Need: Instructions for 1/32 Revell Hawker Hunter, old edition
PhilHoff replied to Thomas from ARC's topic in Cold War
Hello, It seems that your instructions are downloadable from there: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/revell-04703-hawker-hunter-fga9-mk58--114500 Philippe -
Hello, There are two pictures of A3-49 in this scheme in the Mason and Mottram book http://mmpbooks.biz/shop2/?target=product&product_id=17670 But Revell decals appear to be not too faithful, the stars on the Southern Cross are positioned differently on A3-49 and the yellow on the Squadron markings should be a bit more orange. Actually, it was a 77 SQN aircraft repainted for the parade to mark 3 SQN reformation on Hornets in august 1986, and this livery was very short-lived. Philippe

Hello, The serial number on the tail is the USAAC/USAAF serial number, minus the first digit of the fiscal year. In your case, the complete serial number is 41-7617. With this serial number and a little ggogling, I found this: http://www.ww.aerialvisuals.ca/AirframeDossier.php?Serial=165322 And that: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dougsheley/3232711621/ That makes your airplane a P-38F-1-LO, of the 71st Fighter Squadron, 1st Fighter Group. Crashed during landing at Goxhill,England on August 19,1942. Philippe

Trumpeter Announces 48th Scale Hawk 81A-2
PhilHoff replied to sharkmouth's topic in The Rumourmonger
Because the sprues are identical, even the photoetch plate has a 2004 copyright on it. Let's see by yourself: http://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/kits/tru/kit_tru_2807.shtml Philippe -

Hello, So, it does not appear to be a new tool kit, but the old tooling with the shallow cockpit and all... Well, let's wait to Airfix, now. Philippe -
1/32 scale KittyHawk Models P-39 Airocobra
PhilHoff replied to tigger's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Hello, A great exercise in weathering, indeed, but completely unrealistic for my taste. Filatov's plane, like most soviet P-39, was well maintained and far for beeing that scruffy: Source: http://www.modellismopiu.it/modules/newbb_plus/print.php?forum=132&topic_id=117352 But once again, this is a matter of personal taste, and the work to obtain that finish is certainely interesting, (to depict an airplane abandoned for years in the tundra, IMHO).

Hello! Look at the path to the picture: www.hphmodels.cz/images/stories/galerie_modelu/Concorde-1-48/48/Concorde-reklama-samostatne5.jpg I think it is more 1:48. Still 1.28 m x 53 cm though. Philippe
