Will, I have plenty of F5 references if you need any, quite happy to send CD, also have some 1/48th decals of his aircraft, don't think we have 1/72, but have plenty of French Air Force decals if you need any. [email protected] Colin

Dan, Have much in common with you, Vietnam, fascinating subject....... Both reality and models. Unfortunately all my models are 1/48, so cannot comment on 1/72nd. Fair bit of info you may find useful, let alone running the IPMS(UK) Decal Bank.... So may be able to help with them... Give me an email at, [email protected] Can send you some stuff that might help with your interest. This any use...? http://ipmsuk.proboards.com/index.cgi?boar...amp;thread=6404 Colin

Martin, Pretty sure we have some. Definitely got roundels and some codes etc, Give me an email at, [email protected] Colin

Interesting subject. Must admit I am a fan of displaying an aircraft model on it's wheels, but thought I'd add a post illustrating a couple of ideas that I have seen and thought were quite novel. Not quite WWII, but I hope it adds to the subject and gives some thought to all that see this. Bit of a Swiss theme here as well, firstly a display many of you may have already seen "in the flesh" at Telford. Seb in the background, nice idea I thought using the smoke to cover the supporting structure, and yet giving an imposing display. The second, is something again some of you may have seen in years gone by.. A display that when I, and others saw it, could not believe. Throughout it's display on the Recce SIG stand in 2006, people were looking for the wires supporting it. Believe me there are none..... The SR71 does indeed have a steel pole supporting it at the rear of the model, but the KC135 is supported only by the steel in the refuelling boom. Yes just the boom, look closely and just marvel at the thought of the structure, engineering, and modelling skill required.. Closer image, just look no bending....... and that is supporting the weight of the KC135 model....! Of course all the weight goes back through the SR71 model, which has a supporting structure within it, and is then transferred through the upright to the base. Amazing.... Made by, (hope I have this right?), Andy Nydegger of the Swiss IPMS, a group of modellers who, in my opinion make some of the nicest models I have seen.....! Colin

Ed, They seem to have had transmitter aerial fitted to the nose glazing and receivers fitted to port wing at least. I have a drawing and a couple of poor photos if interested, from the 'In Action' book. Colin

Simon, Hope this helps...? Once you have a mould, feel free to send it to me, I have the best part of 2Kg of casting resin sat here with no plans to use it, so am quite happy to cast some for you........ Colin

Might be able to help..... [email protected] Colin

Ed, Got some information that might help, and one photo, N2309, coded B, I believe to be grey/green. Shows some detail of eqpt. Give me an email at, [email protected] Can email them back to you. Colin

Just in case you do not have what you want, I have that decal sheet.... Colin [email protected]

Previous thread on PC6 Turbo Porters...... http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...hl=turbo+porter Colin

I'm no expert either..... However, the Mosquito wing centre section, whole span, was constructed as a single piece, the leading edge sections were added afterwards, so you do get a slight bulge over the joint between the two, but not with the trailing edge flaps and ailerons... Got some photos, and references, any one want on CD, give me an email at, [email protected] ..and I can send a CD, useful stuff, will help if making a model...! Colin

John, You can always give me an email at, [email protected] Colin

Give me an email at, [email protected] Might be able to provide you all you need. A picture of what you want to do would be good. Colin

Hugo, Might be able to help...? Pretty sure I have some.. Give me an email at, [email protected] Colin

Give me an email, should be able to send you some references... [email protected] Colin

Tony, Only got a couple of them, and they look quite like the Victor pod, you are welcome to them, email me at [email protected] can then send attachments. Colin

Klear, Great stuff, used it on models, floors and even my granite kitchen work tops...... Lovely, seals, creates great gloss finish, what is there not to like....? Brushing is OK, just make sure no bits in it, spraying is best, must admit my wife did wonder what I was doing 'spraying' worktops, but when it dried, she knew exactly why I did it........! Great stuff. Colin

Dear All, Wanting to build a Canso, I.E Catalina aircraft, as used by FIDASE, (Falklands Islands Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition) in 1955 to 1957. the 2 aircraft were chartered from Hunting Aerosurveys.
