  1. Couple of seconds? You got answered at 12:39 and posted here 14:30-ish...

     

    The described way is the only way unless you have access to some fancy lathe or 3D milling equipment. Using a hobby saw will never get you a cut good enough to ensure a good alignment of the mating surfaces.

  2. After some more digging I found this info here. I didn't go through all pages: https://www.mycity-military.com/Avioni/G-2-Galeb-J-21-Jastreb_167.html

    I assume the same applies to the NJ-21

     

    Basic differences are
    - three machine guns, Galeb has two
    - six pylons for HVAR 5 ”rockets, Galeb has four
    - larger tip tanks
    - stronger construction
    - stronger landig gear
    - breaking parachute
    - Viper 532 is more powerful than Viper 22-6
    Jastreb is light attac aircraft, Galeb is a jet trainer.

  3. Please take these so called exact matches with a few grains of salt: I have got 3 tins of Xtracolor X123 "Blue Angels blue", 2 are labelled FS15050, 1 as FS15052 and none of the 3 match each other when sprayed. Same product number, different results. Go figure.

     

    As stated in my first post Xtracolor also has a paint for the Hornet 1999 season: X163. I have not tried that (yet). On the Hannant's page it looks lighter than X123. No Blue Angels colors in the Xtracrylics range.

  4. Not sure about the requested squadron but these are for 401st TFW birds that I could find:

    Microscale 72-176 F100D

    Microscale 72-546 F16A

    Superscale 72-609 F16C

    Superscale 72-501 F16A

    Superscale 72-546 F16A

    Wolfpack 72-120 F4E

    Aerodecal 25A F4E

    Xtradecal X72072 F4D

     

    I found a 612TFS F100F sheet:

    Caracal CD72071 F100F

     

    That's all folks!

    Brilliant work! Can you do the same for 'Blue Impulse' types too? Ha!

    Sure!

     

    T4

    Gunze C380, C381, C382 (FS15180, FS17925, FS36440)

     

    T2

    Gunze C1 (or your favourite bright white), C322, C323

     

    F86

    Gunze C1 (or your favourite bright white), C323

  6. The FCM suggested colors seem to be OK, finding model paint equivalents is something else. In the online FCM instructions the grey is stated as 36495, not 36307:

    FS35184

    http://www.colorserver.net/showcolor.asp?fs=35184

     

    There is a build on ARC that uses Gunze C338, Gunze EC-20 and Testors 2132:

    Edit:

    FS36306 is close to RAL7030 Stone Grey

    FS35184 is close to Flanker blue/grey

    FS36495 is readily available

     I'm going to search for detailed cockpit and IP pics, because these Phantoms were upgraded to the AUP version and they sport quite some differences in the office from the original version. 

    There are many notable differences on the outside too, but I'll get to them later.

    Here you go:
