Agreed. Would love to see a Michigan and/or Minnesota ANG F-89.

I'm assuming to oils are over acrylics.

Please teach us your weathering technique. A true stunner and not overdone.

I concur and would include the late Balls 8 markings as well in 1/72 please. My apologies if I sound like a broken text.

I concur and would add the Balls 8 late options as well. 😁. My apologies if I sound like a broken record.

Love to see these coming out. Any chance of getting CD72053 A-1E/AD-5 Skyraider reprinted?

With the upcoming 1/72 Tall Tail B-52 sheet has there been any thoughts about artwork for NB-52B "Balls 8"? Cutting Edge did a sheet years ago but nearly impossible to find now. The last releases of Monogram/Revell 's kit the artwork is only for the earlier X-15 flights. Would love to see some mission markings for later flights too.

In regards to where to post, you would probably get the most bang from Airliners. Not sure how many people even know about the C-9 let alone want to tackle that build. However, few airliner modelers probab -

Great build, Fred. I'm with you when it comes to lumpy-bumpy, cargo/commercial aircraft. In a similar vein I have a penchant for commercial planes that I could see at my local regional airport turned into military jets. I have just finished converting the old Aurora DC-9 into a C-9 Nightingale and will soon be turning my sights on my Aurora 737 conversion to a T-43. Your build inspires me. And I'm with Dutch on your museum. Perhaps your wife could start a thread on ARC geared towards helping our wives learn to cope with our hobby and just let us turn a section of the house int
