  1. That looks great Andrew! It wouldn't happen to be one of those Revell F-4Js I sold you would it?
  2. Wow, I have this kit listed in my old Revell catalog from like... 1990 but have never seen it built. Can't wait to see more progress!
  3. Wow! That's the first time I've seen a police department ambulance (the vehicle).
  4. I think the sheet came out before the kit did... so Hasegawa.
  5. Every since I found Luckymodel, it's been between them and the occasional eBay purchase. Heck, I get orders sent here from Raymond in Hong Kong faster than I get some domestic orders!
  6. Glad to see it's finally finished - great work!
  7. Cool! I'll be looking forward to that one. The Flying Tigers is one of my favorite units! Could you post some in progress pics too?
  8. On the other hand: how common is it for NSAWC Tomcats to have the tanks installed? In particular, I am thinking of building NSAWC 13, the brown scheme. Hi-Decal's instructions labeled it as having tanks installed, but I couldn't find a single picture to support that. I like the looks of the Tomcats with tanks much more.
  9. I just got the PE set in the mail and I'm pretty happy with it. I must say it's good value for the money considering you are getting AOA and pitot probes as well. The Fine Molds pitot tubes along sell for what... 7 to 8 bucks?
  10. rafharrier, are you by any chance Piero De Santis? If so then hats off to you! I've seen your F-16CG on Hyperscale and it's one of the most realistic 1/48 replica of the F-16 I've seen anywhere. That model kind of prompted me so switch scale to 1/48! :) This model, along with the other ones you have posted pictures of, is a true inspiration!
  11. Experts Choice made a sheet: Great looking Voodoo so far!
  12. Just finished another successful trade with Dave and, as always, Dave has gone above and beyond! Thanks again!
  13. Gute Arbeit! Hmm... looks like they printed the serial incorrectly...
  14. Does anyone have shots of Luftwaffe F-4Fs armed with AIM-120s? I've only ever seen them armed with AIM-9s.
  15. Wow, didn't know that CBP operated the Predator (or is it?) Do you have more shots of the U.S. Army (?) Eurocopter? Thanks for the pics!
  16. Unfortunately, the decals in the kit are for 94-0047, not 91-0379, the famous 79FS boss bird. 94-0047 and 91-0379 are almost identically painted, except for the difference in 2 tone and 3 tone and the location of the "curve" under the canopy. 91-0379 has the curve behind the canopy while 94-0047 has it under. Also, 94-0047 is 3 tone.

  17. Here you go: http://victorymodels.com/sf6/SearchResult.aspx
  18. You fly jets long enough, something like this happens. In my squadron in Vietnam, we lost many aircrafts and men. The first one dies, you die too. But there will be others. You can count on it. You've got to let him go.
  19. Anyone know who carries this? I've tried Great Models and Luckymodel and they all seem to not have it... yet.
  20. I want to say the light colored ones are from the Tamiya kit.
  21. Sprue shots are up! Well sorta...
  22. Oooo... the ETA has been pushed back by more than a month... Glad I haven't yet preordered.
  23. I don't understand this regulation thing then: the 20FS in HO have to put U.S. insignia on their F-4Fs, but the Tornadoes don't. Some F-16E/Fs I've seen carry USAF tailcodes, but still the UAE insignia. 21FS in Luke carries all U.S. insignia. Point is, I thought the point of putting U.S. insignia on units in training is to identify them as friendly aircrafts so as not to confuse commercial airliner pilots. Why then, do we have this inconsistency? Is is governed by a particular state's laws?
