Take my $$$$ Thanks for this subject line. Cheers Collin

Following here for sure. Does the pilot actually fit? I typically end up cutting off the legs to get my pilots to fit in the cockpit for my in-flight builds. Cheers Collin

Couple of things I see in this photo. 1. Interesting paint on the "Fist of the Fleet" bird in the forefront. Darker....bluer shade of grey? 2. Is that Growler packing a live AIM-120 pm the wing pylon? Cheers Collin

Cheers Collin

Hated painting with Tamiya paints...until I heard on a podcast to use Mr. Levelling Thinner...GAME CHANGER. Tamiya is my "go-to" these days. Cheers Collin

Really just need the VF-301 markings. Cheers Collin

OMG......major flashback....and I fell asleep. Cheers Collin

1/48 Revell Rafale B in Qatar marking via the Caracal sheet. As with every other Caracal sheet I have used, they were flawless. Cheers Collin

BRAVO David.....BRAVO. Cheers Collin

Build it like it should be built....gear up. Gear problem solved. Cheers Collin

120 and a 9M from the looks of it (not an X). Cheers

I'm going to do an in-flight late 80's A-10A....taking the 1/48 HobbyBoss kit and backdating it (removing the GPS puck/warts on the bottom of the tails)...boom, you have an early A. Cheers Collin

Build in-flight...or don't build at all is what I say. BRAVO on your Gunship!! Cheers Collin

I think a lot of us are in (or near) this same situation....and you are right....when you start thinking about it, it is a mojo killer. Collin

Wow…14 year old post resurrected. Brought back some memories of flying in Iraq and AFG. Collin

How does the Frog go together? I was just looking at my kit in the stash. Nice builds. Cheers Collin

WOW Blown A Way Excellent A-10. Cheers Collin

Fun older kit to put together and finish. Oil weather used, prop blur used as well. Cheers Collin

Title says it all. I have two...need a third. Cheers Collin

Thanks Ben… I think I’m just going to use the kit decals and get flamed by the Strike Eagle experts after the fact. Cheers Collin

Thanks for the steer Collin

Glad this thread popped. I’m about to pull out the old Revell F-15E BEagle for an in-flight build and wanted to know if the kit decals happen to be one of the tails that participated in the first nights raid in DS? I’m attached to the 6x MK-20/2xAIM-7 (F’s ?)/2xAIM-9L load out hence the question. Cheers Collin

Excellent looking Phantom

Only late model SWIP-modified A-6E aircraft carried Maverick…either AGM-65E (laser) or AGM-65F (Navy specific IR variant). So if you are doing an aircraft in the 1992 and beyond timeframe…Maverick was carried. In our Airwing we had IR Mav loaded on our legacy Hornets and Intruders typically paired with a GBU-12, maybe a ROCKEYE or two on the Intruder.
