any guess on when things will go live?

When can we expect the registration to go live for registration? The hot links don't work yet

I've been on evilbay several times in the past month looking for the sheet in 1/48...no joy. I accidently bought the 1/72 sheet. I've copied it and blew it up to 1/48...IF I can't find the 1/48 sheet that's what I hope to use to get a new 1/48 sheet made from.

it appears the web site you referenced is for sale now

HELP NEEDED! Guys, I need someone who has the capability to print white for a decal sheet. I can't finish my YF-23 PAV -1. I have a pattern and colors I just don't have the capability to print white/light gray. Need a response ASAP as this is the only thing holding this model up from going to Richmond at the end of the month.

on the way

guys, need assistance/primer on clear resin casting...not a real fan of vacuforming them. I need to replace the clear parts for a 1/48 Ki-45 Nick and any direction on how to cast clear parts...I have a replacement but at the cost of a new kit...I'd hate to junk a new kit for the clear parts. I can use the clear parts as a master for casting purposes.

Back in the mid 80s I completed a family tree of the Eagle Squadrons/4th Fighter Wing which I gave to the wing to present their heritage, last year the historian told me the Spitfire was missing so I replace it. When I delivered the Spit I discovered their Hurricane, F-86, F-4E, and F-15E were also missing. The Hurricane was later discovered in another display (damaged). I have an F-15E (Revell) I can replace that with and another one for my own collection in progress but I'm not sure I'm going to replace the others unless it's on commission this time. The last collection I finished before this that I intend to rebuild in part at sometime is the main 8 jets of my career 4 each F-4E, 3 F-15C and an F-15D.

As promised on facebook I'm publishing shots of my latest collection completed. The family tree history of the 67th Fighter Squadron currently stationed at Kadena AB, Okinawa Japan. The 67th was established in 1941 in Louisiana flying P-36 aircraft. According to Wikipedia they moved around the states for a year until they deployed to the south Pacific in 1943 and began flying the P-39/P-400. They moved to the Philippines in late 1944 and began flying the P-38 until the end of the war. The 67th was slated to become the first jet unit in the Pacific flying the P-80. Once the Korean war began the switched to the F-51and flew ground support. The transitioned to the F-86 during the last year of the war and flew it until the mid 50s when they transitioned to the F-100D. The flew that until the early 60s when they transitioned to the F-105D/F which they also flew in Viet Nam. In 1967 they transitioned to the F-4C which they flew until 1979 when they transitioned to the F-15C/D which they still fly today.

For some reason I want to think these things were stored at an airfield near San Fernando at what was probably the old Del Carmin Army air Base. I'd guess they have since been scrapped. I think the two photos from Koku Fan are the only shots of those jets I've seen.

here is the shot from Koku Fan April 1997 I used for reference my F-8 in Philippine markings.

Thanks for the offer, I managed to muddle through...I'll try to post some shots here later, finished the plane several years ago. If I get a chance I hope to meet you guys next summer, wife is going home to Bulacan and I'll follow a little later in the summer.

We can help you by sending you a soft file and you can print in on an Ink Jet Decal Paper. What are "IPMSers" for??:) Tell me what width you need specifically. We actually create the decals ourselves from Ink Jet decal sheets. who were you replying to?

nice build, a couple years back I had a KOKU FAN magazine with some photos of Philippine F-8 in a 2 tone paint. I used the Monovell F-8 to try to replicate it. Had a hard time finding PAF national markings that would work on it though.

Clare, all that date means is that is the date of that primary basic book, My copy's is change 4 dated 31 Jan 1997 of basic revision dated 14 May 1994
