Working my way through the markings.

yes, Airscale, depending on what you are looking for. But they make a revised canopy with details for the Tamiya Phantoms.

F8U-3 Super Crusader in 1/24--the best Navy fighter never to go into production RF-101C Voodoo, 1/24, easily the best looking version of the Voodoo RA-5C Vigilante, 1/24, because Viggie has always been just about the most beautiful jet to ever find itself on a carrier deck I'd also go positively nuts for a 1/24 scale B-47, but that's definitely not above those three...

Hi there Jan, After a disappointing visit to your webstore and finding out the 1/32 F-16 stabilators are sold out, I was wondering if you'd possibly sell a set of the statiuc discharger bases by themselves? In theory, my plan is to use the separately available Master Models static dischargers on the kit stabilators but think that the kit provided "discharger base" parts are not designed for the Master static dischargers.

Does anyone make the above detailing set? Mike

I have the set, should be in the kit box, will get back to you by Sunday at the latest, hopefully before.

They are dead quiet and stealthy Mike. A buddy of mine Mark showing off.

Thanks for posting these photos!

Oh my! It is that time of year again. Happy Birthday.

Go ahead and to play each person must find their own nugget. Answers may only be yes , no, I agree or I disagree.

Greg, thanks for the link. Hopefully these will hit the states soon. I wonder if the older series have been discontinued? It was mentioned that they dropped 1/2 of the product line, I wonder how many of the WWII German Luftwaffe colors were dropped? I have used all of them in that series and besides RLM 66, (which IMO is not the correct color based on everything else I have seen, it's too green), they have been great to use. Update, after looking at the AK website, it looks like they are already out of most of the original paints (glass jars). Only one page comes up when you select WWII aircraft. That not a good thing, so time to stock up on them. Paul

Excellent work so far Diego! Håkan

Excellent work so far WIlliam! Håkan

Very nice work so far Iain! Håkan

Nice work Chuck, I had the same fuselage fit issues as you and it was down to the internal bulkheads being oversize causing the problem. Once I sanded them down a little the fuselage fit was very good. I'm thinking of doing the same with my wings and was wondering what the fit is like on the spar once those internal locators have been removed? Regards. Andy

Neat progress Richard. Re: canopy masking. Jen of Jenesis Designs and Modelcraft advocates self adhesive foil. This video details her process from about 15minutes. HTH

Looking good, I had to mask my canopy manually on this one, those pre cut masks make us so lazy these days don't they! Regards. Andy

Can’t live without this. ordered! Jan P

I often am!

Some decent progress tonight. The cockpit 'innards' are complete. I keep checking Hannants to see if a canopy masking set has become available for the 'early' Mk.I, but nothing has appeared yet. At this rate, I'll be forced to mask it 'manually' ..

Hi Paul, here is a little more information via YouTube:

Thanks John. I'm looking forward to any further marks they want to throw at us! A Mk.Vc would be especially welcome, mind

superb Chuck.

Thanks Jim
