Looks like exercise markings similar to ones I have seen on Firefly V’s. Can’t remember the name but it took place in the North Atlantic. Firefly ones were blue/white/blue.

Olive Drab, then.

And the VB-10 was a big machine!
Great pic. Still wondering what color it was - dark blue?

It is Planet. Look at the stock number.

PLEASE, the “world absolute speed record holder” markings, the purplish one.

Built the Contrails vacuform back in the 1970’s. Came out pretty nice but I ended up in the hospital emergency room with chest pains.. thought it might be heart trouble. Ticker was fine. Turns out the problem was the weeks worth of contortions involved in cutting , filling and sanding that big delta. Strained my sternum.
Happened again years later when I finished brass railing a 1/350 battleship New Jersey. Was able to skip the emergency room that time. I have stuck to smaller planes ever since, better for the health. Ticker’s still fine.

Model Art did a very nice resin one. Very hard to come by now.

I'm staggered that folk can come to the conclusions they have on this thread, based on a couple of scratchy images taken from odd angles and almost certainly taken on a cell phone and compressed when the images were uploaded!
Thomo.
It is just that Trumpeter has let us down on shapes soooo many times, but hope springs eternal.

At this point consensus is that it is a Dragon kit.
That’s a truly horrible and mis-shapened kit. Deserves a decent burial, not a re-issue.

I guess it sometimes pays to moan a bit. Now I have the peace of mind to of knowing that my 1/72 S-51 dream will come true one day. Thanks Micro-Mir!

What a shame this kit is 1/48. Strictly personal point of view, been hoping for a 1/72 version since I decided that nothing could be done with the Mach kit due to the irredeemable canopies.

Wolfpack-D from Korea, they of the excellent T-2 Buckeye in 1/72 and T-38 in 1/48, promised a new tool F-5E/F a couple of years ago. Havn’t heard much about them since. Wolfpack does really excellent resin but seem slow the bring their proposed injection kits to market. They may be undercapitalized, which is a shame since the few kits they have brought to market are really good.

Looks very much like the boxing I bought at the Warbirds Hobby Shop, Detroit, Michigan in 1966. First time I ever saw Heller kits. What a wonder!

The one being offered on E-Bay is promising delivery in the second half of February. Looks more like a pre-order than slow post. Doubt that the kit is out yet, perhaps late January. The trouble with pre-orders not clearly identified as such is that ( with PayPal payment) they get your money upon order rather than upon dispatch. Works if you want it as soon as possible and don't mind the investment.

Metal props available from Welsh Models. Their website suggests that Hastings and D.C.-4 have the same props. If so, then spare Minicraft DC-4 props might work, as well.

Don't have any sourced information, but it sure looks like Dark Gull Gray FS 36231 over white. Logical, also, since Dark Gull Gray over white was the standard USN anti-sub scheme during the later part of WWII. The color in the photo is too dark for Light Gull Gray but Dark Gull Gray is in the same family, only darker, as the name so cleverly implies. I believe the same scheme was used for a while on Lockheed Neptunes supplied to the Dutch.

Great news! Presently struggling with the Matchbox one, a personal record for quantity of Mr Surfacer 500 used. I have two fervent hopes. First, that SH sorts out the various nose lengths of the night fighters. There is an amazing amount of conflicting information in the various publications on this subject. Second, that they don't use those inexplicable, and all but impossible to assemble neatly, four part wings that come in some, but not all, SH Meteor kits.

Available from Special Hobby's e-shop at reasonable price. Ordered mine yesterday

Fuad,
you are one fine modeller. Beautiful job, as always.
-
The easist, and most expensive, fix for the nose shape is the clear nose part from the much more recent Airfix 1/72 Canberra B(I) 8, if you can find one.
-
As always, a really good and a really attractive build. Those shallow wheel wells don' offend so much with the main wheel wells closed (not an unusual configuration for P-51D's).
-
I'll buy it if they can tell me what color it was.
Airfix 1:48 Meteor - any T.7/NF conversion in the wind?

I seem to think I saw some hints on the Alley Cat website, though they are not there now ( just looked).
