RE: Models
Phantom, i have the hasegawa japanese amigo F4EJ kit,with the verlinden cockpit and radar, which i will pluck up the courage to make soon, i believe that the marking has somthing to do with a gunnery meet-if not that then definitly a squadron anniversary. I have also made the 92/29 sqrn aircraft in overall roundel blue, which i thought looked nice, your probably aware but there is a flash new magazine out in europe at least which is bi monthly and is called scale aircraft modelling, it is completely in colour, and a special phantom scheme section has begun atthe back-thought it might be of interest.
dutchy, is it the cranked delta wing type of f16 that you are after??? if so, i think that hasegawa made one of those a long time ago, so that might still be available, if you look in the right places.

RE: Decal question…
I dont think there is a more advanced version of the XB70 other than the amt/ertl kit. you can buy clear decal sheet from more than one producer, which you can find at http://www.hannants.co.uk a very good model shop here in london, but they export aswell, pretty good all round, i believe there is an aircraft in detail book about the valkyrie, and since you can hardly see through the windows, the only main problem is the wheel wells, and bomb bay, if you wish to have it open.

RE: me too…
LAST EDITED ON 30-09-01 AT 02:42 PM (GMT)[p]there is the academy 1/48 mig 29ub, there is some rather obscure model of the su27, in 1/48 and i know they do it in two seater because i had one!! there is a resin cockpit kit for this model too, there is the italeri 1/48 rafale, i believe that it has just been released in the two seat version also, if not i think its not far off, the same goes for the eurofighter. italeri also do the F22 in 1/48, i dont know about the su37- think you might be out of luck there!! unless you can be arsed to go through the conversion of a su27

RE: me too…
but damnably good fun, if a little shortlived!!!!!
i do build scale models, am into 1/48, mainly all i have room for!!! i generally build WW2 prop aircraft and have a little penchant for luftwaffe, but i do build allsorts, have just finished revells 1/48 eagle- have to say it is very good and worth while the little money it costs-am hoping to get a skyray now frank! with the resin wing fold so it’ll fit in a box, have finished all sorts i couldnt comment on the number i have certainly not a thousand anyway~!!!!!! my father has basically the whole collection of airfix kits save a few airliners and a few that originally came out in bags, because of the price!!! its all his fault!!!!!!! funnily enuff i was never into hanging them from the ceiling!!!!! i am now moving into the RC electric scene, and am thinking on getting the funtec sky scooter to enter-but want one of those american single stick controllers to come with it!! it has v tail mixing i believe which will enable great possibilities in the future i hope!!!

RE: BA & concorde pilot trouble
may i ask what a 744 looks like????:7 the pilots you spoke to are not concorde crew, and therefore have a biased opinion i would suggest, perhaps even the green eyed monster comes into play in events such as this????

RE: Arrogancy in this forum
constructive criticism is that much more nicer than just tearing someone apart, I would hope that if I made a mistake I would be corrected on it!!
