  1. Guys, don't you think this discussion has gone a bit off tangent by now?
  2. Always happy to help other modellers spend their money
  3. Considering the age of this kit and its many flaws, I think you did an outstanding job! Kudos! It really looks beautiful. And if you would ever want to build another D XXI (and I can imagine you would, as it is just a great looking plane with classic lines), may I suggest you try the Special Hobby kit, also in 1/48 and in various versions (the Finnish one for example). And it has less PE and more plastic.... Robert
  4. Hello all, perhaps slghtly off topic in this thread, but: which model paint colour do you use for this even one-colour grey-green finish those vehicles (like the Tor, BTR-82A, T72B3 etc can be seen in nowadays? I am thinking of using Ammo Mig 0053 Protective NC 1200 but it loks a bit too light and greyish. But maybe that's just because I am much more used to the older greens they used... Any suggestions would be helpful! Cheers, Robert
  5. According to some sources, the costs of building a new one would be prohibitive, especially in the post-pandemic air transport market conditions and with a view to several four engined airliners having been converted, as mentioned in an earlier post. So it is very likely that a piece of aviation history has been lost forever. That said, there were and still are worse sacrifices to mourn there... .
  6. Thanks alt-92. Looks like several a/c areon both the AirDecal and XtraDecal set. But this will get me there!
  7. Thanks Luigi, that sounds like a fairly straightforward job. I want to build this one as an F-15C of the 32 TFS "Wolfhounds" based at Soesterberg AB and AFAIK they first had first batch F-15Cs (FY77) which were later replaced with later batch aircraft Robert
  8. Hello all, I finally decided to get the Airfix Victor B2 out of the stash for this winter's project. And I really want to build it in the camouflage scheme, but the only decal option in the box for that is for a training squadron. And while I do not in any way want to downplay the importance of training, I would want to buiild this one into a more, well, operational aircraft. Anyone know of any after market decals? Cheers, Robert
  9. Slightly off topic, but does anyone know what needs to be done to backdate the GWH to an early F-15C'?
  10. Unfortunately Jamie, according to your website you don't ship to the Netherlands....
  11. Thanks Jamie! Does that happen to be in your model paint range?
  12. Hello all, I was wondering which paint to use on RN ships from the 1980s and 1990s, like the Type 42 destroyers and Type 22 frigates. IIRC this "navy grey" had some sort of greenish hue over it.. Any help is greatly appreciated! Cheers, Robert
  13. I think I would rather call this GMS: Greedy Modeller's Syndrome. Symptoms are: well, I am sure I don't have to elaborate, you all will be familiar with them to some extent. No adequate cure found yet, but the syndrome can be slowed down by depleted credit cards and bank accounts And I will be the first to admit I am suffering from it.
