  1. Hi, I have a question that I hope you guys can help me out with. I just got the new Revell 32nd F-4G. I also have a Trumpeter F-105G and Academy F-16C and was thinking it would be cool to build them together for a "3 generations of Wild Weasels". Can someone help me out with loadouts? The Phantom and Thud are pretty easy....but the Viper I need some help on. What would be a good Wild Weasel loadout for the Viper? Thanks in advance
  2. Alright guys, That's all she wrote for the GB! I will be pooling all the names that have completed entries and notify the raffle winners shortly!
  3. Ha! That's rich....the guy pretending to be a fictional comic book character is mocking me.
  4. I've shot down plenty of F-22's in my day. There was a local business called "The Other Side" that ran simulators that my buddy and I fly. When we finished flying missions, we usually have some time on our hands so we fly ACM versus each other. He typically flies a Raptor and I like to mix things up. I chose an A-10. The mission controller asked if I was insane.....Nope First pass head on I call "Guns Guns Guns" and the idiot calls out "affirm".....he didn't complete the pass. Second pass....he smarts up and doesn't accept my guns call. I go vertical straight into the sun. As he comes up
  5. I've been struggling with getting a model kit built for awhile, so I decided to try something different. I found these "Real Grade" kits and they looked interesting so I picked up the classic RX-78-2 from the original series and the RX-178 Gundam Mk II from Gundam Zeta. These kits are 1:144th scale, on par in size with the High Grade series. The kits are the typical Bandai multi color plastic, but they've taken it to another level. There are subtle tint differences in different panels The RX-78-2 comes with a small core fighter. While it is small, it still has nice detail. In the origina
  6. The man can develop cutting edge armored fighting suits....and yet he can't learn how to crop photos.....go figure
  7. Is that a person that writes essays for a profession?
  8. Need to pay some bills, and this thing is likely to never get built on my watch..... The box has been opened, most everything is still in bags and on the sprues. I've got about half of a PE set for the shuttlebay as well that a buddy gave me after he built his. Make me an offer, Paypal only
  9. OH NICE! They have one of the prop Spinners from the movie hanging in the lobby of the EMP/Sci Fi Museum here in Seattle. One of my fave movies.
  10. I just saw it last night and frankly.....I want my 2 and a half hours back. I thought it was the worse super hero movie since Elektra. The changes to the costume were really hard to swallow, but not as bad as the chest toupee coming out of the neck of the costume. The action was hard to follow and WAY too dark for Superman. Yes...dark and gritty works for characters for Batman, because Batman is in fact dark and gritty. When you wear blue tights with a red cape....you tend not to be so gritty and dark. All in all, I really really hated this movie. I hate how Lois already knows his identity, I
  11. I remember Mighty Mo being moved. We lived in the north end at the time, in what is now Shoreline. My parents took us to Richmond Beach and there were huge crowds lined up on the cliffs watching as she was towed up the Puget Sound. Not sure it was VAQ-129....or even the Scorps for that matter...I looked at some pics and all the pictures of the Scorpions I could find that had any color on the tails were a black tail with red scorpion tail.
  12. My family took a little road trip today, down through the Kitsap peninsula and up towards Bremerton....as we approached Bremerton from the south, I began to notice very familiar outlines. 5 aircraft carriers sat at the docks of the Bremerton Naval Ship Yard. In the foreground is the USS Independence, the island of the Kitty Hawk is just forward of the Indy's island. And just beyond the Kitty Hawk is the Connie. The Ranger is just out of view and I couldn't get a shot of it as the road didn't have a shoulder. The Stennis is in port and was a few docks down from the Ranger. Here is a close
  13. Yes, it is a tragedy and I am sorry to hear your country is being hit with a disaster of this magnitude. Is that any reason to jump on the OP like that?
  14. I don't know how you think of this stuff.....but you're a freakin genius!
  15. Thank you....I had to go through years of therapy to forget that awful show....
  16. BOOOO! Thick as molasses. Citadel is the worst paint out there
  17. I lost the thumb for a Perfect Grade Gundam kit. Those suckers are not cheap....and getting replacement parts from Bandai is harder than Trumpeter!
  18. I actually don't mind them. I do a lot of mid power rocketry and my rockets range average 3 to 4 feet in length. There is no better way to paint a rocket that size than with a rattle can. I've gotten so skilled with a rattle can I can do color fades
  19. There was an old thread regarding Alan Bussie that compared doing business to polishing a turd
  20. I have just discovered this great war game called Bolt Action. It's a World War II table top war game designed by one of the guys that worked on WarHammer 40,000, so there are some similarities. Anyone out there play?
