    1:700 type 42 destroyers

    in Maritime Cold War to 1990

    Posted

    Hi All,

    My first post in this section as I never realised it was here.

    I have a Smars 1:700 type 42, which appears to be identical to the revell 1:700 type 42.

    Does anyone know what all the spare parts on the sprues are for, is it to make the later batches.

    I have a dragon hms exeter due soon and wondered if it is also the same mould.

    Cheers

    Hi

    I am glad i posted the link to the photo seems to have started the curiosity, apologies if i have diverted this thread.

    I like the theory of a paint repair, but then why not use the correct camo paint colour for the area of the repair ? seems odd they are all the same different colour.

    cheers

    Hi

    My vote a B-17 but in RAF markings for 100 ( bomber support ) Group,

    A nice black one from 214 or 223 Sqdns ( forerunners of the ECM aircraft).

    cheers

    operation starkey markings

    in Aircraft WWII

    Posted · Edited by brewerjerry

    Hi All,

    For me a continuing quest, every so often I try to find out more about the operation starkey markings.

    I have the markings for the whirlwinds, bostons, spitfires, sorted out.

    Typhoons and Mustangs sorted, (thanks to past info from chris thomas & also from his excellent 2nd TAF series of books.)

    As I understand it the Mitchells carried no markings.

    First question did the Venturas carry markings.

    My next question is the american units.

    Has anyone seen any info/photos on the B-26 aircraft used, units were the 322d BG , 323d BG , 386th BG , 387th BG

    Cheers

    Hi

    Interesting as the profile is done for the date the L1000 crashed, 10-july-40, and the aircraft had always been with 610 since delivery in Oct 39, Likewise for K9959 with 72 sqn when it crashed on 26 aug-40, and had been with them since delivery, may 39.

    I suppose it is remotely possible that they never got repainted.

    I wonder if the profiler had access to photos of the crashed aircraft.

    Cheers

    Hi

    Just a thought, but the engine was a merlin XX power egg, as used by the beaufighter II,(etc), there might be a conversion out there for the revell 1/32 beaufighter which would give you the engine, and save a lot of work.

    I often wonder if this power egg is what westlands intended to use on the merlin whirlwind in 41.

    Cheers

    Hi

    I am going from memory, but when I went to Kew in the late 70's i came across a file called something like...bomber command loss register...It had seials codes, a/c i/d letter etc.

    Maybe a post on TOCH may help you.

    http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/forumdisplay.php?f=7

    or a post on RAF commands, but don't mention lost bombers website.........

    http://www.rafcommands.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=1

    also on Flypast there are regular visitors to Kew,some kind person may look it up for you.

    replacement 1/32 revell mosquito canopy

    in Aircraft WWII

    Posted

    Hi All,

    I seem to be specializing in cheap kits with no canopies...

    My latest purchase is a 1/32 revell mosquito, (a project for this winter), the canopy is missing, but the price was very good.

    Does anyone know if an after market canopy is available ?

    Failing this, I already have a complete kit, which I which i can use to help me mould a new one, or I might just try turning it into a fighter version.

    Cheers
