  1. Love the "Dirty bird" look, just like your typical Navy plane after a 6 Month cruise! Hoping to get the look you've achieved on yours! Very very well done! I wouldn't change a thing! :)
  2. WOW!!! Great detail on your Tomcat , John! That's what I call patience!
  3. That is SAWWWWWWEEEEET!!! You really got skills! What sort of glue do you use for building your equipment? everything looks perfect and clean! Well done! I'll be following this one for sure!
  4. Awesome work so far!!! How did you do the wash on the landing gears? Is it hard to do? Love the detail in your work!
  5. Holy @#!! That is some amazing work! I like seeing models that depict an aircraft with major corrosion control work done to it! Looking at the tires/hubs, the touch up painted areas around panels and hinges, you have absolutely brought this aircraft to LIFE!!! Well done! I think you have inspired many (including myself)

  7. Hi all, Looking to buy 1:48 Paragon wingfold set for the A-6 Intruder. Anyone know of a website or of anyone looking to sell? Thanks, Jason

  12. Mostly anything Alice In Chains, Megadeth, Pantera, or Van Halen. Today it's Rush "Moving Pictures"
  13. That's a beautiful tribute to the Columbia!!! This work is definitely museum worthy. Words cannot express the beauty of your work! Absolutely STUNNING!!!
  14. To be honest with you, I think the only difference between the old kit and the reissue, are the decals.
  15. Thanks for the info guys! Extremely helpful. I've heard that more and more people are switching to acrylics because they are easier clean up and not as volatile as enamels. The project i'm working on now will be painted with enamels. I may try my next project in acrylics. Thanks again guys!!
  16. Holy Crap!!! That is awesome! Gives you the feel of another start of flight ops on a carrier! Awesome work!!!
  17. My favorite bird in the world! You did a beautiful job on her! I'm hoping my paint job turns out like that. You gave her a nice weathered look.
  18. I was in VA-115 from 93-95. I remember as a plane captain working at the hot pits in Iwo Jima, the pilots were instructed to shut down the starboard engine before entering the pits evidently to prevent a repeat of Cubi. My concern however, was when the engine is shut down, a small amount of fuel dumps out of the engine compartment, and while shutting down while taxiing on a breezy day, I was afraid of fuel splashing on a potentially hot brake causing a brake fire. Fortunatelly that never happened.
  19. Picked up the Revell kit last weekend for 31.00. They come with VA-35 and VA-85 hi-vis markings. I won't be using them, so if anyone is interested in the decals... I'm on the hunt for VA-115 Eagle decals.
  20. Thanks for the info Hawkeye! I'm from Sheboygan and will have to bring my son up to Oshkosh that weekend!
  21. Hey all! After a 15 year hiatus, I'm getting the itch to model again. Remembering the nightmares I had dealing with "fish-eyes" and other sorts of paint separation, I would like to know what sort of prep work I need to do to the plastic before I actually paint in enamel or acrylic, such as washing the plastic and priming, etc. BTW, would it be better to paint in enamel or acrylic (airbrushing)? I am awed by the work I've seen in the galleries here, and hope I can someday achieve those levels of perfection!!! B)
  22. Got a couple of Intruder pics to post as soon as I can get my scanner figured out!
  23. Hi all, I've been searching all over the 'net for VA-115 decals in 1:48 scale. Came upon "colorful Intruders" with VA-115 and VA-196 decals, but apparently they are discontinued. Anyone know of any decal manufacturer that makes this squadron? CAG aircraft or lo-vis is OK.
