Thank you "exdraken" and "dov", the air intake is well made, but from what is written on the "block 30/40/50 large intake" package, I cannot find any feedback, it is slightly wider than that of the kit but does not follow the profile of those of the F-16 based here in Aviano AB. I have seen beautiful shapes but expensive, I don't know how much it is worth, I will follow the advice of "dov" and I will use putty and sandpaper to give life to a new air intake. Linus

Dear friends, I received, as a gift from a colleague, a 1/48 Academy F-16C kit, with CMK air intake, probably he gave it to me because he bought a Hasegawa F-16CJ kit with air intake "large". At first glance, the CMK socket does not seem to have the correct profile, what do you think? Is there any aftermarket that makes a correct one at a good price? Comments, criticisms and advice are welcome Cheers Linus

the internal compartment of the brake on the wing, white color, the moving part of the brake, red. Good work friend.

Very beutiful build,and a great tribute!

Thank you PhoenixII, I did as you said, I also consulted with a model maker friend, and we came to the same conclusion as you by examining many vintage photos the codes were white for G-ACSS and G-ACSR, while for G-ACSP they were gold. Thanks again Linus

Hello Folks, from my old question about the color for the serial numbers on DH-88 G-ACSS it was silver or white? , in KP kit the serial number are in silver!!!! so the KP kit is correct? last week I received the DH-88 Micro-Mir 1/48, but the serial number in this last kit are in white! Could it be that Airfix, SBS, and Micro Mir were all wrong color, and only KP made color correct? Thanks in advance at all . linus

Thank you Work In Progress, sorry I had wrong to write, it is correct G-ACSS!!! Also I had wrong forum, what do I re-ask the question in the other section?

Hi folks, being a big cat enthusiast, i bought the latest Academy, really very nice, very good quality / price 3 gun fairings, different main rims, only the first types beaver tail is missing, but after market Wolfpack design, it produces it. at the moment I think it's the best, has anyone looking for it tried it at Martola? Shalaho, I am just building one of the first Academy, it is very basic, something less in the nose, but once assembled and painted in DOH it is not noticeable and can pass, then given the price ..... you can not to pretend!!! Some work is needed on the tub, the canopy hinge, wheels and seats to replace. Linus

after writing to the Print Scale company, they replied asking me for the address as they will send me corrections for the sheets I previously purchased, I have attached photos with the sheets in question to the reply email. Now we look forward confidently.

Giorgio, even the Italeri kits are dated but much more correct, I have seen the decals and even those seem to be more correct.

Hello gentlemen, italeri also released a box dedicated to TOP GUN with F-14 and A-4, and I hope it is more decent !!! Linus

Urca, thanks for the new one, I had written to them, but I have not had any response, I'm sorry because I had bought even 2 sheets per type because the Bucc. I like it too much. Linus

Thank you bentwaters81 tfw, your info are very useful, and you encouraged me to continue!!! Linus

Thank you Orso, now I have more confusion than before🤣🤣🤣.

Hi folks, I had buy the sheets 72/401 and 72/402 from Print Scale, at first glance the colors of the serial nimbers and the low visibility nationality insignia seem the wrong color, there is someone who can tell me if it is my impression or simply once applied on the model painted with the correct colors everything is fine, since the carrier sheet is blue paper. I await comments thanks! Linus

Hello Folks, from my old question about the color for the serial numbers on DH-88 G-ASCC it was silver and not white , so the KP kit is correct? yesterdy I received the DH-88 Micro-Mir 1/48, but the serial number in this last kit are in white!

Excelent work Neil, compliments!!!

Happy Easter for all, I have seen the post now, I would be interested in the resin parts, can someone tell me if they are for sale, and who can produce them? thank you! Linus

Hi guys, which is the cost of the book, and where I can buy this book? I'm interesting in this book, I live near Trieste,(60m km.) this a history. Cheers Linus

Hi Stalker6Recon, sorry for a really big retard I reply, about the glue for the decals, I had use glue "Gomma Arabica" a common glue for paper that children use at school, but can also go very well with the vinyl glue diluted with a little water (I recommend the vinyl) the first can make yellowing being of amber color! Good work and sorry again for delay! Cheers Linus

Compliments Alistair, it is very nice clean and beautiful, and no damage is seen!!! Cheers Linus

Hi Stalker6Recon, I also had a problem similar to yours with a KP kit, very old, the decals were brownish not yellow!!! I solved this: put a saucepan with water on the stove until it started to boil, turned off and inserted the decal in the hot water for a moment, when it moved from the detached support placed on a plane and with the help of a brush , with the water from the pan removed all the old yellowed glue, taking the vinyl glue and applying the old decals. Sorry for my mistake english, I hope you can understand. P.S. first make a test if the decals keep the temperature with one that you don't need for the model. Good lucky Linus

Hi mates, In your opinion, which kit do you recommend? Hasegawa, Kinetic, or Hobby boss? Thank you in advance. Linus

Very nice work, my compliments!!! It is a true!!!

Hi David, TSR2 ia a great model, my compliments, it is very nice!!! Linus
