Guess he's not interested or found them elsewhere

A friend of mine is building the 1/72 B-52D and wants to paint it in the SEA Vietnam scheme. He's very inexperienced with masking with tape and usually rattle cans his models. Is there anyone who makes a vinyl mask set for this? Thanks Jeff

He literally said "besides on eBay" because of limitations and cost.

I've got the sheets: SuperScale 72-615 & SS 72-620

Started this oldie as a side project while waiting on other stuff to dry or filler to cure. It's quickly taken on a life of it's own. Short shot the lower tail plane, so I cut it away and will replace with thick card and shape. The cockpit and seat came from an F-102 kit. It came off eBay without the clear sprue, so it became a doner kit. I'll source a new instrument panel, since the Deuce had a radar screen and hood. Probably something WWII. The putty is where I slipped with the grinding wheel and gouged the plastic a bit. Paint job will be a

As has been said, the engine covers really make the whole model pop. Great job with the tanker!

Gorgeous Herk. Love the mix of color, with the greys. Excellent work!

That is some spectacular work. Great job with the complex scheme, decals and weathering. Great idea. -Jeff

Wow, another cool project to watch. It's already looking great with the extras you've added. -Jeff

Impressive amount of resin bashing and scratch building detail! And looking forward to your conversion from an Early F-4E to a later-ish one. -Jeff

Good call.

It's a real jet on the ramp at March AFB. Look up N825KW.

Taxied past this Eastern 767 the last couple of days. Thought of your 737 project.

See this thread from last year

Simple build of a nice classic kit. Well done. The Mikoyan pin is a great touch.

Good lord, that's a great model. I'm floored by the weathering. Captured that faded look perfectly. That's what I love about this hobby. How we push techniques further to achieve results that make them look more lifelike. Congrats! -Jeff

They sure do. The ANG/AFRes has a large part of the mission. California, Colorado, Wyoming and Nevada. Of more interest is this proposal for the C-27J to join the fleet of aircraft. Could be great for Europe. https://www.maffs.com/c27j/ -Jeff

Thanks for the intel on the Heller kit. My Hasegawa kit arrived yesterday, but I wasn't home to sign for it. So I'll retrieve it today and crack it open. I think you're spot on about them getting more Deltas overseas where they can get their eyes on one for an update. Until then, I'll wait. Thanks all! Jeff

Link is broken, but was able to view it externally. That's the MAFFS II unit, for aerial fire fighting. -Jeff

Pretty cool looking -47. The faded and bleached paint, plus patches and dirt look great. -Jeff

Pretty cool Brent. Yeah. they've got a really unique look with the added equipment.

Those are stunning! Incredible detail.

What a great idea! Seeing all the various C-135 types in this type of display is very cool. -Jeff

Good question. It's been quite some time. Doing some research, I see they're repopping the Hawkeye 2000 kit in JASDF markings for this year. Just pulled the trigger on one from Japan. At least I'll have a base kit, if a 3D guru comes up with a conversion. Cheers! Jeff
