Very impressive!

I'm finding this tread alternatively infuriating and hilarious (thanks for the gouge on the team in the mountains mixing colors for us all🤣). I hate to say this as someone who gets AMS himself, but everyone just relax! Build the best model you can, but at the end of the day, its just a model.

I see you now have LAU-68 rocket pods, but they are empty. Do you plan on doing these with rockets loaded as well? Also, will they be available in 1/72? I could really use several of these with both the older unguided rockets and with the newer APKWS. Thanks!

The entire point of me using acrylic paints is to avoid using smelly lacquer thinner.
I have similar reservations, as my modeling space is "landlocked" and I cannot run a fume hood. I spray only acrylic, but my final airbrush cleaning after the air is off and I have disassembled the brush is to wipe everything down with some lacquer thinner. I keep the gloves and respirator on for that part. Not too much odor/fumes from that as the volumes are much smaller and I do not atomize the lacquer by spraying.

Have you tried Stynylrez from Badger? I have used their white, gray, and black versions of this acrylic primer and have been happy with the results. Goes on thin and sands nicely, thinning down like plastic or good putty rather than peeling off like latex wall paint. Link to the manufacturer's site

Oooh - very exciting! I'm a sucker for Vipers in the One True Scale, and I missed 72060, so I may pounce on both. Do we know subjects for the new sheet yet? I presume the ones from your recent 1/48 sheet, plus one or two more? (hoping!)

Very nice build and composition!

Sad news. Rest in peace.

Rest up and feel well!

Yes, I think this is the CEC. LINK

Very nice!

Wow! Love the Canberra, and your whole VT ANG collection!

Very excited for the Early F-16 sheet! Have a Hasegawa YF-16 that could use good decals.

Yes, there seems to have been some confusion here, sorry. I was aware that the link I posted was to the F3H-G/H. I was using it only as a comparison to the original post photograph, in which I was mentioning that the second cockpit canopy could not be seen, or at least was not clear. Because I did not see it I was really questioning if this was an early F4H.
I have since watched the linked video and see that it is indeed the F4H-1/F-4A mentioned. It is a testament to how low-profile the original second cockpit canopy was that it can so easily be overlooked from some perspectives. Did not mean to stir anything up!

Help me out here, guys. I'm only seeing one cockpit! Could this be some kind of mockup of the McDonnell F3H-G/H? The rest of the airframe look like an F4H, so maybe this is some strange hybrid?
-
Excellent work! Nice kit, nice subject, and VERY nice modeling!
-
Keep yourself safe! Decals are nice but we can wait.
-
Fantastic! Thanks!

Things we don't see much - thanks for sharing!

Per Dana Bell's USAF Colors and Markings in the 1990s the basic C-9A was FS 16473, Aircraft Gray.
The USAF SAM C-9C was base color FS 16515 (Boeing Gray), FWIW.

See the excellent Desert Storm site for information on where the CALCMs were loaded. Good luck with your build.

Thank you for sharing your excellent photos. Nice to see small bits of color come onto the USAF F-35 fleet.
