I don't know if any books have been written in Sweden about the HKP4, I would be surprised if they haven't as the type served for a long time and was popular. Perhaps one of our Swedish members could throw some light on this for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have you join us Steve. Having been watching your excellent (and very prolific) builds in the Matchbox GB I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do with the old Airfix offering. Having that one built alongside the Fujimi one will make for an interesting comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us looking for Japanese schemes have a look at this link; https://flyteam.jp/aircraft/kawasaki/v-107-kawasaki/photo Covers all 3 Japanese forces and even some civil ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 This arrived yesterday. The box looks like it has spent a number of years in a model shop window, but the parts are perfect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably been in one or two of our stashes over the years too! As long as the plastic is in good condition that's all that is important.

modelling minion Posted September 14, 2018 Author Share Posted September 14, 2018 With the IPMS Nationals rapidly approaching (in the UK at least) this might be a good opportunity for those of you without kits or decals to have a look for what you need, March will come around faster than you think!

Jabba Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Unfortunately the decal sheet that I am looking for probably will not be out by the time this GB starts, but I will find something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 What I was hoping to do was one of the Brown/sand schemes that were in the Gulf. Having put up a suggestion on a Flying Leatherneck topic on ARC Dave Roof did say and showed that he has drawings of these CH-46s, but I doubt if it will be ready by the time this GB comes around. I do have a couple of Academy 1/48th kits with OIF markings so I will probably do one of these. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I have fond memories of the old Airfix kit so sign me up please. I found THIS thread while looking for decals which may be of interest. As I'm now to old and feeble to do 1/72 I need to buy stuff in 1/48. I have nothing at all in the stash. I know I'm stunned as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noting that you live in Derbyshire there's a 1/48 KV-107 on Ebay at the minute with a starting price of around £3 but pick up only and it's in Belper, now I know Derbyshire is a big county but you might live very close for all I know.

Maybe she won't be Swedish after all....... Glad to be of service. I saw that the auction had finished and hoped that you had been the winner, a very good price for a great (and large) kit. I look forward to seeing it underway once the STGB is up and running whichever scheme you decide to go with, and there are some very nice ones out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Please don't shoot me down but is this a Chinook GB? I see lots of MC or CH 47 but not a lot of 46 / 107 kits on the WWW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wimbledon99 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi Craig, OK - Understood Thanks for the offer. As tempted as I am by a 1:48 I'll probably stick to a 1:72, though that might change I'll have a good look around on-line but I'm happy for anyone to PM me if they have anything they know they won't build Cheers Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Well, that didn't take long. I have an "Academy CH-46A/D Sea Knight (US Marines-Vietnam) 1/48 + Extras" on the way in the post 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will indeed be sticking with the kit options, unless of the course the decals are perished and then I'll have to go on the hunt again. I've read the Acadamy kits are nice to build and the extras sold with it (Eduard Interior and Scalewarships Rotor Fold) make it a nice little find for the price Not yet sure about using the rotor fold though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
