Hey, Chuck sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. Me and the family have had a very crazy year. I am finished with the microfilm. I can send it back to you A.S.A.P. Can you message me your address to ship it to. Thanks!! Again, I AM VERY sorry for the delayed response! Thank you so...

Hey, there, good to hear from you again! I have found several planes that he flew. They had a shortage of planes, so they flew different aircraft all the time. One that sticks out to me is a P47 Razorback. Fuselage #57. I am not sure, but I believe I may have found a photo of it. My Grandpa flew...

No, I don't have his log book. All I have is the reports of his missions. Basically the dates of the missions, takeoff and landing times number of aircraft flown, and a brief before and after mission report. Is there anything else that might have the serial # of the aircraft?

So, anybody know if I can find a serial number from the fuselage squadron number? Or would they not be linked at all? Any help is appreciated!

Ok, guys, quick update! I FINALLY got to start checking those reels of film out. At first I was discouraged because I wasn't finding anything, but I kept digging. Sure enoug, I came across a small report of my grandfathers crash. Further searching helped me come across what I had REALLY been...

Yes, chuck, I received it on friday, in good condition. Woohoo!! Sorry, I forgot to write you and let you know. I had a busy weekend....... Anyways, I haven't got to look at them yet, but plan to in the next couple days. The only thing is I noticed on the boxes they came in, that on the outside...

Well, I can make them any size, its just getting them the exact size that might be hard. I don't know if there is a way that you can get me measurements of the correct sizes or not, but I can always print them out on paper and check the size until I get it right. Again you guys will have to send...

Hey, Rogi, ill see what I can do with that decal. I am somewhat limited to what I can make, but I will certainly try to get you guys what you need! What are you looking for exactly A4K? If you guys can get me some photos or some designs of what you want let me know. I can do lettering and...

Nice, Viking! Black and red, my favorite! I bet that looked awesome when finished! Got any photos of it? Hey, Rogi, do you have any photos of what the 64th sentai Eagle looks like? I might be able to make one on my program!

Not sure if this is where to post this at, but I could find any other place. This may be a very, VERY stupid question :oops:, but I was just curious if any of you great modelers here on this forum have ever made, or wanted to make a kit custom to what you would want yours to look like if it...

Thanks guys for the suggestions! Ill give it a try. I tried it before on a 1/72 P-47. I took a round paint bottle that was about the right size arc, and traced a quarter of the circle onto some masking tape. It seemed to do the trick and make a perfect arcs. I just was curious if there was some...

Thanks, Chuck, much appreciated! I look forward to receiving them! I will be sure to keep you all updated on my findings. Nice planes, Chuck! Do you happen to remember how you painted the curvy red cowling on the P-47? Asking anyone, is there an easy way to get a nice even all over shape to it...

Hey, '44, sounds good! Ill be watching my mail. I am extremely excited to start diggin into the microfilm. I have been hoping for something like this to come my way. So, yes, I am VERY motivated. lol. I think it will be so neat to look into the past and dig up new information that I, or any of...

Hello' again '44! that would be wonderful to be able to view those!!! I believe my library has a machine to view them on. My email address is [email protected]. I have been trying to research the 40th on-line' and have found some stuff, but not as much as I would like. So those microfilms...

I am still around!!! Haven't been on in awhile though. Yes, I could use as much help as you could give me. I am trying to model all of the aircraft that my grandfather flew. I have no idea what the serial number or squadron number his planes carried. I have found his name in the list of...
