  1. did you ever get any Korean decals for your build. I have just come across 2 MicroScale sheets in my stash; 32-21 & 32-22. PM me if you are still looking Tony
  2. as previously mentioned; Ultracast. their range of products and their service is excellent Tony
  3. All depends on your decals that you get. Chopping off the 12" extension on the wing tips only gets you a Canadair Sabre 6 wing, you then have the option of glueing the slats closed and adding a wing fence for a 6-3 hard edge wing, or slice out a section of the wing chord to backdate it to the short chord slatted wing of the 'A','E', & early 'F'. Cheers, Tony
  4. Chuck, that is the correct roundel, as it is the interim leaf used during the RCAF time. That '104 was restored with meticulous attention to detail. Tony
  5. NA built and Canadair built rear turtle deck areas were identical. It's not a hydraulic piston behind the seat, it is a explosive canopy remover. The canopy is electrically driven. Tony
  6. The flying 'Hawk One' Sabre 23314, had the tanks on the inboard of the two later positions, as their was problems with the plumbing of the outer hard points. Hawk One's tanks were on Sta 72.25 of a Mitsubishi F-86F-40 wing. Tony
  7. a Canadair hard point position was on Sta 99.5, same position as the North American wing. The positions were moved outboard after F-86F 51-13170, the placement all the kit makers have decided to depict. Cheers, Tony
  8. Chuck, Gary Watson of the Calgary museum has put up on Facebook, a series of detail photos in a 'CF104 builders' page. Tony
  9. The fact that it has no Fokker streaking standard camoflage as evidence is just as compelling as Goering's all-white DVII; Did you see this view in your search; edit; bloody PhotoBucket, messing up my image
  10. Photos of Gonterman’s crash show no bleed through in the wing fabric. This nailing and bleed through are two distinct unrelated matters. Tony
  11. I found a reference for nailing the wing fabric, it is page 149 of the Leaman book. I stand corrected. Tony
  12. Photos of Gonterman’s 115/17 crash show the inside cockpit fabric— no streaking bleed through. Photos of Pastor’s 121/17 crash show lots of ripped fabric with not an ounce of bleed through. Also, the photo of Voss in the triplane with a headrest, shows some cockpit fabric interior and no bleed through is evident Tony
  13. can you give us a reference for this ??? Tony
