Loki

I have sent him some emails. All unanswered I am afraid. Hoping he is ok.......

Yes it's Paolo M.

For an A you will need some fuselage stiffeners and two on the left side of the tails. If you PM me your email addy, I will send you a profile with all the changes required to make a CF-18A or CF-188B.

*I have decided to remove this post in an effort to drop the subject* If pushed I will post my reply to -Neu- and then leave this site.

Actually -Neu- I'll point out the fact that you forgot to mention the wonderful Matchbox kit which gave the builder the option to build both single and dual seater. Hey, it even came in three coloured plastic so you didn't even have to paint it. The fact remains that there are very few F-16s in this scale that can be found or used for a newer block F-16, irrespective of your moody reply. I posted a simple fact. There is next to nothing for F-16s in this scale for the serious modeller to choose from (if one can find the Block 30 by Revell). I was not being sarcastic, but you just have to bite don't you. Look, you're obviously not reading my postings correctly otherwise you would not have thrown your teddy bears out of your perambulator. Please don't answer or read any of my future postings because I won't be reading yours just in case I upset you or you bore the pants off me. Is there a block function here so I don't have to read your posts by any chance? Cheers

Bored

OMG!

WTF? Perhaps English isn't your first language? Not sarcastic at all. It's a fact that 1/72 has been forgotten about by Tamiya f-16 designers.

Available from March / April according to Bryan at FMM.

Lucky 1/72 guys. They get forgotten about usually. I want the long awaited B and D versions though....... anyway - good luck to you mini modellers, glad you have the eyesight for it!

There are a TON. Google is your friend. type BRU-55 VER Hornet F/a-18 and words of that like. You'll be happy. Legacy Hornet BTW

Nice looking gear. I might have to get some for my resin collection lol.

Supposed to be an alternative reality during WW2. A tangential move sideways. Image for a moment that Hitler didn't start Operation Barbarossa. Imagine he committed to the Western front and signed a non aggression pact with the Soviets. What would have been built?

Sorry for the posts. It has been suggested to post this here for you all. Saw this and have spoken to the owner. Currently he is looking at producing these in 1/72 (possibly), plastic injection molded. Website yet to be done but will be: http://www.cromaticalab.com/models/blog/ The Facebook site is far better: https://www.facebook.com/cromaticamodels This is one of the proposals, a tangential move completely sideways during WW2: Go see and enjoy. One thing though. Would you like these in 1/72, 1/48 or 1/32? Cheers Martin

Thanks for sticking with this. I should have posted this somewhere for WHIF or SciFi models to be honest. Still, your thoughts are v much appreciated.

Hi all, Sorry but this is a double post with WW2 section but it fits both. Saw this and have spoken to the owner. Currently he is looking at producing these in 1/72, plastic injection molded.

Can't blame you at all. It's a doozy anyway. I might suggest just adding the correct antennae though. Wont take long and would add a new level of interest to an already great model. If you need some shots let me know or you can google this: A-4P colores y perfiles halcones malvinas That's going to get you a new level of photos and things from south american forums

Oh, by the way, there are several items to add (and remove) from your model:

I agree with Jorge and Luis. The colours are very difficult to get right. See my posts on the subject. The tan colour you have used must be darker. The yellow ID flashes were painted turquoise very quickly as soon as war was declared and the jets moved bases. It's a great job, don't get me wrong. Colours were usually very light cream / off white and dark brown or dark brown and olive green for the P. It's a very common mistake If you're happy with the colours, then of course the model is yours and it looks very good indeed. You should be proud. Don't forget about the weapons load as well. Don't use any American ordnance. Bombs were indigenous bastardisations of the British M-177 or the Spanish EXPAL bombs.

Have you tried my mate over at Helion Books? http://www.helion.co.uk I got mine from him and he's a nice chap to have a chat with.

Hiya, Yes decision made. I am doing 701 from AETE. This won't be for a while yet though. I have to research the thing to death before I can satisfy my AMS and start cutting plastic. I have bought everything, including the Wolfpack Op Mobile set for the FAT ECM pylon. I already know that this particular airframe has strengthening plates on the top x2 each side, wing roots x1 each side, tails - normal A knife shaped plates but also one odd looking double plate on each right facing tail near the rudder. Just trying to decide what to make these from.

Hi all, News re decals. Still haven't got my model room ready in the new house. Seems as though the rest of it needs to be done first LOL. Anyway, up to date from today..... I have noticed the A is damaged in NAVY, I'll have to fix this. A photographer I am not, sorry. Hope you all have a merry Christmas. Martin
