    Here's a start...

    I'm watching this one.

    They have a Yellow doped linen listed as TCP-1254. It's under the British Flying Corp section. It's definitely not the easiest site to navigate. But it looks like 1to1 found exactly what you're looking for. Carl

    I'd say that's probably correct. It does have a lacquer smell to it. The LHS recommended either Tamiya lacquer thinner or Mr Color Leveling thinner so that's what I used. I found it sprays very similar to Mr Color. The pigment is fine, not as coarse as what you see in Tamiya acrylics. I haven't tried brushing them either.

    Tony, have you checked out Tru-Color Paints? My LHS stocks them for their WWI colors. They're out of Arizona too. http://trucolorpaint.com/ I'm currently using their Metallic silver on a build and so far I like the way it sprays. I'm using Mr Leveling Thinner on it. Carl

    It does look a bit too factory fresh doesn't it? Ok, maybe a bit of dirt once I get the decals on.

    I don't have the DeAgostini Falcon but I do have the Bandai one. Or should I say ones. Hope one of you guys does a build thread. Either of you get the Paragrafix or Falcon 3D bits for them? Carl

    There is so much variety on the bench these days. That's great.

    Ok, like Martin I'm back from vacation. So I finally made it back to the bench and promptly sprayed some green paint. I need to do the tools and hatches next. But it's back on the bench.

    Sounds like my approach to figure painting.
  11. BlrwestSiR
    Maybe leave it out if it can't be seen?
  12. BlrwestSiR
    You'll like it. It goes together really well. Well, except for maybe the track links as I ended up using different ones.

    Nice car Harv! I like the white too. Must be the Asian in me. Carl

    Ernie, It's all really coming together now. The lightning bolt on the fuselage is just awesome. Carl

    Just got back from driving to Wisconsin to visit my sister and her family in our 2009 Honda Fit. We did a total of 2700km of driving, mostly at 120km/h except for an hour in Ontario at 130 which was the pace of traffic. We Ontarians love to speed... With the four of us, a roof box and 2 bikes on the rear rack we managed 6.6l/100km or 35.64 mpg according to Martin's chart. Can't complain about that. Although I may want a slightly bigger car next time we do a road trip. Carl

    That works for me. I know how hard it is to do straight thin lines.

    Hey Harv, just got back from visiting my sis and checked my copy of The Modern Phantom Guide. It says the D had the same HUD as the E but doesn't mention any panels/switches being there specifically for the gun pod. The coaming is part F31 in the kit. The corresponding uprights for the HUD are F33 and F34 with D10 being the glass. Hopefully that's right. Carl
  18. BlrwestSiR
    What Harv said! I'd have kittens trying to get thin strips decals down so evenly spaced. Carl

    I wonder if the mods were done on an ad hoc basis by whatever ground crew were servicing the plane at that time. It would explain a lot of the variety.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Some fantastic looking results there Ernie.
  21. BlrwestSiR
    I think we counted 17 of them. Plus one Allison engined one. Really a sight to see. There were a pair of Mig-17s, the CWHM Canso was there but somehow I missed it. A bunch of Dakotas, a B-24 was circling but I didn't see it land. Same with a B-29.

    You're welcome Martin! I managed to meet up with Richard Palimaka there and had a great time walking around the warbirds displays while we talked about planes and models.

    XP-82 While I was looking at these Mustangs, one taxied up into the space on the right side of the photo. I managed to take a video of it coming. I think clicking on the pic below shows the video. After he shut down

    Here's a couple more pics I took. There was a presentation where they interviewed the USAF pilot that flew thus very Skyraider in Vietnam and he talked about his experiences there and after the war relating to the Spad. Pig tails any one?
  25. BlrwestSiR
    Guess I'll need to get some of those. Thanks for facilitating this Ernie! Carl
