  1. I just got in my email that LoneStar is back to working on the 1/48 XF4U project. It will require the Tamiya 1/48 Birdcage kit but he says his product is basically an entire kit. This is pretty cool. Corsairs are definitely awesome and having a well-done kit of the prototype would be a nice addition to any collection. But it just occurred to me, is there any A-36/NA-73X prototype Mustang kit out there?
  2. Well, I think it's been long enough so I'm going to go stamp my little feet and pout and hold my breath until I turn blue. This is because NOBODY, except one vac-kit maker from 20+ years ago will produce the venerable F-106 in 1/32 scale. I can easily imagine the look of an injection-molded kit and how cool it'd be. It would be roughly the size of Monogram's 1/48 B-58 and weigh about the same. The colors, gray, gray, or gray. But lots of opportunities for colorful schemes. I've been whining about this for over 20 years and likewise for the 1/32 T-38. My stash is in improper status due
  3. There are a few more episodes with the shuttlecraft in it. Metamorphosis, The Immunity Syndrome and to a lesser extent, The Menagerie, for interior shots. Exterior, The Way To Eden, Journey To Babel (not very good, distance shot).
  4. I'm not sure but I think the only airplane that dirt wouldn't ever think of touching is Chuck Norris's.
  5. Pretty much the way I felt about it in Nav School in 1988.
  6. T'is nay a problem m'lad. I too was uber-curious about the contents of this kit. I didn't know it existed until some years ago... At this stage, I have been acquiring the needed stuff for attempting the first castings. This consists of Lego blocks, modeling clay, mold release agent and mold silicone. I went online to see what Hobby Lobby offered in these materials and found a plethora of neat stuff. Alas, my trip to the Rock Hill, SC store yielded not-so-much compared to what they had online. But I got some casting silicone, some modeling clay and some
  7. Like everything I do, there seems to be some "unique" angle to it that intrigues me. However, this doesn't mean that my enthusiasm comes equal to my ability to stick to it. Like others, my enthusiasm wanes after I meet a particular challenge or if I reach a stumbling block that I can't overcome. I have the molding silicone and have ordered Lego bricks for making the pouring blocks. I've copied parts before but really on-the-simple. This is far more involved and I have to figure out how to make this work. There are also other parts that just have to be m
  8. I should have some more up-close photos soon. Fighting a nasty headcold and motivation comes and goes.
  9. You've made a beautiful display piece. A very challenging and rewarding result. I love the look of that old bird. Still a few of them around but you did it justice, to be sure.
  10. Absolutely stunning and masterful work! You should be very proud.
