Hello all,
After a year plus away from the hobby & the site, I'm back & thinning the herd a bit. Nearly all would be considered as trade-able, and I will entertain (reasonable) offers, so let me know what you're interested in.
Due to shipping costs, I'm only selling/shipping to the U.S. & Canada
Thanks,
Jay

Well, after some mixed results last time around, I've put together a new list of kits to trade with anyone that's willing (US & Canada Only, Sorry). I don't have anything specific that I'm after, but I do enjoy B-52 stuff, trying to complete my collection of US Jet Bombers (Still need a B-57, 58, and B-2). All I ask is that if you're gonna offer a trade, make sure it makes sense...I have a pretty good idea of what things cost, and I know everybody's looking for a deal, but let's try to be realistic, ok? Ok. Here we go!
Ah, yeah...I can be reached more easily at B52HVet(AT)Gmaildotcom (replace "at" with @ and "dot" with . )
All kits are new, complete, and un-started, except where noted & many boxes still sealed.

Hello again all,
After watching a few episodes of "Area 88" this morning, I've decided to try and track down either the decal set that Hasegawa printed, or any of the various make kits that had markings from the series. So, if you've got anything I might be interested in, let me know! I have a decent stock to trade from, or would consider buying outright.
Updated: I'm also trying to find TwoBobs set #48-050 QF-4G Team Target Drones, if anyone has one, I'd either purchase or trade for it.
Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, there's an IPMS sponsored type convention in Plymouth, Minnesota on Saturday. I'll have to dig up my sheet with the exact details, but thought I'd see if there was anyone else thinking of attending, always nice to put a face to a name online, as well as meet some new people who enjoy the hobby. Anyhow, if anyone's looking for info on it, PM me and I'll try to get ya the details.

Just last week I finally picked up the 48th scale Testors kit...while the decals included are well done, a new set would be nice. I've been considering building a "B model" for a little variation, not sure if the trainers are on the board for this upcoming set, but if so, I'll definitely pick one up!
-
The Cutting Edge sheets are getting more & more rare, and the few I've seen online recently have ranged into the ridiculous for price. I'll go through some of my references and see if I can dig up some nose art pics for you.

Hello again folks,
After quite a bit of time away from all things good and plastic, I've finally managed to get back in to putting a few kits together, and posting here again. Much to my surprise, last month I was invited by the good people at Exide Battery to fly from Minnesota (home sweet home right now) down to Bristol Motor Speedway for the NASCAR Nationwide & Sprint Cup Series races...It's a nice gesture on their part, I donated my lumbar vertebrae to the Air Force, they donated a trip, hotel, and race tickets to me
Anyhow, I went a little trigger happy with the camera, and because of the amazing people & access to the track, got to meet several drivers and get some once in a lifetime pictures from practice, qualifying, and the race.
So, all you race fans out there, PM me if you want a high res copy of anything I took, or about racing, kits, the BUFF or whatnot.

All of the downloads are here: http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/1489594...ing.html?rnd=58
They work best using the Safari browser. Ignore previews and just go to download.

Mike,
Not sure if it's my choice(s) of browser or what (I tried Firefox & Chrome) and was told on every download link I clicked that the "File link you requested was not valid". Anyhow, the printable/downloadable tarmac, carrier deck, and helo pads would be a huge help...any way you could email/post a workaround for the broken links?
Thanks!

I know White Ensign makes some really nice stuff, but I'm not real picky on brand for this project. Ideally, the more detailed the better, but since I rarely build ships (and 700th scale even less often) I wouldn't really need an entire set of helos, etc... Ideally just ones or twos for the items listed, just to fill out the helo & well deck for my neighbor.
Thanks,
Jay

Hello all,
I'm currently building a 1/700th scale USS Pensacola (Landing Ship-Dock, Anchorage class) for a neighbor & friend who served on board during Vietnam. I've been looking online for a while now, and have yet to find any usable or remotely accurate pics or description of the "Well Deck".
I'm building JAG Models' resin USS Anchorage class kit, and it is VERY nice, I'd just really like to make sure that I get this one right (as best I can...ships aren't normally my "thing"). So, if anyone has suggestions, hints, tips, pics, or anything that might be relevant to my build, please PM me. I've also put a post in the "Spares Box" looking for anything that might add to the overall build (700th Vietnam era helos, trucks, etc). As always, your help will be greatly appreciated!

