Enzo the Magnificent Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 29 minutes ago, Learstang said: The F-110, that was the designation the USAF was going to use for the Phantom II before the decision in 1962 to have a unitary designation system for all aircraft (it probably extended to other machines/devices, but aircraft are what I know). So does that mean that all F-4s are allowed? I would say no. Two F-4Bs were loaned to the USAF, which designated them "F-110 Spectre". The designation only ever applied to those two specific aircraft BuNos 149405 and 149406. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 After much stash mining I've turned out a Valentine Mk.XI from Wee Friends. Before the outrage I've also got a 6pdr barrel to make it into a Mk.X Just need to find some 3rd Canadian Infantry division decals in 1/48 and I'm good to go. Targets you say. A tank on the runway is the ultimate air superiority weapon, even if just a hulk. Pesky planes can't stay up there forever. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 With a week to go I want to clear these off the bench to give my Czech Gripen 10 year service entry my best and sole focus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ho ho! Moved into the current build section can mean only one thing...it’s nearly time. I will just take all the aftermarket, decals out and “Czech” the kit again and paint inventory...for the 3rd time to make sure it’s good to go right on the button.

JWM Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Currently I am working on two Fokkers CX: Kestrel and Pagasus engines. I have them partially glued. How to judge this 25% of build? Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 We judge mostly on the number of parts stuck together. Post up a photo or two so we can see how far along you've got Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_W Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I have the Revel PT109 kit. PT 103-114 all served in Squadron 5 and were all ELCO 80'. If I can sort some new numbers I can build PT 110... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post up a photo or two so we can see how far along you've got So we do not consider painting nor finishing? Regarding number of parts it is behind half for both CX.... So I quit with them as to GB. However - besided Fokker CX I can go with Kawasaki Ki 10 (two kits: Ki-10-I by Avis and Ki-10 II by ICM) or Nieman R 10 by Pavla... BTW - what about Messerschmitt 110? If it is still "10" there are Me 210, 410, Caproni 310, Bloch 210... Nobody mentioned also PWS-10, I think. I do not have them in stash (they are on shelves ready ) How about P47-D10, P-51D-10 etc? Are they "in"? Cheers J-W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 If you visit the 'Welcome & Rules' page you'll see that numbers 110/210/410 etcetera are allowed and if a 109 G-10 is allowed then I reckon a P51D-10 is allowed as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Hello Quick question concerning OV-10’s ? Im most likely going to build a USMC Bronco but i have spent a few hours searching the Ether for photos of a VS-41 Shamrocks OV-10 Bronco ? Apparently they were the OCU for the navies broncos. I’ve only one possible but cant post it due to ownership rights. So if anyone has any knowledge of US Navy OV-10 Bronco’s in Shamrocks markings I would be very grateful.

Graeme H Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 OK, I plan on a 10 Sqn RAAF aircraft, but don't have the time to do a big one like a Sunderland, Lincoln, Neptune, Orion or even a P8, but they did back in the day operate a Target Tug CAC Mustang A68-113 So, Red Roo do a conversion, and surprise surprise, I have it and a Tamiya Mustang, and of course the Southern Cross Mustangs book, so if all is OK with the mods, that will be my entry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on doing a 10SQN RAAF aircraft as well, most likely a P-3 since I have about 8 of them in the stash, just not sure on which scheme to go with at this stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Please excuse the copyright marking on this image, but it's my image from my preview that I did over on MM and I am quite sure DaBoss wouldn't mind. Can I join with this kit of Gemini and Agena, modelled as Gemini X? The way you'd know it was Gemini X will be because ... I'll mount it on a stand with the Gemini 10 mission patch. I literally have nothing else in my whole stash remotely with a 10 in it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantome Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Just curious, are 10s in the aircraft serials or unit number acceptable? i.e. a USN bird with "110"... or a MiG-29 that's "Red 10"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon I just gotta allow those, after all I'm allowing a Gripen with just '10th Anniversary' markings on it. A 10 would be better tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 @Black Knight ... or @Enzo Matrix ... I have Quick question. I would like to post a photo but not sure if i am able to ? It is a photo from the Chinalake alumni website of an OV-10 Bronco. I think it would be ok if i posted and credited them with ownership. But do they have restrictions like Airliners.Net ? If so would it be easier to post a link ? And how to do that ? I am attempting to contact them as well to see if i can post the photo. But any and all input is welcome here. I dont want to make a miss-step. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope it works out... This is the other reason Taken by Collins as Armstrong and Aldrin returned from the Lunar surface 21 July 1969. It shows every human who had EVER existed except ONE.
