ok so i will soon be starting my enterprise D model . for paint ideas im going to try and go with the studio model colors used. 2 of the colors that were used are fs-24516 green and fs-15526 blue but do these colors match sky green and RLM 65? or what would be close to these colors?

i think the best way to anwser the guys quation is how much dose he have to spend?? if the person dosnt have very much then go for monogram thats what i say. but if money is no problem then go for hasagwa/hobby boss

this reminds me of the tomcat vandy 1 and the fact that there were 4 tomcats but i only have decals for 3 of them

actully i think we have the same sheet because super scale/microscale makes the punkin dogs retirement sheet in know cuz i have it and its in 1/48

i like the 4 sparrows. i looked at the pictures i have of the jet your doing. and since you have the same kit i have just put the plyons used to attach to the fuel tanks on the bottom of the aircraft where the intakes are. then just paint gloss gull grey and white. and the petials in the engine are a poale burnt metal color

so wich pukin dogs decals are you useing? because i do have pictures of lots of there tomcats

if you need any tomcat help hit me up and i can help. i might even have a picture of the tomcat that u whant to model

ok if it is so bad than what resin parts are out there that can be used to fix the kit?

jay let me know when you star seeing them in the states. because i have 2 on order and what ever happened to your book idea?

spaceman how much dose the kit cost??

i just got the word that REVELL of GERMANY is reissueing the space shuttle with the 747 in 1/144 scale so now this means you can now build any thing from the enterprise 747 glide tests to endeavors last flight. and is should be out some time this month when i get the word from my hobby shop that is out to by ill all of you know

so vince let me know if i can be of any more help. and is tango papa decals still in bissness? if not how are the shuttle decals from jbot??

if you need any more pictures i did a fully walk around of her this year

i started a group on facebook

i go to a lot of model shows is it posable to make a TA-4 2 seater skyhawk out of the monogram OA-4M Skyhawk kit? and what would need to be done to the kit? and the leading edge slats on the blue angels skyhawks would they be ploshed or dull?

ok gtypecanare where and how did you get so much tamyia stuff??? its like u have ur own hobby shop

so what would be the leading edge of the wing be for the blue angels phantom and while were at it also the sky hawk would they be polisheded or chromeme like or dull and flat?
