Hi guys! Finished CafeReo's F-8E Crusader (converted to a F-8C with parts from Platz's F-8K). The Scooter is from Platz and the Spad is from F-toys which were completed earlier. Thank you for looking. Cheers! Just the planes

Thank you for the kind words guys. Yes, they are CafeReo's Hornets. I prefer its shape vs Revell's. The decals are custom printed, not very good but turns out ok.

A comparison sprue shot between Revell mudhen and Takara Tomy's which I received recently. Takara Tomy is more detailed. Not sure if it is worth the price though... Cockpit is one area Revell is better! No amraam. Takara Tomy has a whole series of weapon set for F-15s & F-4s <-like Hasegawa :(/>

Ahem, Takara Tomy's 1/144 mudhen? All nicely pre-painted & decaled. Got intake covers too. Will cost you 4x more than Revell's though...

Just finished a pair of VFA-86 bugs. Stuck a lot of Prieser figures around one... Thank you for looking, cheers!

Hello Sernak, I not aware of any detail set for 1/144 F-5E except for this: http://www.ka-models.com/index.php?route=product/product&keyword=1/144&category_id=0&product_id=496 boarding ladders for F-5s & F-15s can also be bought from here: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/ET-44030

Hello Salvine, I have used the hi-viz samurai and still got 2 sets of the low-viz samurai. If you want one, PM me your address and I'll send it over. Oh, the low-viz also came with non red eye version (I think it's a correction of a mistake). Cheers

Completed Cafereo's F-2A Used 3 sets of MYK's decals (caution data, special TAC scheme and camou pattern!) Also used Zactoman's ejection seat (from his F-15E resin upgrade set) Just the model: Thank you for looking. Cheers!

Very nice build! Looks bigger than 144.

Thank you for the kind words guys. The runway was printed on an A3 sheet. I went to Google Map and took a snapshot of an airport runway (my case Heathrow). I then filtered it with motion blur in Photoshop. Astra decals is excellent, very comprehensive - covers just about every squadron in GAF. The film is very thin and went on nicely without any silvering. Definately recommended.

Just completed an excellent Revell's tiny Starfighter. Basically OOB, I dropped the flaps & opened the airbrakes. I also used decals from Astra's - very finely printed set of decals. Thank you for looking. Cheers!

OK, the models themselves: It's a prepainted kit - just add glue. (boarding ladder is scratch built) Level of detail is impressive. Starscream version Oh, one Chevy Camaro added as bonus

Unfortunately I don't have a pair of giant transforming robot models to finish the story... :P

Hello Salvine, MYK decals are meant to be used on F-2A/B produced by cafereo: http://www.algernonproduct.co.jp/old/jwing5.htm which IMHO is the best F-2 in 1/144 scale They are difficult to find on the market now. However they have annouced a reissue in April: http://www.algernonproduct.co.jp/pro_mas_as.htm Alternatively, the decals can be used on the Doyusha's: http://www.doyusha-model.com/list/figure/genyouki_collection/20_f2b_t4.html Almost as detailed but lacking in assesories (fuel tanks, ASM, AAM) and still can be found on ebay. Both kits are pre painted & partially assemble

Hi, Just got this from the slow boat from Japan. Lots of detail! Came pre-painted but need glue to assemble. You can build it with landing gears up/down, weapon bays open/close, flaps up/down, canopy open/close and horizontal stabilisers are moveable. 6 x Amraam, 2 x Aim-9x and one bumblebee! Also included a pair of very detailed pilots with JHMCS helmet! Transformer 2's version...

Revell's kitty hands down! It comes complete with plyons, AAMs & fuel tanks. I've built one recently and it turns out good There are some resin upgrade set for it by Goffy Model, not to mention quite a few aftermarket decal options. I think Ace & Platz are from the same mold. Dragon & Italeri's are the same mold.

Don't worry, no hard feelings. Cheers!

I used the decals for my JASDF F-4EJ from the above Platz kit. I had to cut out those big yellow bands and add additional decals from my stash. As for the Platz kit itself - I didn't use it as it has some shape issues. The wings & fins are too thick and the nose is off. All my F-4s came from F-toys' US Navy Collection It's a bit hard to find one now on ebay. BTW their Corsair & Intruder are also excellent and still readily available. I did not cut up the carrier film unless I have to (for flaps & slats), they are much easier to handle in large chunks. The carrier film for both

Hi, the pilot figure comes Preiser's Nato pilot & ground crew set (77100). Had to multilate him to make him fit onto the ladder. Cheers

That F-4D was also made from F-toys's F-4J (imho best 1/144 phantom), the decals are from MYK design. Please visit my Flickr set to see my collection of Phantoms: Click here Cheers!

Guys, where I come from the cutting mat comes in centimeters. Seriously, why do I want to cheat? Anyway proof: On my ridiculously large hand.

Thank you guys. I didn't take much photos of the build progress. This might help: The white parts are F-toys' and the greys are Doyusha's A shot of the cockpit:

A very dramatic diorama! Very impressive indeed!

Just finished this JASDF F-4EJ kai. It's a kit bash from F-toys' F-4J and Doyusha's F-4EJ (mostly) plus decals from Platz's "3rd WG 50th Anniversary". Thank you for looking.

Finally completed this too. Comments and pointers welcome, thank you for looking!
