One of two Italeri TF-104G Zippers: Blue skies, Old Man. (22 August 1942 - 1 April 2018) Both 28+28 and my dad retired from active service in 1983. Like Harvey, I'm out of likes............................... 4
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 2 hours ago, DannyVM said: 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. 2
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 20, 2018 Posted September 20, 2018 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. 5

Nice Ivan, let me know once you know more mate.
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted September 21, 2018 Administrators Posted September 21, 2018 Ivan, will that kit work for a CF-104 two seater as well, or is a specific Euro pattern ship? 2
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 Current state of affairs. But I'm confident it won't take too long for the aftermarket to chime in and offer new decal sheets for late North Mexican two-seaters in variegated camo with subdued symmetrical markings. 2
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 21, 2018 Posted September 21, 2018 4 hours ago, Jeff said: Tovarich...................... do you make your own decals and or masks?? Da?? ................. Nyet?? Утвердительный. Masks for the iron crosses and tac code numbers, custom printed JaboG 33 badges, kit and aftermarket stencils. 2
Bomber_County Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Found the book in a second hand book store and the green stuff is for zimmerit and sand bags etc etc....... 3
BlrwestSiR Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 A bottle of paint for my Sherman. Almost bought a U-boat but the LHS couldn't find it. Maybe next time. Carl 3
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 They couldn't find it. I see... But isn't that exactly what Uboats are supposed to do? <chuckles> 4

Probably a good thing too for my wallet's sake Carl 3
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 You're the one that got away today. Who'd have thunk it?! "TWIST OF FATE - Submerged German Sub Saves Modeller From Costly Impulse Buying" 3
Guest DannyVM Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Postman just brought these : 3-D printed, look at that detail. Greetz Danny
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Probably the last transaction for 2018: Traded a 48th scale Dragon Ju 88G-6 for a PCM Spit.

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! 5
Ivan Ivanovich Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Just a little nosh for in-between two MiGs. 2

Carl As odd as it may seem, but I need mine to build a Mk.IXe one fine day. 2020/2021 maybe. 2
Wingco57 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 How about G-FIRE, would make a nice model. Cees 2
BlrwestSiR Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 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. My dog didn't take too well to having to wait for her dinner while I checked the contents. Carl 3
