When the 104s were repainted in SEA camo (1967 Udorn)....did the struts and and gear bay get over sprayed or did they remain silver/ NM? Thanks Rob Colvin

Did anyone ever do an early va 35 bird? Right around 67 the big panther was painted on the tail....the kit version is awful. Thanks

Is there a corrected windscreen out there for the trumpeter 105s? I know ce did one way back but that part is no where to be found. Thanks

Off hand does anyone know if the F-104s out of Udorn in 1967 performed any missions with 2x wingtip tanks and 2x underwing tanks? My thoughts were escort of some type (B-52s)? Thanks

I know the italeri kit is better. I have this hasegawa 104 my father started before he passed a few years ago. I decided to finish her up......add part, add a seat, fix this, sand that.....see where this going lol. Here is my issue I have engraved the majority of the kit and now that I am down to the end I cannot get the panels mid fuselage near the spine to look correct. Is there a template for the panels? Open to ideas. Thanks

Adc birds... did the adc grey paint extend down the intakes like the sea wrap and euro-1 wrap aircraft? Thanks

Found the orig thread....shortened the fuselage. Now is there any brass for the guns? Thanks all!

I was wondering.....has anyone done brass barrels for the 37s, wooden prop, brass tail mg, or anything else.....wheel spats, wheels etc? Fuselage.....to long? What is the final ruling? I know compared to the airfix kit it is longer. The airfix kit is a B model and do we know for sure that airfix kit is not to short? Thanks

Perhaps i missed it.....but it seems the rear gunners fire control is missing. Not to mention. The rear "glass" appears to be more like a water bomber/ A-26k.

A cylinder short.......could explain the small looking engine cowl.

Thx

I know it has issues.....My question is does the Revell He-219 "need" the brass gear? I know the kit requires a lot of nose weight? Do the brass gear fit? Thanks Rob

While I agree with the most of the comments here the "smaller" jet aircraft would be pretty slick in 24th. They would probably sale. I would certainly buy one, however if you are going to dream...... F-4, F-8, F-100, F-104, F-101, F-106, F-102....and Yes a 105 ( i know they would be huge) but hey it cant be worse than the wing span of the 32nd Lancaster or Liberator right? F-15, F-16, F-14, F-18......The 16, 14 and 18 were produced in 1/18th ......so at least 24th would be smaller LOL. Rob

I was looking to get a few parts from Zactoman, I reached out through the zacto website email to ask about availability. I have not recieved a response...is everything ok there? 2nd GFactor brass landing gear for an Academy F-18.....where can you find them? I have looked all over. Thanks

Makes u wonder, how do u get the b fuselage correct in length and the d/g wrong?
