Cool Hand

I'd love to participate, but I'm too broke. Alas, no bucks - no Buck Rogers.

There is also a scoop on the right cowl, just aft of the hole for the starting crank, on the F-4 that was eliminated on the Gustav.

Are you sure that a K-4 is an option? That would require tooling a new left fuselage, because the placement of the radio(and thus the access hatch) was moved forward.

The top 109 is definitely a 109F. The windscreen has the external mounted armored glass.

Great series St. Louis. It's been a long time coming. The boys are back!

Outstanding paintwork.

Sweet Dora. That Hobby Boss kit looks like a real winner.

Can you give any indication as to what is off with the MM colors? They looked alright to me (71 is a bit too light), but I'll defer to your expertise. I'm planning to build Wilhelm Schilling's 109G-2 which is a 70/71 scheme.

The thing here is the fact that Eduard is selling the kit in a "value" version without PE. But if the kit has no given replacement for the PE, then where is the value if the buyer has to go aftermarket to replace what should have been given in the first place?

Sweet deal. Go Sox!

God that looks awful. Although, a true lozenge pattern might look cool on a neck tie.

Great pics Terry. I've got to make time to get to next years show.

I'm in with a 1/72 Hasegawa F-4S from VF-2. Also, I'm planning a Star Wars-ish modification of a 1/48 Hasegawa Bf 109E.

Cough- They should move them back to Otis. -cough!

Where did you find decals for Stigler's G-6?

This. Also, the G model windscreen is not the same as the F. The frame is thicker as the armored glass was placed inside the canopy. I believe the E windscreen is what you would need. Does the F-4 kit not have the unarmored windscreen? The F-2 kit gives you the option.

Great looking stuff. Do you have any distributers in the U.S.?

When does it start?

Excellent pics. Mind if I use this one for a desktop?

"Limp" Richard Classic.

I always figured that forward visiblity over the enlongated nose would be an issue.

Those books are great.

20 1/72 Minicraft Hasegawa FW190A #106 (sealed older kit) Thanks. Happy Holidays!

Just to add to your post, this is from the wiki on the Hawk Missile System: "The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force is reported to have experimented with a number of MIM-23 Hawk missiles for carriage on F-14 Tomcat fighters in the air-to-air role under a program known as SKY Hawk. Iran has also modified its ground-based Hawk systems for carriage on a convoy of 8x8 wheeled vehicles and adapted the launchers to carry Standard RIM-66 or AGM-78 missiles with two Standard missiles per launcher. The Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force had recently revealed its own version of the MIM-23 Hawk the Sha

Outstanding build. :thumbsup Use translator 2. It is much better.