Hello all,
I'm currently working on the JAG Models kit of the LSD-38 (USS Pensacola, Anchorage class) for my neighbor who served on board during Vietnam. I'm hoping that somebody out there has a few spares they might part with. Here's what I'm looking for, not really concerned about make, etc...just need a few things to dress up the well deck & helo pad.
CH-46
UH-1
UH-34
Sikorsky S-55/58
Cargo trucks (Deuce & a half, etc)
"Whale boats" or landing vehicles
or anything else that might "fit" for an early Vietnam era Landing Ship.
I've got a TON of 72nd & 48th FA-18 Decals I can trade, or let me know what you'd want for your spares!
-
I've looked in the "Usual" places, and the only kit I've seen so far has been made by JAG...looked like a decent kit, but I am a little hesitant to encourage my friend to drop $70 on a company I've never had firsthand experience with. Thanks for the pic!

Hello folks,
I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of a styrene or resin (Other than the JAG Models) kit of the LSD Anchorage class ships used in Vietnam. Any scale, not really picky, a friend of mine that served on the USS Pensacola (LSD-38) is looking for a kit, and I offered to build him one if he decided to buy it. As usual, many thanks for info!

i would like to help you any way i can do you know any thing about the f-14b your building like what squadron or what time frame or what decals your using?
Catfan,
I'm planning to do an F-18E in VF-143 "Pukin Dogs" markings, and I found this decal set for 2004-05 F-14B's from 143, thought it would be cool to have them side by side.

And since I've now got 3 of the Revellogram F-14 kits, (2x D model, 1x A model) I've been thinking about doing a VX-9 jet as well (Visited Point Mugu as a kid) with these sheets:

Any info you could pass on would be greatly appreciated

Brian Marbrey's excellent Tutorial on Tomcats will be helpful ...
Here's some items from Steel Beach to help get the conversion going ...

Tyvm Gregg, will check those out.

Hello all,
I've recently come into a couple of the old(er) Revellogram 1/48th F-14 kits. Now, I'm not even close to an expert on the Tomcat, so I've got a couple basic questions that somebody may be able to help me with.
I assume there HAVE to be differences between the A and D model kits (Haven't unbagged them to look, or count parts) Anyone know what they are?
I've got my eye on a set of decals, but they are for an F-14B. What mods would be needed to accurately represent that aircraft? Would I need to start with the "A" or the "D"?
Any major issues with this kit that I need to know before I jump in?
Can anybody suggest the best/most cost effective way of dressing up the cockpit?
Thanks for the help!

I have the Cutting Edge sets for the factory conversion and the modern ECM upgrade. Also have the CE decal sheet with Memphis Belle IV on it, a couple of resin HVAR bomb racks (assembled and primed), a bunch of Hasegawa JDAMs, a couple sets of ALCMs from a Monogram B-1B kit, the Aerofax, Walk Around and DACO books on the BUFF, and a couple of resin pilots.
I'm never going to get to this and would prefer a trade for a Trumpeter 1/32 F-14A and F/A-18E. I know these kits are pricey but from what I've seen on Ebay, I think it's a pretty good deal.
Reply if interested.

I'm interested in the Tamiya F-16 C/N Aggressor aircraft.
Here is my trade list. Let me know if anything interests you. Thanks for your time.
Minuteman,
I'm getting some input/advice from a friend that has more experience building armor kits than I do. Will PM you once I hear back.
Thanks,

MiniHobby 1/48 Su-30 "Russian Test Pilots"
in Jet Modeling
Posted
After a long absence from the boards here, I'm back with a question. Has anybody built the MiniHobby 1/48 Su-30 "Russian Test Pilots" kit? I've just traded for one, and am wondering what I've gotten myself into...no reviews on the normal sites, and the only thing close I've seen are reviews of the Su-30MKM. Any input would be appreciated.
