Alternative 4

The last pic is amazing.

In Munich I would visit the Hofbrauhaus, the beer and food are good (but the service sucks). it is very touristy but worth a visit. There will be other nice places to eat too. The Bavarian's do this thing with a pork hock/knuckle where they roast it over a rotisserie, it's magic. My other recommendation is to just enjoy the countryside. Austria is beautiful.

Great pics. Do you use a ladder to take photos? You are right about Coningsby being an east place to visit, I was driving through the area and accidentally ended up at the end of the runway as two Typhoons were about to leave. Not many places where you are only a few meters from operational jets.

My house isn't big enough for the 1/72 B-52 I brought, let alone a 1/32 one.

My understanding is that Corsairs were delivered to the RNZAF from the factory in the 3 tone US scheme complete with stars and bars. We then painted over the stars and bars with our own markings.

I can't believe no-one commented on this. You did a fine job on the weathering with this one.

It's always nice to see your photos.

Wikipedia suggests the FGA.76 is based on the FGA.9

The best looking F-16 is and F-16 will lots of stuff hanging off of it.

GBU-38's look nice, well the picture on the box anyway.

Shame about the quickboost engine. With your detail work the kit part looks better than the resin one anway.

I would like to build the RNZAF Corsair NZ5350 "STRUGGLE BUGGY", but no-one makes decals for this aircraft. All I really need are the serials and cowling number and nickname as I can use Ventura decals for the rest. Does anyone know of a company which could design and print these for me?

The F-35 looks like an Alien space ship next to the F/A-18. Lookin' all shiny. I note the F-35 has radar reflectors top and bottom.

It annoys me that those jets are not parked in order!

According to wikipedia this aircraft still exists and is in the National Museum of Naval aviation. http://www.joebaugher.com/navy_fighters/f10_2.html This site states: " These tests continued into the early 1980s with three Skyknights (124598, 124630, and 125807) bailed to Raytheon and flown with US Army markings. These were the last flyable Skyknights."
