  1. I am currently building the Airfix B-24 in natural metal finish and comparing kit instructions with the following photo, there are a few points I'd like cleared up if possible: http://www.americanairmuseum.com/aircraft/19613 1 In the photo, the aircraft does not appear to have de-icers fitted. 2 The "greyed-out" markings don't seem to apply to the port wing uppersurface. 3 The cowlings in the photo seem to be painted. 4 The starboard upper wing surface appears to show a Bomb Group marking, but this doesn't in the kit instructions. Another puzzle is that in many photos of B-24s taken on the ground, the aircraft appear to have had the nosewheel doors removed Any comments on these matters would be welcome Syke
  2. Paul Is this the one you're planning? http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/preww2/fordhambulldog.htm Regards Pat
  3. Thanks a lot for that. I did, in fact, get a photocopy from someone else, but what is interesting is that on that sheet the serial is shown as K-1081, on the one you sent it's K-2215 and and on my kit's decals (which I've just unearthed) the serial is K-2158. So it looks as though this kit has had quite a few changes of identity. Regards Pat Macguire
  4. That's great. Thanks a lot. If you need anything like old decals or bits (i have quite a large spares box!), just let me know. Regards Syke E-mail: [email protected]
  5. I have (I hope) most of the parts of a Bulldog which I would quite like to build. I don't have the instructions though, and wondered if any kind person in this group might be able to supply same? Regards Syke

  7. That's cleared that up then. Thanks both for taking the time. Regards Syke
  8. I had just ordered one of these online when I noticed that the box, which was the new red style and had the new box art, had only one side view (the silver Russian one) Horrified that I would get the old, original, Airfix Mig, I cancelled the order. Now I see that there seems to be mix of this boxing and the one with the three decal versions, which is what I wanted. Can anyone explain this apparent anomaly? Regards and thanks in advance, Syke
