Haneto, i will definately look up that article. I dont see what your Latin American GB effort has to do with anything. To some extent, WW2 axis subjects do sadden me. I dont know of any good patriot thats not saddened by the loss of any military member peace or wartime. Thats not to say you shouldnt build then, its just my opinion. I guess these are war machines and to quote Robert E Lee "It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we sould grow to fond of it."

You have great modeling skills. that beeing said, it was never proven that Lt. Speicher was downed by a Mig. His body was discovered in 2009. This Modeling subject saddens me as an American.

Good Job on the cockpit! I wanted to add that if you can find a Dragon 1/144 kit they come with all 3 chin pods for A, B and D. Also they have really good weapons, bombs, and missiles etc. and the targeting pod that goes on the right side glove pylon. Keep up the good work!

Are they still in production? Ive gotten them from squadron before and they have none!

Can anyone show me, possibly with pictures how they install their 1:72 scale steel beach intake covers. I have made paper ones to practice, then tried the acutal ones, and they did not really work at all. im sure im doing somthing wrong, because i have seen them look nice, but not for me. thanks in advance.

Does anyone make or know where to get a 1:72 wingfold kit for an S-3 viking

How does one mix paint when it says to mix, for example, 80% white and 20% blue. is there a special cup or somthing?

Wow Andy Mullen!!1 you did a fine job with those old ones!! maybe i wont give up on them just yet. on a more positive hasegawa note, i have about 7 of the newer hasegawa kits and they look awesome!!! by the way Andy Mullen. i much enjoyed your website with all of your models, especially the Tomcats, but i have not been able to get on it for the past week or so. will it be up and running agian soon?

holy cow!! i bought 3 of these babies, the older ones with the VF-74 markings, and i open them up and to my shock, Raised panel lines??? ***??? They really werent cheap by any means. i feel my academy 1/72 is much better, as all the panel lines are recessed plus it cost 10$ less.Any tips on how to make the hasegawa kit look better are much appreciated.

How does everyone attatch landing gear doors, especially 1/72 tomcats? Ive been trying Zap a gap, and it works, but it just doesnt look clean. Any tips or tricks?

well i hope my 1/72 covers look as good as your 1/48 covers. Very cool model with nice weathering!!!

PHANTOM, I dig your vf-103 F14B with the steel beach covers. Question though, i thought hasegawa 1/48th kits were a nightmare to build, you siad you built that in 4 days!!!! how did you do it?

Thanks guys, these pics should help. dont hesitate to post more though!

Can anyone show me steel beach intake covers for the 1/72 F14 so i can see how they work, and how much trimming will be involved. Thanks!

Whats everyones favorite website/cataloug to get 1:72 Tomcat decals from? thanks

Does anyone have a place they get 1:72 tomcat canopies from? Thanks!

Has anyone had a problem with these? The parts tree goes right into the side of the canopy!! how dumb!!!!! Will the micromesh polish system work to fix this problem?? Thanks in advance

Thanks guys for your input. Does the Humbrol come in a spray can?? By the way Andy Mullen, you are my hero!!! at least one tomcat for every squad. AWESOME!!

What brand of 16440 do you guys use on your models? i use modelmaster out of the spray can ( i dont have an airbrush) and it always seems to be a bit to "tan" compared to navy jets you see in pictures. Maybe its just me. I was wondering if any other brands of spray paints had a more "gray" look.
