  1. I am in on this one. I have several I can choose from to build. Colin I sent you a pm, had a question for you.
  2. Ok, who wants to take point on this so we can see if there is enough interest? Like I said earlier I will try and participate in it. I just ordered an Hasegawa 1/48 F/A-18D kit to go with my two C kits I already have.
  3. Ace Yes you can paint inside, but like Adam said you need to use a paint booth and vent it outside or build a filter bucket for it. I took a 5 gallon bucket cut a 4 inch diameter hole in the lid and placed a 4 inch PVC pipe threw the hole. You will want to drill holes in the last 2 inchs of pipe. Fill the bottom of the bucket with water to catch overspray and fumes. I also took and placed an A/C filter in the top of the bucket and drilled some holes in the lid. It has worked great so far for me!
  4. To my brothers and sisters that have served in the military and to those who payed the ultimate sacrafice. Not just in the US military but all militarys. Thank You for your service!!!!!!!
  5. The people in the Philippines are worthy of our assistance! If it had not been for them WW2 would have gone on longer and maybe the wrong way. I spent a few days there while in the Navy and I know they are worthy people. Hope they stay strong and safe!
  6. Guys/Gals This has probably been asked before and I couldn't find the answer I am looking for. So here we go, how long does it take to dry wo you can sand and scribe? I never have used this successfully. I have squadron green, restore grey and milput fine. I'm getting ready to start a 1/72 F/A-18A/C from Hasegawa. I Rene er there are gaps that needs to be filled from their 1st run A's. Thanks for the help!!!!
  7. Ok so whos going to start the poll for this and whos wanting to run it?
  8. I have a few I could work on as well, if things dont go haywire like it did for the bent wing build!
  9. I would try and join in a Hornet GB. I can't make a promise to join in as work and other stuff get in the way of my leisure time. I was just looking to see if a Hornet GB had ever been done to look at the finshed builds. I was an AO with VFA-151 back in 89/90 and the Hornet is my bird of choice due to this. If there has not been a Hornet GB ever lets get someone to head this thing up!
  10. Guys/Gals Has there ever been a all hornet only group build? I searched for awhile and found nothing. If there has not been one what about us getting one going? Any help would be apreciated!
  11. That is sweet looking!!! What scale is it?
  12. If anyone needs or wants them they are yours! I have no need in them and cant see tossing them in the trash. Send me a pm and I will get them to you.
  13. Scotthldr Thanks for the info! I forgot I had a weapons set c in my closet. Now just need to find them in 1/72 scale.
  14. Does anyone know where I can find the following missle launchers/adapters in 1/72 and 1/48 scale? I could use a few of each. I dont want to have to buy a complete model aircraft kit just to get them. Any help would be apreciated. LAU-115 LAU-117 LAU-118 LAU-127 ADU-299
  15. Sad news indeed! He was a great modeler and photographer. He will be missed by us all! I feel we should start the new year with a group build dedicated in his name. What do you all think?
  16. I hope that they paint ol ugly and squadron designation number in a darker color? I am a former Vigilante when we were on the USS Midway flying the A model. Loaded a few weapons back then! I will never forget those days!!!! Hope someone puts out some decals for the E model birds? Fly high 151 fly high!
  17. A big THANKS to you guys for working to get us back up! I was having withdrawls from not having this site to look at! Forget getting him beer! Lets get him a big bottle of Jack Daniels black label!!!!!!!!!!
  18. Guys/Gals I'm going to have to pull my kit from the build. Ran in to issues that I cant seem to fix without messing it up more than it already is. Plus I dont have time to spend on it at this time. Hope you all have fun! I will check in from time to time.
  19. Come on man! your killing me here!! Thats like getting a tootsie pop and only licking it once! You know deeeeeeeep in the back of your mind you want to do maore than 200. Well I hope you dont stop! You do good work and it would be a shame to see you stop building your favorite aircraft.
  20. Nice Job there Phantom!!!!!!! Wheres #168 at? or how about #1000? lol Keep up the great work bud :D
  21. Phantom I have a question for you. What are you going to do when you have built every line bird in the Phantom fleet? If you dont slow down you going to have to revisit a bird you have already built and do it again!!! Keep up the Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat work!
  22. Check this site out, they have name brand compressors and some off brand ones. Im looking at one of the IWATAS but got to get the money together. http://www.tcpglobal.com/airbrushdepot/
  23. I hope they don't ax 151! thats my ol squadron, I was with them on board Midawy with A models. Damn good squadron and the go to one at that!
  24. Ken Thanks for the info. I didnt even think about FS16440 for the chassis paint. I was thinking of using Light Ghost Grey, but decided against it due to it looking too light. As soon as I get the chance to spray Im going to try and finish my J. Mayfield dodge dealers ride. Thanks again.
