  1. Hi, I served on Reso Starboard crew from Jan 89 to Mar 92. In 91 we did the longest dived patrol ever. we nearly ran out of beer!!!
  2. Hi Craig, checked it out not much info on the inner plyon, thanks anyway.Mick
  3. Hi all, Does anyone know what weapons could be carried on the inner pylon on a Swiss MK.58 Hawker Hunter. I know about the suda 81mm rockets. Cheers Mick
  4. Thank you, that makes life easier. cheers Mick
  5. Hi, were all Pink Panther armed with 2 GPMG or did they have a grenade launcher or .50 cal in the back. thank you Mick
  6. Hi Jari, have you a secret stash of photos
  7. I have both the Academy F-6 & FGA 9 in my stash. I have the Flightpath set I am going to use on the 9 in ADEN and I have just managed to get P&J MK58 Swiss AirForce conversion for the F-6. So your bulid is a must for me. Mick
  8. Hi Scott, I have not found any 1/72 scale 250lb depth charges, But Redroomodels do a British 450lb depth charge and Attack Squadron do the US 325lb MK xvii, also MK 54 350lb in 1/72 & 1/48. Belcher Bits do 1500lb mine and 250lb d/c set in 1/48 cheers Mick
  9. Hi again Jari. Great stuff. From what I read they where used after the depth charge attack. cheers Mick
  10. HI The B-24 Liberators Used by coastal command usually carried between 8-12 250lb depth charges and late war in addition carried 1 or 2 FIDOs. Just that the Lib only had one usable bombbay the other had a fuel tank. So where would the Fido's be located? cheers Mick
  11. I have just read that a Bulged Bombay mossie could only carry ONE 1500LB MINE. Cheers Mick
  12. Should have read size/weight. The 1500lb aerial mine had only one attachment location and is too heavy to attach to a normal mossie bombbay 500lb mount
  13. Hi, Mosquitos glass nose were used for minelaying, but only bulged bomb bays( I assume because of weight issues) could/did they carry 1 or 2 mines??? cheers Mick
  14. Thanks Jari. Those mission reports were very interesting. 2 mines it is. (I already have the B/B mines and depth charge set, just need the bus) thank you Mick
  15. Hi all, I was thinking of getting the 1/48 Trumpeter Welly 1c and turning it in to a minelayer. Considering max bomb load was 4500lb could or did they carry 3 of the 1500lb mines. Does anyone else do 1/48 scale mines except Belcher Bits, Cheers Mick
  16. Thank you, Academy it is.
  17. Hello. Which 1/350 Warspite kit is better Academy or Trumpeter? Thoughts Please. Cheers Mick
  18. Cheers guys thanks for the help.
  19. Hi, I was thinking of joining the Airfix Club and I notice different issues of Flying Hours Coupons on the kits I have, are they still all valid. Cheers Mick
