The fact that it’s 2018 and the only 1/72 C-130 kits we still have are the 45 year old Airfix and the nearly 40 year old Italeri kits is simply astounding.
A new, CAD designed, modular C-130 family with the ability to add or subtract parts to get everything from a Roman nose C-130A to the latest C-130J would be a kit that could be produced from now ‘till doomsday.If you keep your eyes peeled at shows you might be lucky with the Roman nose. DB productions produced one when Noah built the arc, I know I have a couple waiting for a Togolese C-130. Good luck.

Chris,
I think those two parts attach to the body of the Sea Eagle missiles that come in the FA2 kit.

Whoops!! Fake news. Andre please ignore

Funnily enough I have the Harrier FA2 with me, packing it up for Farnborough. I've had a look through the instructions & sprues( which are still sealed), and on the sprue containing the parts for the seat(sprue b) are two parts numbered 32& 33, but no mention of them in the instructions!. Could this be what your seeking?. cheers

Could be time to move on those Magna offerings!?

Cheers Martin, reason for enquiring was I've just done a Peruvian version using the Authentic Decals nose art on a Bilek/Italeri SU22 M4 then realized it should have been an M3( file away spine air intake). I was wondering how to re-construct the intake? PHEW!! Chris

Has any manufacturer ever done a resin correction set for a Peruvian machine? In 1/72.
Martin
What needs to be corrected for a Peruvian aircraft Martin?

Looking at my Bilek SU-22M4 they give colour options for Czech & Slovak examples citing Model Master 1540, 1567, 1710 & 1716. cheers Chris

From my dealings with Hannants, contact them and they'll probably just send you a replacement. cheers Chris

All silver B-25 letting down into Fernberger three minutes ago.
And now some two seat red jet trainers just made a very low pass heading towards Blackbushe. Can't see much modelling getting done this morning.

While not exactly modern, Williams Bros released a very nice C-46 Commando in the late 70s. It can still be obtained quite readily second hand. In addition, there is a modern injected kit available but, unfortunately it is in 1/144 scale https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Platz-MODEL-PD-22-1-144-Curtiss-C-46ECM-Commando-Kit/292535058682?hash=item441c72c0fa:g:N0YAAOSwevlZ-FAE

ps - I do agree that a new 1/72 kit would be great.
S&M Models currently have the Williams C-46 available in their range.

Chris,
No....they are still prevalent...Please see the photo I have just added. The L-39Cs are leased and have sported some whacky colour schemes/markings over recent years - some with 'triangles'...some without...IIRC the grey one shown does have them but I will check.
Given 2019 is the 100th Anniversary of the Estonian Air Force I doubt they will do away with this iconic marking any time soon.
Cheers
Mark
Thanks for that info Mark, much appreciated. I know there's an Italeri AN2 in the vaults, just need to check out the markings.
-
Mark Have the Estonian's done away with the tri-angular markings now. cheers Chris

I've had a quick look through the AKAN paint list I got from Coastal Craft at last years NATS and it lists a scheme for the Su-27SM in the Russian Air Force 100th Anniversary. The set is numbered 47332 and contains paints:- 73167,73168,73169,73058,73146 & 73060. hth chris

Interesting thread this. Luckily not my area of interest per se but the membership seems to be getting somewhat aggressive, even dictatorial. CaracalModels must be looking forward in anticipation to the multi sheet orders heading his way. Just as well there's nothing else to occupy his time.

Not actually over my house but at the home of British aviation down in the valley a flying display was taking place yesterday afternoon. An aerobatic team were displaying over the airfield complete with "Smoke On". Can only think it was 100th Anniversary related with the FAST museum.

Right search continued: Superscale 72-460 is for Hinds including two A's where my Algerian option came from. Vietnamese markings appear on 72-102(Mig 17) & 72-473( Mig 21). I'm now going for a lay down to recover after checking through 17 lever arch files. Phew

I had a further look through the decal bank and found some Vietnamese markings on Freedom Tigers II (72-050) from Aztec one of the captured F-5's. Chris

Been through my Begemont,Authentic & Caracal sheets and nothing. Have done one in Algerian markings but I think I used the Zotz (Roundels of the World), and that stopped at the Middle East. Chris

Having gone through my Modeldecal sheets and instructions gifted to me by Dick I think the first sheet that covers your required time frame is 49 with Sea Kings HAS1/2 OF 1978. Every thing prior to this covers an earlier time period. Sheet 50 carries a Jaguar from 1977(Silver Jubilee Review). Sheet 55 is the 1979 IAT AT Greenham. Sheet 56 carries 1978/9 Lynxs. Sheet 57 has a single Sea King HAR 3. Sheet 64 has Phantoms, Tornados & Hawks from 1981. Sheet 65 has Lightnings, Phantoms, & Sea Harriers from 1977-81. Sheet 67 has a Puma of 1980 vintage. Sheets from here on in tend to be Falklands on material although sheet 79 has a Hunter of RAE Bedford from 1980 and sheet 86 has a 1980's Hawk. hth cheers Chris

Re the other kits by Vista, I've got an Attacker FB2 in the stash by them.
Sorry Steve Ignore this post, I'm talking out of my not so pretty end. When I located this kit it's an AZ product I need to amend my kit list.

Another vote for Special Hobby service. I picked the CASA 212 up at Telford to find the windscreen missing when I got home, following an e-mail the complete sprue arrived in the post. Top team.
