  1. This is freaking awesome! I absolutely love how you’ve repurposed the older resin cockpit tubs. Now I don’t feel the need to offload any of mine and may want to get some more since they cost less!
  2. That VMFA-531 Bug with the multi-color paint looks really interesting Dave. It is nice to see some options that are closer in years to now as it feels like most decals are of aircraft 20-30 years ago.
  3. Noice! I have that kit and have always wanted to get it started.
  4. This turned out to be gorgeous. I really, really, like how the Tomcat (Skystriker) looks in that grey you painted it in. Fantastic job!
  5. Holy cow this is awesome! I want this in my classroom!
  6. Don’t see a classic subject like this very much anymore. Great job!
  7. While I cannot sit here and say I would not like some new Phantom decal sheets because I will certainly buy them, I would like to ask that several decal sets which have been in the cue for a long time be completed first. Ones that come to mind would be like the following: CD 48095: F-4E Phantoms over Anatolia CD 48114: A-37 Dragonfly / T-37 Tweet CD 48129: UH-1 "Huey" in Vietnam CD 48159: Air National Guard F-84F CD 48188: Air National Guard P-47 CD 48195: PACAF F-16C/D Vipers CD 48220: B-57 Canberra in Vietnam CD 48222: OV-10D Bronco CD 4822
  8. That’s a cool scheme. And different too. Reminds me of X-Wings out of the Rogue Squadron comic series.
  9. Will definitely be taking a seat, grabbing some popcorn, and keeping my notepad handy as I have plans to do the same later this year.
  10. These people? Care to clarify exactly what you mean by that? My post about the pictures being clearly misleading is due to the fact that the individual making the comparisons intentionally made it look like the Academy kit is extremely off the mark and not right at all. That was part of the discussion noted by others within the linked posts on the ARC Facebook page that were removed.
  11. Thanks but OIF was terminated in 2011. I can’t remember 100% if I saw Apaches in 08 with them while on my last deployment to Baghdad, but I want to say they did.
  12. You've done a very good job on this. I never really liked the look of the N-1 after its introduction in the prequels but after Mando (and you) got his hands on one my opinion has changed.
  13. those posts were removed as we all can see that they are clearly misleading. Taking the same position as Dave Roof, I’m about ready to not buy this kit at all because of the crap being posted by this person.
  14. Just finished reading Warthog: Flying the A-10 in the Gulf War by William Smallwood for about the third time, and with all this hoopla regarding a new kit, I’m going to get one for sure.
  15. Great job! Love seeing more Cobras.
  16. Hi Kursad, I thought about dropping this in on the future topics thread for your decals first, but figured there would be enough knowledge out here to piece it all together. The group build starts in August so if you have plans for a future sheet prior to that then I’d be more than happy to wait! I’ve come across only 2-3 photos of some of the aircraft, but there was quite a few of them so having options for buzz numbers would be nice.
  17. So I will be participating in a F-86 Sabre group build later this year and have been putting together some decal sheets and kits for options. My main goal is to construct a representation of a camouflage Sabre that could be found amongst various nations across the globe. Originally I was going to go with something from Aztec Models Latin American Sabres or Hi-Decals Iranian Sabres. Then I came across photos of Canadair Sabre Mk. 4s being ferried to Italy and that will be my subject. It is just so unique. Anyway I am in a conundrum as I do not know what to do about the white lettering. I do not
  18. Great job. Very informative on the AM parts used and painting the intake. Appreciate that tidbit. The MiG killer has been on my list of 'to-do' for a while so nice to see it.
  19. where do you put the ones stored away if there’s no space?
  20. I believe Speedhunter Graphics just covered these.
  21. I would say it is highly plausible that he didn't have an assigned aircraft and flew all three that we have photographic evidence of him being with. From what I have seen 'Dream Girl' has 4 kill stars and 'FAYE' has 1. Kill stars on the right side of the aircraft denotes how many the aircraft itself takes credit for and unfortunately there aren't any pictures of him standing on the left side of an F-86 which would show the pilot's credited kills. Even though it was likely that the video of him taxing in 'FAYE' and recounting one of his previous missions was entirely for propaganda purposes, th
  22. A few for thought: 1) a new tooled 1/48 AH-1F (to include later Israeli Tzefa upgrades with markings for Turkey, Jordan, and Philippines) 2) a newly tooled 1/48 OH-58D Kiowa Warrior that is more detailed than the sparse and scarce Italeri. 3) a newly tooled 1/48 AH-1T ( this needs to have markings for both Cobras with HMM-261 that were shot down during Operation Urgent Fury) 4) a newly tooled 1/48 AH-1J (with Iranian markings included) 5) 1/48 AH-1J Iranian Toufan-2 (this is their upgraded J with flat-plate canopy and avionics) 6) more detailed 1/48 UH-1H that
  23. Can I get a quote on shipping to 76052 on the SU-35?
