Right after the X amount of dollars is used on the border fence.

Sad indeed, but I dont see things improving with ongoing operational tempo, the lack of men and material.

Still looking....

Wasnt RADM Paul Gillcrist flying up till he was 51, while at Top Gun?

Based on the discussion in one of the trailers, I think Maverick is recalled. And, I think he gets recalled because Iceman gets killed. (Kilmer is in the movie, but his real life voice is so toasted after his cancer that he cant hardly have a speaking role. Which makes me think something happened and the next best qual'd pilot is several years retired, hence his being a 30 year Captain) But thats just me. The one thing I find interesting, but means nothing, is that Mav is flying a Top Gun jet, yet has a VX-31 patch on his jacket...

Hello, As noted. I am looking for the windscreen, but would be willing to buy a trashed/partial kit as long as the windscreen is good. (I have a good canopy but a spare is always nice) I can buy or trade some 1/48 US Navy jet decals, of various makers. Thanks!

Me personally, I would never buy them if they were over $40. I tried to get the kit shipped for as cheap as possible. Same goes for the Hase Legacy Hornets.

So, once I actually got the bottle home, shook up and ready to go, yes, it is too light. I have some gloss sea blue, so I was thinking of mixing to shade. For the most part, its one tail, on an A-7. Its not a normal shade of blue that I use often. I will need to play with it a bit.

Thank you everyone. I found some Testors light blue today, that should do it.

Good evening all. I am working on the Hobby Boss 1/48 A-7A, and am using the Super Scale sheet MS481234, for the VA-153 option. They sheet calls for FS25123 which I have not been able to find in an enamel color. Does anyone have a recommendation that would get me close to that shade? I use enamels, usually Model Master. Thanks for the help!

Yes.

Spectre, maybe you, Louie and I can work a threeway trade out? See my post about the B model please?

Thank you for the looksee anyway, I appreciate it!

Bob, I do have a Hase Scooter in 48th. Ive got a resin seat for one as well. I am also looking for a Growler, as I have plenty of Hase Tomcats to offer. Do you want to a deal with him, and then you and I can deal?

I would appreciate it.

I will say this: If you do a Hasegawa Hornet with full length intake trunks, its almost impossible to use resin landing gear bays. The trunks dont fit over the “top” of the gear bay casting. Unless you go paper thin on both.

Anyone?

Lets trade. Im looking for a 1/48 F-18B of any boxing. I have to offer a 1/48 Hasegawa F-14A. Complete. Each pay cheap shipping. I live in Indiana, 47170.

I bought some Authentic decals for the EA-6B in 48th. They were stiff and didn’t lay down well. Eventually after alot of micro sol, they formed. I wont buy another set which is too bad because they are the only maker of VAW-116 Sunkings decals.

I know Brian has had some professional training activities in the last few weeks. I received an email from him yesterday, he is very busy. Fear not, I would give Brian and Mike the keys to my house.

Im wrapped up right now in the middle of moving. Let me get set up out there, and I will message you to see what all you have? If they don't sell, I am interested in the aftermarket Hase stuff.

Well, that doesn't quite work anymore. I usually tell the newbies to go look for the forward bowling alley up between the cats.

I have the Lantirn kit with the parts... I would toss is some coin to cover some shipping to even out the deal.

Back in '93, VF-213 lost a bird on the USS Lincoln, at night. First bird in the recovery, sunk low on final and had a ramp strike that broke the airplane in half behind the wings. crap all over the place with flames down the whole angle. RIO lived, pilot did not. Being in the IO, there was no divert and the rest of the airwing was overhead and low on gas. The spare tanker was buried up in the point behind the NavPole, AND empty. They decided if they couldn't get the deck ready in time there was going to be a whole new submarine fleet right there. Fortunately, the deck was clear and ready in ab
