Hello everyone ... To prove to myself that I am certifiable. I still have the Proposed British AFV group build going. I also have the Patton Single type build in 2019. So I figured why not pour gasoline on the fire and see what happens. I must be a glutton for punishment. I am proposing another Single type group build covering the Mk.V Panther and all of its progeny. If anyone is interested please give a shout out or raise your hand so to speak. The general idea being actual vehicles no whifs. No paper tanks to me if it never left paper it should count as a whif. If a physical prototype was built and tested then it counts👍. As always all scales are welcome. Simply put I dont know everything about Panthers so please ask me or the co-host and we can research and determine if a particular version counts. 🔹Standard build rules will apply including the 25% rule. * I however understand that some of the aftermarket tracks take time to assemble. That might classify its own build ? INTERESTED MEMBERS 🔺1. Corsairfoxfouruncle - Skorzenys M10 clone 🔺2. Sgt.Squarehead = co-host 3. SimonT 4. PlaStix 5. vppelt68 6. Panther II 7. SleeperService 8.

Hello everyone ... Im not sure if this has been posted before. I was researching the Two letter tail code’s for the USAF. I came across this site. http://www.military.cz/usa/air/air_accessories/usaf_tail_cod/usaf_tail_cod.htm Maybe it will help someone looking for a specific code. They also list units assigned, as well as aircraft types assigned to the specific codes. Dennis

Ok @bootneck ... I found this one for USAF Vietnam. http://www.usaf-sig.org/Forum/index.php?topic=330.0 I’ll keep looking for more.

Could it be a connecting point for a control linkage ?

Hey everyone ... Were still looking for recruits for this. Please take a look and if you're interested, or have any questions please ask. I’ll just Bump this up to the top.

Hello all just thought id put this link to a Panther Mk.5 Tank group build that is looking for some Recruits. With the success of the M3/M4 Sherman STGB. In the fall we’ll have the Mk IV Panzer STGB. In March of next year we have the Patton tank build. Finally in the Summer/Fall of 2019 we have the Mk. VI Tiger build. I feel this is the next logical step in the progression of armor builds. If you're interested please take a look. Please ask some questions if you have any?

Good looking Mk.V I need to do one of these but the can o’ worms around the paint schemes that I've researched is whats holding me up.

Absolutely Beautiful collection ...Ive never ever seen a Monogram P-36. Ive heard about them for years but never saw one.

Very nice job on your mark 1

Excellent and Congratulations I really need to pick some of these up.

SUFF ? Ive always been told to call them SLUF ... Short little ugly fella’s. 😉 Thanks for showing the pictures as well.

... Excellent Spitfire with the Operation Jubilee markings.

Beautiful Beautiful Kiwi Corsair ... And im not just saying that because of the screen name.

⬆️ THEY SAID IT ALL FOR ME⬆️ Great work.

Excellent build ... I’l never see one of these cross my bench as Tamiya's products are a bit $ for my budget. Again Great looking Cat.

Im in 100% agreement with everyone above. The Victor is my Favorite “V” Bomber. So Im going to have a seat and

Happy that the paint worked well, and behaved with the tape.

Hmmm could be a Cigarette could be a ✌️V for victory sign ? Rob and I both use Foil though i use Microscale foil glue and kitchen foil. Ive never had a decal issue yet. I clearcoat the foil after im done and the decals adhere pretty well to the clearcoat. Here are two recent builds my F-104. My lightning from #111 squadron. As you can see decals look good. Sorry Rob if i hi-jacked your thread a little. Dennis

Hello @CraigB ... Most likely yes. Why have two different designs for the same purpose ? There are references to other aircraft using ferry tanks for long range patrol as well.

Hello @CraigB ... It just so happens that one of these B-25’s is being built. Its down in the B-25 Mitchell Group build down page. @tonyot is the gentleman building it and might know your answers.

I wasn't aware of a 2nd New South Wales in the Philippines ? 😉

I agree the best starting point would most likely be a “B”. Being that it was a converted trainer. I also believe the instrument panels were different.

I remember seeing these briefly in shops in the Chicagoland area sometime late 80’s or 1990 maybe. They were gone within a year or so. I never saw one get built and forgot about them until i joined the forum.

Hey Rob heres a good shot of a United DC-3. Clear shot of the De-icers and engine face. Ownership was listed as Iwichita

They would be bare metal. props are very sensitive to imbalance. The black was a de-icing strip. As for your colors ? How about the french national colors ? Red inside divided by white then blue.
