Just looked this up. Sprue Bros has this setStikpusher wrote: ↑Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:54 pmAFV Club does a set of 1/48 US aircraft ordnance? Nice! Can you post a frontal box view of that please Mike? Nobody has made those high drag M117s in 1/48 before... looks like that they also have the Mk.82 "ballutes" too! long overlooked pieces of ordnance.

Re: Latest Acquesitions - pt.3
A couple more additions. Wanted to try using Mr Finishing Surfacer to prime kits. Also needed a new pair of clippers.

Paint & thinner. Mr. Color thinner should solve my airbrushing issue using Mr. Color paint in my stash.

I've had great success with Mr Color and their leveling thinner. I mix 50/50 and it sprays great.
Thanks,

It's taken me ages to find these - hence the late replyStikpusher wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2024 8:30 pm The Hind can do more than rescue a downed aircrew, it can carry an 8 man squad as well as a weapons load. It’s a pretty bad ass machine… even after all of these years.

My old Local museum had a Hind-D that was purchased by BAE for some planned avionics upgrades that I don't think happened. I think it was an old Polish aircraft. I said to them often that they should re-paint it in proper markings and re-fit the rotors. (I'd also like to say that I'm a good few stone lighter now.)
