  1. 63318 is finished in aluminium lacquer, 53681 looks to be aluminium lacquer too, in this photo?:
  2. Hi, guys ‘n’ gals, I just read on the Warthunder Wiki that the F-104DJ didn’t have the radar fitted? Or it was removed later in it’s JASDF service? I’m planning on building a 1/48 Kinetic F-104DJ as the type appeared late in it’s career, around 1983. Of course the single seater F-104J retained the radar throughout it’s career. Thanks for any info! Cheers, Erik.
  3. Thanks guys! What color would these rebreather canisters be? The current apple-green for oxygen is a postwar regulation, right? Since the oxygen tanks in B-17 were yellow…?
  4. Hi guys n gals, Can anyone of you help me what purpose cylinders C7 in the Trumpeter SBD kits had? https://flic.kr/p/2nD7kg8 It can be found in the SBD-2 in the Museum of Naval Aviation. https://flic.kr/p/2nD12NT The empty brackets are visible in photos of the original manual on both sides of the pilots’ seat backrest. These last three photos are from The Cybermodeler site with details on the SBD. Thanks for your insights!
  5. And some photos by Fotios Rouch from the walkaround featured on cybermodeler. https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/sb2c/sb2c_walk.shtml Also SB2C-5. Huub, do you see how nuanced the kink is?
  6. Some pics I found of the teal thing, although the first three are of a SB2C-5. First one from Fiddlersgreen, middle two from Wikimedia Commons and the lower one from warfarehistorynetwork.com.
  7. Very nice work, Huub! Although it gets clearer and clearer to me that it takes way too much time and effort to bring this kit to an acceptable standard. At least to my personal taste. I’d rather invest that time and effort otherwise! But it’s nice to see your perseverance on this project! The nickname “The Beast” is well deserved in this case! cheers, Erik
  8. Thanks for your answers, guys. Pete, does BIT mean Built-In Test? I assume that under no circumstances the radar is allowed to emit on the ground / flight deck, to prevent microwaved crew chiefs / plane captains? BTW, have you learned a couple of Czech words to humor your Albatross? Have a look how it reacts when you say Dobrì Dèn when approaching it for your next flight...!
  9. Hey Jug, Exactly my thoughts. I'm hoping someone may know for sure. I'm taking the Tamiya 1/48 F-14D with me on our vacation to Austria (for a rainy day and the evenings) since it is a model that is very fit to be built OOB. I want to put the crew in, and seeing they already have their oxygen masks on, my assumption is that I need to build the kit as if during start-up procedures with the engines already running. So I "need" to know if the RIO/WSO would have the PTID powered up or not, during this phase. But I'm probably over-thinking this as I usually do. Fretting about tiny little details that don't really matter, that keep me from progressing with a model....
  10. Hi guys, The PTID (Programmable Tactical Information Display) is what I see as the radar scope of the F-14D. When an F-14D would start up on the flight deck, the radar wouldn't be powered up, of course. At least it wouldn't be radiating. Would the RIO/WSO use the PTID for other purposes at that time, or was the PTID only used for the different radar modes? Thanks in advance for your insights! Cheers, Erik.
