jwilliamson started following British Fleet Air Arm Avenger Mk I

Hi All, I just dug out an old Accurate Miniatures Avenger I started years ago to convert to a Fleet Air Arms. I see Hobby Boss did the same 2P decal sheet I was planning. By chance does anyone have a spare set of the 2P and JZ165 markings by chance?
-
I just wanted to say thanks to John Chung for sending me some excellent pics of the unside of the wings without pylons. Thanks John. JOE
-
Hi Mozam, No I got the decals from my Local Hobby Store. However, I believe you can buy direct. I can't remember the FS number for the yellow but it is MM Insignia Yellow. JOE
-
Daco Products makes decals for this scheme (There is a link in the Manufacturers section on ARC). It is a big sheet but they look great. Thanks JOE
-
Well that's interesting. I just checked the reference site linked from Daco and saw no Wing Pylons. However EF, your pic clearly shows them. So it looks like either way is correct. Thanks JOE
-
Well that was quick. Thanks alot. JOE

Hi All, I am working on an F-16 in the 91 Tiger Meet scheme. I know there are no wing weapon stations but I cannot find a good picture of the underside of the wings. The kit has holes for the pylons. Should I just fill these and call it done? Thanks JOE

I bought a desent Campbell Hausfeld regulator at House of Tools. I can't remember how much I paid but I want to say it was around $20 CAN. JOE

I have been using MM Flat for quite some time now both with a brush and airbrush. However, I only brush it on on small parts (ex. An ejection seat to cockpit tub). If you are planning on doing say the entire exterior of a plane, I would airbrush it on. Regardless which way, I always cut it with Mineral Spirits. I eye-ball it but I would guess I use about 75% MM Flat to about 25% Mineral Spirits. I then use Mineral Spirits to clean the brush after. JOE

WOW looking great. I may have to get back to the bench and do somework on my Begium Tigermeet F-16. Oh course that is if the wife doesn't have some house projects to work on. ;) JOE

You can also get a CA Glue debonder. I bought a small bottle in a dollar store some time ago. It has worked fine to remove parts and it also works great at getting CA glue off you hands. JOE

Can't agree more. I bought a couple things off Mike and had no problems........well problems with Canada Post but not Mike. Anyway, definately a great trader. JOE

Hi All, Well I just dug up a Black Box Cockpit for the Hasegawa F-104. Now all I need is a kit to go with it. I want to an F-104 in Bavarian Markings like the one on the box of the Hasegawa 1:48th F-104 "Nato Startfighter" So now I have a couple of questions... First, does anyone made aftermarket decals for this scheme aside from what comes in the Hasegawa boxing? Second, I heard Hasegawa has released a new tooling of the F-104. Is it s big improvment over the original? Thanks JOE
-
OK it may be a dumb question but how are the designations done? How does the order work? JOE
-
Yeah I can double that with Ultracast. I bought a couple of seats for an Avenger. They come is sets of two seats. I wanted one early version and one later version for the two Avengers I will be getting around to building one day. They had not problem repackaging as per my request. JOE
