[Disregard] Ok, I think I know how I'm going to take care of the landing gear. Now what do I have to do to convert this too a A6M3? I have the Master gun barrels for the A6M5, what else do I need to change to make it into a A6M3? I saw a video on YouTube of one done as a "3" it really looked cool. Motteled green over the original grey the guy also added a ton of extra scratch building stuff to it also. Would like to make mine something like his. Thanks Ron G

Would love one but that's way past my fixed income level

Tamiya A6M2b that I'm going to convert to a A6M3 model 22. Ron G

What is the price (in US dollars please) Ron G

Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Whoppee. I got to get me one of those. So Nige is this up on Airscales site? Ron G

Hey Clunky Does anybody make a conversion system for the landing gear situation? I know Eduard has photo etch for it. But does anybody make a resin replacement for the landing gear bays and landing gear. Could you use G factors gear for the Hasagawa Zero on the Tamiya? I would like to know before I hack up the kit stuff. Thanks Ron G

Thanks Ade

Yes I have checked it out Dave thanks. Ok I think I have a handle on the cockpit color I'll have to mix my own from my existing Vallejo stock. Now I need to figure out a mix for the blue/black on the cowl and rear deck (part under the canopy). Heres what I'm thinking 50% black, 40% dark sea blue, 10% med blue sound right?

Thanks it worked.

Can you post a picture of the cross reference chart or send me a copy via a pm?

I can't use Lacquer paints so Gunze is out. I just need the correct shade of green. So I can mix my own colors.

Johns post list (4) different colors for the cockpit. Fs34098 - bamboo Fs34255 - green olive Fs34226 - grey green Fs33448 - khaki/brown Which one is correct?

Ok but what is the correct color?

Hey all I've set the B-24 aside until some aftermarket stuff arrives in the mail. So I decided to start on my Tamiya A6M2b Zero. I'm going to be doing it using all Vallejo paints. And need to know what color to do the cockpit in. I have looked on the net and have seen many different shades of green from dark, almost bronze green to light like British cockpit green. So what is the proper color for this little oriental bird. This will be my first Japanese aircraft model. Thanks Ron G

Hey Nige I'm to old too get down on my knees, if I did I would never get up, but I'm prying along with you. You can get a tractor in 1/32 scale I posted a picture of it in the B-24 thread. But a proper fuel truck now that would be fantastic!!! oh o wheres my nitro pills...lol just kidding

Hey all Was looking on the wheel and tire chart snd found out that the B- 24's front tires where a 36"SC and that the P-38's main tires are the same 36"SC. So if you can find the Aires tire/wheel set for the P-38 you got two front tires for your B-24. Ron G

Hey 1to1 Was just on Ebay and saw a Hobbyboss B-24J being parted out they wanted 20 somthing for top wing sprue and 20 something for the bottom wing sprue, they had the whole kit for sale sprue by sprue. Thought you could use these for your wing conversion process. Ron G

Hey 1to1 Did you notice the doors on the rear of the front turret. They should have little windows in them or they should have been made from clear plastic so you could mask them and then paint them. Ron G

Hey all [DISREGARD THIS] I did some work on the B-24's frt. & rr. turrets. I tried to remove the pin & socket attachment points there not bad but not great either. The front did polish out with alittle help from my Foredom tool, sanding sponges and Tamiyas polishing compounds.

I sure hope somebody comes out with some aftermarket ones

Hey 1to1 Check this out would look good towing some bomb carts out too the B-24.

Wasn't trying to be snarky. If you want info and don't want to buy books use the internet. Ron G

Yeah wouldn't that be great only have to buy ONE!!! book...lol

Thanks Mark, at least sombody looked Ron G
