What about the “best” F/A-18A+ kit in 1/72 scale? Thanks, -Derek

That looks awesome!! -Derek

That would be great to see Jonah! I too have thought about a G model dio at D-M with the radome up, no engines, etc. -Derek

Hi, I’m looking for a set of 1/48 T-28 decals. Just about anything US Navy, US Army, or South Vietnamese AF would work. Hopefully someone out there has some leftover options available from a Microscale, AOA, or Xtradecal sheet. I have many 1/72 and some 1/32 decal sheets to offer in trade or I could buy them. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks in advance, -Derek (in Texas)

You are the man! -Derek

Bless you Kursad! I can’t wait. Let me know if you need to borrow anything - references or the kit. -Derek

Thanks Jonah. I think you should pick one up. I'm curious to find out what the fit is like. Here's some photos of the instructions: There are some very small parts included for the landing gear, some that will be hard to remove from the sprues without breaking them it seems to me. I also think it's a bit interesting that Roden chose to make the fuselage windows clear this time instead of just using decals for them like on their C-124 kit. Maybe the C-124 had too many? At any rate, I am itching to get this kit on the b

Well I'm happy to report that my "Weenie Wagon" arrived safely today from ModelsUA! Only 11 days to get from the Ukraine to Texas, pretty impressive. The box arrived in great condition, wrapped in brown paper on the outside. The box was encased in cardboard, the kit itself was shrink wrapped and as a further precaution, the sprues were bubble wrapped. Very nice. Once all that was removed, the box seems over-sized for what is inside: Surface detail is nicely done. The panel lines do seem a bit overdone for 1/144, b

Engine pods would be cool to use on the Monogram/Revell “D” kit to turn it into an “F”! -Derek

Got a got an email today from ModelsUA saying that my kit has shipped! Hopefully I’ll have it in 2 weeks or so. I’ll be happy to post photos here when I get it unless someone else beats me to it. -Derek

Has anyone received their kit yet? I paid for mine on the 18th so I hope it will be here in a few more days via airmail from Eastern Europe... Here is a sprue shot I found: https://www.facebook.com/groups/greenmats/permalink/2237482082977988/ -Derek

My thoughts exactly. Since the intake is separate, it should lend itself more easily to the HB kit. -Derek

Wow, you’ve built three Monogram B-36s?! My hat is off to you sir! I can’t even seem to finish one 😂 -Derek

What about grafting a portion of a Fujimi A-7 kit intake to replace and improve the squashed look on this kit? I have thought about trying it but I wonder if anyone else has done this before I ruin my TA-7 kit?! -Derek

Makes me want to break out this kit from my stash and get working on it! I even have the Quickboost resin parabrake housing for the tail and that same Xtradecal sheet. How was the fit Collin? That paint scheme is very eye-catching! -Derek

Looking great! -Derek

Well I just ordered one from ModelsUA (thanks Homebe) so hopefully I’ll have it in a few weeks... -Derek

This might be a really great option for C-133 markings if you would be open to it Kursad. A set of MATS/MAC tail bands and some serial numbers. Good idea Dutch! -Derek

Mark, Those B-52Fs are pretty cool looking. I’ll have to buy this one and figure out how to do an F model at some point 😃 -Derek

Hi Chris, Any progress on your build yet? -Derek

Looks like this kit is already for sale on eBay from Eastern Europe! -Derek

That one has already been done on one of the fairly recent (?) Warbird B-47 sheets. -Derek

Thanks for the heads up. Just watched it on demand. Pretty cool 👍🏻 -Derek

As a vendor? It will be great to finally meet you and shake your hand for all the excellent decals you’ve brought us! -Derek

Thanks gents. Dutch - I thought that Carcal's sheet was going to be for short tailed G and H models only. After re-reading that thread I see he's going to have some tall tail BUFF options too. I guess I had forgotten that! Don - I'll shoot you a PM. -Derek
