This turns out to be much ado about nothing. Due a sleep-deprived brain, I confused the first topic in the 3D Makerspace forum, which is also titled 3D Makerspace, as the entire forum. All is well. My apologies to the administrators and any others who were confused by my semiconsciousness.

For interior details of the TV Airwolf, see here: https://web.archive.org/web/20140803111601if_/http://projects.airwolf.tv/resources/manual03.html Note the “Manual Page” menu to the left.

Well, I haven’t changed any settings. But I was able to find the missing posts using the Search function. And they were clearly missing from the forum. There was approximately a one-year gap between some posts and a “One year later” announcement preceding the most recent post. Very weird.

I thought that “posts from the past year” was clear enough, but they have strangely re-appeared since I enquired. Thank you.

Posts from the past year, from some with products for sale, have disappeared from this forum. What’s going on?

How does one contact Heritage? I assume you’re talking about Heritage Aviation Models Ltd., but their website returns a nasty “FORBIDDEN! We cannot serve this page to you!” notice.

Seems like there are a lot of previous posts missing from this forum. What’s up?

Following this with interest, as I was recently fortunate to locate the Combat Kits “Snoopy” conversion kit. How would I contact Mr. Kidson about obtaining a copy of his book?

When I try to access that link, I’m asked for a login code. 😧

I’ve never had any luck contacting him, and his internet domain name is for sale. I’ve given up trying to purchase any of his products.

One of the Minicraft 1/144 DC-3 kits included Wright Cyclone engines. Look for the TWA “Lindberg Line” boxing.

Just placed an order!

Received my Red Roo upgrade kit a few days ago, and it looks quite nice.

Here you can find some good references, including an official Douglas model drawing, which is the best reference I have found for improving any DC-9 kit: http://aviationarchives.blogspot.com/search?q=DC-9&m=1

They don’t make any money for Clear Prop, however.

I’m surprised to hear that a Bentley drawing contains inaccuracies. I’ve always considered him one of the best draftsmen .

These kits also call out for some scale landing gear. Should be simple to do in photoetch (hint, hint)!

Don’t use black; it’s too stark. What you want is a shadow of the body color. I mix a thin wash of dark gray Tamiya, water, and a drop of liquid dish-washing soap and apply it sparingly with a thin brush and let capillary action spread it into the door jambs, letting it dry. I then repeat until I get the effect I’m looking for, which is a darker shade of the body color. Study your full-scale automobile to see what you should try to achieve.

Howdy from the Dallas-Fort Worth “Metroplex” in what Billy Bishop called one of Canada’s “southern provinces.” 🤠

Oh, my poor aching credit card!

What is the best book on the Hunter that includes details of the various differences between marks and hopefully includes some good scale drawings?

I want to build a model of Spencer Flack’s G-HUNT. I understand that this aircraft was/is an F.51, an export version of the F.4. What would be the best kit in 1/72 scale? I’m thinking of using a Revell F.6 with modified wing leading edges, but are there other alternatives?

Welcome from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex! I have cousins in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Farmington, and Silver City. And make mine green, please! 🤠

Their shipping costs to the US are eye-watering as well, but shipping is fast and secure.

Broplan makes vac kits of both the P.166 and the P.136. The P.136 was marketed in the US as the “Royal Gull,” and about 50 or so were assembled or built in the US by the Kearney and Trecker machine tool company.
