    Since a year or so it has occurred to me that a few (new) fellow modellers post an inordinate number of models (four or more) at the same time in Aircraft RFI and constantly push their creations to the fore while they respond to every comment received. I wouldn't be bothered if this didn't move much better builds off the first page in a very short time, often before I have returned to visit the forum. While we all like our models to be recognised I don't consider this kind of attracting attention an adequate and polite use of the platform - it's leading us towards Instagram and Tik Tok. Many long-term users stick to the unwritten rule of 'one post per day' or even 'one post per week'. I hesitate to ask for policing but feel that the moderators should step in and appeal for a more balanced self-promotion. What do you think? Thanks, Michael

    Are the Snecma Atar 101 G3 engine exhaust pipe parts for the French ''Armée de l'Air'' version of the SMB-2, also available on the sprues of this kit ? 😎 SharkOwl

    Well, the RF-5E will be a bit difficult, as the IIAF never got this version...but markings for several interesting IIAF / IRIAF F-5As and RF-5As are already in the preparation stage. greetings Diego

    Very nice work on the decals so far mate, they are going on nicely. I am not sure about the size of the swastika on the tail but as you say it looks a little bit small, but not ridiculously so. Spinner spirals can be a real PITA to apply, not helped by manufacturers getting the size of them completely wrong, as you have found out.

    Outstanding work! I was stationed at March AFB in the early 1990's and we supported that alert fighter wing. I am about to start on building this model as well. Where did you get the 144th Fighter Wing decals? I would like to use them as well. Edit: Just found some on Ebay.

    Awesome paint jobs on all these! I gotta build some Hellcats someday.

    Some very poor fitting parts there Alan which is a real shame considering the good detail on them, like James though I have no doubt that you will be able to sort things out.

    Hello everyone. Flap tracks - going white. A quick update, going to keep it simple. Sometimes I just don’t have the answers to all of the questions, and sometimes maybe I need not be concerned. I have already posted a photo of a Japanese Herk with its flaps down and there is also a photo of another Japanese Herk showing its inner flap structure as being gloss white. These are what I’m going run with in the absence of photos of this actual A/C. Lots of masking to be done first. This is what I think is fairly representative, but, with these flaps being down at a later date some exhaust staining and oils and grease’s weathering will tone down the colours and start to emphasise these details. If of course anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know as it’s not too late for any changes. Thanks for looking. 😉

    Finally got my finger out and did some sanding, port wing and tailcone done and under some medium sea grey

    I don't doubt you will James

    If the jig works, it works. I'm looking forward to seeing this get some paint. Nobody likes the W-word, and I am sadly much further from retirement. I worked out that due to starting work early and the retirement age going up in this country, I've not actually hit the halfway point yet James (Currently looking for any long-lost rich relatives to bump off)

    Looking very good so far. Sorry about the canopy, I wondered about that in the before and after primer photos. If you are not happy after the masking is removed, how is Eduard about replacement parts? I know some manufacturers will provide spares in such circumstances for a small sum.

    You are fully pardoned then 😀
