    1/72 RCAF/CAF; 1939 - present
  1. Politics and colour choice aside, no media release linked here, nor any post has addresses a certain questiom .... Is this scheme restricted to Airbus '01 or will all VIP aircraft be seen in this scheme as well?" Scott FWIW; From a modelling perspective, my 72nd AIM CC-150 would really standout in those colours, assuming one can accomodate the markings... a custom sheet from CanMilAir maybe?
  2. Assuming Dave's successful with his Argus project, the notion of having 'spinoff' kits for the Britannia & Yukon (particularily the swing-tail) would certainly appeal to an increased audience, opening up the door for RAF and civilian markings. However, a common 'central' fuselage between the three kits might be a bit tricky. You'e going to have to account for all those passenger windows on the Britannia and Yukon, unless you're planning on the use of decals for the cabin windows. Compared to the Yukon and the Britannia, the Argus is just a aolid tube ... and speaking of stretching the
  3. I've read several reviews of the resin engines offered by Flightpath and have noted they've all mentioned that the resin narrower than the Italeri engines and that it's not an easy modification to do ... but they don't expand on that. While I agree they do improve the appearence of the completed model, I have a question before I spring for a couple of sets... Can someone who has actually used the Flightpath engines with one of the releases of the Italeri C-130's (or the Airfix re-boxing of the Italeri plastic) give a an accounting of what exactly is involved and in particular, how did you get
  4. This thread and Jennings drawings of P-51 wings, has sparked a related question concerning some proposed builds in the near future. It might be a crazy question, but most discussion I've read in the forums on this topic, seem to revlove around the P-51D (Mustang IV) wing. Would this 'correction' of panel lines on a P-51 wing, also apply to the earlier versions like the P-51B/C (Mustang III) or the P-51A (Mustang I)? Off-hand, I'd probably say it would, but I thought I'd try to get confromation from the more knowledgable among us. Scott
  5. I beilieve the outfit you're looking for, is WinterValley. http://www.wintervalley.com Scott
  6. As I thought... there was something different on the URL I had. In the end, after reading your post, I went to the site of my old chapter & linked to IPMS/Canada from there. I now have the online index for RT, bookmarked again. Scott
  7. While I'm no longer a member of IPMS/Canada, I still have the first 28 volumes of RT's in binders and as such, I make use of the online index on a fairly regular basis. Today (9/18/2012), when I went to my bookmarked URL for the index, I got "Not Found". Thinking that maybe the URL had changed, I accessed IPMS/Canada's main site via Google, but I soon found every link off the main page got the dreaded "Not Found". Hosting problems, maybe? Scott
  8. I don't mean to hjack the thread, but I've a question about that photo of the Wedgetail. As I look at it, I can see the starboard wing through the 'pylon' for the radar. What's it made of? Scott
  9. Take another look here: http://www.luckymode...em_no=KI-K48020 and scroll down to the bottom line of 4 sprue shots. Furtherest sprue shot to the right contains the landing gear. The main part of the nose gear is located at the bottom of the sprue - to the left of centre and it appears to be the CF-5A/NF-5A nose gear with the torque link to the rear. The aux. support for the nose gear appears to be a separate piece. Scott
  10. One could say the B.VII (I believe introduced to RAF service, post-war) was in effect, a B.X (late-war) - in appearence, anyway. Canadian B.X's started out patterned on a B.I/III, but later we discarderd the FN64 turret for a Martin turret, ala a B-24. Specifically, the change came with KB855. I quote from "Canadian Aircraft since 1909" (K.M.Molson & H.A. Taylor) - P.67: "The biggest change in Lancaster X's came about at KB855 with the introduction of the following modifications - installation of Martin 250/CE Type 23A mid-upper turret with two 0.50 Browning guns, 4,000 lb (1,816kg)bom
  11. I wholeheartedly agree, Don ... but we have a bit of a problem. I know unknown kit manufacturers are lying in 'wait', just waiting for me to build my 72nd vac-form (Murphy's Law of Modelling)... I'm waiting for them to release a 72nd kit so I don't have too.... So add to this "Heavies" list, another vote for a 1/72 Canadian CP-107 Argus Maritime Patrol Aircraft, plus a CC-115/DHC-5 Buffalo and a Brtannia (at least I could convert that to a Canadair CC-106 Yukon). Scott
  12. Up here, in Canada, I get the 3M/Bondo I'm using at Canadian Tire. When I briefly lived in Upper New York State, I was able to get the same thing at "Pep Boys" or other automotive suppy stores. Scott
  13. I've used "3M/Bondo UV Glazing & Spot Putty" exclusively, for years with no problem. No shrinkage, easy to sand & can be thinned with Testor's Liquid cement if required. Scott
  14. I stand corrected. Now you got me thinking I should be checking my Fujimi kits....... <_< Scott
