It's surely not dirt, from what i see its spaced evenly and build up in a distinct structure. My best guess would have to be some kind of vortex generators.

Old computers and related cables male great places to get small wire from. CAT-5 network cables also yield a fair amount of wire per foot. Try Hobby Lobby and/or Micheal's Art stores also , look in the beading or jewelry sections for small spools of wire.

My 89 Suburban 4x4 with lift kit and mud tires is big , loud , and when you open the doors , its like looking into a C-5.

one in progress...as what I have know clue might turn out to be certain phantoms modern day alter ego.

As someone who builds for fun and relaxation, all my builds could be considered WIFFs, as in WHAT IF I could actually build an accurate model. I like to know details and such just because I'm interested in that kind of stuff and sometimes I put what I have learned to use.If I take the time to ask the question whether for a WIFF or reality, I would hope that the information gleened from said question wasnt a waste of time but more a teaching opportunity.

Here in Northern Kentucky the damage from the storms is to say the least ,extensive. It was a rough few hours during the storms. All's well here with just some minor wind damage,tree limbs and such,but not far from here several communities were hit hard.The towns of Piner Ky ,Crittenden Ky ,Moscow OH are all within 20 miles of my house. My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected by the storms.

PM sent phantom

this is clyde the 2 year old terror, at his usual spot. hasnt knocked off anything yet so isnt banned from the bench.

simple answer is yes.

Going commando solves the drip scenario, and as an added benefit .......the money saved each year on underwear goes to buying a new kit

the -5 and -7 differ in the shape of the wingtip pods. the HAS and RoG kits are the same plastic so the biggest challenge would be the wingtip pods.

with all of the time needed for organizing , when do you find time to model ?

Price fixing could be a savior or killer for the hobby. As has been stated when a shop can't turnover product they go bust or change their lines. I for one had a LHS here that I shopped frequently because they carried a wide variety of plastic kits, then one day they went all RC to try and stay in business, now they are gone. Should I have "adapted" or "migrated" to RC to support them? My hobby is modeling, I migrated to the next business that sold what I wanted, and LHS are getting few and far in between. If price fixing meant we would be able to keep more LHS open and move more product at lo

what happened to the bicentennial chicken ? my father was maintenance chief in vx-4 at pt. mugu during the mid seventies so I got to see this bird and vandy 1 all the time when I was a kid.

nice build Ken. Just one question ...are you combining the Revell and Italeri kits? It seems in the photos the plastic is two different colors? Just wondering .......... also states you are using revells f-18e and the pics show legacy intakes ? Not trying to nit pick ......just interested in the build as I have both kits in the stash. Oops just noticed it was a reference pic to dropping the flaps :S

I've just about completed the wing/engine assemblies and have them just about ready for paint. Fuselage glass is installed and masked although I still need to complete interior before I am ready to button up the halves. I have decided I'd like the plane to be white over sea blue (to much grey on the shelves) so if anyone has the decals for the navy version (white lettering) that they would be willing to donate, I would be grateful. sorry no pics at the moment.

I didn't know I was making $229,000 a year Kind of scary but nothing you wouldn't already know about someone. On the good side ........they still don't know where I hide my playboys :D

Beautiful kittens you have there !!!!!!!!

As far as I know, this is the only plastic P2. Whether it be Hasegawa or Revell its the same molds. Overall it is building up pretty easily. Lacks details in the usual places for a 1:72 scale kit ( gear wells and cockpit most notably).it does have very nicely molded engines although once the cowls are on you cant see them at all. I'll be most likely painting light gull grey and white and using the kit decals if they hold up (as you can see by the above pic they arent in the best shape).

some progress

Great looking kitten !!!!!! post pics when you have the ordinance on it .
