Is there anywhere on this planet where these items are available? Happy to purchase these, Michael

Tamiya and mixes thereof have always worked for this forum member. Does anyone really make Dark Earth as a scale colour for 1/72nd or 1/48th models? Tamiya is easy to prepare, easy to mix, easy to airbrush and easy to clean up with Tamiya Thinners. Michael

Thank you Ed, I will attempt to track this set down. They appear to be rare to say the least. Michael

Thank you Troy. Yes, you are right and a generic look will be good enough. Michael

Thanks. I have spotted this one before and wondered if it really was an original solid nose version. It seems this machine did not see active service and was acquired and marked up to represent a 2nd TAF Mitchell by the CHWM. Nevertheless, the red codes are useable and I appreciate your response, Michael

The J version of the B-25 appears to have been in service with 98 and 180 Squadrons RAF from late 1944. Aside from pilfering the decal set from an Academy B-25c/d in ETO markings, are there any decal options for the Monogram 1/48 B-25J in these RAF squadrons? Any advice would be appreciated. Michael

A remarkably fine piece of work!

Thanks Dean, most appreciated. Bought the last one on Amazon, of all places.

Advice from The Forum please. Helicopters are not my area of specialisation. However, I do wish to add a Vietnam Era CH-53 to the collection. I think the CH-53A was the Jolly Green Giant variant used in Vietnam. Will this Revell CH-53 GS/G make up to a CH-53A? Any advice appreciated.

Me too.

Thank you. I have emailed him. Michael

Thank you. No luck at Shapeways. I may have to re-think this, Michael

Thanks

Apart from paying extremely high prices for the Monogram 'Visible' B-17G, (which includes the parts as an option), has anyone converted the tail turret to the Cheyenne modification? There are the Paragon and the Verlinden versions but they seem as good as extinct. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael

Most, if not all of your questions are addressed in detail in Wingleader Photo Archive numbers 5 and 15. Having read everything about Lancasters that I could get my hands on since 1959, I would consider these two publications the most complete,, well researched and profusely illustrated works. Michael
