< devils_advocate > So if I take the time to put together a blog about a build... or put together a sequential photo album full of comments about a build... and then post the link here so that interested parties can get some help on a similar subject... I will get blasted for posting a link? If I took the time to write & post something in one place, I'll be damned if I am going to re-write it in a dozen different forums. For those who like to stay in only one place... like ARC... for all their information & entertainment, the only person losing out is YO

I would like to build 1/72 NB-52B "Balls Eight" mothership with an HL-10 (lifting body) under the wing. Here are the kits that I plan to use: Italeri #1378: 1/72 B-52G Stratofortress Anigrand Craftswork #7214: 1/72 Northrop HL-10 Lifting Body Are there any threads that deal with the mods to convert a B-52G to the NB-52B mothership? Any conversion sets? And is there a pre-made mounting pylon available (for mounting the HL-10 on the B-52), or halfway decent plans available? I am not looking to uber-detail the B-52; as long as it fairly

Hi Jari, The loadout I am planning is "the usual" with 12x SBC (30-lb IB) + 4000-lb cookie. So scratchbuilding all that would be very time consuming. I created the plans to make the 30-lb IB in 1:72 scale. Was hoping that maybe someone would create a new set of SBC with 30-lb installed... I'd buy that fer shur! 30-lb_IB_design.pdf

To follow up... does anyone offer 1/72 SBC (regular size) with 30lb IB ? I can get SBC with 4lb incendiary from Belcher Bits & Airfix resupply set... but that's not what I am looking for. Even separate 30lb IB would be okay... though I would need a lot of them! :D
-
Jari, thank you VERY much for this information... it is exactly what I needed. With best regards, Glenn

I am looking for pictures that show an SBC with the 30lb incendiaries installed... what did each bomb look like, dimensions, etc. Need to see how 30lb'ers were side-by-side, how many front-to-back, etc Sources say that an SBC carried 24x 30lb incendiaries... is that correct? I have the Belcher Bits SBC set but they have the thin 4lb incendiaries installed (15 per row, 6 deep)... but I need to convert these to have 30lb bombs instead.

RAF pathfinders paired with 106 bombers
GlennCauley replied to GlennCauley's topic in Research Corner
In the HK Models 1/32 Mosquito (B Mk.IV) kit, they include decals for No.627 Sqn. DZ637 / AZ-X However, the instructions indicate that this plane had bulged bomb bay doors (for a cookie). The paint scheme of this plane also shows invasion strips on the bottom. If 627 sqn was a pathfinder squadron, would it really have had: a) bulged bomb bay B) invasion strips ? -
Thank you very much, Mike! :D This helps a lot...

I am starting a "blitz build" tomorrow (15-July-2016) on a 1:48 CF-100 Mk. IV (Hobbyboss kit) and decals from Canuck Models (023-48) I will build it as a 445 sq. RCAF in NMF (natural metal finish) but the instructions are lacking about most colours. So... I need to know what colours to use for the following: INSIDE: Cockpit, seats Landing gear Wheel wells OUTSIDE: What colours to use for NMF, on what parts? (I am likely to use Alclad.) Sorry for the short notice... but I need to know today/tomorrow (14/15).

CF-188 s/n's & loadouts for Operation Mobile
GlennCauley replied to GlennCauley's topic in Jet Modeling
I asked Eduard what PE sets would work with the Academy #12107, but apparently they do not have anything to match, nor are planning to make anything. Does anyone have ideas what detail sets would work on this kit? -
I plan to build a 1/32 CF-188 that was involved in Operation Mobile (Libya 2011). The base kit is Academy #12107 USMC F/A-18A+, along with Wolfpack upgrade set, and Canuck Models decals. I would like to find out the following for CF-188 aircraft used in OM: serial number (for decaling) pilot name & callsign (for decaling) weapons loadout w/ station number (for accuracy)... would like a loadout that includes the Sniper XR targeting pod on the fuselage station (because it's cool). I have already asked DND for this information, but they will not give that information "for reaso

Metal barrel for 1:48 Apache M230 chain gun
GlennCauley replied to GlennCauley's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Thanks for the help, Floyd! I only get information from doing Google searches on the interweb thingy. However, if anyone has access to detailed schematics, specs, and dimensions... or access to a real M230 chaingun... PLEASE provide the information to Master (and let us know here). -
Metal barrel for 1:48 Apache M230 chain gun
GlennCauley replied to GlennCauley's topic in Helicopter Modeling
May we again start asking Master to create some M230 chaingun barrels in different scale (incl. 1/48). They had them on schedule in 2014, then without explanation they cancelled. These will be forgotten about by everyone unless we keep asking... so please ask! -
I am seeking 1/32 scale nuclear weapons carried by CF-104 Starfighters : BDU-8/B practice bomb B43 B57 B28EX B28RE (and pylons, too, if possible) I have already inquired with Belcher Bits about a 1/32 set (similar to their 1/48 set BB14) but they do not offer that (nor do they plan to make it).

GlennCauley replied to GlennCauley's topic in Research Corner
Thank you, everyone, SO MUCH!!! :D Does anyone know of available decals for 627 sq. pathfinder Mosquitoes, in 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32 scale?
