  1. Well, that makes a lot of sense! I may have some old Testors MM paints like that. In fact, I'm planning on having both Atholl and Sidewinder missiles mounted on the rails. Thanks!
  2. G'day all. I'm starting to build for a display a 1/72 scale F-16 in the blue Ukrainian AF colors. Another modeler is sending me the digital camouflage scheme that I'll have to cut and fit, but does anyone know what the blues that they use? I know it'll be fictitious, but it'll look neat! I have some Testors MM, Tamiya paints, etc. If there's FS numbers I can work with that. Thanks!
  3. Wow! That's a good start. I believe the truck is a 1961 or so. Thanks for the information
  4. G'day- I've been asked to paint a Mack truck in the color of "Mack Green." I think this is lighter than a hunter green, but any suggestions? thanks!
  5. Thanks. I found what appears to be Cummings engines on EBay, and heavily converted them. Building crash trucks are pretty easy since they're "slab sided." I wrote an article for IPMS, so we'll see when it's published. A question-- what does the "P-" signify? USAF never responded.
  6. Thanks for the reply. this is a color profile of what I have. As to the wings, I will probably estimate where the bands would be located, most likely the same width as what's on the fuselage.
  7. G'day- I am gathering research information on a Hawker Seahawk; 806 Squadron. This jet has the "Ace of Diamonds" logo on the fuselage sides. According to a Modelaid magazine profile, there is a red-white band around the fuselage (illustrated), and it also references a red-white band around the wings, which is not illustrated. Does anyone have any information on where these bands are located, and whether the red is on the outside? I am thinking my next option is to contact on of the UK museums. thanks for any feedback.

  8. Thanks. One thing about Air Force crash trucks. They're all business-- no curves, just bulk . . . .
  9. Thanks. I needed a scratch built project during the pandemic. This was all squares, etc., so it was chosen. I was lucky to find some engines that worked for this. I HAD to open up the doors for this.
  10. Attached are photographs of my 1 1/2 year scratch build 1/25 scale P-2 crash fire truck. Length is approximately 16 inches. Wheels and tires are custom bought from American Industrial Truck Models out of New Jersey, seats are from an American LaFrance ladder truck, engines were bought on E Bay and are modified to look like the earlier gasoline engines, and a couple of transmission parts from a Russian truck. The rest is sheet styrene and tubing. Since this is a military vehicle, and I've never seen one in civilian markings, I posted this under the Armor Forum.
  11. Thanks for the information on this. I was wondering if anyone had colors on a Polish tank in WWII.
  12. G'day. I have a 1/35 (Polish manufacturer) kit of the 7TP light tank. This was used around 1938-1939. They call for a three tone color scheme of Olive-Green (Khaki), dark brown, and sand yellow (ochre). Could anyone suggest paint colors, or should I just go with whatever Testors/Humbrol paint labels? I think the Olive green may be a light greenish tint, and the sand yellow somewhere in the Middlestone tint. Any help from my "associates" is greatly appreciated. Joe Vattilana
  13. Thanks. I found the way of copying pictures from my files to this.
