Oh, do you know any Luftwaffe a/c with anti-glare panels? But most Luftwaffe a/c as Mannes by two or more crews had curtains! Whatever you look for. No Ju-88, Dornier 17/217 He-111/177 had anti-glare panels on the cowli gs inboatd. This is from US with pure metall nacells! Happy modelling

Hallo @Jase53, you are right. I oversaw this issue, since the kit decals have also the Marine version with dome! It was from my input, a flat inquiry, but I never had so confusing information as on this a/c! Happy modelling

Hallo Yes @Toryu, this is correct! Trainer only, maybe at the last time peride without overpainting to become operative in 1945. But nothing else! Happy modelling

Hallo Well, thank you for your praise. I will keep it in my mind for the future helicopters I will build. My modelling is now on a full stop, since I take an intensive language course on Chinese. Full time at university in my age. I am the very senior. But anyway, my Japanese helps me a little. Crazy things besides modelling! In September I will go on with modelling at full speed again.

Hello Some logical system thoughts: I would like to address a complete contradiction in the design requirements. It's a logical contradiction, evident from previous incidents. It only has to do with the requirements placed on the system suppliers. The client wants an unfulfillable wish to be realized. This is impossible to fulfill. It concerns the FADEC of the 787. Sensors (More than one) transmit data indicating whether the aircraft is on the ground or airborne. It works perfectly when all sensors are functioning correctly. If one or more sensors fail, making it impossible to clearly assign a ground/air status, the program must use the default value. There are only two possibilities: ground or air. The pilot is not allowed to intervene because of the autonomous system. He can not set the correct setting with a switch. During the ANA incident, the engine wouldn't shut down once already on ground. Perhaps the default was changed afterward? In any case, such an autonomous system is logically always subject to errors. Any sensor can fail. 3 sensors on the gear have as pattern the possibility: 0 0 0 or 1 1 1. For 0 1 0 / 1 1 0 / 0 1 1 etc., the default is drawn! That's the dilemma that exists. The sleeping wolf! It always bites! Happy modelling

Hallo This is an Osprey V-22B in 1/48 from the HobbyBoss kit. Decals from Leatherneck. Actually the built is straight forward. I used masks from NewWare and Reskit. The NewWare masks have an issue: The sealing is wrongly designed. The corners are sharp edged instead with a radius. The same sealing issue I had at the AH-1 also. The Reskit masks are in this case more correct, but also not correct. The sealing in the corner is a radius, but it does not meet the frame at the corner. So you have glass in between the radius at 45° and the corner! This little matter can spoil the outlook of the canopy! I decided to use this decals. The instruction for painting is weird. I had no clue what the topside looks like. The decal instruction does not meet the kit instructions anyway. I tried to get in contact with the person behind, but I failed. The website does not show any contact address, nor got my retailer an sufficient answer. I tried again with an email address I got, but returned was a mailer demon. I gave up and tried my best anyway. So you may have a look: Happy modelling

Hallo The Z-19 is from the Trumpeter kit in 1/48. The built was actually more pleasant as the AH-1 from Special Hobby. The instruction are straight out, the instruction manual also. In the web you find enough pictures and information about this helicopter. So, I enjoyed the built. You may have a look: Happy modelling

Hallo This AH-1 1/48 is from the Special Hobby kit. The built of this model was not so simple. The model by itself does not look difficult. During the built I had some fitting issues. Design issues too. But I tried to get a positive result. So you may have a look: Happy modelling

Hallo Yes, @wellsprop, it is a hoax. But, if we analyse this report, it is not true, can it become true? Are the throttles that way configurated? If this is the case, it is the pattern of a furure accident! Analyze the words of a jester, something may be true! On the 787 there is so much speculation, related also from the fact that the operation manual is not available on the web! In opposition the 350 manual is online! Happy modeling

Hallo Is this true? https://punchng.com/pilots-faulty-seat-caused-air-india-crash-report-reveals/ Happy modelling

Hallo Ju 88 kits from ICM have a wrong cockpit interior. Read ALL also the WIP! Happy modelling

Hallo https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/air-india-plane-crash-black-box-of-787-dreamliner-to-be-sent-to-us-for-data-recovery-recorders-sustained-heavy-damage/articleshow/121946372.cms This is a bad new. Hope that the data can be read! Happy modelling

Hallo I read all the comments here on our forum. I am very concerened and shocked about what happened. It is an accident too much. This year I had the chance to fly very long distance with the 350, years before with the 787. Since I am very interested in this two types, I looked for design differences and why. I also looked at the fault history of the 787. What we know today for sure and quite sure is: https://simpleflying.com/passenger-video-air-india-boeing-787-8-power-malfunctions/ Flight DEL-AMD two hours before the start to London and crash. This particular aircraft had propably the air conditioning on the flight DEL-AMD not working. The aircraft may have had major electrical problems. But this problems were either not forwarded from thew cabin crew to the flight crew or neglected. This neglection of such minor electrical problem creates we may know from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Flight_111 The history of the 787 program in analyses: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1000936120300546 What we know also is the history of electrical faults on this type. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/05/boeing-787-dreamliners-contain-a-potentially-catastrophic-software-bug/ The option for an electrical failure and / or software failure are high. The puzzles of a catastrophe....? Happy modelling

Hallo @tempestfan, logic point for fuel! Bravo. I read about Las Vegas airport hot condition and airlines, which do not go there with the 787 in a special configuration, due to TOW and hot condition. What was the TOW of the inflicted a/c? So: What is the normal take off of a 787 to London from the same airport in India? And what is the take off on a video? A video could tell us more. Since as a question of TOW and weather condition: The thrust of the engine is limited. If the exhaust temperatures rises, the engine idles back. A special setting for special local weather conditions? Unknown to us? Happy modelling

Hallo In this case, the engines may have sucked some of debris, or whatever. It would be conform with the message of the pilot, loosing thrust after take off! BTW: The flightcrew consisted of 2 pilots for a 0950 hours flight! Is this conform with international rules? I learned that 0800 is the limit. On the other hand: We learned that the aircondition and some other electrical equipment did not work properly on the first leg of cruise of this particular aircraft the same day. So: Most airlines would have taken such an aircraft out of service or taken off after repair. lt is a matter of quality of s airline, if this video is realy true! Happy modelling

Hallo From the data profile: The aircraft was for two hours at the ground before take off again. The aircondition of the today one of the best airliner of the world should be able to cope with temperatures at 40°C. Today I read, that a new video exists were the RAT is down, but does not spin anymore! The bang, does the RAT causes such a sound when deployed? The imense claud of sand or anything else before lift of, what could this be? Was the runway littered? Happy modelling

Hallo Now my decision is there: VMM-163 MV-22B BuNo 168004 YP03 MCAS Minamar CA October 2015 https://www.flyingleathernecksdecals.com/search?query=mv-22 Now I am looking desperatly for a top view of this a/c. Since there is non available on the web. The instructions do not give me any hint. Does anyone have some reliable source or photo to show the top side of wing and fuselage? Thanks in forward. Happy modelling

Hallo The reality was that sub-assembled parts were produced all over. All over the German controlled area of Europe. Shipped by all kind of: Truck and railway and assembled at launch sites. Thie number of subs changed over time! Due to allied bombing efforts. Production sites were also new underground sites. You may check out: Geheimprojekte.at Happy modelling

Just wondering about such words...you may not consider...a lot. Stay on modelling! Peace is the only thing we need. In words, in our mind and not stuck back in historry and checking the bill! Happy modelling
