  1. T-45 Build info needed

    in Aircraft

    Posted

    Ed I saw your PM that they are ready to be mailed.

     

    Thank you for helping me with this & I'll let you know when they arrive.

     

    This is one of the many things I love about being in a modeling organization, members willing to assist others with their projects.

  3. T-45 Build info needed

    in Aircraft

    Posted

    I just recieved my copy of the Caracal Models #CD72028 T-45 Goshawk decals and they say that the October 2009 issue of Fine Scale Modeler has a detailed article on the necessary modifications needed for the Testors/Italeri 1/72nd kit.

     

    Might anyone have that issue and could send me a scan of the article?

     

    Thanks,

  5. How does your club manage your mailing list?

    in Ask the IPMS/USA

    Posted

    I just use a simple Excel spreadsheet for that info.

     

    For the club mailing list, I have everyone in my e-mail address book then created a group list so to contact everyone in the club I hit only 1 address instead of everyone separately.

     

    For the vendor list, again I use a simple Excel spreadsheet with all of the pertanent info.

     

    PM me if you want a sample of the vendor listing.

    in Armor

    Posted

    Might anyone out there have Academy's King Tiger Final Production, kit # 13229? I would like a copy of the "Octopus" paint scheme page.

     

    Please PM me if you do and can scan that portion of the instructions for me.

     

    I looked on that Hobby Search web site without success; they had the kit but I could not find the instructions.

     

    Thanks,

  17. L/F 1/35th "Dunkerque" City Limits Sign

    in Armor

    Posted

    Might anyone know where I can find a 1/35th scale Dunkerque city limits sign? I have the very old Tamiya signs set and that has "Dunkirk" but that is not the French spelling of that City.

     

    I've looked on e-By, Archer and Reality in Scale without success.

     

    This will be used on the base for my Czechoslovak Independent Brigade M5A1.

     

    Any other ideas?

     

    Thanks,

  18. Czech Independant Brigade Reference?

    in Armor

    Posted

    Might anyone know where I might find photos of a M5A1 in the Czech Independant Brigade outside Dunkirk in late 1944-1945?

     

    I found the Black Lion decals out of The Netherlands on e-Bay & bought them, but they do not provide any diagram, etc. for the sheet. I have contacted them for information and am awaiting info, but it's been three weeks, so...

     

    I've Googled it but came up with nothing.

     

    I did find out that they landed in Normandy in August 1944 then moved to the siege of Dunkirk for the remainder of the war.

     

    I'll be using the AFV Club kit, with the Black Lion decals and Resicast British crew (I figure that they would've used British uniforms but with Czech insignias, like the Poles did.

     

    Thanks,

  19. A question for Phantom Phanatics

    in Aircraft

    Posted

    I worked on F-4s and they all had the same size intakes except as Gil pointed out, the British ones. With the American ones, you had to go in sideways to get past that probe on the wall about a yard back. Last time I "shot the tubes", about 2-3 years ago, I had a hard time getting my fat belly past!!

  22. Any 1/35th Polish 2nd Armored Division decals out there?

    in Armor

    Posted

    You already might have seen my request for M4A4 tracks, which I now have. A big thank you everyone.

     

    Now I was thinking to put my Sherman ARV Mk. I in British Commonwealth markings in Italy, 1944. So for something different, I thought the 2nd Polish Armored Division or 12th South African Motor Brigade would be cool, but I can't locate any. I've checked Archer, Ultracast and Star without success. I have contacted Derek Hanson at Accurate Armour to see what he might have and await his response.

     

    Any other ideas?

     

    Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

  25. M4A4 Sherman Tracks

    Rob,

     

    Just ordered them from MegaHobby, ordering from them directly was cheaper than Amazon, which coordinated the sale with MegaHobby anyways. Also bought a couple other sets to have on hand.

     

    Thanks bud.

     

    Tim

     

    P.S. How is your Pz IV J coming along?
