One-Oh-Four

Hi guys, Does anyone know if and where I can get a loose LL-sprue from Tamiya's Spitfire Mk.XVIe? I need the cannon bulges to make a highback Spit Mk.XVIe... Cheers! erik.

Work quickly Cees! Otherwise you'll lose the lead you have with the Whitley...

Oh, nice! Didn't know the site! Since I also have enough ship models to last me through retirement up till the Last Flight, I'll sign up there soon! Thanks, guys! BTW, many people from here on that site too?

Ha! I'm not too frightened about that. I've been searching for ages for 1/32 French F8F-1B Bearcat decals, but no joy! So, even if I wish to, I just can't get the decals...

I love it, Franck! Nice cloudy mottling! Mottling intimidates me, to tell you the truth, but you nailed it!

...and sod the pricelist.....

Oooooohhhhhh, must have.....

Oh, BTW; gents, thanks for the tip!

Ordered the Berna stickers. A Frenchie AD, seems like nice trod off the beaten path...

I would love to see a WIP on the Tor!

Hi guys, I succumbed to the Trumpy AD-4 Skyraider.... Anyone know if there are AD-4 decals on the market, or if anyone is working on a sheet? Thanks! Erik.

Looking very nice Jamme! You know how I feel about heavy (pre)shading, though... Other than that, magnificent build! Awkward airfield planking, I must say... Must've been hell on the undercarriages! Oh, wait..... I had to add: I positively LOVE the airbrushed roundels & markings!

Cees, do you know the answer to my question? Was any of the decal options based in Holland during 1944-45?

Are one or more of the decal options for aircraft thet were based in the Netherlands during the Allied march into NWE? Cheers, Erik.

Great model Ralph! I really like the colour scheme and the weathering you did on it! Dirty in just the right places and nothing like the Mondriaan-Syndrome visible! Top-notch!

Thanks guys, but it really is just a slight adaptation of the SP&R's forum protocol....

The first USMC tank-assisted landings in WW2 took place on Tarawa Atoll, more specifically on Betio Island. Most of those M4A2's didn't survive very long, but two fought on until the place was finally completely taken. Did these tanks carry stowage? If so probably not as much as their European TO brethren, but still... Colorado may not be the best example since a Japanese soldier put it on fire on Day 1 and the crew ran it into the sea to put the flames out...

Looking good, Jeroen! You have more armour builds to share with us? I'd like that!

Of course everyone likes to have as little rules as possible. That goes for the moderators too. Unfortunately, 100% freedom of speech means that other people can become or feel damaged. Therefore we feel it's appropriate to lay down the following protocol: General Forum Protocol: Forum staff give time freely so they can create a thriving resource for scale modellers who share the same passion for this fantastic hobby. We do not wish for countless rules that restrict participation. Instead we ask that members will have respect for fellow modellers and thus take charge of their own conduct. Constructive debate is encouraged, disrespectful and negative behavior is not. Staff will ensure your time here will be enjoyable and free from unacceptable behavior of any kind. In return we ask just a few simple protocols of you….. General Forum Protocol: You agree to respect all members and staff without exception. This is a friendly community that takes pride in, encourages and thrives on positive and respectful co operation. Under no circumstances will behavior be allowed that is deemed harmful, hateful, offensive or insights any of the previous (this includes no politics, religion, sexual content or innuendo and no threats or violence). Such posts will be removed without further explanation. Anyone not willing to accept and cooperate with this simple request will be warned, suspended and/or banned with immediate effect by authorized Staff. Posting Protocol: You agree to make only suitable posts in the General Discussion section that keep within the guidelines set out in that area. You agree to create a new topic in the appropriate section and make the title meaningful to the subject. It is incredibly helpful if you can use the 'Tag' function making threads far easier to follow. You have the right to privacy. However we encourage users to use a real forename name on your signature or a simple nickname so people can reply in a courteous manner. In your profile we encourage the use of a genuine country of origin, gender and age. This information simply allows others to have a link and understanding of who they are interacting with. You agree not to create multiple user accounts without the express permission of staff. Anyone found doing so will have accounts deleted and their main page will be suspended and/or deleted. You agree to only use signature banners that reflect either Group Builds you participate in, personal pages such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogs or to identify yourself. Only approved sponsors may use their signature for advertising banners. You must give your topics appropriate names which aren't misleading, ambiguous, or confusing. They must relate to the subject matter being posted. No 'Look at this one', or 'Thought I'd ask you guys' style topic names please. If this isn't adhered to, a moderator will amend, and you will be PM'd. These are simple protocols found in place on any forum. By becoming a member of these forums it is down to you to read the protocols and accept them. There can be no excuses for not doing so. Respect them, encourage them and apply them on all occasions ensuring we are all part of a successful and productive forum to be proud of. If a member of staff feels the need to send you a PM, you must reply to it, and not ignore. Ignoring staff PMs will result in warnings being issued. Many Thanks. LSM Forums Staff

Great going, Jeroen!

Thanks for the beautiful F-104G banner, Jeroen!!! Greatly appreciated!! Really!!!

Well, I'm back from Germany. Could get a good price for Jeroen, so I slipped some GHB in his drink and sold him off...

I'm off on a long weekend trip with my motorcycle-froends to the Mosel. Going to the little town of Bullay. Saturday and Sunday we ride in the vicinity and Monday we're goin "The Long Way Up" again! See y'all on Tuesday again! Oh wait, the hotel has WiFi.....

Wow! Looking superb, Cees!!!

Ooooooooooooooohhhhh, that wing fold!!!! Mouth-watering!!! And to think most of these bird-cages flew from islands and didn't have their wings folded very often...
