There is also ScaleFinishes that produce enamels. I suggest if you order get a jar of the hardner to help out the drying.

Happy New Year to you Steve. Hope you had a great start!

On my next one I will try it your way! Thanks!

Marvin Looking good! Question's for you. Did you have any issues with the fit in front of the cockpit? I have a partially built E and the area in front of the cockpit that attaches to the nose piece I ended up with a slight step there. Second question did you glue the cockpit tub to upper half instead of attaching it to the nose gear tub like instructions show?

Drifterdon No particular unit. Would prefer the gray birds. Never liked the euro camo schemes but if it came down to it Id look the euro.

By chance does anyone have some 1/48 A-10A decals available? Have a partially built Tamiya kit and the decals are shot beyond use!

So this GB goes till the end of March 2023? If that's the case then I might have to jump in this one! You all are making this hard on me not to join. I haven't completed a model in quite some time. I've started several but never finish!

Thanks for the input on the newer MENG boxing. I guess I will have to plan on getting additional stencil decal sheets from Furball. Dave I know what you are saying is factual due to having a conversation with someone who uses Microscale. I value your input on this! Thanks again guys!

For those of you that have the later boxing of their SH kits VFA-2. Did MENG fix the decal sheets when it comes to the stencils? I have a couple of the first run kits and the kit decal stencils are just gray boxes and squiggly lines. Such a nice kit to have a half *** decal sheet. I know there are aftermarket decals that can be used to correct this and I have a few of them. I am just curious if the fixed this issue.

Joe Ill send you a dm. If Icome up to Corpus Ill give you a yell. Maybe we can meet up?

Joe Welcome to the madness! What part of the Coastal Bend you in? I'm in the RGV.

I have always gone by the golden rule. Anything over lacquer and lacquer over nothing. I know there have been people that say they do it with no issues. But I am not willing to take a chance. You can experiment on a paint mule.

By chance does anyone have a set for sale?

Thats Good! I hope CAM Pro has good customer service! Ordered some 1/48 Hornet decals. Got F-4G and A-4F decals instead. Now that project is off till I get the right ones. I have kits and decals for the GB but this was my 2nd build after the A-7 to see if I can keep going

Geoff Thanks for the heads up and link. I need to see if I can finish this HB A-7A kit. I am a disabled vet with severe insomnia. Have not been able to concentrate on a build fora long time. But the past few days has given me a boost. The stuff they gave me for sleep has helped my concentration for building. I hope to have this thing in paint this weekend. Ill wait and see on joining in. Has anyone tried to email Steve?

Is there a main GB thread? Can not seem to find it. I see some post with the 2022 Hornet Group Build in the heading.

CARACAL Is there a chance this sheet gets another run? Been looking for this one for a while now with no luck!

I wonder why my end doesnt show that one? Is that the last one that was done?

I have not been on here for a while! Going to try and stay on this time. Did a little browsing on here. Are there any group builds going? For some reason on my end the last post in the group build area was 2010.

Question: Whats the best way to make FOD/Exhaust covers? What material are you all using? Pics would be nice of possible. Working on a Meng F/A-18E kit. Not having any luck getting the intakes to look good enough for me.

Not to hijack ESzczesniak's thread but I have a question. I have the Tamiya B kit but I also have the Academy kit and that's where my question comes from. The original Academy B kit as built by instructions a late B correct? Which has the slotted stabs ( Fencing facing wrong way from what I have read ). SO if my understanding of this is correct and for those of you that know please correct or help me with this? The Academy kit can be built as an N correct? Other than the intake antennas and the slotted stabs. WHat other part numbers are needed to convert it to an N bird? I have plans to build

Collin Are those parts in all the Academy F-4B kits? I have the first kit Academy released. Was about to cut a deal with a local builder. If it has the N parts then I need to hold on to it for a while longer.

Yea I wont make that meeting. Im in South Texas

What raffle and meeting? I knew nothing of this.

Ordered mine from Sprue Brothers. Should be here next Wednesday if USPS doesn't screw it up! Update: Went a head and ordered #2 from Tower. Gotta have sisters
