Wow! Stunning A-10 and KC-10!!

Thanks, Drifterdon and Dutch for your offers!! Will keep you in mind if I ever get around to what I want to do (re-engine a couple of ECs, for starters). Tom

At least Academy can sell the Minicraft kits more cheaply. I saw the 1/144 KC-135R for $23 Saturday.

It'd be nice if Academy started selling the CFM-56s again, too. I'm all for an E-6B, too!

I'm not a good enough builder to have anything open. I can barely get a kit built, let alone get anywhere near contest worthy. Tom

Thanks! Wish I knew of some, but I don't. I'm weather guy, not an armament guy. Tom

Apologies for pushing you! If everyone did this to you and you said OK, you wouldn't have a life. Not my intent.. Tom

Hi Johnathan, No one makes Paveway IVs in 1/72, at least. I don't know about 1/48; not my scale. Kits like the Airfix Harrier have a GBU-12 (Paveway II) instead of the Paveway IV. You'd think Airfix could make a good one, since the IV is a British LGB and they and Saudi Arabia are the only users. But no, they don't. I think Olimp used to make one as part of an upgrade kit, but I think Olimp's defunct. Just my two cents. Take it for what it's worth. Thanks, Tom

How about some Paveway IVs for Harriers? Thanks, Tom

Thanks so much for the very enlightening lecture, Jim! Well done! Tom

Nice! I really like that page.

I see Colourcoats and True North paints include FS 36170 now. Wonder how they stack up? Tom

It's 5.5 degrees F/1,000 feet for dry air and 3.5 degrees F/1,000 feet for saturated air. And yes, it's that cold aloft where airliners typically fly. I'm a retired meteorologist and worked my last 25 1/2 years at Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center with the FAA (I was National Weather Service (NWS)). Tom

One of my IPMS chapter members did the Revell box art in the 1960s and still does box art today. He did the latest ZM FW-190A-4 box art. The kit just came out. He also does fantastic models and his wood grain painting is something to behold. Tom
