As i'm the IPMS F-16 Fighting Falcon SIG leader I guest I better get involved with is one then, I've no ideal what i'm going to make at the moment but my options are F-16A Belgium, Dutch, Pakistan, F-16B Royal Thai, Norwegian, F-16C Bahrain, Chile, Indonesian, Singapore and an F-16D Turkish so i'll decide nearer the time. Cheers Ian

Hi Guys Thanks for your input in to my Japanese RF-4EJ, I followed the link on Graham post to his RF-4 and I think he got it spot on, so the colours I think I will use are: Upper Humbrol 168 Hemp, 105 Dk Green and X608 which is quoted as FS14108 by Hannants. Underside Humbrol 129 Lt Grey. Once again many thanks for help me out on this one. Ian

Hi Guys I have been trying to match the colours for a Japanese RF-4EJ. The 1/72 Hasegawa kit quotes Upperside Field Green FS34097 = Lt Green FS34108 = Lt Brown FS30372 = Underside Lt Grey FS36440 = I normally use Humbrol and Xtracolors Here's hoping you can help? Ian

A great build, but I have near understand why modellers do there models with open panels as if it was in a maintenance hanger and then put live weapons on there aircraft?

I won't post any pictures because there maybe copyright issues, but all I will say is that don'tchange the wings you have too ones from another kit Keep the ones you have. As long you make the cannons like right, The Isreali AF always modified there aircraft to suite there own needs, and I don't won't the wings issue to take away from your build. So just get on an enjoy what your doing and what anybody else may say does not matter because your making it for yourself and not them. Ian

According to the picture's i have, they do have the bulges on the upper wings.

Hi Tony Here is some pictures of the one I made so you can compare. It's 1/72 Italeri Mk.IX with the wings from an Heller Mk.XVI and the decals from Isradecal. Ian

Hi Tony The Israeli's had mostly Spitfire Mk.IXe wing not C wing has your kit shows, you have to change the guns around the other way for an E wing i.e. Big cannons on the outside of the wing and change the detail on the upper wings to match the cannons. Hope you have not started on the the wings yet and i'm not to late with the info? Ian

Hi Guys I was just wondering if anybody knows the colour sheme for the F-86 Pakistan AF, upper Green and underside light blue. Ian

I'm halfway though doing one myself, If you go to DACO Products http://ultra.glo.be/daco/ they have everthing you need to make this model, they have just reprinted the decal sheet Ian S

Has you can see from the photo that I have had an accident with a lamp that fell over when it was left on and I was not there when it happened, it landed on the tail off my Spitfire that I was going to varnish that evening. Has anyone got Xtradecal X72075 with 19 sqn marking that there not going to use, I will pay or maybe do a swap. I already have a replacment Spitfire but I need the decals so I can make it again. Here's hoping. Ian

I'm in the middle of making an F-16B in Portuguese air force, but I could not join in the group build because I had already started making it before the group build, I also have an F-16A Florida ANG and an Egyptian F-16C on the go as well all in 1/72 scale. Ian

Hi all Looking to see if any of you have some Hasegawa F-4E jet pipes 1/72 scale going begging? will pay for any expense. Ian

Does anybody know if there are any 1/72 decals for the F-15 from the Florida ANG
