  1. This is great reference for fitting a scratchbuilt rotor brake to my current project while looking forward to using your parts in my next few builds !
  2. Looking forward to receiving these in due course. I am currently wrestling with the overhead panel on another Wessex project and can vouch for the amount of fettling that I have had to do to make it semi-fit.
  3. Steve, Short answer is 'Yes'. See the notes on the first page of this thread and contact Hendie direct with a PM. I have been in communication with him for a couple of weeks now as we put together a suitable package for my own Wessex projects.
  4. While it would not be top of my "they should do this" list, it is long overdue a new mould kit since the Hasegawa version is now showing its age despite H2K's best efforts to revive it. I just hope ICM focus on the production versions that actually saw combat since there are a host of interesting schemes out there for the Hs-129. I am confident ICM will do a good job since their kits continue to improve with each iteration, which is mighty impressive given the current situation in their country of origin (S U).
  5. Nice Foxbat !.......It is a beast too...........There is one in my local museum and I always wonder at its size when I visit. Well Done, Sir !
  6. Hi Folks, I've got several of the Eduard 'aftermarket' decal sheets (i.e. not from a kit) and having heard all of the 'challenges' associated with the decals they have included in their more recent kits, wondered if the former are similar to these or are of the more 'traditional' variety (i.e. do NOT require one to remove an outer layer of carrier film AFTER application ?). I have heard/seen mixed reviews about the more recent Eduard kit decals and would welcome hearing about any experiences (positive or negative) with their aftermarket decals. Many Thanks Mark
  7. Just checked my -30E and the windscreen is flawless but I'm not so sure about the canopy. They seem to have struggled with the complex curves and it looks like there are some flaws. Ali at Aerocraft Models may come to the rescue if there is sufficient demand, I would suggest !
  8. Yes, I have all of this since I have been researching Marcinkus for some time. I was, therefore, quite comfortable with understanding the hybrid markings applied to BD949 and just wanted to understand how I went about finding suitable Dull Red lettering/numbering in 1:48 scale. That said, the information on the lack of anti glare panels was useful as were the links to the Aviaelogy decal sheets. Thanks very much
  9. Unfortunately I do not have the time to scroll through 95 pages so please forgive me if the answer to my questions lies elsewhere in this thread !. I am planning to do a Hurricane Mk.IIC in the No 1 Sqn overall night scheme circa 1942 but NOT Kuttlewascher's JX-E. My plan is to do JX-J, which was flown by the only known Lithuanian Fighter pilot to serve in the RAF during WWII. I would like to know where I can obtain the Dark red Codes and serial numbers that would be needed to complete a model in 1:48 scale. The obvious way would be to buy two sheets covering decals for JX-E but this only addresses the large fuselage codes and not the serial numbers. Does any decal manufacturer produce suitable Red Codes/Serial Numbers in 1:48 scale ?. Thanks in anticipation
  10. Just wondered.....it had to be one of the two.....interestingly one of Desmond Norman's sons was in my Year at Bembridge School.
  11. Calling all Focke-Wulf Fw-190 experts. I'm looking to a future building project which involves a requirement for a Eduard 1:48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw-190F-8. I thought it would be relatively easy to find this kit but it isn't. Plenty of A model variants available with some at good prices but question is, can I produce the F-8 variant from one of these kits (A-4/5/7/8 etc ?), understanding that I will probably need some aftermarket items *bomb racks etc) ?
  12. Welcome aboard from a fellow former-Islander (now exiled in NE Europe). My late father was born in Cowes and I spent much of my childhood in Whitwell and Ventnor. I spent my last two years at school in Bembridge but my parents eventually sold up on the island in the early 1990s and moved to the mainland. Had some great times over there and regularly frequented the model shops in Ventnor, Shanklin and Ryde through the 70-90s.
