    Help: Trumpeter P-51B Mustang III Painting Guide

    in Props

    Posted

    Hi all guys,

    this morning I was inspecting my Trumpeter P-51B kit (Kit #02283 Mustang III) and I have discovered that the painting & markings guide it is not provided...

    This is a separate sheet than the building instruction, printed in colors on glossy paper.

    For me a scan will be enough but if anyone has that page stored somewhere, I gladly pay any shipping cost to receive that.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards.

    I'm looking for a 1/48 Monogram F-84F (kit #5437). The box cover states, "molded in silver". If you have this issue or the one with SEA camo markings (kit #5432), please let me know. I also have kits for trade if interested.

    Jeff

    I have only the Revell edition, that has a gread decals sheet, if can be the same....

    For your informaion, the SEA camo edition had ANG marking and very dark green plastic parts.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi all guys,

    I am trying to find this decal sheet because I need some markings for my RF-8A conversion, and this seems the only ever produced.

    I now the decal sheet is no more in production, but I would like to try anyway.

    A complete set will be perfect but my real interest it is only for the RF-8A markings, so if anyone is plannig to do one of the others provided, I gladly pay/trade for VFP-62 part.

    Even some information about a possible alternative, or some shop that has that in stock, will be fine.

    Thanks in advance for the attention.

    Best regards.

    LF: 1/48 F-8 Crusader complete fin...

    in The Spares Box - add scale to your title

    Posted · Edited by phantomfan

    Hi all,

    today I have received the RVHP RF-8A conversion and with great surpise I have discovered that the set provides a complete fuselage but without the fin!!!

    This must be taken from the Hasegawa offering but my donor kit has no fuselage, it was a partial built frame, so I need to find only the tail to start my work.

    I suppose the best option is to find a trashed Hasegawa F-8Crusader, but I think I can work also on the Monogram vertical tail.

    So, my question is, if anyone has this part, will he be so kind to let me know?

    I have a lot of parts/decals/accessories to trade or I can pay any reasonable cost.

    Thanks a lot for the attention.

    Best regards.

    looking for these decals and a junked 1/48 Revell/Monogram Hornet

    in The Spares Box - add scale to your title

    Posted · Edited by phantomfan

    1/48 decals (any make) for F-8 Crusader. Need VF-191 and VF-194 when they were onboard the Oriskany. Line birds ok, prefer them to CAG aircraft. Not too keen on the Bicentenial markings.

    Also looking for a junked unbuilt unwanted Monogram F/A- 18. Got one used and it had the spine antennae broken off. Really need the top fuselage. IF you have the version that had the LGBs that came with the VFA-125 markings, I would be interested in it also.

    THanks again.

    Gabe

    Hi Gabe,

    I have a Monogram F/A-18, the one you need, but I started to rescribe some parts, except that it is complete.

    About the F-8 Decals, I have a complete set from the Hasegawa PT25 F-8E Crusader kit, if you want they can be yours.

    All the best.

    LF: 1/48 HASEGAWA RF-4 Phantom II parts

    in The Spares Box - add scale to your title

    Posted · Edited by phantomfan

    Hi again guys,

    a my friend gave me a partial built Hasegawa RF-4E but I don't know why (either him... :bandhead2: ) three important pieces are missing, Q3, Q6 & Q7.

    Those are 3 essential parts for the Recce Phantom, they are both fairings for rear Sparrow Bays and the nose zone around the forward wheel bay, a particular feature of the RF-4's...

    I am sure those pieces are the same for any Hasegawa RF-4 kit, so no matter which version they came from.

    I can buy/swap for for them, I have a good selection of 1/48 spare parts (Italeri Tornado, Hasegawa F-16, A-4, A-7, F-8, also from resin detail sets, and wepons from various manufacturers).

    Obviousely I gladly pay any shipping cost.

    thanks for looking.

    Best regards.

    Posted · Edited by phantomfan

    Hi all,

    I have a very old Monogram P-61 in my stash, still with the orginal Shep Paine guide inside, but infortunately, during the years and a couple of moving, I have lost one small clear part, to be precise the item #79R, it is a small clear windows panel one the rear right half of the fuselage.

    If anyone has one spare, even painted, it will be perfect.

    I gladly pay any shipping cost and I can swap with many spare pieces from various 1/48 kits (A-4, F-4, F-16, F-8, Tornado, etc) just say your needs,

    Thanks for looking.

    Regards.

    LF: A-26K Counter Invader/Nimrod 1/48 Conversion

    Posted

    Hi all,

    it's been a long time since my last post, well I am here again for some help.

    I would like to find an A-26K conversion, I know it was produced by PARAGON and Cutting Edge, unfortunately both are out of production now but I was too young when they where released :thumbsup: ...

    Here is my request, if anybody has one of the followings, I would like to buy/trade for something else:

    CUTTING EDGE 48039 A-26A (B-26K) Nimrod conversion

    PARAGON DESIGN 48101 A-26A/B-26K Counter Invader

    I know there is also an OZMod option, but I think it is not enough complete.

    Also some other detail or decals can be helpful

    Thanks for looking

    Regards.

    Evolution or Infinity

    in Tools 'n' Tips

    Posted · Edited by phantomfan

    Hello,

    I'm only a good customer of H&S/HANSA airbrushes, I don't have anything related with them.

    The first I bought was the Evolution 2 in 1 (0.2 & 0.4 neddle), with Quick Fix, it works for everything and it's very easy to clean, after 6 years of use I have not demaged anything yet... :)

    Then, when the Infinity was released, I was mainly fascinated by the design, so i had to buy another one, this time the 2 in 1 combination provide 0.15 and the 0.4 neddles.

    I suppose the 0.15 neddle is the finest available (Iwata stops at 0.18) but I personally think is superfluos for modelling tasks, because could be problems with many paints and the performace is very close to the 0.2 version.

    Recently, for touch up works I bought a Grafo T1 at a bargain price, they are "contolled double action", it only cames with 0.15 neddle and fixed 1cc cup, but is very handy because when you fix the paint flow you need just to pull the trigger till you find the good paint/air mix.

    One thing to say about all the above menthioned tools is that they have in common all the neddles/nozzles and almost every important parts, so the results are the same

    Slightly different is my last acquisition, the Hansa Top Line 281, same manufacturer and quality, same "Fixed double action" system as the Grafo, with 0.2 needle and a 2cc cup I can say it's the most versatile and easy airbrush I have ever used.

    So, if you like to give it a try, search for the Hansa Top Line series, cheaper than H&S, otherwise if you are looking for a classic double action my suggestion is to go with the EVOLUTION SILVERLINE 2 in 1 (0.2/0.4 neddle, 2&5cc cup), you can cover all your modelling needs saving some money for something else.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards.

    I have an idea about how to go outside the box with markings for aircraft that just aren't covered by any of the major or minor AM decal makers. What I'm inquiring about or (if you will) looking for is 1/48th scale tail codes in white for letters and numbers. A sheet with all the letters from A-Z and numbers small and large. This is all I need just numbers and letters.

    Looking thru my decals collection I can say for sure that I have the followings available, if needed:

    AEROMASTER 72-011 US 45° ID numbers & letters Black (good for bigger scale too)

    AEROMASTER 72-012 US 45° ID numbers & letters White (good for bigger scale too)

    I have a binder full of generic decals such as letter, numbers, insignias, etc, in many colours and dimension, they are mainly Superscale but unfortunately they don't produce such variety nowdays...

    Regards.
