  1. I looks like (from the Trumpy site anyway) - the upper nose forward of the exhaust is too rounded on top where it meets spinner backplate? Looking at scale plans of the Merlin engined F/L - it is more flat where it meets the spinner - Can you please verify? Thanks, Barry Williams
  2. Hello, I was wanting to know IF one could model the longer fuselage US Navy F2A-3 using the Finnish "Taivaan Helmi of Finland" Model 239 version of the kit, just by adding aftermarket decals. From what I've learned - I can as that version has the spare extended fuselage & engine cowls.
  3. Thanks to both reconspit & MikeMaben !
  4. Hello All - As the few of us that need a 1/32 F2A-3 to fill a void in their respective stash are aware -the Czech Models F2A-3 release has become wallet unfriendly & SCARCE ! Can anyone tell me if you can make a Brewster F2A-3 from the Special Hobby Brewster Model 239 Buffalo "Taivaan Helmi over Finland" version? I have the Special Hobby 1/32 Brewster 339E - it only has the short fuselage & no alternative fuselage or nose extensions on the 239 version, from what I've seen of the sprue trees online. It looks like all the alternate parts are there to make a later Navy bird, just need confirmation. Thanks in Advance - Barry
  5. Thanks Max those pics will get me started !
  6. Thanks Wouter, I'm wanting to super-detail the DB 601N, the detail material available for the DB 605 seems to be more readily obtainable. The HpH 1/18 DB605 is stunning, but from my available reference material, the plumbing & wiring looks completely different ? I have good photos of the DB601 used in early Bf109E series, just not clear pictures of it mounted on a Bf110 opened up to show detail. Maybe Kagero will do a "3D Special" on the Bf110 like they produced for the Bf109F with the CAD drawings showing how its plumbed & wired ! Thanks Again, Barry
  7. Looking for pics for the wiring & plumbing details on a DB 601N on a BF110D. All the pics in my reference material are vague or inconclusive OR shown on engine rack unplumbed. With the excellent detail given, its a shame NOT to show it off ! Maybe Pastor John can weigh in on this ? Thanks in Advance !
  8. Thanks for all the input, It least I know I'M NOT the only soul pining for one....I mean how many more Mustangs or 109's do we have to endure? Not that I don't have 10-12 of THOSE in my stash right now!
  9. Just wondering if anybody has heard any rumors or musings concerning new tool Bf110F/G kit in the near future? I can't believe I'm the only one pining for a modern tooled version of this?? Even a new tool Me210/410 would suffice, by any kit maker other than the short run HPH version!
  10. I may have missed a future release notice...but I'd like to see Dragon/CyberHobby continue the Bf110 line - to include the F & G... & possibly do the Me210/410 series, also Revell to add a Ju88G & possibly the Ju188 series...but maybe that's just too much wishful thinking?
  11. As I'm no Mustang "expert" - nor a rivet counter, most of the labeled -C Model's that I've come across in my reference material seem to be F-6C TAC Recon Mustangs flying in Europe. but all seem to have that dorsal strake/fillet. Capt. Beerbower's Bonnie "B" II was a P-51B-1NA and I'm guessing it was retrofitted at depot level with the tail fillet? ( possibly soon after the Malcolm hood was added ?) -- Barry
  12. Thanks for the suggestions - I'm thinking that using my " Mk 1A Eyeball " & plastic card stock will be best course. -- Barry
  13. Hello, I'm doing Cpt. Don Beerbowers P-51B-1-NA " BONNIE "B" II " 353rd FS/354th FG in 1/32 - using the Trumpeter P-51B Kit Does anyone have a source or helpful suggestions for the tail fillet on late model P-51B's & C models ? I even thought of "grafting" the rear tail fillet assembly from the spare clear P-51D Fuselage in my other Trumpeter kit, but noticed looking at available online images & my available reference material they are different. Any help would be much appreciated - Barry
