Thanks for letting me know. I will find another solution - probably using the old SAM articles and Mike Keep profiles as reference. I will design and cut masks for the markings then. Jens

The sheet I have is the Aztec 48-048 sheet. Jens

I already have both decals for a Falklands HAS.2 and a plotter so that I can cut my own masks. I just need to decide on a specific airframe (and get the kit). Thanks for your replies. Jens

This might be a bit premature with the new Airfix Sea King having just been announced yesterday, but would it be possible to build a Falklands HAS.2 (specifically the dark green '97') directly form this kit? I know one of the main differences is the number of tail rotor blades, but that parts has been covered in the kit. So, anything else? TIA, Jens

It looks like it if Wikipedia is to be trusted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Prince_of_Wales_(53)#/media/File:Prince_of_Wales-1.jpg Jens

I sure does from this angle. Question is whether it really is a c wing or just a incorrectly restores museum piece (that wouldn't be a first). Jens

Nice job on your IDF Spits! I remember having read that some of the ex-Italian Spitfires were Mk. IXc, but I simply cannot find a picture of a c-winged IDF Spit to prove it. Have you come across such picture? Thanks. Jens

Except our F-104s and CF-104s were NOT painted with the Canadian dark green colour. We used our own, which was prone to fading. Jens

It is fairly easy to tell a Type A1 roundel (as in the instructions) from a C1 roundel (as in the pictures). Jens

The dimensions and type of roundel perhaps?! Jens

I read somewhere - probably on HS - that the Curtis cockpit green was much like FS34159. I painted my P-40 cockpits with that colour, and I must say it looks good compared to contemporary colour pictures. Jens

Most Israeli Spitfires had the e wing. Some of ex-Italian ones might have been IXc, but it's hard to find a conclusive picture. Jens

The wings are not natural metal on top, that's for sure. OP asked for an overall NM Fw190. Jens

No, not to my knowledge. Jens

The Danish cockpits were green - something in the FS34092 range. I believe my old thread with RF-35 pictures are still in here somewhere. Jens

The picture with the Fw190 and the Schwimmwagen is not from WWII. It's from a modern day show. Jens

I think I peaked at around 2000 kits, but I have reduced my stash a bit since. It's still counting 1500+ kits though. Jens

I know, but I figured you could be inspired to do the conversion in 'your' scale. Jens

You're welcome, Nils. The MH-60R is a great helicopter. We just need some new-tooled 1/72 and 1/48 kits. Meanwhile, Olimp once made a conversion kit for a 1/72nd scale kit. It looks rather rough but AFAIK it's the only game in town. Jens

While it might be the best F-16A around, it is not without its faults. First of all, the nose/radome seems to lack about 1 mm in height. Second, the fin base is much too wide around the rudder. Third, the Danish decals are incorrect. Go with Lima November decals instead. I am currently measuring the fin base in order to correct it. I am not sure the nose area is easily corrected. Jens

Nils, perhaps this build thread (in Danish) can help you: https://www.danskemodelbyggere.dk/forum/index.php?topic=6162.0 Jens

I'm interested. Jens

I just found a newer TCTO. They J models are now painted FS36132 (same colour but matt finish). Jens

I just checked the Technical Order, and Bjarne is correct. The Danish C-130 are (and were) FS26132. Note the H models weathered badly, so it was easy to see which ones had the upgraded cockpit and which one didn't. Jens

I would recommend Tamiya AS-12. It's a spray can, but it can also be de-canted and used through an airbrush. Jens
