them, with Bandai are sitting above a golden mine, but only if they realize that maybe it's time to stop doing gundams and macross and start delivering Ace Combat superplanes and other related subjects, it is the same for other game and anime franchises, but nope, gundam and your generic shonen crap always have the priority Luigi- 100 replies

I partially remember that the chaff/flare had a cutout slot, probably where the part of the now shortened airbrake covered or somewhere around there, Prime Portal has or had a particular picture on which you can guess its size and position One NASA AV-8C also had the dispenser mounted or sealed up with a panel, never managed to find an high resolution picture of it Then there is one AV-8A/C Hybrid inside some US Museum, it has the wings of a C, everything else was an A, the question about AV-8C dispenser was also asked many times, probably by myself too, proof still escapes me. Luigi edit I might have found something but I'm not really sure https://www.flickr.com/photos/dawlad/23111898834/in/photolist-2ovsQew-duoKdo-dDpZx2-2FZVQq-Bdjwjo-dDpZET-2N7Yc6-2FZZGL-88J6c8-avHYf5-663gGW-2iAUajA-84rYmT-2j8vSc3-dDwPNy-2iW4ArP-2iW7mH3-2j8ytS5-9DcPGu-doWvaf-doWRij-dDwQTN-rBJbhP-rMRY47-2pwnStV-2hoMLGp-qX6JVG-2cQqrXZ-LhkUCg-2pwgGV6-2owBbG8-omParo-7MYN8q-85DTgR-jbkL5z-eZHe9h-7yuLP2-C4TmGG-2hoR9U3-4DiM9a-RY4Zs-6cT1Yd-4sXNuc-7jyPSr-2pL8Jwa-2bWwUrF-2pJaDbm-2pHUREJ-2bNkJ3a-2mgJTKG that's probably it as this machine still has the fairings https://b-domke.de/AviationImages/Harrier.html Luigi

wrong Mig-21 thread, lol, delete this Luigi
-
I had the 21-93, guess I should buy it back and think about a DiY Luigi
-
I'm not 100% sure, but in the past Koku Fan published hidden somewhere around the last 20 pages of their mag various camouflage schemes plus color callouts for them, if the color feels odd think about old camera film on which bright orange appearing as red and vice versa. If FM used the wrong colors it's probably because their source is that one old Koku Fan magazine Luigi
-
I'm at loss here cause I completely forgot to buy the 1/72 conversion for the Mig-21 Lancer, so I'm just wondering, did I also lose the Mig-21 Bison conversion or there is still none? Luigi
-
Will go through Ace Combat stash cause I sold all Hasegawa Phantoms and the lonely G I have got stripped from unused parts, apparently they are not cameras but https://phantomphacts.blogspot.com/p/analq-126.html yet the Turkey F-4E I remember the camera was either installed in the former USN hook points or in between that area. It had a boxy look, was aerodynamically shaped yet the rear part was really squared off EDIT found out Hasegawa has these antennas molded in the wings, so no, I'm creating more confusion, said parts are still unknown Luigi
-
I have stuff saved from past ARC and Zone5 forums, the more the merrier. Anyway, for Hasegawa if I'm not guessing wrong are the parts contained on A tree, parts #11 & #12, all the boxes I owned and own always marked said two parts as unused, many moons ago while I was searching around I found some pictures with them mounted on IRL airframes, one was definitely from and Turkish F-4E, other was from a Marines or USAF one. I really can't find them anymore, I think they were listed on Phantom Phacts but the page was probably removed or ended up overwritten by EW page. Luigi
-
So making an EF-4C will be a matter to steal those pieces and scratch some antennas here and there, Hasegawa also has cameras on their kits, not the same kind, but all of their boxes have one or two particular parts always marked as unused Luigi
-
two rails with different length, adapter are missing, don't know, probably for a single Sidewinder or Python installed on Sparrow well, specific center line for whatever operator. If they are planning to make late IDF or Turkey Phantoms, then they need longer inboards pylons who were created to mount AGM-142 missiles. Pave TACK adapter for centerline was different Pave Knife had a straight mount Pave Spike(?) I think Italeri and Hasegawa weapon set have the adapter If not then it's Greek F-4E territory or late Sidewinder bottom mounts for F-4F maybe F-4G and Greek Phantoms? Luigi

I still have to buy FM kits cause my money sadly went into gacha and other crap I should never waste my money on it. What do you mean about purge doors? Is that about the replacement resin part that sometime I spot on YJA? Wasn't that for RF-4EJ kits cause they messed the nose between early and late variants with no gun? As for wing tanks, didn't Phantoms had 3 or 4 kinds of wing tanks? Early, integrated with pylon, not integrated and some later variant with straps? Or is that another 300 gal tank hell? Luigi

One C for Greg Gates One C for Distant Thunder One A ISAF One A ERUSEA in desert camouflage A needed two seater with that mottled camouflage inspired from german night fighters Random thoughts about a certain downed A-10 from an Operation Flashpoint mission I made moons ago and I need to check Novalogic and A-10 toys camouflage Luigi

they should rebox their 1/72 Gripens ffs and also make an E/F
-
I probably spent around 50€ for the first two volumes combined with double shipping prices and fees directly from Japan, the third one was around 3k yen about a year ago, now I can't find it anymore. Later schemes are kinda too bright and too nonsensical like today's USAF F-16 schemes, still, I just want it for completion-ist reasons
-
Actually it had 3 variants, from the same book From June 1990 to March 1995 green marked as 2.5G 4/4 From October 1995 to September 1998 still 2.5G 4/4 repainted as the camouflage follows a different partner From March 1999 to 2001 2nd repaint green marked as U49-40T I do need volume 3 of that book, and I also wish there it was something for F-4EJ Phantom with aggressors schemes as some of them are hidden in some obscure Koku Fan Luigi

I still have to buy Modelsvit Mirage III, since I started to revise certain things I focused to certain subjects and well, some extra books bought due fomo, focused so much, that I missed Mi-35 Super Hind conversion kits, different stuff from another aftermarket maker, which name always escapes me as I fear to open their store page and see all the things I wanted marked as discontinued. I'm on hold with Mirage III agenda, cause I would like to stick with just one maker + those AMK Kfirs for obvious reasons, It's such a nice machine, yet everyone seems to be ignoring it, maybe because they are afraid of its 9349023429038429034823 variants, or maybe because the market it's still steering towards the wrong direction Luigi -edit- apparently I found a Mirage 50EV conversion inside a forgotten box with aftermarket sets I bought don't really know when, also a Mirage III RS conversion from PJ Productions, plus Model Alliance Harrier FA2 conversion with probably the right FA2 radome for the Italeri kit
-
For my Ace Combat needs, I do need IAI Finger, Atlas Cheetah and Mirage 50 Pantera parts and at least one two seat variant from whatever cause I have 4 AMK Kfir and two of them are going to be converted or used as spares or for random projects, plus, I need other conversion bits for a Mirage III NG conversion of which I need to modify the wings and other bits, Modelsvit from what I'm aware has none and I would like to wait to see what Special Hobby will ever release (as long they don't pull an Half Life 3), that's why I need those conversion sets, cause, you never know. Luigi
-
thanks, time to go hunting ^^ Luigi
-
Would like to place a certain order about Mirage III 1/72 conversions as I doubt someone will ever release what I want and I what I need for a certain variant. I'm aware PJ Production it's sadly gone, but them...are still alive? Luigi
