Wow, that would seem to be the whole Model Master II line. I only use the FS colors, but it seems to be a really nice line of international colors which is a shame to lose. If they are going exclusively to American FS colors, it would be nice if they moved some of these FS color to the original lineup (not all, as some are so obscure I'm surprised they made them in the first place).

Not many. For with 1/48 or 1/72 there is basically one choice. Neither is all that accurate.

I just used them for the second time this week. First time was OK. Now they won't stick at all. Can't mask or sand or touch without the whole surface peeling into sheets. I'm hoping that a week of curing and a good clear coat will let me work on it. But, I probably won't buy anymore. The rare colors are nice, but I would rather mix at this point. Also, they dry up in unopened bottles. The first 20 I bought ended up being unusable.

Hello, I'm looking for a couple specific markings for the Shaw 33rd TFS F-16s. I just need the "Falcons" tail bands and the squadron badge for the intake. If anyone has extras please let me know. Thanks, Brian

I'd be interested to see how their FS36170 looks.

Does that thing have a cassette and a CD player? Just like my 99 Grand Am.

And now the 18th AS has a black/white splinter scheme. Video link. So many new ones.

Wow, I thought the Golden Eagle plan was pretty well set, to keep 179 F-15s flying alongside the F-22. I talked to some F-15C pilots last summer , and they said the F-15C program was still going strong with plenty of updates, even thought there aren't any with ACC. But, I guess, at $40 million each to keep them going, that isn't worth it. Although I would think some new builds of the F-15E would be a better investment.

And here is the new scheme. It's a bit different, but I think the F-16 always looks good in something new.

With the demise of Airshow Buzz, and now Fencecheck, are there any other airshow sites left? Alternatively, is there any interest in having a dedicated airshow/ aviation photography forum here?

We've also announced laser weapons for the F-35 . . . down the road. It may take a few decades to implement, but I'm sure it will happen eventually for both forces.

I can't imagine how devastating that is. My condolences.

I have mine stored vertically in large cardboard boxes, organized by subject/manufacturer. I haven't noticed any negative effects.

I think he means actually replacing the F-35 with a F-18. Maybe a F-18H or I, but still something 4th gen. It's absolutely astounding that he would suggest such ignorant idea.

The scheme started with the 18th in Alaska. In 2012 they started adding it at Nellis (first on 86-273). As Shaggy of the 64th explained it to me, the mountains around Vegas have snow on them, for 6 months out of the year, making it still an effective scheme there.

Navy TAC demo F-18 from VFA-122. It flew with this marking since at least the first week of July, I have a ton of photos.

There are Kinetic F-16A/B kits, so you can use the B parts and still have an A kit left. That's my plan if an XL B doesn't come out by the time I get to it.

Deleted for redundancy.

I hadn't heard that about acryl, but Model Master also has them in enamel.

See the thread below about Deceptive Site. I believe there is always the option to ignore the warning to gain access, at least that's what I've done.

Seems the Air Force will be 700 pilots short this year. I'm surprised by this, I would have thought with the reductions in aircraft,there would be plenty.

I was just reminded of the F-5 in the T-50 scheme, I hadn't connected the two before. It should look good on the F-16.

The 64th now has a splinter scheme - looks quite good of the F-16, with a "shark" scheme (whatever that is) coming soon. It looks like I'll have to finally take the challenge and do a splinter build.

They had 8 F-16s out at the airshow, I didn't see any nose art on any of them.

I'm sure people are definitely going to want decal markings for this one, I love any red or black tailed vipers. I put some of my shots of it in the F-16 photo thread. It was certainly a good airshow, I'm glad we got lots of Viper action. Brian
