I haven’t. I have the modern super hornet guide that I bought years ago. Not much luck finding copies of the other for sale.

Hey there I’m looking for photos of 2 specific areas that I’ve had a hard time finding elsewhere. 1. The cowling over the UFC. Primarily the front section in front of the hud glass. 2. The bay directly behind the pilot where the canopy connects. Looks like there is some netting covering the bay but the photos are hard to come by. Sorry I’m not sure what that part is called or what is housed there. The f-18 research section photos are spotty with old photo bucket uploads. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey there specifically looking for the tamiya f-16 pilot and or the Academy f-15msip pilot. Both jhmcs and non-jhmcs needed. thanks!

Bought a Kinetic c-188 at a reasonable price. Song shipped super quick and the kit arrived in great shape. Highly recommend to work with!

Thanks Geoff. Appreciate being directed to right location. 🙂 Also no politics- got it. Git enough of that crap in my daily life. thanks is again!

found what I was looking for. Thank you flanker27 and eraucubsfan!

Well I appreciate the honesty, and that’s a bummer to hear. Can’t have nice things anymore I guess. I appreciate all the work the mods are doing to keep the lights on. 🙂

Hey there! It’s been about 14 years since I’ve been on here and built any new projects. Finally coming back around to the hobby. looks like something’s have changed and some haven’t. Anyone want to help me get a lay of the land? Is general discussion still where we post for questions and barter and trade of kits and supplies? thanks!!

Really nice work man!!! I especially love the paint work. It makes the scale disappear!

Thanks Joel! I usually neglect this area too. Like I've mentioned before, it's in those areas I wanted to put more effort. So far so good, i think. Looking back I already have ideas on how to make it better hah never satisfied.

thanks again to everyone for the really nice words of encouragement. here's another small update on the canopy originally i hadn't planned to do this, but one interesting thing that happens when taking way to long to finish a build is one gets better at their craft during the process. So i decided to go back and spruce up the under side of the canopy. on the original kit piece, the locking mechanism that holds the support strut is virtually no existent. i removed the molded details and built the mechanism from scratch. i rebuilt the latching section on the support strut to accommodate the new

Haha thanks?! I assure you I am definitely human.

thanks a lot guys!

thanks again joel ! i can assure you, i don't have eagle eyes ( nice pun , by the way). it was many hours of HEAVY squinting. haha.

here we go again , more stuff! I have only 3 small things left to do and i'm DONE! the problem is finding time to do it. ha! okay so, in one of my ref-pics the pilot's helmet is sitting on the framing of the front wind screen. from this photo and several others of the jet during deployment i noticed that the pilot is not wearing the jhmcs helmet. instead its the typical flight helmet with the night vision goggles attachment (goggles were not attached in these photos). whether or not the goggles were used, i have no idea. So i figured i would take some artistic license here and scratch build
