... My $.02 USD, from the Federal standpoint: It depends on who published the NATOPS. If it's a manufacturer's manual, it's probably copyrighted in some way....
Can't believe that all NATOPS are FOUO. That would probably be a misuse of classification. Besides, the T-2C is now in private hands and hence, no longer...
Additional info on FOUO: The DoD view: For Official Use Only (FOUO) is a document designation, not a classification. This designation is used by Department of...
Well, since I started this thread. Update on the kit progress. Got the starboard flap off today. Scored it almost down to the bottom, then flexed it up....
Well, we haven't actually copied one for publication, but use them as reference to make our own (and better) drawings. My main concern here is that if we find...
Bill and Others, Just my two Euro cents here. As a starting rule, all unclassified documents are allowed to be published or otherwise reproduced simply because...
Well, the Monogram kit (now issued by Revell) is the only game in town. It's not a fall together kit, but it is a huge, satisfying build. There are after...

Well, it seems I sparked some discussion. Having dealt with official and classified documents to include NATOPS from my Navy days, Bill was correct, Official...
Paul, I'm all for supporting people like Steve Ginter, but its not bad form to use or transmit information from public documents. Yes, Steve makes his living,...
I didn't say it was classified, I said it was not intended for general public access. I'm well aware of what's classified and what's not. It's an FOUO...
They are still public documents and can be republished and used if you have access to them. The NATOPS does specify that it can't be used for nonmilitary use...
I'm not taking it personally, and I don't have my knickers in a twist, as you say. I merely pointed out that NATOPS are not generally available to the public,...
I think that would be a very wise direction to take this. Without face to face conversation I have seen these types of conversation on the net elevate to all...
Well, I'm glad that issue went away, and we can get to the important thing: So far there are only a few good men who have answered the call to continue the...

Help! I have a sheet of Microscale Decals, 72-165, which include markings for a Hawkeye BuAir No 150539 when it was used by the Commander Attack Carrier Air...
... Heh. I'm a notoriously slow builder to begin with and Operation Iraqi Freedom has brought all building activities to a screeching halt. Between surfing...
Unfortunately, this was an example of Microscale getting ahead of itself. They repeated that same aircraft (I think) on a later sheet complete with the big...
Yeah, and while I SHOULD and would like to participate, I've got a full platter of stuff for the mag, so I'm out. Paul D. Boyer Senior Editor FineScale Modeler...
John, I think what you are doing is neat. My personal excuse is that right now all I (don't) need is one more commitment to build something. I have already...
Bilek just announced the release of their new HH-53 Jolly Green. I know a few of you were talking about "Jolly Greens" recently, so I thought you would like...
By the most scientific and unbiased approach possible, my favorite eldest grandaughter, with all of the exceptional wisdom and innocence of her 9 1/2 months,...

Rex asked if the HH-53 from Bilek was Italeri's in a new box . . . I don't have the kit, so I can't say - but if somebody in this group finds out I am sure...
