Question for the Skyraider gurus, does anyone make an aftermarket Skyraider propeller in 1/72 scale? I have exhausted all avenues of searching and I have run into a blank wall. I can get just about anything else for the Skyraider except a propeller from the mainstream aftermarket producers. I need two to replace the anaemic ones in the Fujimi kits. Thanks for your help Phil

Really nice models. Love the RAAF schemes.

Ladies and Gent, As the title suggests I'm after the correct seatbelt configuration for the seatbelts in the FR XIVe. I have the Eduard etched RAF seatbelt set which has two versions on it and I would like to know which one to use for this model. I have done a search on this site and haven't found any info, I have also done a Google search and got zip. Thanks for your help Phil

Of interest, what colours for the Brown and Green would the Germans have used for the overpainting on this aircraft? Thanks Phil Canberra - The Nation's Capital.

Here's some Red Roo decals for 451 & 453 SQN RAAF https://www.redroomodels.com/product/red-roo-spitfire-mk-xive-451-sqn-raaf-1945-1-72/ https://www.redroomodels.com/product/red-roo-spitfire-mk-xive-453-sqn-late-war-1-72/ https://www.redroomodels.com/product/red-roo-spitfire-mk-xive-falconer-451-sqn-1946-1-72/

You cannot build an A-10C from this kit. There are very badly done aerials for the GPS dome and Comms, the aerials and other bits on the lower fuselage are incorrect for the C, as is the ECM/ESM fit. Hasegawa's later releases have captured the changes more correctly and produced better replacement aerials. This is basically the Italeri A model with two new parts, being the undersized GPS dome and a very undersized Sat Comm top aerial for the standard upright rather than sloped Sat Comm aerial.

According to my sources at RedRoo, the 72nd scale versions of these are licenced to DKdecals, but they haven't looked like publishing them yet. If you contact RedRoo, they may have some more upto date info. HTH Phil

1/48 or 1/72 scale? Available here in 48th. https://www.redroomodels.com/product/red-roo-77-sqn-meteor-nose-art-korea-pt-1-1-48-scale/

Great job and looked great in real life last week.

Nice model and base. How did the CTA decals perform?

Top job. I have a couple of these kits and was just going the do the Bengals' and Viking's aircraft. but now I might have to sacrfice another one for this scheme.

Tremendous build. The only small picky point is that the RH gearbox cowl at the front is a lower more tapered lump. See Aerial shot of A10-602 here http://www.adf-serials.com.au/3a10.htm. I had 10 years of removing and replacing that cowl doing servicings on these aircraft. Cheers Phil

Gents, Thanks for all the replies. I think I now have enough info to graft a couple in 72nd scale for my build. Murph, the aircraft I am modelling does have them fitted. 😁 Cheers Phil Canberra - The Nation's Capital Australia

Gents, there is a lady in Victoria, Australia that has a hanger with a stack of the real ones in it in their original Rhodesian colours. If you contact her at Tyabb Airport in Victoria, I'm sure she would help. I may have some photos from my visit there years ago that may have a few photos of one of them on display. I'll look tomorrow. Phil
