I had a complete conversion with the Italeri kit. The DB nose fit perfectly. After acquiring the Zvesda kit I decided I would strip the original and use the parts on it, It will take some surgery and a little putty to get it to fit but I think the Zves will produce a much better outcome. Dave Buttress created it for the Italeri kit, so you'll have few problems fitting it Da SWO! Hope this helps, guys! DET1460

SOVA-M #14013 1/144 B-57E & CIM-10A BOMARC - In Box Review
DET1460 replied to Dutch's topic in Jet Modeling
Just a slight correction to the kit. It's actually a 'B' model '57. All the 'E' serials were 55-4XXX. (34XXX on the tail) Not a big deal, just thought those interested in the kit would like to know. DET1460 -

Hajo L Still trying to get the DB nose on the Zvesda Herc. That's going to be the hardest part of the conversion.. I'm finishing a Mach @ RB-57F right now and I have other projects in line, but I like the Zvesda kit very much. I wasn't a Herc mechanic overseas... I crewed the Patricia Lynn RB-57E's at Tan Son Nhut but we had lots of Hercs there. Saw one MC-130E CT Blackbird. The camou alone made a very impressive sight! Took a while to find someone who knew what it was! I'm sorry I took so long getting back to you! Been away from the PC for a while! Best regards,

Saw lots of camou'd Hercs during my time in SEA. But I really like the gloss grey variants with full color markings. Nice job with a very difficult kit. I'm in a SLOW process of converting a Zvezda C-130H into an MC-130E. Awesome job! DET1460

Nice job. The camou reminds me of the later Air Guard greys. DET1460

Very nice '23. I like the finish and weathering very much. DET1460

It's my understanding that Russian paint shops get drums of white paint and black paint and they simply mix the two (I assume they have a recipe) until the paint looks right. I built the Trump SU-24 that way. I liked the result... JMHO DET1460

Like I said... LOVE the big Boeings! And you keep doing them so well! Regards DET1460 -
But you do get the BRU's. Hasy was trying to sell their Weapon sets in those days. Almost all their kits came with very basic 'things under wings'. I shouda mentioned that... Thanks Dutch! DET1460

Rare to see a Rhino looking so good in that environment. Just from the paint shop or just in from the States. "Ain't that perdy!" DET1460
