  1. Of note, 71-0290 began life as a FSD airframe. As a result it has a lot of minor differences when compared to a production aircraft even beyond the canards and alternate nozzles. The canards are a modified F/A-18 stabs, the rear corner of the base trimmed off and the forward portion extended. I actually drew up a set of 1/72 line drawings for the STOL/MTD variant in prep for my planned conversion. Arnaud, PM sent, Hoops
  2. Looking forward to it Kursad, Will you be downscaling station 1 and 9 as well? Thanks! Hoops
  3. The last Wolpak Decals sheet does carry the markings for the test F-15SA, I did the artwork for that one. Kursad has said that he'll scale down the "F-15s the Next Generation" to 1/72 which will provide some of the options. It's just a question of when, and which options are included. Looking forward to a downscale of your products! Hoops
  4. Most of the stuff that you're listing could be used for most of the kits mentioned without much adaptation. The only thing that may be an issue would be the MAWS tail booms. That being said, I'm still partial to the Hasegawa kits. I'm in for a F-15SA and SG at least. Cheers! Hoops
  5. As the title says, I'd like to buy the 1/72 portion from the aforementioned A-10 sheet. - 1/72 scale portion from Twobobs 48-274 Brrt to the future with the Cool Snow Hog Markings Let me know if you are a 1/48 scale builder and have it excess. Thanks for looking! Hoops
  6. Good afternoon, I'm looking for the following things in 1/72 scale for some builds: - LAU-51 Rocket pds from the 1/72 Meng G.91 kit (I think the only LAU-51s ever done in 1/72 scale) typhoon1 is already sending me a pair of these, but anybody else has an extra set I'd love to do the dual mount that the Luftwaffe used on their Alpha Jet As. - Resin overwing ballasts from the 1/72 Hasegawa F-104G CCV limited edition boxing (At this point I've kitbashed and scratch built everything else, but the shape of the overwing ballasts are much more complicated, and I'd like to
  7. WARDOG, I sent you an email about the Wolfpak decals, Cheers, Hoops
  8. I don't have a great image of the ACTIVE badge, but I just sent you an email with some other refs. Cheers, Hoops
  9. I had to wait to get home from travel to have access to my notes/reference photos. You've got an RC-135V on the recon sheet in form of 64-4841, please also include the extra single static port that is just forward of the right rear cabin door on the "V" versions. Cheers and thanks! Hoops
  10. Will the recon variant sheet have the crew access door outline with the right angle on the upper right position? Necessary for the modern versions with the E-systems cheeks. Cheers, Hoops
  11. Finally! I've got an RC-135U and a RC-135V planned, and I've been waiting years for modern markings. Cheers and thanks Kursad. Hoops
  12. Hi Glynn, Looking at the sheet on the fantasy printshop site, I'm pretty sure that they do not. The samurai may have been dropped from more recent iterations of the Kadena markings, Hoops
  13. The RF-4EJ has a HF radio antenna built into the leading edge of the vert stab. On the recently released kit this is represented by a thin black line decal. I would guess that's the difference you are referring to? Cheers, Hoops
  14. I can confirm, due to the base Public Health Orders, base access is limited to DoD ID card holders or any guests those ID card holders escort. If you can't access the base, then you can't get to the museum currently. As a result, the museum is pretty empty. Cheers, Hoops
  15. I used a set on a Hasegawa Hornet build way back when they were current. After they were no longer available, the compromise solution that I came up with was to fill the intake lip piece with Milliput. I just pressed it in so that it was roughly even and flat on the upper and lower surfaces, and left it at that. They real world cloth covers are going to be a bit uneven, so I wasn't worried about it being super smooth. I would then paint them separately, and install the piece once the aircraft painting was complete. Cheers, Hoops
  16. Of note, the outer pylons on the F-15SA/QA/EX are differently shaped that the ones tested on early F-15s. The old style had a vertical trailing edge on the pylon, while the new style slopes back at a relatively shallow angle. Cheers, Hoops
  17. I think the size of the pilots windows is deceptive on the P-1. Without context the aircraft looks small because of the ratio of the window size to aircraft size. When side by side with other aircraft, you quickly realize that they are big! Big windows make for a good visual surface search though, an advantage on a maritime patrol aircraft. Hoops
  18. Good afternoon, These were on super sale a long time ago from the US importer, so I figure that there is a good chance that somebody has the kit in their stash, but is not planning to build the CCV version. Does anybody have just the resin parts that they could sell me? Much easier than building the parts from scratch. Cheers and thanks for looking! Hoops
  19. Two radalt antennas are on the lower gun cover surface. The nose cone doesn't have the lightning strips, but the wings and tails have all of the EJ Kai type antennas. Fine Molds would either have to include both the the EJ and EJ Kai sprues, have the modeller sand off the lightning strips, or include another nose cone. Seems like they picked adding another nose cone to the RF-4EJ sprue. There is another panel on the starboard side of the nose that is specific to the RF-4EJ but that is further back and won't be captured by the new radome. Cheers, Hoops
  20. I think that option B is correct based on this photo: Photo on Flickr: Another one Cheers, Hoops
  21. Thanks ST0RM Both companies offer the 8222 Jamming pod, which is a similar size but much different shape than the 8212, however. I don't think that there is anybody that offers the 8212 in scale.
