  1. Have you decided the price of this kit? Really looking forward to it. (-: Roy
  2. Hi I'm going to Paris for a couple of days next weeks. Can you recommend a good hobbyshop (and maybe a good bookshop as well) :-). (-: Roy
  3. Hi @Radub Considering your information, is it safe to conclude that this backrest was mandatory equipment in ALL G's and K's, regardless of manufacturer? If so, it's a pity that it has been omitted both by Hasegawa and Revell. Trumpeter has their own interpretation, which is not correct. (-: Roy
  4. Thank you, Mike and Antonio
  5. I asked Microsoft Copilot the following question: "Why has the back of the seat of the Messerschmitt Bf-109G sometimes a triangular support plate at the top of the seatback?" Here's the answer: "The triangular support plate at the top of the seatback in some Messerschmitt Bf-109G models was added to provide additional structural support and stability. This feature was not present in all Bf-109G variants, as it depended on the specific production batch and modifications made during the aircraft's service life. The support plate helped to reinforce the seat, especially under the high-stress conditions experienced during combat maneuvers. It was a practical solution to enhance the durability and safety of the pilot's seat." Comments anyone?
  6. The Revell kits of the Bf-109G and Hasegawa kits of Bf-109G/K all have a plain back of the seat. The Aires cockpit sets for Hasegawa kits and the Barracuda replacement seats for Revell all have a triangular part (support) at the top of the back of the seat. Which a/c had and which didn't? Does anyone have some information of why the difference and when it's appropriate to have the plain back and when to have the one with the triangle at the top? BR-32223 Bf-109G-2 Thru G-10 Seat - No Belts - 1/32 – Barracuda Studios Hoping for some info on this. (-: Roy
  7. Tornado F.3 Conversion
  8. Conversion for Spitfire Mk VII (Tamiya or Revell). Roy Sutherland did this conversion in the first edition of the Tamiya book "How to Build Tamiya's 1:32 Spitfire Mk. IX" Tamiya's 1:32 Spitfire Mk.IXc by Brett Green | Book
  9. I'm in love . This is fantastic, Peter (-: Roy
  10. Could't agree more
  11. And cockpit interior and a seat, please (-: Roy
  12. Thank you, Dennis for valuable information and pictures
  13. Does anyone know the markings and colours of Joseph Peterburs’ P-51 Mustang when he downed Walter Schuck's ME-262 on 10th April 1945? Any pictures/decals available? If I ask Microsoft's Copilot (AI) it says: "Joseph Peterburs’ P-51 Mustang, when he shot down Walter Schuck’s Me 262 on April 10, 1945, was marked with the code “CY-G” and had the serial number 44-15650. His aircraft was part of the 55th Fighter Squadron, 20th Fighter Group". But is this correct? CY-G is "The Millie G" with a different serial. I know about his plane 'Josephine' (44-15078) KI-B, but was that the plane he flew when he shot down the ME-262 of Walter Schuck? Hoping for a clarifying answer and some pictures ;-) PS! I know the colours and markings for 'Josephine' (-: Roy
