Super cool tail art on Sniper F-5F over on their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=203323555545820&set=a.122523016959208

SUU-13 is now available for anyone else looking to add this to their collection. Purchased a set myself and they are very nicely done.

Sprue Brothers has the Wolfpack Decal sheet over on Ebay. I just picked up a sheet so I'm good. Maybe someone else is still in need of decals for a 1/48 F-5A or C.

Thanks Dutch, but it appears those are the 1/72 sheet, I was looking for the 1/144. Looks like KursadA is may reprint for us 🙂
Pretty sure I have a spare 1/144 EC-121 sheet in the decal stash.

Disregard. Tried adding a phot of F-4 64-0968 with the ND air guard that says the happy hookers on the tail flash but it won’t load for what ever reason.
Do you have a link for this pic? Sounds interesting.

Gentlemen,
The Heller 1/72 E-3B/F Sentry (Nato Version) must die. There, I said it.
"Nay, I sought not this burden, 'twas thrust upon me...
and now, with creaking joints, I
assail that which hath vexed me beyond endurance.
Again, I wield Triumph, hallowed X-Acto of lore, it's handle cut and scarred by past travails
warmly recalled,
The acrid tang of Thin Set cuts the air, mingles with the elusive musk of forbidden styrene.
To the bench I move, older, aye, and burdened beyond my years, 'tis true...
And yet, once more, like a Sisyphus
I begin."
Tennyson, I think. Maybe one of the lesser Victorian Romantics.

This is the best thing I have read yet this year. Absolutely love it!

Super Scale did a couple sheets years back, 48-381 F-89J 84th & 465th FIS and then 48-382 F-89J 66th & 76th FIS. Both are long discontinued. I just did a check of Ebay and neither are showing up. They do pop up every now and then. Maybe put in a request down in the Wanted section.

I found one gunsight in a parts box and am using a newer Revell kit I had in the stash for parts so that leaves me with needing just one more gunsight to be able to complete the kits I have.
So I'm still on the hunt for one single Monogram/Revell gunsight, part #50.

How did you get to model a 1/48 A-1E in the first place?
Tim
It’s the Matchbox kit with a scratch built cockpit using a Monogram wing and gear and horizontal tail planes. I have a couple other Matchbox kits but this time I have the old Cobra Co. resin cockpit set. Not sure if I’m going to use the Monogram wing again or source a Tamiya wing.

Don, I have 3 1/2 bombs from 2x A-37 kits...I think the missing half is gone forever but will send what I have.
Chris
Chris,
I'll gladely take whatever you can provide. I may be able to laminate some sheet styrene and do some carving and sanding to get the other half of the missing bomb. Now I just need to round up another pair and I should be good to go. Thanks a million for helping me out.

Heya Dutch, I have a bunch of those but I'm trying to replicate this loadout and they are different from what comes in the Hasegawa set. These in the pic are what comes in the A-37 kit. At least to my untrained eyes they do.

I think this picture I took at AMARC really shows the contours of the F-105's nose to great effect. The spraylat coating gets rid of all the distractions caused by camouflage and radomes to reveal the shape of the nose.
Great pic. It also highlights the distictive shape of the canopy that the model manufacturers got wrong.

Dauntless Hobbies (rebelalpha on eBay) has four available. Scott Z. is a great dealer and person.
Totally agree that Scott is great to deal with. Never any issues and always comes through.

I saw those crazy prices Jeff. That’s why I’m trying to get a little help here on ARC.

I can donate however many are in the kit I have...

Awesome Chris. There is just two in the kit. The tanks with the fins on them are drop tanks. I'll take what I can get. Looking to hang eight (8) of these on a Skyraider I'm currently building. Put the 135's on the back burner.

Like title states, I'm looking for some napalm canisters in 1/48 from the Monogram A-37 kit. They are parts #56 and 57 and are items B in the instructions. Looking for as many as I can get my hands on. Thanks for looking.

Sold! Perfect timing on these. I'm building an A-1 Skyraider SAR gas bird and was trying to figure out how to model the underside of the shapes I have from an old Minicraft Blackhawk kit.

Awesome KC Chris. I love those engine covers. Really adds a splash of color. Don

Thanks Dutchmaster. Much appreciated. I have a Special Hobby Cobra that just may get this paint scheme. don

This is super cool sir for a cobra. Is there a key to the color codes? I'm not sure what the G; FD; S are or their FS numbers. And I'm guessing the black areas are just that, black.

Hey Ernie. Got 'ya covered (in Fulcrum Grey/Green enamel). Just dug through the paint stash and found an unused jar sitting on the shelf. Shoot me a PM and we can talk turkey.

Yes, same kit just different company name.

Regretfully, while dusting shelves, I noticed that the pitot of my Blackbird has at some point gone missing. Could have been the kids, the wife or my fat hands shifting things around that broke it, but a thorough search came up blank.
Of course I could buy a whole new kit but I liked the build and would rather keep it. Does anyone know of an aftermarket source or have the part in their chest-of-tiny-bits?
I think if it were me, I'd drill a small hole in the nose and replace it with a fine needle. Helps with the breaking off later on.
Just an option if you can't find one here on the boards.

Hi everyone,
All prices include shipping in CONUS. I'm willing to entertain offers especially on purchases of multiple items so make me an offer I cannot refuse!
Decals:
- 1/48 TwoBobs F-5N Modern Adversaries -$7
- 1/48 TwoBobs F-5F/N Defenders of the Conch Republic - $7
Interested in these two decal sheets. I also tried to PM but can't.

What color were the M47 WP bombs painted during SEA?

Looking for a good color match for the pale green of the M47 White Phosporus bombs used during Vietam. The closest I can think is the pale green that the Israeli AF used on their early jets.
