Thank you, Andres. The color looks great! Red Fox provides a color match for their sets, I just wish the other manufactures would as well. Mike

Hey all! Looking to build an F-14A from either 1977 or 1983 depending on the decals I use. Does anyone know what version of the AIM-9 and AIM-7 were active at those times? Thanks! Mike

Hey everyone! Just started a Tamiya F-35B and am planning to do a VMFA-211 bird from OIR using the flying leathernecks decals. Does anyone know what the internal and external loadouts for these jets were? Thanks for the assist! Mike

Hi everyone! Working through my Hobbyboss A-6E build and I need a little advice. What’s the appropriate way to paint the interior of the exhausts? Black or some kind of burnt metallics? Or something else? I am using the hypersonic exhausts instead of the kit parts. thanks for the help! Mike

Thanks Scoobs, that pretty much tracks with what limited info I found as well.

Hi guys - I’m trying to figure out how to arm my Eduard FM-2 for the North Atlantic ASW mission. I’m having a hard time finding any information about how they were used and armed. Did they just carry external drop tanks or did they carry rockets as well? There seems to be lots of info on the late war wildcats in the pacific. Thanks for the help! Mike

I am learning a bunch as well! Thanks for all the help guys!

Thank you for all the help guys! This is really great stuff. I am going to be doing the ICM kit is 1/48 as soon as the last of the aftermarket arrives. And the Nimrods book will be here in a couple of days. Mike

Hi folks! I have a few questions one the counter invader, mostly centered around weapons carriage. First off, was a standard MER used for carriage of the flares, illustrated on the outer wing station in this picture? The carriage device in the ICM kit looks like it wants to be a MER, but I wasn’t sure if this is a unique A-26 piece of hardware. Secondly, does anyone have info on what bombs were carried internally? Was it just WW2 era bombs or could standard MK82s be carried? I’m sure I’ll have more as I start working on the kit. Thanks for the help! mike

Hello everyone! I found this picture during a routine search on F-4s in Vietnam. I'm just trying to figure out if this is an F-4C or F-4D. Thanks!

Thanks Scout. I’ll be doing a vf-84 aircraft, so timeframe would be pre 1976, if that helps.
