Hi modeller friends, Currently onto my third (3rd) MiniArt jug, I’m considering the P-47D-30 of 397th FS/ 368th FG, flown by 1st Lt Clifford Price in 1945. According to my research in the web, the plane should look like this: well in accordance with the Superscale/Microscaledecals Then I found a rather colourful profile by noted artist Thierry Dekker Later on I found these two photos on the 368th Fighter Group site: Interestingly the fuselage code shows what appears to me like an X instead of the Bar K on the other versions although with the same serial. The placement and lay out of the nose art are in accordance with the Dekker profile albeit a bit tamer in my vision than the artist’s joyous version. Like a great man on this site said: don’t trust a profile without a photo. 😜 What do you jug experts think? Thank you for your comments, Cheers, Quang

As previously hinted at in the Compucolor/DBI thread, here's my list of the Gloy standard and authentic ranges. I'm not sure if they're complete. I suspect that the railway range isn't, judging by the gaps in the numbers, but I think that the standard and aircraft ranges are. If that's the case, I'm surprised that there weren't any post-war colours. Maybe you know something I don't! My first Gloy Authentics were bought from Ren Models in Cambridge. This would have been in the early eighties, from their Mill Road shop. I think they may have been in Burleigh Street before that, but I would have been quite young (i.e. pre-teen) and maybe only went there once or twice. Anyway, I remember that they had a large, white, wire mesh basket near the entrance that was full of heavily-discounted Gloy paints and I bought as many as I could afford. I suspect that this was the stock being offloaded once the paints had been discontinued. I'm not sure why they stopped making them, but it seems that they were made for Gloy by Henkel, so maybe it was something to do with the latter. Over they following years I managed to acquire quite a few more, to the point where I have over 400 of them! I got lucky a few years ago when somebody nearby was selling a whole load of paints, mostly Gloy, and I got 298 tins and bottles for £16! Some colours have remained elusive, whilst others I have multiples of. If anyone else has some missing colours maybe we could do swapsies? Just a thought.... I thought it quite interesting that Compucolor used at least some of the Gloy standard range colours. I wonder if there was some kind of connection between the two. This is the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night! This is what I have so far. Again, if anyone can fill in the blanks, it would be much appreciated. I think it would be useful to have a reference for those who are interested in these long-gone paints.
