Henry 1951

That is off to a great start.

My pleasure, Anthony. Always glad to share how things are done. We should be able to help each other right? Cheers, Henry.

Hi Anthony. Thank you. For the yellow and red on the radio I used Tamiya XF-3 yellow and XF-7 red. The blue is Gunze aqueous H25 sky blue. And to make the black knobs stand out a little from the matt black of the main body I use Taniya X18 semi-gloss black. Cheers, Henry

Anthony, thank you. I think there are a few thing I will need help with. Much appreciated, mate.

Instrument panel for the Mossie is done. Combination of kit, Yahu and stencils from Barracuda. First radio receiver painted. More to come. Thanks for looking.

Kevin, glad to be participating in my first GB here. And thanks for the help in sorting the photo issue out.

I can join in on this one. My first LSP GB. Tamiya Mosquito. Some extras. HGW seatbelts, Eduard masks. Yahu instrument panel. Barracuda cockpit stencils and external decals as well as gun feed belts. Aviaeology decals. Will do either Hairless Joe or Black Rufe from 418 Sqn. RCAF.

Howdy!! I have you covered!! Henry

Nice to hear Jennings!!

Thanks. Title says it all.

In the links Kevin supplied the last one had the info I was looking for. Thanks again Kevin. Love the help I receive here. Henry

Thank you, Kevin!

I can't seem to find it. It was someone mentioning how the kit is part A model and B model P-61 and what to do to go either way. Thanks.

For those who have built the kit. I have heard there is an issue with the wings not being level if both wings are extended? A issue of the kit or the builder? Thanks. Hank

I have a SuperScale decal in 1/32 and was wonder which kit to use for the F-16C ADF and an F-16C-42 Night Falcon. Thanks.

I would like to thank everyone for their input on this subject.

Jennings, thanks. I use that color for my late P-47s. I guess I will use that. Thanks again.

The kit instructions say FS 34097 field green. This sound about right Dana? Thanks.

Thanks again Bill. Looks like we have an EDO float. Now I need to sort out whose paint to use for the green interior.

Thanks Bill for that info. I did not know there was a change in float design. So I am assuming that the kit is the later EDO floats then? How do I tell?

Dean, I agree. It's just a matter of what paints out of the bottle or mix to use. I am leaning toward the Tamiya XF-61 myself.

Thanks Dana and Growler. I appreciate the responses. Now, what to use for the dark dull green. Online I have seen people recommend ModelMaster Euro Green and Tamiya XF-61. And the colors are as different as night and day. The Euro Green I use for my P-47s. I am thinking of the Tamiya color for the Kingfisher? Or any other recommendations? Thanks again.

Thanks, Theo. I kinda thought that it would be.

I have the KH Kingfisher on the way from Sprue Brothers. I have a question. On the pre-war ones which have the yellow wings and aluminum fuselage. Is the interior painted green, aluminum or a clear coat for corrosion control or not painted at all. Thanks for any help. Henry

I did it. I pulled the trigger and ordered one too.
