Thanks, J.

Thank you, James.

Hi James. Thank you very much. Would you happen to know if it is the same for Spitfire FR.XVIII? Cheers Christian

Hello, dear fellow modelers. I have been searching in vain for conclusive information about vertical cameras on Seafire FR.XVII. I have not even managed to find a picture. Did the FR.XVII have one or two vertical camera windows? Your assistance is appreciated, as always. Cheers Christian

Hi Jonners. Thank you very much for your offer. I would like to get back to you, when the project is ready. I do feel rather humble. however, showing my completed model in this distinguished company. Cheers Christian

Thanks, Troy. You may certainly have a point about Eduard releasing a Mk. VI at some point. Unfortunately the uncontrollable part of my brain has decided that I need it NOW! 😆 Thank yoy very much, Broadway. It is on the way to DK now.

Thank you very much, Tim. It's a great help. Thanks for your kind offer, Welkin. However, I am rather hooked on the Eduard option. Excellent advice, Tomas. Thank you very much. I have googled and googled but without result. Could it be that this particular magazine has not yet been published? Thanks for all your help Christian

Hi folks. I am toying with the idea of mating the Eduard Tempest Mk II wings with the fuselage of the Eduard Mk. V. My intention is to use the trailing edge of the wings as aligning point and work my way forward. I do realize that there is a bit of surgery in the rear to make the wing and fuselage match, and there will be some work with plastic sheet and filler, making the wing intakes meet the fuselage. My question is: Is this a stupid idea? Am I missing some thing completely obvious, a show stopper? Thanks for your comments and suggestions, as always. Cheers Christian

Hi Matave. No, this is another Fokker D.VII. Could have been a nice twist to the story, though. Cheers Christian

Thanks, guys, for your valuable input!

Hi Dave. Thanks for your reply. I had downloaded Wingnut Wings' instructions before writing and there is a wealth of useful info. When it comes to these greens, however, Wingnut Wings suggest Tamiya XF-61 and Humbrol 30 as being equivalents. These colours are very far from each other, so it is not really a help after all. I am building Eduard's 1/48 kit. Two versions of the same aircraft. The aircraft first flew as a civilian courier/ mail plane. It was in Lozenge without any special markings apart from a Danish pennant painted on the tail. Afterwards it was purchased by the Army Air Corps and was painted overall green with proper Danish roundels. Cheers Christian Source: Aerofile Info.

Hello all. I am working on my first WW I model, a Fokker D.VII, a rather terrifying experience 🙂 I am looking for info/advice on the green(s) used for the non-Lozenge parts of the aircraft. I have the impression that the upper fuselage in front of the pilot, the motor cowling and the "wing" between the wheels is one green, and that all struts between the upper and lower wing (and perhaps also those of the undercarriage) are another green. Oh, by the way, my model is a Fokker-built version. However, I have not been able find very much information about this, and any help from you would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Christian

Hi folks, it's me again. I am looking for a picture showing the two flare dispensers loaded with live flares. As I assume they were during the conflict in Libya in 2011. Thanks for your help. Best regards Christian

Thanks, Bobski. Cheers Christian

Cheers guys. I have another question regarding my British Typhoon build.. On the front of the rudder, where it is closest to the fin (I hope I'm using the right terms) there is a stripe of differently coloured material. Wear resistant, I suspect. In some pictures it appears metallic, in others lightly coloured and yet others rather dark. I am building ZJ927, and I have a picture where the stripe is rather dark. What is the right colour? If, indeed, there, is a "right" colour. Best regards Christian
