Thank you, Neil! I've always thought those GR.V's looked great in that Coastal Command camouflage. Well, to re-use an old joke, looks like I picked a bad year to quit buying Airfix Liberators. Best Regards, Jason -
So, can the B-24D be turned into a GR.V? Without too much trouble, I mean. Best Regards, Jason

I may just have to nick your idea, Adrian! Sounds like a good one to me. Best Regards, Jason

I've been thinking of building an F-100, also. Adrian, I've looked at dozens (hundreds?) of photographs of Vietnam Huns, and I've found a few pictures where the slats are up on the ground. That's good enough for me! I'll be interested to see how you tackle the exhaust burning as it's so difficult to reproduce in scale but so very typical of the F-100. Good luck on yours! Regards, Jason

1:72 Avro Manchester Mk.I/Mk.Ia *not quite FINISHED*
Learstang replied to Dunny's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Beautiful work on the Manchester! Right, now with one recently finished (Heather's fine model) and another Manchester conversion nearly complete, what more do you want, Airfix? The proper offerings have been made to the Modelling Gods - time to get off your bums and give us a kit of the Manchester! (And a Lincoln whilst you're at it.) Regards, Jason -
Brilliant job on that K-4! Probably my favourite version of the Bf 109. Regards, Jason

Yes, that's the problem with books, isn't it. You not only pay for the book but for all the kits you want to buy after looking at the book. Best Regards, Jason

Nice work! I also did Galchenko's aircraft, but I did it with the white patches. I'm glad you're following Massimo's research - he really knows his stuff. Even though it wasn't that great of a fighter, I've always thought the LaGG-3 was an attractive little aeroplane. Yours is looking good. I should get back to mine (two of them), if I can find them! By the way, I think the square hole was for a camera. Regards, Jason

Dennis (Corsairfoxfouruncle), thank you for the purchase of my book! I hope it helps you out. Best Regards, Jason

You're doing a good job with this kit! You are correct that the profusion of parts for different versions does lead to some dodgy fit, but I built this kit, and the result was a rather nice-looking model. If I can make a nice-looking model out of it, I'm certain you can also. Shameless Self Promotion: I believe someone put out a book with some nice camouflage schemes of the Lavochkin fighters. Shameless Self-Promotion. Regards, Jason

It does look sinister like this! Great work, Alistair! I suppose I need to get to work on mine someday, but I'll at least wait until you finish yours to see how it's done. Regards, Jason

Brilliant work on the Hurricane! I like the ones with those 40-mm cannons. I believe the Soviets used a few - I'd like to do one of those (in 1/72nd scale, I'm afraid!). Your Hurricane will look great when finished (it already does, to be honest). Regards, Jason
-
And that wonderfully tatty green camouflage! Regards, Jason

Hello Jason,
I am researching the stationing of Soviet Guards Fighter Regiments in Austria 1945-1949.
Do you have info which of them were based in Austria, and where?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Airfix Henschel Hs129 - 1/72

Very nice indeed! For an old kit, she scrubs up well. I too built this kit, the version with the gigantic cannon, 'back in the day'. Regards, Jason
