've bought this kit from Luckymodels a half a year ago, when it first came out! TIA Regards, Dick

Hi There, I'm looking for the upper fuselage from the Fujimi kit of the Viper 1/72 nd scale. I found the kit in my loft, wanting to build it I noticed there was no upper fuselage in it. I don't know where it is.. It could also be a kit without it as I did bought it years ago second hand on a modelling event. I can't remember if it was missing or if I have lost it. An incmplete kit with the upper fuselage would also be welcome. TIA regards Dick

Dear sir, I was wondering can the Armycast conversion set of the Longbow Apache also be used on other kits in 1/72 scale?? I have in stock an Italeri AH-64D Longbow and a Hobby Boss Longbow Apache. And a few Hasegawa ones. Can the conversion set also be used on the Hobby Boss, the Italeri (Mirage hobby) and Hasegawa models? If so, what changes do I have to do to fit the Longbow conversion set on these models? Kind Regards, Dick van Faassen
