I must second the motion that the Hobbycraft kit along with the Flightpath detail set is the cat's pajamas. If you've got the money, the Fisher resin Sea Fury in 1/32 can not be bettered by anything availble. Just another modelers opinion. Mike

Hello all, To get right to the point, when did the British military aircraft start using 'Interior Gray Green' for the cockpits? Were existing types painted over what ever color was existant? Aluminum I would think. Specifically, what color were the cockpits for my Inpact Bulldog, Flycatcher, and Gladiator? Thanks for the help, Mike PS, please excuse my American spelling.

Hello, I am preparing to start my Aeroclub 1/48 BAC Lightning F.6 vacuform/multi-media kit. I have discovered that I do not have the usual Aeroclub 'exploded view' parts breakdown page. All my other Aeroclub kits have such a sheet but I don't know if such a page is supposed to be included with this kit. I have been able to identify most of the parts but there are some of the metal bits I just can't make out what they are or where they go. I am hoping I could respectfully ask if somebody would look into their own copy of this kit and let me know if such a page is supposed to be there, and if so, perhaps email me at guitar dot guitar at earthlink dot net and make arrangements to email to me a scan of same. Also, the clear vac canopy has been crushed. Does anybody have or know of a replacement available anywhere? Does anybody know if the Aeroclub canopy as released for the Airfix kit will fit on the Aeroclub kit? I have purchased allmost all of the Aeroclub kits and actually built a few. I really like them a lot. Thank you, Mike the modelhound in Bellingham, WA. USA

Hell from sunny Washington State, USA. I am preparing some decals for the Palmer Aero Cord Tyres. Does anybody have any information as to what sizes were used on the various RFC aeroplanes? Thanks, Mike the modelhound.

RAS, You did a really nice job with a marginal kit at best. I mostly like the PC-10 color. Please do tell what paint you used. Mike the modelhound..

Hello All, Concerning 1/48 SE-5/5a kits First was Aurora which was leased to Entex and then subsequently re-worked by Monogram then transfered to Revell. Merit was a knock-off of the original Aurora kit. Those molds went to Artiplast and then on to Smer. Lindberg was what it was. Roden did two SE-5a kits. The first had too many or too few (I don't remember which) ribs in the wing. Roden then re-made the wing in the correct manner and re-release the kits. Anybody who had one of the original Roden kits could email Olga at Roden and she would send you a set of the corrected wings. As has been stated here, the Roden is by far and away the best of the lot. If you buy a previously owned kit, if such things matter to you, beware of which wing set is in the box. I don't know if Roden is still replacing the bogus wings. There you have it in a nutshell. Mike the modelhound in Bellingham, WA. USA PS - I carnt typ wurth a durn.

Pete, Like, Major Bummer Man. I am truly sorry about your mishap. If I can do anything to help, sing out. Mike the modelhound

Alan Hall would be proud. Mike

Carl, Please allow me to add my appreciation for two really very nice builds. Here's hoping you have many more projects like these for your and our pleasure. Thank you, Mike

Please see my post "Austrian Sworl Corel files available free" on this forum. Mike the modelhound.

If you want to print your own decals, listen up, eh? Lately I promised to send some Corel files of the Austrian Sworl Camo pattern to somebody. Somehow I can not find hide nor hair of the details of this promise. If you are the person, or anybody else here wants a copy of these files, contact me by email and put Sworl in the subject line. [email protected] I have both four and three color versions of the pattern so you can take your choice as you see fit. You can also use your choice of colors. Here are some low resolution bmp copies not to any scale. mIKE feeling generous.

You just have to right click on the picture and it will expand. Then left click on the expanded picture and choose 'save this picture'. You will then copy the picture to your hard disk. If that doesn't work send me a message and I will email them to you. mIKE the modelhound
