X4, impressive 👍

Maybe on a future USN Adversaries sheet but VMFT-401 would be out of place on a USAF Aggressors sheet... 😎

I understand the debilitating effects of a stroke and the resulting bitter sentiments, but I would hope this is not how he would want to be remembered. Then again he may no longer care how he's remembered.

Not in spares box but found this: https://www.amazon.com/Mark-Thor-Mk-7-Nuclear-Bomb/dp/B09MTX8YBG

Yes, PM sent. 👍

Nebbor, what is the purpose of the red tick marks on the inlet shock cones? .

White glue is intended for use with porous materials like paper, wood, etc. It won't form a good bond on non- porous materials like styrene.

I have a different take on buying decal sheets. Sure I buy sheets for builds I’m interested in, but I also see well researched sheets as a type of reference material all on their own. A snapshot, if you will, that captures and documents the markings of a subject in a way pictures in a book alone can’t. Even if I never actually cut up a sheet and apply the decals to a kit, the sheet represents a bit of history for me. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. 🙈

wrt paint selection the other HT in Dallas proper isn't any better. Any Hobby Lobby has a better paint selection IMO - and that not an endorsement for HL.....

Dang now I really feel old.... AA-1 first flight, 15 December 2006, I took this on approach . .

As the article shows, it can be built into a decent model but it takes a lot of work. Most don't build a second one. Holding judgement on the new molds until I have one in hand.
