LanceB Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Just for my own curiosity/clarification, with the French F-84Fs EC2/4's squadron color was green, and EC1/4 was red, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the "La Fayette" scheme, the red arrow should be green for me. Alain. I don’t think we should take the profile drawings to be accurate - the Armee de l’air one still has ‘USAF’ on the wing! 59 minutes ago, LanceB said: Just for my own curiosity/clarification, with the French F-84Fs EC2/4's squadron color was green, and EC1/4 was red, then?

sroubos Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Dutch Decal did sheets for the Streak way back when, but they are nowhere near the quality you would expect nowadays. With the Flash being rereleased as well I would expect them to do a new set this year, they are generally pretty good following new Dutch kit releases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I hope it will be be more accurate than their Indonesian set . Looking at your link Andre @Hook I do like those Nat metal/aluminium options :). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Hmmm ..... I now see the multitude of great colour options for Dutch ‘streaks :)... I reckon on an aluminium 316/314/313 sqn machine :)... So many choices 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Yummy! Not bad at all as long as you expect it to be a Sword and nothing more elaborate! It'll work for me! At least they remembered to include the fin tip lights and rudder balance! The decals have pretty much the right colours too! Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Very workable! And perhaps someone will come up with an aftermarket short underfuselage fairing. Cheers, Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis_C Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Nice as always! The only thing I'd like Sword to start doing - add decals for instrument panel and seat belts. Sword used to supply kits with PE frets for interior and some exterior elements. Ok, I get it adds cost. Now they do quite detailed plastic instrument panels and provide resin seats. But these parts would strongly benefit from small decals. Techmod prints very crisp decals so should not be a problem to add instruments and seat belts in SH style. Hope, Sword guys, you read it Otherwise great subject choice and I believe good molding for short run technology. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I'm guessing it will be a better build than the Italeri one I have tucked away, in which case, it may have established a 'need'. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
