I hate to be a wet blanket, but... I think that unless these are going to be used tactically, they will probably have a very basic, benign paint job, similar to the Navy C-40s.I was once told by a Navy C-40 crew that the goal was to not stand out when they travel the world, I think that could apply to these as well.

Outstanding! Congrats to you both!

Its not the year you want but if you can find these.... https://www.scalemates.com/kits/afterburner-decals-48-048-f-a-18e-vfa-27--278457 or https://archive.aeroscale.net/review/6517/

Its my understanding that the filler they use on the fastener heads need to cure before they can apply the coating to them.

Has anyone seen the latest VFA-154 cruise video from 2021? Well worth the 30 minutes to watch it. On YT.

Deal with confidence! John is a very thoughtful and courteous seller! My decals arrived in fine shape!

I typically dont build the weps till Im into the build of the plane. Then I have a better idea about what kind of ord I want under it.

Thank you everyone for the input. Looks like I will resin cast them.

I guess I can reach out to them and see what they can do. I dont have a data file, just a master piece. I figure it would be easier to print this than to resin cast it. Thank you for the heads up!

No, I dont have a file, but I have a master of the part I want molded. Its a part for an F-18 Hornet.

Unfortunately I live in stickville, and dont know of anyone that knows what 3D printing is, let alone does it. I am sure someone does, but I dont know of anyone and we dont have a commercial vendor of that nature that I am aware of.

Im looking for someone that can print a limited batch of 20-30 items in 1/48. It would be one item, printed 20-30 times. Thanks!

Thank you for the heads up, I just ordered two.

I cant argue with that. I was fortunate to live in Germany for a few years, and to learn the language. Whenever we go back on vacation its like wearing an old pair of comfy house slippers. In some very rare instances, DB will recognize a local municipalities S bahn ticket. (or at least they used to) I was in Hamburg and going to Pinneburg which was about 30 miles away, and served by both DB and Hamburg's S bahn line. I took the DB train as it was boarding sooner (at certain time at night the S bahn slowed down to 1 train every 30 minutes) Anyways, the conductor had no problem with it. Or coul

Sweet!

My decals arrived in fine shape! Deal with confidence with Gary!

What time frame?

Email sent.

Fightertown Decals, and the customer service from Brian and his peeps, is great! I have never been disappointed by any of his offerings.

Also, the LGTR does not attach directly to the pylon.

Deal with confidence, my kit showed up PDQ and in fine shape. Thanks!

Sadly, Ive considered making a trade of 1 for 2 in that direction. I guess if I slug my way through the Hase kit, I will eventually figure it out. I already know my poison with the Revellogram kits.

That does look good!

Thanks everyone, I plan to look through all of this tonight. I didnt get to model anything last night....
