Biggles87 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 That's a real shame, it looks like it has become a victim of it's own success. I last went to a display at Duxford in 2014, and was a little,disappointed at the restrictions that had been imposed by ' Health and Safety ' in the 10 years since I had last been. Unfortunately it seems to be happening everywhere, a result no doubt of a society where there is no such thing as an accident and everyone wants to sue someone.

Biggles87 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think the rocket heads ( if explosive type ) would be Bronze Green, but I'm just nit picking, another strange English expression. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Remembered this thread from a while back. Took me a while to find though... The thread suffers from the photobucket mischief but there is a useful image further down... Hope it helps... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Beema Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Actually I do have a question about how the double rails work. It probably obvious to everyone else but I assume the rockets separate and are fired individually so does the bracket where they are joined release or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hello Grey, Precisely ! I was wondering about that same question.... As far as I can see, I looked a footage about Korean war The US used a similar system and once fired the rocket let loose individually So I suppose the bracket fell apart, may be a collateral damage for the one who take it on his head... I think that the 2 rockets are fired simultaneously, but can they select to fire outboard one first or all at once... I don't know And I did'nt see the pig tail before the take off, so I suppose once again that the electrical contact lie in the bracket. US Navy rocket on the Skyraider do have the pig tail behind, it's plugged just before the launching Will try to find back the movie on you toone ! Thank you all, this evening.... Modelling for sure !

The Spadgent Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Nice paintwork there CC stripes now or later. I guess it depends if you’re going to pre shade or not? Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks Johnny, Preshading ? Mmmh ?

The Spadgent Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Oh no. Is that leakage? Good luck on the Lightning . Johnny 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggles87 Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 What are you painting on the Lightning? All I can see is masking! You could always use the leakage on the Seafire as pre-shading. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsaircorp Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Hello dears, Really, yesterday was a weird day, the Seafire 47 fell off the table, luckily no parts missing or broken ! As it was about time for decalling, I took the Airfix decal sheet and saw this !!! , I spent a lot of time for havin' these stripes painted and they are furnished .... Then the Frightning decals.... fin flashes, 199 & 200 are unusable.... Not a very good day.... Hope that I will fare better today... Have a good modelling time ! Sincerely.
