That was awesome! Thanks for sharing. Denis

Awesome! Can't wait to get them in 1/48 scale. ;) Denis

Hi Aigore, I have been lurking your build log since the beginning, sorry I have not commented sooner but I wanted to commend you on such a great build. Not until I saw your step by step explanation to build the dreaded Hasegawa Tomcat have I felt confident enough to try to build one myself. Plus, on top of that you have inspired me to build an Ali Cat! Something I have never considered. Cheers, Denis

Who's all in for another F-4 Phantom Group Build?
EX_Birdgunner replied to bashace's topic in General Discussion
LOL! I would have but I only received the Hasegawa 1/72 F-4B/J/N kit at the end of the GB. I was happy to win a couple of sheets with my F-18 anyway. One of which was the Grey Ghosts sheet that I might use here if I can get my hands on a 1/48 F-4B. Hopefully the new Academy offering will be out in time. Denis -

I'm in with a VF-84 Jolly Rogers Phantom. Denis -
Looking good. One day I will be brave enough to tackle the Hasegawa cat. Denis

Wow! Looks great. Well done!

Nope not glued together yet. Thanks for the info, I didn't notice this in my refs. How much lower exactly? Denis Edit: Hmmmm, I am not 100% convinced about the placement of the B/N seat. I just looked through the Squadron Walk Around book and there is a shot of the cockpit looking to the rear and the seats look to be the same height to me. Since this is a practice build to try new things before I do the other three A-6s in the stash I will leave the seats as they are and continue.

I'm not an expert but the movie "The Final Countdown" was filmed in that timeframe and clearly showed the glove vanes being used. Being a Jolly Rogers fan I have watched it several times. Denis

Forgot to add a pic of the decals. They were a prize from the Ghost Town GB. Cheers, Denis

Started this today. I will be building it as the last Intruder flown by the Marines which was with VMA(AW)-332. I got the A-6E along with three A-6As from the buy and sell forum. While the A-6E did not come with any bombs, the -As had enough extra to outfit the -E with a full loadout. The cockpit leaves much to be desired so I had the idea to spice it up with some seats from the spares box that I had left from a 1/72 Hase F-14A Tomcat. Since the kit parts were molded with the cockpit tub I cut them off and used plastic card to cover the empty spaces. The cockpit dry fitted into

LF: Voodoo Wheels, 1.48
EX_Birdgunner replied to bikerider's topic in Buy and sell - add scale to your title
Just checked and sure enough I have a set of main wheels left over from a Revell Voodoo. They're yours if you want them. Just pm me with your mailing address and I can send them out to you this week. Denis -

I did a wheels up Voodoo a while ago. Let me check my spares box tonight to see if I have the wheels still. Denis -
Nice!! The CF-100 is one of the earliest models I can remember building. Look forward to watching this one be built. Denis

Recieved my Hi-Decal Line decals today. Chose the 72-029 A-6E Intruder sheet as I have a Hasegawa A-6E in the stash. Can't wait to get started on the Marines option. Denis
-
Woo-Hoo! Decals from Impact Hobby arrived today. Now I need start stocking up on some Phantoms! Denis Edit: Diego at Hi-Decal Line just got in touch with me. Some 1/72 A-6E decals are headed my way.

Rare footage ( I think ) of Aceval/Aimval tomcats

Nice! Thanks for sharing. -
A late Grizzly is coming out? Awesome! I can finally make a replica of the one I used to command in Valcartier. Denis

I see another big scale CF-18 in my future
EX_Birdgunner replied to Charlie Cheetah's topic in Jet Modeling
I hope by calling an "A+" we can build an R2 CF-18AM jet with all of the updated components like IFF antenna, etc. If so I will be getting one of these along with David's FIP decals when I get back from overseas in the new year. Even better would be to do a CF-18BM. Denis -
Looking good. I'll be watching this one as I have plans to do either a 1/48 or 1/72 Prowler. Maybe this build log will help me decide which scale to do. Don't know if it helps for the A-6E but Impact Decals will soon be releasing a sheet for VMF(AW)-332 Moonlighters Intruders. Denis

Nice! Denis

Bigasshammm, I am already in contact with Kevin from Impact. I used their yahoo email address on their website. I chose the Grey Ghosts Part 1 sheet. Now I need to get some Phamtoms. Denis

Whoo-hoo! Super happy of the results, congrats everyone on thier winnings and such great builds. This was truley a fun and enjoyable group build. Shawn, I'm glad to see you were able to include yourself in the winnings. You did a such great job organizing this GB, with so many sponsors and prizes you definately deserved to get prizes yourself. A quick question for getting in contact with Hi Decals. Do I contact the local distributor or email the contact in Poland at the bottom of the list? Cheers, Denis
