Grizly, When I was researching my build (which I haven't gotten to yet), I posted a similar question. The answer was that all F6's and FT6's delivered to Pakistan, were fitted with the MB Mk 10PKD ( which is similar to the Mk10L) and "westernized avionics". The 4+ book on the Mig-19 has two fairly good pictures of a Pakastani F6 (page 18 and 19) clearly showing an identical headrest to the pic I posted above. I think the main reason people get confused over the seat is that there are several versions of the MB Mk 10. I hope this helps and doesn't confuse anyone further. Sincerely, David Harold I will definately order a few of the seats if you make them.

The cockpit is coming along. The only real problem is that I have to build a little, paint a little, then build a little more, then paint a little more. Now that the tub is in I can start on the shroud. Wiring behind the seat will be added in final assembly, right before the canopy goes on.

Attached to the kit. I think it really improves the look of the kit, That is just my opinion though. The way I tried to cast it means I had a lot of air bubbles around the base. The thing actually fits better then the pic makes it look.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Family things have not allowed me to work on my Mig but hopefully I should be able to get cranking on it now. I am hoping to have it done for JaxCon at the end of February. On to the build, first up the nose. Revell's nosecone is way outa shape. I blew up the plans in the 4+ book and compared them to pics in other books as well as the internet. I carved a new nose out of a solid piece of wood and cast it for some local modeling buddies. You can see the difference between "my" nose and Revells.

You had me at CF-18. I'll watch it! Capt. Erickson isn't to hard on the eyes either! David

The PAF flew the Mig-19/F-6 with the Mk10 seat as in the Hawk. When I was building mine someone was kind enough to send me these pics of the Hawk seat. I have more but everyone may not be interested. PM me and I'll send you the rest, if you want. BTW I have that PWMP sheet. I can probably spare that F6 with the checkerboards. Gawdy schemes don't interest me. Sincerely, David

Well....... which one did you see on TV? Not knowing that, there is lots of aftermarket for a regular (slick) CH-47D. if it was a MH-47, like this one http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/michael_block/mh-47g_soa/ well then no, unfortunately. Cobra Company: http://cobracompany.com/35022.htm http://cobracompany.com/35024.htm http://cobracompany.com/35025.htm And then there is a BIG ED set by Eduard http://www.eduard.cz and then do a search for 35th CH-47D. Sincerely, David

One more: Well that pretty much brings me up to date. Off to the bench. Thanks for looking. Sincerely, David

This is the pic to go with above:

Now for the meat of it. The Revell kit's nacelles and Nozzles are WAY undersized. So out comes the saw. I don't know how to draw lines on my pics yet, so I'll try to explain this. I cut the Trump nacelles out, using the inner aspect as a guide. I cut far enough forward so that I got the wheel wells too. I used the Revell forward intakes (they are seperate) but had to use a middle piece out of the Trumpeter intakes. Does that make sense? Once you've done that, simply cut the offending nacelles off the Revell kit, glue the modified Trump intakes on and start SANDING!!! When all is said and done, I think its a vast improvement over the original Revell intakes.

One more. This sidewall is a little bare at the moment. I'll work on that today

Another of the IP. The hud was slightly crooked, it has since been tweaked.
