Any noticeable exterior differences between the two models?

I always eyeball it but then again I'm one of those people that notices crooked pictures all the time and straightens them. A jig would be awesome but building one for every model would suck!

If you can find the Wolf Pack WP48062 F-14A Tomcat OIF Update Set it has the vents in it.

Sorry man, I could only find the older one without the NACA ducts.

Let me check the stash tomorrow. I think I might have one.

Need the waist gun windows from the 1:48 Revell B-17F kit. Thanks!

I've used spray cans (and bottles for that matter) that were almost 12 years old and had no problems with them. As long as the nozzle works and I can shake the sucker up real good, it works for me.

Thanks!

Nice build! How did you dirty up the wheels/tires and what is your dried mud method?

Convert a Revell 1:48 B-17G into a late model B-17F? If so, any pics or info?

Nice! Makes me want to go get another one and start building. I built my one and only in 1990.

What I do is I take some Tamiya clear green and paint just the edges of the HUD "glass" after dipping in future. It kind has a fiber optic type thing going on where if you look at it from different angles the HUD will be tinted green and some angles it won't. ETA: The effect works better if you use pieces of acetate instead of the thick kit supplied HUD glass.

What riveters are you guys using for 1/48 scale aircraft? I have a CH-53E sitting around that will be my guinea pig. I see some of them actually leave square "rivets" instead of round.

Any new updates? Did you get a replacement daily/weekly door or did you fix the mis-molded one? Great work so far!!!

Anyone know which version of the TOW HMMWV was being used by USMC CAAT platoons during the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan? I'm coming up with three possibilities - M966, M1036, and M1046. I believe the M1046 came about after OIF but might be mistaken. Any help would be appreciated!

I knew I had seen it somewhere! Thanks!!!

I've been using the Patriot for the last few years. I believe it has the medium needle and nozzle on it. Do they make a Fine needle and nozzle for it? This thing does everything great but I just can't seem to get a nice tight, fine line with it.

I've used MEK to make putty with pieces of sprue and I just used what was left in a bottle of Tamiya Thin Cement to make some. It works the same.

I crank up some good rock or metal! It's funny though, I listen to the same thing to put me to sleep....

I don't have the ability to make the decals I want. I do, however, have a link to the picture of the aircraft. Which companies have you used to have decals made? I wan't to build a S-2 from VC-2 to give to my Dad as he was an Air Crewman with this Squadron. To be honest all I need made is the tail code and tail numbers (they are in black) and the squadron and modex numbers (these are white). Any info you guys have would be great! This forum is definitely a wealth of information! Thanks!

The VS-22 decals from Super Scale "pop" pretty good. Super Scale 48-1073

Looking for a good source of online S-2 Tracker photos. Anyone got one?

Insta-Cure Super Gold+ odorless CA. It doesn't fog the clear parts at all.

I'm going to attempt to print my own decals for the first time (notice I said "attempt") and I have a few questions. I'm doing a two 1:72 S-2 trackers. One will be from VS-22 and the markings will all be in black. The other is a VC-2 target tug. It has a black tail code and numbers but the rest of the markings are white. Now, my questions are: 1) What font is used to replicate naval aircraft markings? Is it Long Beach? 2) What programs are there that will have this font? 3) How do I go about printing the white decals I need? I'm pretty sure the inkjet won't print white so am I **** out of l

Thank you Dave! I will look into it.
