im interested for sure!

This is simply amazing, you really did an amazing job with the weathering and airbrushing. A real show stopper. Thanks for the WIP. I've got one of these in my "docket" and this really provides some nice inspiration. Best A-10 I've ever seen.

Best paint ever

Use "Great Planes CA Glue Debonder" put a little on a q-tip and you may have to rub/roll it over the CA glue for a while but it will remove the CA glue and won't damage the plastic. Just make sure you don't apply it over paint cause it will remove that too, but it's easy enough to just remark, prime, paint, etc. stuff works like a charm and really comes in handy.

Wondering if anyone has the Fisher 1/32 RF-8A conversion set for sale/trade. As I've been interested in doing a model of one of the RF-8As that took part in the flight over Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Please send PM Dan

I'm looking for a Fisher 1/32 Hawker Sea Fury FB.11, and I'm interested either in purchasing or trade, please send PM

Well the title pretty much explains it, I'm looking for a Fightertown 1/32 F-14D Tomcat set of decals but only the sheet/part with the landing gear, ejection seat, etc stencils, if someone only has a full set with them or just has these as extra that's also good. Please send a PM.

While I've personally never really gotten into 1/72 scale I do say though the mark of a really skilled modeler is to take a 1/72 and make it look like its 1/32 scale. Really, really nice job on that F-14. Nice airbrushing.

Title pretty much sums it up, just found out about this and was wondering if anyone has an Isracast 1/32 F-16F Block 60 conversion for sale and/or trade, please send a PM. Dan

Title pretty much sums it up, I'm looking for the Teknics 1/32 f-14d cockpit set, please send PM.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a 1/32 F-14D project and I'm going to try to do a diorama of the last carrier launch and want to depict it with the left spoilers up [pilot cycling the controls to check free and correct] I have the Danny Coreman book that helps and has some good photos but I've only been able to find a small number of reference photos online and the squadron signal book unfortunately doesn't have photos of these areas. So I was wondering if anyone had some good photos of the areas with the spoiler actuator mechanism/mechanical parts they would be willing to kindly share here?

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if there are any substances/supplies, etc that help oil paints dry faster? I’m almost done with my Tamiya 1/48 A-1J Skyraider and I used oil paints for the cool looking oil streaks on the sides and bottom and I’m anxious to get started on my Tamiya 1/32 F-14D conversion so I was curious if there is anything to help speed up the process? thanks Dan

So I was wondering does the F-4E Phantom II 'Chico the Gunfighter' have the early or late model centerline drop tank? From the reference photos I have its hard to tell, I know the plane was used at the end of the Vietnam War but when it comes to ordnance and equipment it wouldn't be surprising if its the early war version. My OCD/AMS was hoping someone may have the answer or some info to cure this terrible affliction 🙂 Thanks Dan

"The Golden BB!", I saw it looking at me in the mirror clear as day!"

So I'm hoping to do a Tamiya 1/32 F-14D Tomcat conversion of the last F-14D Tomcat catapult shot BuNo 164341. I have been able to find some photos of it so far via google and such but was wondering if anyone has any or knows where to find some that depict some of the upper surface of the fuselage for weathering and such. I found one photo like this but its mostly in shadow/dark lighting and would love to do the last F-14D flown at sea (and I do love USN weathering....) Any help is appreciated. Dan

sounds like a plan! I'll get the payment made once you've got the total with shipping calculated. Thanks again! Dan

Actually if it’s not too late could I also have the 600 gallon fuel tanks too please?

Thanks for letting me know, I think just the conversion set is what I’ll go with. Please let me know the total amount with shipping and I will arrange the payment. thanks so much! Dan

Sounds good to me, do you accept PayPal? My address is as follows: Daniel Sahling 5155 W. Quincy Ave M102 Denver, CO 80236

That's it! Do you have it available? If so, how much would you be willing to sell it for?

Title says it all, after the USPS fracked up the delivery yesterday I’m on the hunt again for an Isracast 1/32 F-16D/I Tamiya conversion, please send PM .

Thanks for the heads up, any good recommendations for brand or where to purchase?

So after spending quite a bit of time fixing a resin part that I wasn't able to place properly before the CA glue dried (I fixed it and got it into position after much swearing and CA debonder) I was wondering if there is an alternative glue/epoxy? for resin items that gives you a little more time than 3 seconds 🙂 or so , any advice is appreciated, thanks. Dan

So I'm researching a couple builds I'd like to do soon, one of which is an F-16CJ from the 77th FS 'Gamblers' based out of Shaw AFB around 2003 during Operation Iraqi Freedom. I've been hunting for reference photos from that time period and it seems that at least some of the F-16s there have a slightly different camouflage that has the darker grey FS 36118 not go as far forward on the front fuselage, and I was wondering if anyone had some good photos of the F-16CJs from that time period I could use, specifically if anyone has photos of serial number 94-0044 I would be most grateful.

If you're going for a mottled effect, filtering, heavily weathered airbrush work, think Su-27s up around the arctic circle, certain types of Luftwaffe WWII camouflage
