I'm hoping Arma will do the early Lightnings justice as well. Not going to hold my breath for Tamiya.

Any pics? That would be interesting to see!

They're already included on the Roden RC-135, but if you're referring for use on other things, then yes. Contact him and request it.

Unless RS worked out a deal to include the Quickboost pieces?... I doubt they'd tool up to fix that part. Would be nice though if Academy would finish out their P-38 and fix those anyway, as some parts of their kit suggest they had planned to do the earlier versions and never have.

If you're in need of the SATCOM antenna bulge, seen on top of current US and UK RC-135's, the C-32 and many airliners, Click2Detail has just added them to his page... https://www.click2detail.net/store/p169/1%3A72_Ka-band_Satcom_Antennas_(Set_of_2).html

Would sure be nice to know more certain specifics about the NVAF Mig-19 colors... as I recall in the Squadron Book "And Kill Migs," one of the U.S. pilots reported seeing an "aquamarine blue/green" one on one of their ops. Makes one wonder if this was one of the standard Eastern Bloc underside blues that was carried up onto the top surfaces also?

Late to the party here, but looks like one is being restored in her honor and they have this to say about it: https://savingamy.net/v3540/

Can get this from Shapeways to do the Lim-6bis https://www.shapeways.com/product/T7UXGLV6K/lim-6-brake-chute?optionId=314299096&li=marketplace I have one stashed with my kit and access to an original Lim-6bis in my local air museum that I've compared it with... the piece seems it'll be just the trick needed, whenever I get around to my build. The MARS pods/pylons are offered too... https://www.shapeways.com/product/9HJAZY3M3/mars-2-rocket-pods-and-pylons-for-lim-6-mig-17?optionId=314247819&li=marketplace

Good AS-30's can be found here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/355053364199?hash=item52aad463e7:g:4ksAAOSwgTFkuiiJ

As long as they do different markings options than the normal run-of-the-mill -51's, I could see picking up a few. Crossing fingers that SOMEBODY will finally do Elwyn Righetti's 55th FG "Katydid" 🙏

Awesome family story there! 👍

Can't rush perfection. This is why we love Arma! 😉

Yeah, would be nice if these could be obtained outside of the country of origin, as it does look nice!

Liking the scratch detail, keep up the good work.

Great looking model! 👍 Wish the warbird restorers would build a flying replica (or a few) of these... would be neat to see fly again!
