Hello All! At the moment, I am building a 1:48 Revell PV-1 Ventura. She will be one of planes located in Attu. So, will be in 2 tone blue+ white undersurfaces. Revell suggests that wheelbays and bomb bay should be be zinc chromate. But somewhere I had read NAVY never used zincc chromate on wheelbays and bomb bays on 3 tone camos. I will be very happy if someone enlights me. Best wishes, Flogger.

I am working on same kit at the moment. Better watch out the cockpit platform fits in slots in fuselage perfectly. Otherwise it causes some extra work on top /nose.

Thank you gents! You both saved my life!

G'day Gentlemen! I am currently building a 1:48 Tamiya Mosquito. I purchased An Extradecal sheet and intended to build SEAC one (HR399) in Dark earth-dark green clothes. I have 2 issues to be solved. 1- What sort propellers used that bird? Wide or narrow one? ( forgive me for my ignorance I am sure they have proper brand names; rotol, curtiss etc) 2- Has HR399 carried with strips under wings? I will be pleased if some may enlight me. Best wishes from Turkey. The Flogger

Thank you gents, I searched a bit more; seems like there were no diamond pattern wheel on RAF Fortress. I appreciate your kind responses. Wish all you a happy new year! Flggr

Good evening Gents! Currently building an 1:72 Airfix Fortress mk III, 2016 mould nice one. I didnt like kit wheels and purchased Eduard resin set. But later I realised that on internet, they used radial pattern wheels or many pictures were blurry. So, It will be wrong if I use diamond pattern wheels on British fortress Mk.III? Thanks for reading. Flogger

Like a candy!

Esci 1:48 F-104N was my 1:48 kit. I was in Secondary school. It was 1989 or 1990. You took me to past. Great build by way!

This is what I call 'cool

Hvala mnogo / thanks lot! Thank you very much Fubar.

Well your birds are way away from my era but I envy your works 😃 Thanks...

Sağolasın / thanks mate! 😃

It was a pleasure for me. Thanks for mind words.

I had lost the part allows flap down. Bended the one lets flap flat. A small surgery.

Thanks a lot,I am glad you liked. I bet your will be way better. I used Gunze black (which is semi gloss) and washed with gray oil paint. P-47M series arrived war scene lately and were not so worn. So I didnt weather it.

thanks a lot Tiger! I am honored with your words.

Thank you guys!

Thanks Steve. Honesty, all my purpose was complete it and save from shelf of doom. Someday I will try one 'insignia blue-azure blue' version.

Thanks Homer...

Ooo great! Must be boxing numbered 8066. If I were you I wud build profile B,the one flown in Tunisia. Please keep us updated while you build it. Byway, I forgot to thank you for your kind words

What version you do have Neil?

Thanks Jackson... As you said Tamiya decals need some extra treatment but mostly they turn OK at the end.

This kit was a great member of my 'shelf of doom' for more than a decade. Somehow, one evening I decided to complete. This was the result. I don t know what I had kept her so long but I managed to finish. In 2021 we will need more space in our stashes,ha? Kit is Tamiya with colored seatbelts. Kits's decal were used. I admit I always hated Tamiya decals but this time they worked fairly.It was a quick build took almost 10-11 years.. Regards.

Wouww! Liked the camo and over all. Welldone!

Hello guys, this is one of 2 kits I managed to completenew year's eve. Eduard's well known P-39 kit wirh Eduard's steel seatbelts. Gunze paints were used. Thanks for looking!
