Your resin cockpit is too far forward. You are supposed to remove a piece from the kit's aft bulkhead behind the head rest and the have the thin round edge fit flush up against the bulkhead. HTH, Jens

Danish Westland Lynx - HobbyBoss 1/72 --- FINISHED ---
Jens replied to desert falcon's topic in Nordic GB
The main interior colour on the Danish Lynx was medium grey. I suspect it to be Dark Admiralty Grey, but I am not sure. The floor was pale plywood with medium grey framing. The passenger seat with red cushions are actually an extra fuel tank. Jens -
Danish Westland Lynx - HobbyBoss 1/72 --- FINISHED ---
Jens replied to desert falcon's topic in Nordic GB
That's right. We retired the Lynx a couple of years ago but there are things that I still remember about the Lynx. It's the other way around; the Mk. 80s had folding tails while the Mk. 90Bs had fixed tails. Jens -
RF-4Es are pretty simple when it comes to nose profiles. At least it's not a mess as on the RF-4C. All German RF-4Es had the angled nose profile (blocks 45-47). Some were later sold to Greece and Turkey, but they retained their original noses. IDF/AF RF-4Es block 45 possible had the angled nose profile (I have confirmed some of them). All in the IDF/AF colour scheme. IDF/AF RF-4Es block 63 possible all had the rounded nose profile. All in Compass Ghost scheme. IIAF RF-4Es block 48 possible had the angled nose profile (I have confirmed one of them). IIAF RF-4Es blocks 61, 62 and 68 possible all had the rounded nose profile. All Greek RF-4Es block 66 had the rounded nose profile. All Turkish RF-4Es block 66 had the rounded nose profile. All JASDF RF-4Es have the rounded nose profile. HTH, Jens

Nope, there are no 2019 airshows planned for this year. Jens

Fw 190A-4 of Nowotny´s devils chain from 1./JG54

Thanks. I like the way the colours work together. Jens -
This site is bursting with information on Danish aircraft, especially the Dash 1½ on the F-100: http://www.tinbox.dk/da-main.htm HTH, Jens

Beautiful model! I love the way you have executed the paint scheme. What colours did you use for the camo? Jens -
André, I have some Hasegawa F-4Gs for sale. Postage from Denmark to Sweden might not be that expensive. Jens

I find it most likely that the starboard wing was in the 71/02/65 scheme. Here's my take on it from before decals and masks were available: Jens
-
Those Falcon rails are mostly just lumps of plastic. However, AFAIK they are the only ones available in that scale. Beware that 'EJ Kai' kits are not just standard early F-4Es. They have different wing tips and fin tip (the latter being a seperate part though). I recently put up a lot of my Hasegawa Phantoms (almost all versions) for sale. Postage from Denmark is ridiculous though. Jens
-
You can get them from Denmark. Jens

It certainly wasn't LGG either. Lima Sidenwinders are/were FS36375 light ghost grey. Jens
-
FS codes are likely to be more correct than colour names. That said, BS codes are the correct thing to use for (most) British aircraft. As for brush painted aircraft... Good luck replicating brush strokes that do not look out of scale. Jens
-
The Italeri Phantoms - both 1/72 and 1/48 - have horrible outlines. Something is clearly wrong with them, but I think it's in so many places that it would be a waste of time to correct. Go with the Esci kits if you cannot find the Hasegawa kits. Jens

I always have some Skyhawks in progress so why not join this STGB... I'm in. Jens

This is an interesting and informative thread, since I have the same kit and same e wing conversion set. Jens

Thanks Mike, I really appreciate it. Jens
-
Thanks for the comments. The kit decals are a bit on the thick side but they behaved well in warm water. Jens

Don't make me need more Drakens! Please! Jens

Thank you for all the positive words. Although used for QRA I still don't count the two Austrian special schemes as operational schemes. That said, I think I have to build the Ostarrichi version some day. I can only think of three operational schemes from Sweden; natural metal, grey and the one I have made here. The splinter scheme is very attractive, but that was only a test. Was there another scheme too? Thanks David. I prefer a more subtle weathering than sometimes seen on models. Perhaps it's my personal knowledge on aircraft maintenance that shines through. The kit decals behaved nicely on both models. The trick is to use hot water - at least it was for me. Jens
-
Thanks for the comments. The Draken sure is beautiful. It's a pity there are so few operational schemes for it though. Jens
-
Thank you all for the comments. It's the best looking jet right after the F-4 and the F-104. You're absolutely right! Why on earth didn't I notice that when I checked my reference pictures?! 😕 Jens
