  1. Love to know where to get any crew for this beastie. Absolutely nothing close in 1/35 for IJA crew or even soldiers??? Steve,
  2. This is probably the best source on this topic Roger Boniface, MiGs Over North Vietnam: The Vietnamese People's Air Force in Combat 1965-1975 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1902109058/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=&psc=1 The color references and research are pretty good & it dispels many myths about the Kill claims from both sides. IT also has some very nice color plates & photography. HTH Steve
  3. Fruitful debate!! Huzzah! Now we will see..... So I am at the crossroad dilemma of my ESCI 1/48 Jaguar Gulf War boxing that was a no cost item. Do I wait for the Maybe 1/48 Airfix new tool, Build the Heller-Airfix when it hits th shelves this year OR_________________________________ ---QUESTION-How bad would it be to build the ESCI kit with some AM-Airwaves for the cockpit , also a pilot figure {this will be an in-flight display] , resin exhaust from Res-Kit, Master pitot set. If I button everything up will it be decent build or is the shape that horrible??? Steve,
  4. What parts are you using from the ESCI kit? I have that kit ...Gulf War boxing Steve,
  5. Just was wondering if anyone thinks perhaps the Airfix mystery release will be a new tool 1/48 Jaguar Gr.1?????????? Please. For Gulf war version for me. Any teeth to this idea?? Steve,
  6. OK Pulled the trigger on the Revell GR.4 in 1/48 It does look rather nice. Will do the Kits World decals and substitute the N for some black ones in my spares! Now to get seats or am I am going to put some blokes in there!!! This maybe a nice inflight display?? It does avoids extensive wheel well work or resin seats. ?? Steve
  7. OK I have been doing some research online and it seems to be a toss up between the Italeri and the newer tooled Revell kit. I am leaning towards the Revell kit GR.4? What is everyone's opinion on building a 1/48 Gulf War Tornado? Best kit to start?? Also Stores for the kit...Best bet??? Resin or are the Revell or Italeri passable?? Also any comments on the Kit World decals https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW148126?result-token=hmNf1 https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW148132?result-token=hmNf1 BTW_--The Hobbyboss kits seems to have too many boo-boos to fix and not worth comparison?? Steve,
  8. YES a new tool Jaguar is well needed! It seems ALL 1/48 kits of the Jag have issues and problems. The Kittyhawk kit suppose to be the best BUT with many caveats--modular tooling with difficult fit, some inaccurate elements-problems if one wants a very accurate GR.1 -Gulf war. The Old ESCI kit is lambasted BUT I have one. IT is a basic kit and fits well...with a few inaccuracies. IT has raided panel lines but I kinda like it ..IT can be built into something decent--albeit not the most accurate. The Airfix-Heller is good I suppose--with a few fit issues and needs detail and upgrade sets..... SO it really is a matter of what is important when getting this kit in 1/48. A new tooled 1/48 Jaguar series FROM Kinetic would be much welcomed!! Steve,
  9. Kittyhawk Kit s are available again Under Zimi Kittyhawk.... Mostly 1/32 So you can get a F-86D from Sprue Brotehrs: https://spruebrothers.com/zimkh32007-1-32-zimi-model-kitty-hawk-f-86d-sabre-dog/ HTH Steve
  10. Very nice impressive model adn size! Hope my little Bandai comes out as good. Would like a nice kit of Sky-1 too?? Steve,
  11. Gorgeous build Love the scratch work PM on the decals Steve
  12. Top notch gorgeous work on the weathering! Steve
