  1. It's a dilemma, all right. Watching attentively to see what solution you come up with.
  2. Personally, I'd wait for the AMUR Reaver conversion which is purported to be out in the not too distant future. HTH, D.B.
  3. John I don't recommend using this photo for anything pertaining to a production K-4. It is one of a series of photos of a prototype that had a very different cowling design. The radio hatch top edge was 90 degrees with the front and rear edges, parallel with the c/l of the a/c and the front edge was deeper than the rear giving the bottom edge a slight upward angle from front to rear. HTH D.B.
  4. Very, very nice work, Skiner! Cheers, D.B.
  5. John Yellow zinc chromate under white would be the way to go, depending if it was a factory job or field repaint from Blue Gray/Light Gray. The Navy was/is big on corrosion control. The work looks great. D.B.
  6. Decals/dry transfers(?) look really nice as do the rivets. Are those your piano hinges or the kit? Cheers, D.B.
  7. This product may be a re-bottling of something like Mr. Auto's Nano Polymer coating: https://mrautomotivestore.com/products/mr-auto-x-ocd-nano-polymer-coating Take Mr. Auto’s Smart “APPLY” microfibers with the Mr. Auto logo faced downwards and prime the microfiber with 12 sprays. Begin applying with the Mr. Auto logo faced upwards by gently wiping the microfiber slowly across section of your automobile making sure that after each panel has been coated you apply 6 more sprays onto the microfiber to ensure lubrication and the best outcome. The last and final step is to go back using a brand new “BUFF” microfiber and buff off the extra coating that has been left on the surface and that’s it! In under 5 minutes you have prolonged your cars paint for up to 1 year (This should be done every 4-6 months to get the best results and have the best glossy finish). HTH D.B.
  8. After looking at many Corsair photos, I'm not sure Tamiya was completely mistaken after all. About 50% of the shots with visible landing gear showing the pertinent area had almost fully compressed oleos and the other half didn't. Maybe it has to do with how smooth the runway surface is. Maybe Dana Bell could answer this. D.B.
  9. Wow! Beautiful fish...and large, too. With you in spirit, and a bit of envy, too. Brings to mind that old post card saying: The Scenery is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful.
  10. This kit needs some modeling skills and HP you've got 'em! Really like your approach to correcting the flaws. Hat's off to you, sir! Cheers, D.B.
  11. John It's interesting the landing gear oleos are very compressed. Must be carrying a max loadout. Surprised Tamiya slipped up on this point. Cheers, D.B
  12. The P-47G was made by Curtiss(?) and had an Interior Green cockpit as opposed to all other P-47's.
  13. Yes, unless it's going to be a P-47G.
