  1. Wow! Excellent progress. Almost to the homestretch now.
  2. Kind of like the F-16XL, maybe? Except the F-15EX hasn't grown dimensionally, like the F-16XL or F/A-18E/F. And what will the next model be designated? F-15EXX? or possibly F-15F? followed by the dedicated Wild Weasel variant F-15G?
  3. Habu, you may be onto something there. Twin engined, side-by-side cockpit seating, and there the similarities end. Perhaps, "Lightning Bug" would be better?
  4. EA= Electronic Attack. COMPASS CALL mission is to jam enemy's electromagnetic spectrum, previously done by EC-130E/H/J. Similarly, we have EF-111As which jammed, but did not fire ordnance, AFAIK. EA-6A & Bs did have capability to jam and fire ordnance, as does the EA-18G (so much for the fighter mission). Normally, I would expect the EA-37B to fire ordnance, which I highly doubt, just electrons. So why can't we just call it an EC-37B? Is there a radar/AWACS version already called the EC-37? Maybe IDF and USN fly it? I think USAF is opting for E-7A Wedgetail, so no worries there. I'm
  5. Sebastijan, beautiful T-bolt. Very nice painting with just the right amount of fade and weathering. Very nice invasion stripes. I will say that it looks very accurate. Kind regards, Dutch
  6. The USAF have just received its first new EA-37B COMPASS CALL aircraft. Wikipedia says it was formerly known as the EC-37B based on the civilian Gulfstream V / military C-37 airframe. I remember the old Cessna A-37 Dragonfly. It makes it a little confusing for me. Maybe the current USAF has already forgotten the A-37, so doesn't matter.
  7. I found an AMARC photo of 56-3626 with NYYY configuration. So I am only down to one left: 60-0316.
  8. Wow! A real stunner! How difficult was it to perfectly mask the white / gray transition and apply the black cheatline decal?
  9. Thanks, Charlie, but I already have a couple sets of each of the E-Z masks. The B-58 also included the B-47. The B-36 set included the GRF-84K mask also. I was specifically hoping to find B-24J masks.
  10. I am pretty sure that Hasegawa included (2) TDU-10B in their 1:48 scale Weapon Set A. I have never seen an AM Delmar target in any scale.
