Captoveur

As someone about to start building ships I was amazed at the lack of options for anything modern.. Aside from a rather complete OH Perry sheet.

I guess those of us who think the Monogram F-106 needs no replacement are a minority. However, I will be waiting to pre-order one of these 2 seaters. If they make a single seater with the gun pack I may consider that.

From the USAF Personnel center: "MAJCOM or Theater Commanders may authorize DFDU to be worn duringcontingencies, exercises, deployments and tactical training requiring desert camouflage as appropriate for climatic conditions" So green is still the primary color of flight suit.

The C is a short nose. Academy has not yet made a long nose. I suspect if and when they do the E/F/G parts will all be in there. I would expect the J/S/N boxings to hit first though.

This may be just me but I am thinking Gunship Gray over ADC gray.

Because this will be a low demand kit (but one I certainly plan on buying) Please, please PLEASE include a boarding ladder.. Just one of those details I like having so I can pose something like this like it's on the ramp ready to go fly. If at all possible.. I can always fake one out of wire but thats a pain.

If you can get it I like Gunze for the tri color scheme.

Seconded.. And don't neglect the Js the RAF took on for a few years.

it means that Japan, Israel, and maybe a couple other nations with the finances would have bought F-22s if we had cleared it for foreign military sales, thus lowering the unit price for everyone. And now the line is shut down.

For the shipboard crash there was one in the Falklands that took a pretty good hit on the deck of a ship.

Someone already makes an excellent S-3 cockpit in 1/72 that actually includes all 4 positons. I have used it and I was impressed

Has Gaston ever actually completed a model? I have a recent pop of the B-29. It has some flash, but otherwise it looks totally buildable. You can either build the Monogram one, or hold your breath for Tamiya to come out with one I guess.

Personally, my most oddball load on a C is 4 Sparrows, a Gun Pod, and 4 AIM-4 Falcons. with outboard tanks. Not something you see often. I lifted the Falcons out of the Encore F-102

Would it be possible to do 3x AGM-65 on one wing and 3x MK-20 on the other with Mk-46s in the bays? I am about to start another S-3 myself and didn't want the Harpoon and torpedo load.

The day Gaston actually finishes a kit is the day his opinion matters.
