  1. Hello All

    I am constructing a1/48th Israeli F-4E with very large Star of David markings. These came in Isradecals IAF-59. However I cannot find any reference to the topside marking placements or stencils applied to this aircraft.

    If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate them. I have Googled the Internet with no success and I tried contacting ISRAdecals last week, with no reply from them.(bit disapointing)

     

    Thanks Bill

  2. The Ansaldo A.1 Balilla was a key part of the 1920s era with the Poles flying quite a few of these. I had never been able to find a 1/48th scale kit of this aircraft.

    Thanks to the WW I SiG in Telford I obtained the Karaya Ansaldo A.1 Balilla resin kit.

    Great details but still a resin biplane. Lucky for me there are a couple of posts on the Internet regarding this aircraft and were of great help

  3. Hello

    This is a model built because a a cool publication,Kagero BF-109 A-D. I used the decals included with this publication. I have found the decals with all the Kagero Publications to be very well done and great to use. Same on this one.

    I used Gunze paints RLM 70/71/65 and sealed with Future and final coated with Testors rattle can decanted Flat& Semi gloss mixed.

    The nose was a resin insert from Mr Barry Numerick and came from the Classic airframes BF-109. I used Eduard pre-painted seat belts. I corrected a few items such as fuel filler and rear antenna connection.

  4. Used Revel of Germany Aqua Color paints for first time on a He-111P from Hasagawa.

    Much less contrast than my usage of Testors RLM 71 and Gunze RLM 70.

    Compare completed Stuka to just painted Heinkel
