LOL. 11 not 12 men, play on each team. Slow game for sure. Expected more out of each side. BTW, congrats to Spain.

I subscribed to a topic back last year, maybe longer. At first I was getting notifications in my email spam box, then they migrated to my inbox. I've tried several times to unsubscibe to them, with no luck. Does anybody know how to finally turn off these? Thank you, CCAMXS

I hear what your saying Paul. I work on the C-17 in the AF, and have built the Revell offering several times. I would love to see a 1/72 C-17 in injection mould, but it probably will never happen. Now, what I'd like to see, is maybe a C-5B in 72nd scale. Heck, even a 1/144 new tooled C-5. Oh well, we can still dream.

I would like to have this, A4-F BLUE ANGEL 25.00. Will PM shortly.

Yes, well done to everyone in the group build, and to all the raffle winners. Thanks again to the mods and to ARC for having this group build.

This one's complete now. The colors were a real challenge. I can't stand gloss white to begin with. The pictures don't really show off the finish that well. On to the pics. Well done everyone, really enjoyed seeing everyones finished builds. Very nice examples in this group build. I'd like to thank the mod and ARC for having this build. And last one....

Finished, finally. Here's one for this thread. The rest can be found in the group finished thread.

I'm hoping to finish this build tommorrow. Will post picks then.

Joe will take care of you if you deal with him.

Slow progress on the decals. They are a nightmare! If you have a set of these Sword Thunderbird decals, my advice to you is throw them in the trash. They are breaking up everywhere. I had bought 2 sets from members here at ARC. They are very nice looking on the sheets, but shatter into a million pieces when applying them to the model. The pictures don't really show this, but believe me it happened. I've had to do alot of paint touch-up on the red and blue. On to the pics. Alot more headache ahead with the decals. Will post as I move forward.

What shade of blue and red, or FS #? Thanks in advance.

Fantastic builds. They weathering on both are really nice.

WOW! Great work there. Looking forward to seeing this one.

Well here goes. I'm going to try and do this old Thunderbird some justice. I'll pretty much be building OOB, but will be using Sword decals. I'm not the best with white gloss, but will tackle anyway. This is a simple kit to put together, maybe 30 pieces. I have the plane glued up except the landing gear installed. Masked off, and ready for paint. Took maybe an hour to do this. Next, all the decals are cut out, ready to apply when the paint is done. I believe there are as many decals, than there are parts to the actual kit. The decals from the Sword sheet look to be a little larger than

Well I'm finally finished with my C-17A in the Trash Haulers Build. So I'd like to jump in with a 1/48 Bachmann/Fujimi Thunderbird T-38A Talon. I'll post pics in my build thread along the way.

all finished. More in the finished build thread.

Outstanding! Both look really nice.

here's my C-17... Thank you everyone for all your FANTASTIC builds! It's been a real pleasure to be in this group build.

It's going to look flight ready. Your interior work is fantastic!

bump. anyone?

next up, I cut the gear doors: Then I added the rudder seals. The other seals will show later when the rudders are installed. Finally the engine inlets are painted. As you know, not all inlets have the orange sealant in them. I just wanted to add a little color to mine. Back tommorrow with another update.

Ok, small update for ya. I worked the troop doors, filling in the gaps. I'll paint 'em up later then put in the slime light and anti-skid.

Sweet! Fine job on that one.

Thank you Hawkeye for the tutorial. Good stuff!

Rhino, you did a really nice job. Great subject to work with.
