  2. Fug 10 Radio ?

    in Armor

    Posted · Edited by TimDarrah

    I was reading the old Squadron book "Blitzkrieg" in prep to build a BEF Matilda and I saw a cool photo of a Luftwaffe Sd.Kfz. 223 with just WL on the number plate along with the 7th Panzer Division markings on it.

     

    Doing some research on the vehicle I found that I'll need a Fug 10 radio for this vehicle (the Hobby Boss kit I have ordered does not have any radios in it at all according to the reviews I've read). So might anyone know if any aftermarket company makes the Fug 10 sets? I'm sure that I can scratchbuild them but I'm lazy and would rather just buy a set already made up.

     

    The vehicle actually had a medium-range radio, the Fug 10 and a long range one and I'm almost 100% certain I have an extra in my spares box. I'm going to get the Tank Workshops interior set to use for this vehicle.

     

    Thanks,

  3. Resin Zimmerit ?

    Ralph,

     

    You know that I'm lazy :-)

     

    John,

     

    Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can find.

     

    Rob,

     

    I've used Cavalier before and love the way they look and ease of use as well.

     

    Thanks all.

    Mind you, since the Pz IV I want to build was destroyed in early 45, who knows if the zimmeritt was even on it? We ll know that was discontinued in mid-44.

    Besides Cavalier, who else makes resin zimmerit? I know there are other manufacturers, but right now I can't remember who.

     

    I'm looking for a set for my DML #6022 Pz IV, Ausf. J, Late. I'm going to be using my Bison Decals #35041 "Battle of Balaton Hungary, 1945".

     

    I've looked on e-Bay on only found the Eduard metal zimmerit, while I haven't used those, I just don't like the look of their zimmerit. Looks too flat.

     

    Thanks,

    Gil,

     

    Thanks bud, that's what I thought but couldn't find it during my search. The kit prop actually isn't too bad, good enough for my purposes.

     

    Thanks again,

    Might anyone know what type of propellor was on the P-26A?

     

    I'm building the old Revell kit for the upcoming 55th Fighter Squadron 100-Year anniversary.

     

    Thanks,

  12. Best Dull Coats?

    in General Modeling

    Posted

    Hey,

     

    I need some assistance.

     

    What is the best Dull Coat out there? And what do you use?

     

    I've been useing Testors (spray) for the longest time and never get a truely dull coat, even after multiple coats.

     

    One of the guys in the AMPS club I belong to told me about Windsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Matt Varnish. That gives a great true dull coat, but when I spray it through my airbrush it "spots" on me and my T-34/76 Mod 1942 Fact. 112 at the AMPS/Atlanta show two weeks ago got low marks for it.

     

    I have tried Krylon Matte Finish 1311 in spray form, and it crazed my Airfix 1/72nd P-40B, can't tell if it did it to the just the paint or if it effected the plastic undernieth.

     

    So any tips/hints recommendations are very welcome.

     

    Thanks,

  14. L/F: 1/72nd WW2 20th FG P-51 Cowl stripes

    in Wanted/For Sale (public)

    Posted

    I am part of a group making 1/72nd aircraft models for the upcoming 55th Fighter Squadron Centenary Anniversary/Reunion to be held 23-25 August of this year at Shaw AFB, SC.

     

    I am building both the P-51B and P-51D and need two sets of the black/white stripes you see in the attachment. They can be found on Super Scale sheet #72-774 P-51D Aces and I have found a couple sheets on e-Bay but they are in the $15-17 range which is a bit much since I don't need the entire sheet, just two decals from it.

     

    So I was wondering if anyone might have this sheet in their stash that they don't need the cowl stripes that they might be willing to part with?

     

    Thanks,

    That info is spot-on. Thanks for the link and what's great, I have Vallejo 814 on hand :D

     

    Thank you all for the info and ideas.

     

    Stuff like this makes IPMS a wonderful organization.

  18. Maroon 18 ?

    in Aircraft

    Posted

    I'm working on the 1/72nd Airfix Hawk H-81-A and useing Starfighter Decals #72-134 Pre-War USAAC P-40B for an upcoming display for the 55th Fighter Squadron Centenary in August.

     

    Mark says that the backside of the prop is Maroon 18 and according to the IPMS/USA Color Cross Reference, that codes out to be FS10076.

     

    Might anyone know a model paint that is close to this maroon?

     

    Thanks,

  24. Syrian Pz. IV or Jagdpz IV info needed

    in Armor

    Posted

    Might anyone know of a conversion/detail set, decals & what color green was used to build a Syrian Pz IV or Jagdpz IV? I know Star Decals has a sheet of Syrian T-34/85s and T-55 used in the Six-Day War but nothing for the Pz IV or the Jagdpz IV. AEF Designs used to have a conversion for the Pz IV but we all know how bad AEF stuff was plus they are out of business.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Tim
