Sabrejet

Mine's not on the way. I didn't order one but it looks nice. Just thought I'd post some white noise to a thread which is mainly white noise.

...and a DH.6, Martinsyde Elephant and a Vickers Bullet in 1/24 :)...

ScaleWorx?

Kagemusha's post "link" takes me straight to the "1 1/2-Strutter two seat fighter Roden 365" page.

I never understood people getting sniffy about '"warbirds" being modified into racers. For the first part many of them had seen no service and would otherwise have gone to the smelter. More importantly we'd never have seen such awesome machinery as Anson Johnson's P-51, Galloping Ghost/Miss Candace/Jeannie, Roto-Finish Special/Red Baron, the Pond Racer, Rare Bear, Precious Metal, Dreadnought and many, many more. I do hope that the Unlimiteds will find a home somewhere, but times change. I hope the key survivors make it into museums and don't get butchered into faux "warbirds".

Thanks. I was hoping I had the after-action report but it looks not. The FEAF and Group records at that time have a lot of info on MiG markings.

If anyone could post details of the date etc, I'd be interested. These videos are unavailable in UK.

Do we know the date of this engagement? I cannot view the video.

Thanks for posting the pics: it looks like an awesome kit

Additionally, Sopwith Type 9400 or Sopwith Type 9700 (RNAS) or Sopwith Two-Seater (2-Str) for the RFC. It was also, IIRC, the first aircraft to have a dedicated bomb bay with bomb doors.

You know when you say "General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon"? Well saying "Strutter" is like saying "Falcon" Or "General Dynamics Falcon" Or "F-16 Falcon". It's not a "Sopwith 1-1/2". The "1-1/2" bit isn't a type number: it's part of the "Strutter" bit. Not pedantic, just correct.

Rigging is only daunting until you do it. There is a lot of stuff around these days to make life easier (especially rigging line material) and it can be really relaxing.

Nice to see: a 1 1/2-Strutter is cool but the '504 should be a real winner!

Tim or the one who heard a who?

Read the thread...

I'd suggest HPH L-39 and B-52 as a start: both superlative.

Time to look at the resin maybe?

I thought it was answered pages ago but can't find it now: what are the subsequent pages doing? It looks like a random name generator.

I'm getting regular updates on my X-3 (I'm OK to wait) and will be on the FH-1 list. The store isn't like a conventional 'click and buy' store - you'll get a notification that the next one is available for pre-order and then you can apply. Back to the question: has anyone received the Learjet kit yet and would they be able to post photos?

Has anyone actually received one yet? It would be nice to see the resin.

"60344" is a Navion A (civil version), masquerading as a military L-17. The L-17 was too late to see service in WW2 but several did serve in Korea. I'm a fan, even if they are few-and-far-between on this side of the pond.

Wouldn't that rather miss the point?

So glad to see this: if there is one type which is majorly under-represented in kit form, it's the P-51.

If true then I'm impressed. I really appreciate the due deference to our heritage.

I did wonder.
