Will, I have plenty of F5 references if you need any, quite happy to send CD, also have some 1/48th decals of his aircraft, don't think we have 1/72, but have plenty of French Air Force decals if you need any. [email protected] Colin

Dan, Have much in common with you, Vietnam, fascinating subject....... Both reality and models. Unfortunately all my models are 1/48, so cannot comment on 1/72nd. Fair bit of info you may find useful, let alone running the IPMS(UK) Decal Bank.... So may be able to help with them... Give me an email at, [email protected] Can send you some stuff that might help with your interest. This any use...? http://ipmsuk.proboards.com/index.cgi?boar...amp;thread=6404 Colin

Martin, Pretty sure we have some. Definitely got roundels and some codes etc, Give me an email at, [email protected] Colin

Interesting subject. Must admit I am a fan of displaying an aircraft model on it's wheels, but thought I'd add a post illustrating a couple of ideas that I have seen and thought were quite novel. Not quite WWII, but I hope it adds to the subject and gives some thought to all that see this. Bit of a Swiss theme here as well, firstly a display many of you may have already seen "in the flesh" at Telford. Seb in the background, nice idea I thought using the smoke to cover the supporting structure, and yet giving an imposing display. The second, is something again some of you may have seen in years gone by.. A display that when I, and others saw it, could not believe. Throughout it's display on the Recce SIG stand in 2006, people were looking for the wires supporting it. Believe me there are none..... The SR71 does indeed have a steel pole supporting it at the rear of the model, but the KC135 is supported only by the steel in the refuelling boom. Yes just the boom, look closely and just marvel at the thought of the structure, engineering, and modelling skill required.. Closer image, just look no bending....... and that is supporting the weight of the KC135 model....! Of course all the weight goes back through the SR71 model, which has a supporting structure within it, and is then transferred through the upright to the base. Amazing.... Made by, (hope I have this right?), Andy Nydegger of the Swiss IPMS, a group of modellers who, in my opinion make some of the nicest models I have seen.....! Colin

Ed, They seem to have had transmitter aerial fitted to the nose glazing and receivers fitted to port wing at least. I have a drawing and a couple of poor photos if interested, from the 'In Action' book. Colin

Simon, Hope this helps...? Once you have a mould, feel free to send it to me, I have the best part of 2Kg of casting resin sat here with no plans to use it, so am quite happy to cast some for you........ Colin
