Aeronavale Lancaster Mk. 7 help needed
Junchan replied to Tony Whittingham's topic in Aircraft Cold War
Post-war Lancaster Colour Schemes section of Avro Lancaster in Military Service 1945-1965 by Martin Derry and Neil Robinson describes as follows; Initially the Lancasters were painted in a factory-applied overall dark royal blue scheme with AĆ©ronavale cocardes applied to all six positions, each narrowly outlined in yellow with a black anchor superimposed.

The Flight Manual instructs to set the WING SWEEP MODE switch to BOMB (55 deg. sweep) after landing and then set the EMERGENCY WING SWEEP handle to OV SW (68 deg. sweep) finally move the EMERGENCY WING SWEEP handle full aft to 75 deg. Therefore, normal wing sweep in the parked position is 75 deg, but it can be changed if necessary. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums/72157634239368919

F-4 Phantom tailplane - one unit or left and right assembly?
Junchan replied to Kari Lumppio's topic in Aircraft Cold War
As others mentioned, the tail plane is a one piece assy. This is a diagram from the F4H-1 Structure Manual. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums/72157632118461701 -

LS 1/72 Mitsubishi Ki-15 Kamikaze colour query.
Junchan replied to fightersweep's topic in Classic - up to 1968
Kamikaze was painted silver and blue. The best color reference is the instruction sheet of the Finemolds kit. https://www.scalemates.com/products/img/3/4/0/1162340-23-instructions.pdf Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/50057645552/in/album-72157692034513944/ -
The Mk. I does not have the identification lamps, but the Mk. II has them. The upward identification lamp is mounted at the top of the fuselage just forward of the fin, and the downward lamps is in the underside of the fuselage just forward of the service hatch. No need to add the identification lamps to the Airfix kit which depicts the Mk. I. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/8372406569/in/album-72157632492710747/

Compared the wings of the B-18 and DC-3 by placing a station diagram of the B-18 and the most reliable DC-3 drawing what I have in the same scale. https://rara.jp/image_view/3d903c17953f29b80d1988aa4f65586a/1005624792 As you see the center sections, Station 0 to 142, are the same except for the root fillet and the outer wings look the same up to Station 338.75 which is a breaking point of the wing tip. So you can use the DC-3 wings with the each wing tip shortened by 11.7 mm. Jun in Tokyo https://www.flickr.com/photos/horaburo/albums
