Slightly delayed, but they've finally made it to my doorstep. One of two Italeri TF-104G Zippers:

I'm all ears Ivan......Tell me....

OK, I'll ask him...

From what I know, it comes with an MBU-12/P mask, clear and dark visors, a replacement (rigid) visor cover, WEA, etc. 

Since you were explicitly stating "HGU-55/P", and in order to avoid any misunderstandings, it's an HGU-55/G we're talking about.

I think I'm going to use paint masks for the iron crosses and tactical code numbers.

I've already started to draw up the basic paint mask layouts.

They couldn't find it. I see...

But isn't that exactly what Uboats are supposed to do? <chuckles>

It was the Bronco 1/35 Type XXIII kit so not a small box. They were quite perplexed on how no one could find it either. 

Probably a good thing too for my wallet's sake :D

Probably the last transaction for 2018: Traded a 48th scale Dragon Ju 88G-6 for a PCM Spit.

  • Spare sprue of TAMIYA Spitfire Mk.XVIe transparencies - CHECK!
  • Grey Matter Figures low-back spine - CHECK!
  • BarracudaCast seat -CHECK!
  • Master Hispano 20mm & Browning .50cal gun barrel fairings - CHECK!
  • TAMIYA Mk.XVIe from my stash to serve as a template to make upper wing gun blister moulds - CHECK!

Cool! I'm planning to approach from the other way by starting with a Tamiya XVI and grafting on a Griffon power egg to it.

These arrived today:

Thankfully the contents fine as the boxes didn't take too well to their shipment from Hong Kong. Now I have the donor kits for my AIMS C-6 and P-1 conversions. :thumbsup2:

My dog didn't take too well to having to wait for her dinner while I checked the contents.
