  1. I am looking for a decal set for the 1/48 FJ-2 Fury.I think it might have been Superscale 48-117.It was for the two all blue prototypes with the big"754" or "755" on the nose.

    Steve

    Hi Steve,

    if you may be interested, I have 2 sheets for the Fury:

    SUPERSCALE 48-116 NAVY FJ-3M Fury VF-125, VF-173

    SUPERSCALE 48-129 USMC FJ-2/3 Fury VMF-235, VMF-312

    Please let me know.

    All the best.

  2. Hi all,

    a couple of years ago I bought form Lucky Models the decal sheet and weapon parts from the Academy F-16, they sold them individually.

    Now I need a copy of the instruction sheet and, as I said, I need just the camouflage pages and the weapon building sequences, anybody have a copy and could send me a scan??? :woot.gif:

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Best regards.

  3. Hi Dave,

    probably you are right, but I do not remember clearly the "piece". :thumbsup:

    Anyway, the one I saw these week end here in a local shop is absolutely a correct MB IQ-7 kit, it's this one:

    All the best.

    Hi Marco,

    What I saw put out by both TAC Scale and later reissued by CAM was a seat that they claimed was the MB seat for the F-104, but it was actually a GQ-5, which was not used by the Starfighter and had a different parachute pack from the -7. I've got the seat in the original TAC Scale packaging and it is not a GQ-7. I've never seen a correct GQ-7 in either a TAC Scale or CAM boxing.

    Dave

  4. Hi,

    the MB GQ-7 was produced by TAC Scale Dynamics then by CAM, it was the German version.

    In a local hobby shop here in Rome, Italy, I saw the IQ-7 version made by a small manufacturer, but I don't remeber the name. Do you need some???

    All the best.

    Marco

    We really, really need a 1/32 GQ/IQ-7 seat for the F-104. The CAM GQ-5 doesn't count because it's not right for the F-104 and you can't just use a Mk.7 F-4 seat. Surprised no one in all these years have done this seat, or a Starfighter cockpit set with the seat. All that's out there has the Lockheed seat. The only MB seats I've seen are in the C&H TF-104 conversion, and it's not worth buying the entire conversion just for the seats.

    Who's up for it? Harold?

    Anyone?

  5. Hi Skuky,

    how many of them do you need??? :o

    I work in Rivolto, home base of the Frecce Tricolori, and a couple of hobby shops in the neighbourhoods still carry the kit, the "ALPHA" version with this decal option.

    It costs something about €30, may be less, just contact me if you need any kind of help.

    Best regards.

    :salute:

  6. Hi Mark,

    I have a link that can help you: http://aaahobby.com/

    They still have some Superscale 1/114 sheets, I got mine a couple of weeks ago.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards.

    Hi guys,

    I'm not normally an aircraft builder but have recently really taken to 1/144 scale military jets.

    I've done some searching for after-market decals available in this scale, but so far haven't come up with a single one! It may be my lack on knowledge for the genre - or perhaps it's not so popular a scale.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to any 1/144 after-market decals for military jets?

    Cheers all,

    Mark

  7. Hi guys,

    when KMC released those sets I was to young to be interested, mainly I was not skilled enough to use resin part, to place orders on the net but also because I still hadn't enough money to spend in modelling stuff... :worship:

    Anyway, I'm interested to know what those sets provided and if they are really necessary on the Hasegawa Phantom kits.

    Thanks for looking.

    Regards.

    Marco

    :cheers:

  8. Does anyone have a conversion bit to do the later engine for the Mirage (Atar 9D?) that reshapped the rear end of Israeli Mirage IIICJs? I am not sure if either the HB or Eduard has the alternate rear fuselage part OOB, but with my current interest being peaked by both the HB and the Weekend Editions being released in the next month or so and I'd like to do an IDF one with the ID triangels and from what I have read you cannot do that one with the parts in the box.

    Matt

    Hi Matt,

    try EBay, search for Mirage III 1/48, I saw a resin ATAR engine home made produced, IIRC from a german Guy.

    Seems good to me, may be helpful for you.

    All the best.

  9. Hi all,

    I'm lucky enough to have a friend that left airplanes for armour modelling, so today he donated me few things he won't use anymore.

    Unfortunately some of them are without instruction sheets, get lost them during the years, so here is the list of the copies I need:

    EDUARD 48-048 F/A-18 Hornet

    XTRADECAL 005-48 USAFE F-4G & F-16C

    SUPERSCALE 48-147 F-4D & F-4E

    SUPERSCALE 48-196 F-4E & F-4C

    SUPERSCALE 48-246 F-18 Hornet Low Viz Stencils

    SUPERSCALE 48-253 F-4C/D ANG

    SUPERSCALE 48-386 F-16A Falcons

    Scans will be perfect, I need just black & white files for the printer.

    Any help will be very appeciated, thanks for looking.

    Best regards.

    Marco

  10. Hi,

    I now their decals are very nice, unfortunately I won't be at home until half of September, so I can't place any picture of the Mirage IV scribing set now, but I think this can help:

    http://www.shopcreator.com/mall/productpag.../SCR48001/83379

    I wasn't able to buy any Ouragan set, they are in France, but no chanche to get in touch either by mail or by fax.

    I remember they have a shop called Model25, never received any reply, so I gave up.

    All the best.

    Marco

  11. You can use the Monogram or Hobbycraft 1/48 A-4 fuel tanks, they look closer to the 400 gal size to me.

    Regards.

    Marco

    :yahoo:

    .. does anyone out there make a 1/48 400 gal. fuel tank for the Skyhawk? I know Cutting Edge did but they're out. The kit tanks are 300 gal. and I'm building a A-4KU which used 400 gal tanks.
  12. Hi all guys,

    it's possible to convert the Revell/Pro Modeler A-26B into an A-26K Counter Invader???

    I read somewhere that is better to start from the Original Monogram A-26C, with glass nose, that's true???

    Thanks for looking.

    Regards.

    Marco

    :)

  13. I don't have any info on Reheat punch sets, but I did read in one of the forums about an inexpensive alternative to the Waldron sets. I can't remember the name, but they're sold at model railroad shops for about half the price of Waldron. Hope that's some help. Good Luck.

    Thanks, I'll try to find something on line.

    Regards.

    Marco :sign_boycott:

  14. Hi all guys,

    some years ago I bought the Reheat punch & die set, unfortunately, during my house improvment works, I lost one of the punch, the bigger, 3 mm in diameter, so I have an incomplete set now... :worship:

    Anyone has an idea on the way I can replace that, I think is almost impossible to find another one as direct replacement, Reheat is no longer on bussiness... :thumbsup:

    Any help is very apreciated.

    Thanks for looking.

    Regards.

    Marco
