Roger that . IMHO he's being a rather malicious troll today too. I wonder what happened to his Cheerios .

NOT YOU ! 11bee is being a major troll this morning. I agree with your points. You (The feeder) by responding to 11bee (The troll) are feeding an ARC troll.

Interesting. Drawings and artwork show the 'K' with a bent elevator while the real thing show a straight one.

Dude; Don't feed the troll.

An academic question: Can the B-2 design platform fit the needs of the LRS-B? Meaning taking the B-2 fuselage design and fill it with all the LRS-B requirements. Maybe even incorporate design improvements on the fuselage itself. Also incorporate improved/more powerful engines, etc. And then build a whole new fleet. Kind of like how McDonnell Douglas did with the F-18E/F Super Hornets. But, of course, the B-2 platform is still state-of-the-art stealth technology that can benefit from any new stealth design applications. Your off-the-shelf points got me wondering, hence, my post. If th

An outsider/layperson's POV: Since the F-35 pilot information system is new and unique, getting serious sim-time/hours is incredibly important. Mastering all the functions that the F-35 system offers is the hard part. Simply flying said F-35 would be the much easier part. That being said; Waco brings up an excellent point: There's no substitute for real flying time in the a/c. Period. The pilot must get to know the 'personality' of the a/c. Especially a strike fighter where the pilot will be asking the a/c to do much more violent maneuvers than, say, a C-130J. By mastering the system via

The 'K' pontoon appears not as fat in the front, but tapers more gradually back than the 'M' does. The 'M' looks more like a wing shape and the 'K' looks like a baguette silhouette shape. Good comparison question .

It does look a little Euro, doesn't it? The glass IP should look pretty cool and hiding the fuel tanks in the pontoon gives it a clean look too.

Happy b-day; Oorah!!

Yep. There's a thread that was started about a couple of weeks ago announcing the achievement. I hope a 1/48 scale kit is in its future.

Being that I live right down the road from Mountain Home AFB, I'm building this a/c: I like all the mismatched panel colors. And for the halibut I'm going to add a 'C' colored rudder to the mix.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info .

Ah; Roger that. Thanks for the clarification .

One of the most versatile tools in a tool box!

Very nicely done .

X2 !

Amen to that. A 220+ fleet would be appropriate, seeing that it's going to provide a deterrent similar to the nuke-packing European 'Varks. Enough to cover Europe, Asia, as well as the homeland. Back in the '80s ole Crazy Ivan was kept nervous with two weapon systems present in Europe: The Pershing missiles and the "Warsaw Pact Central Heating", the nuke-carrying F-111E 'Varks.

Man, ole man; You're really doing a beautiful job with your Growler !

I'll add to the fix: This F-15E is flying with either 'C' fuel tanks or WRM (War Reserve Material). I don't know how to tell the difference: Also notice the 'C' colored panel in front of the windscreen.

Here's the company link: http://barracudacals...php?cat=14&pg=2 The resin is for the 'B' variant but I don't if, for example, there's any big difference in the intakes or wheel/tires.

Wow dude; You do some really clean work there . Very nice indeed. I have both the Revell 1/48th scale as well as the 1/72nd B-1s. I want to pick up the recently released resin goodies from Barracuda Studios for the B-1.

Awesome project with an awesome subject !

DISCLAIMER: These are only MHOs. I read some of the Jar-Jar Bink Theory. The problem I have with jar-Jar Bink is, well, Jar-Jar Bink. He's just waaaaay too annoying. And his Jamaican-ish accent really doesn't help either. The director is supposed to make a character of that type annoying yet likable or tolerable. And Darth Maul was an A-rated character in a C-rated movie. He was simply a super badazz bad guy! Without a doubt, the X-wing fighter scenes in the new trailer are super awesome! I really hope the forthcoming movie has more balance like the first trilogy had (Yes, I'm old sch

Ah; Excellent point ! I totally forgot about that!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! You have the 'Modern Eagle Guide' ! There are many of us who can only dream of having a copy of that beloved tome . Beautiful work on your Strike Eagle; BTW .
