John Masters Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Here are some possibilities...definitely the German Sea Hawk, the G.91 and the Mig. I would like to include the Percival Provost trainer. Was a decision made about UK based trainers? --John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I also have the Meng G-91 in The stash. I'm very tempted by it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still leaves you with plenty cool options though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickyrich Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 ok this is a request for anyone who may have either some decals for a 1/48th Luftwaffe F-86K or any 1/48th Modern Luftwaffe decals. I'm a bit scared the ones that came with my model maybe no good. The only similar ones I've found are some Victory Production ones for a F-104. They're no longer in production and the last ones on sale on eBay went for $500 USD!! So any modern, well 60's to 80's Luftwaffe decals would or may be of help. Now why can't I build normal models!

I have got a set of decals for the normal German Sabre jet. If I am not mistaken, then they are the same size for both versions. You can have them Rich. I will send them over to you, if I still have the adress. If not, than I will send you a PM for the details. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one for the Vigilante looked ok but but even after a few hours in water they still wouldn't release! I'll do a test run with some I won't be using to see how they go. Will PM you if I do end up needing them. cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arniec Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi Rich. I have got this kit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/245164-special-hobby-sh48123-f-86k-sabre-dog With looking into it I just found that there is also a partial decals set from HaHen decals. These are specialiced for the German F-86K. https://www.aviationmegastore.com/north-american-f86k-sabre-luftwaffe-hh48011-harald-hensel-hh48011-aircraft-scale-modelling-decals/product/?action=prodinfo&art=49546 It looked like tis set, but is a bit different. If you need them then I will send them over both. 😁 Cheers, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 That's unbelievable!!!! I spent ages the other day searching for Luftwaffe decals for the F-86K and those HaHen ones didn't show up at all in any of the searches. Even Aviation Megastore didn't show them when I searched. Thanks for the offer but I went straight to their site and got a new set plus a set for my F-104 (the decal for that one were the Luftwaffe anniversary ones)! This is the best day ever!! Guess now I'll have to start planning the F-104 build as well. Plus I may have to get myself a 1/48th RF-84F as well soon, Luftwaffe as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col. Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 We are now exactly one month away from this one starting today Everyone know which models they want to work on?

PhantomBigStu Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Trying to avoid anymore group build entries having had a burnout but maybe I’ll be ready with another, if so it’ll be a airfix/alleycat lightning f3 in 56sqn markings 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've too much choice and too many stalled projects on the bench so need to get cracking I've narrowed my list down to these mostly in 1/48 - Airfix Lightning F2 Hasegawa F-104 various airforces to choose from, all in nmf. The current front runner. Hasegawa A-4c Skyhawk from USS JFK's Med cruise of 1969. New Airfix Phantom in 1/72 in very early FAA colours also from 1969. I think this is eligible. Someone please advise if not. Eduard Mig 21 in Czech invasion colours. Smer Su-7. Not sure about this one TBH. A lot of work. Time to start making decisions and also finish of current builds. Looking forward to it. James 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
