  1. Couple of things I'll note:

    1. lots more modeling forums nowadays ,international like Hyperscale and ARC, Scale related like 72nd scale, topic related like USAF SIG, And the list goes on.

    2. Modelers themselves,like my club in Pittsburgh

    A. 1/3 are IPMS members

    B. 1/3 of those build regular

    C. 90% of those do very little posting and photos.

     

    Just some non-scientific breakdowns and my opinions on limited posting seen

     

    As for me. I post my stuff here, 1/72nd Modeller,ARC and Hyperscale . I average about a completion every 3 months. Not much to keep the forums filled.

     

    Cheers

    Finish is gloss blak primer with Airframe Aluminum Alclad base. A little polished Aluminum on the control surfaces for some contrast. Overcoated with Alclad Acrylic gloss.

  5. There are markings for the" One " squadron and the " Bat" squadron. The small picture on the instruction sheet shows using the large stars on a "One" squadron aircraft. These had a red rudder with a blue and white chevron. There are instructions for all the stencils but not much on the layout of the upper markings.

    Again any help would be appreciated.

    Bill

  6. Thanks Gil

    I have tried to find some upper markings layout for the scheme with the large stars. The stencils should not be a problem but the layout of the markings is a concern. I will try to and find something

    for references.

    Thanks again Gil
