  1. Be aware that those colours tend to fade a lot after some months of service MB
  2. Nice...I like it very much.. Would have been nice to make the engines' front lip as a separate part. (the central engine gets this treatment I believe..) MB
  3. Hello, I've been working on this kit for the last couple of weeks. I haven't noticed any sink marks on the wings. As for the armament, I intend to use some of the sets made for the Lancaster. HTH MB
  4. Also check if you have "flat" main gear doors...F-15E's have bigger wheels, with bulged main doors (the two forward ones); B/D's have thinner main wheels with flat main gear doors. MB
  5. Funny to see that the Finnish Hawks are still using the swiss stencils 🙂 MB
  6. 🙂 🙂 Glad I didn't buy the Mach2 kit...(mostly because I already have both the Welsh and Authentic Airliners kits...)
  7. Thanks Jack...yes I have those interesting books, that's were my information came from...was just hoping someone could confirm the bulged bomb bays were identical to the S.2B ones (not obvious from pics) Anyway I could always build my kit as a "non-upgraded" one Marc
  8. Hello, In 1975 the SAAF bought modification kits to upgrade part of their Buccaneer fleet. One of these modifications was the fitment of a bulged bomb door. Known as Mod.607 at Hawkers, the new door included an 1955L fuel tank. Was this bulged door the same as the one fitted to the RAF S.2B (I don't think so..) ? It is difficult to make a definitive conclusion by looking at pictures, so could anyone offer a definitive answer please ? Thank you Marc
  9. Post-war the French industry had to use large stocks of german paints,...so perhaps good old RLM02 ? MB
  10. I toyed with the idea, but there seems to be slight size differences with the width and height of the fuselage, for instance. Mating the Paragon fuselage plug to the HK fuselage would require a lot of work, so I decided it would be beter to use the "old" Tamiya kit for the conversion, and to build the HK kit as a Lancaster...plenty of interesting versions and markings. HTH Marc PS I even purchased the Sanger kit to see if it would be possible to mate the Paragon ( and some Tamiya-) parts to it 😲
  11. Out of curiosity, which hobby shops did you visit ? (if the list is not too long 😉 ) MB
  12. Paul, Here maybe ? https://www.welshmodels.co.uk/accessories.html MB
  13. Hello, Some good reading.. https://www.belgian-wings.be/brewster-b-339 HTH MB
  14. yeah....the SHAR pilots will be surprised as well MB
