[Texman]

Those look pretty cool. Not sure I've seen this one done in paper, but I could be wrong. Now the important question...When and where?

[PModel Rookie]

Paragon have this one downloadable on his site,cold wars section(If I'm not mistaken).

[rutzes]

This one is from Pavel Kohno who usually sells his models via derKampfflieger (e.g. Gotha P.60c, Kolko ACA-5, H-21 Shawnee, CH-47 Chinook).

If you look closely at the presented sheets, you'll find out that detailing of the models from Paragon and Pavel cannot be compared.

Old Rutz

[Don Boose]

It's a fine-looking model of a historically important airplane.

I'm still not clear on where I can purchase one, however.

Don

[rutzes]

Romans site is der Kampfflieger card models - Aircrafts (http://www.freewebs.com/kampfflieger/aircrafts.htm) but it seems to take still some time to get it. It's at the very moment not on his site and he didn't announce it via mail yet as he usually does.

[redhorse]

Oh, this looks very interesting!! When will it be available?

[Don Boose]

Thanks, rutzes! That explains why I haven't been able to find it. I'll look forward to seeing a Kampfflieger availability announcement from Roman.

Don

[John Bowden]

ummmmmm........ you need to hurry up and get this one for sale.

The world could end tomorrow (meteor, asteroid, volcano, re-engineered dinosaurs, tsunami (I live 180 miles from the Gulf of Mexico).........)

It would not be good to not have build this model before any of those thing happening :eek:

john

[zot]

It's available from Der Kampfflieger as of today!

[mcboom]

Good day to all.
The model has been on the market today. Two scale 1:72 and 1:48. The scale of 1:33 will be available in the next two days.:):):)

Today in Naval History:

1946 - In first U.S. test of adaptability of jet aircraft to shipboard operations, XFD-1 Phantom makes landings and takeoffs without catapults from Franklin D. Roosevelt.

History:
In 1942 when the US Navy started looking for a manufacturer to design their first all jet powered fighter, they found all of the major companies were at full stretch with war work. So the Navy's jet powered fighter, ended up being designed and built by the young McDonnell Aircraft Corporation. On the 7/1/1943 a letter of Intent was issued for the design and construction of two prototypes (48235/48236) and one static airframe.

The design of the XFD-1 was by a team led by Kendall Perkins, a number of engine arrangements and sizes were looked at as the engine supplier Westinghouse, had yet to build it!, in the end a two engine lay out was found to be superior (on paper) with a mockup being ready by June 1943, however the design was not fully defined until January 1944 with work on the first aircraft starting on the 25/1/1944.

In the mean time Westinghouse were not able to deliver a working engine until October 1944, so the prototype first flew (a short hop) on 2/1/1945 with just one engine fitted, the second engine not arriving until the 4/1/1945. Finally on the 26/1/1945 with test pilot Woodward Burke at the controls the first XFD-1 flew for 49 minutes. However testing of the prototypes revealed a number of stability and aileron problems, with the second XFD-1 (48236) crashing on 24/8/1945 and the first (48235) on 1/11/1945 killing it's pilot Woodward Burke. This resulted in the production aircraft being redesigned slightly bigger with a new vertical tail and a greater fuel capacity.

On 7/3/1945 a contract for 100 production aircraft was issued, but after 8/8/1945 this was cut back to just 60 aircraft, all of which were delivered by May 1948 as FH-1s, the redesignstion being changed from D to H in 1947.

On 21/7/46 during sea trials the second XFD-1 (48236) made the first take off and landing by a US jet powered aircraft on a Navy carrier the USS Roosevelt CVB-42. The FH-1 entered service with VF-17A squadron on 29/4/1947, with the aircraft remaining in service with the US Navy as a front line fighter until 1949 being also flown by VF-11 and VF-172 squadrons. The "Phantom" began to be replaced from 1948 onwards by the F2H-1"Banshee".

The last of the FH-1s were used by the Navy Reserve until 1953. The "Phantom" also was flown by the US Marine Corps from 1947 until 1950 by VMF-122 squadron, making it the first jet fighter to serve with the Marines.

Just to ask...are you sure you should be posting all the pages of a commercial model? I realize they're smaller preview images, but I know it wouldn't be hard for someone like me to save all those images, toss them in Photoshop to reinforce some details, and then build this model completely free.

[zot]

Awesome kit mcboom!

Good day.
I told - I'm working in Photoshop, with the data sheet is useless to do something!. 105h148, 5mm \ 72dpi.
And secondly - the original - in vector!:)

Awesome kit mcboom!

Many thanks I am very pleased to hear that.:rolleyes::)

[Paragon]

Just to demonstrate:

[pahorace]

Thanks Don,
for your historic speech, much appreciated by me.
...
I booked this model, as usually do so with Roman, but the edition in 1 / 33 scale is scheduled for July 23 days.

Orazio

[Don Boose]

I hope you will build this one and post photos of your build, Orazio.

I would like some day to build a series of 1/48//1/50 models of U.S. Navy aircraft of the 1945-50 period (along with the series of Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm aircraft of the same period and Imperial Japanese Army fighters). At my current rate of completion, these will see the light of day sometime after 2050.

Hi Don,
I was struggling with my second Italian aircraft 1/48 scale.
But I am not sure that you will like.
...

I wait with anxiety the year 2050 :D:D

[mcboom]

I see only that file as at me. The small size - which will not be unpacked in any way with high quality.
Absolutely any accuracy and convergence. Also has already lost HALF of that should be visible on the press!
Has not convinced:)

[Rick Thomson]

Just to demonstrate:

Just out of idle interest, I copied a page (not the same as yours) from McBooms post and blew it up to A4 size in Photoshop, I ended up with a very usable image, so he might think of deleting at least some of those pictures.

Rick

[Bomarc]

I just downloaded the 1/33rd scale kit from Roman. Very nice, very intricate. The landing gear alone could be their own separate kit. Even at the larger scale you get all four color schemes as advertised in a LARGE file (27megs), so lots of bang for your buck!

Well done Roman and thanks!

Mike

[pahorace]

I too have received my copy from Roman.
Four liveries, design, color, details, everything extraordinary.

Your right.
All of you equally do not receive enough exact drawing.
