Thank you very much. All of this has been helpful

1. Is there a current 1/48 aftermarket source for the small stabilators? 2. are they included in any kit in 1/48? 3. Can anyone recommend a good source for drawings if I need to cut down the Tamiya ones? Thanks

If this is still available, I will take it F-16C: Speed Hunter Graphics 48007 "SEAD Specialists - Wild Weasel Vipers Part I", € 18

I understand this is hard to come by and will command a premium.

Like everything else, situation dictates. (do they still teach METT-T?) If your element is four-six people fast roping off a little bird, it is probably less likely you dedicate one person to get the rope, If it's 30+ coming out of a Chinook, maybe you designate someone. Are people still shooting at you? Even in combat they will not have and endless supply of fast-ropes and loosing ropes after every insert may eventually hurt your mission capability. As far as burying chutes, again situation dictates. I could see a small team burying chutes, but if you are jumping a sizable

They have way more purpose-built equipment than when I was in (a very good thing). It looks like a belt that probably has an attachment point manufactured in. It would allow you to attach a safety line. We literally used a sling rope. I was in 1st Ranger Battalion 86-87. most of the time I was on a TF bird, it was a MH-60 or 47. We also used a sling rope on those as they seldom had the sears in. I got to ride the little birds maybe for 3-4 training missions (each mission consisted of multiple rehearsals). Back then we weren't allowed to take pics of any of TF-160's AC.

There were straps on the man-pods, but seldom felt the need to hang on. We tied a sling rope safety line around or waist and snapped in to points attached to the fuselage. The pilot gave us a 1 minute warning and we unsnapped. After that it was weapons up, ready to fire. This was a long time ago (late 80's with 1/75), but I doubt those aspects have changed much.

SB has two different boxings of a Revell Huey Hog in 1/48. Are these the same kit?

At Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station Air Show this past sunday VM16 was on display VM14 Flew a demonstration The difference in the two grays didn't seem as strong as some others. Both aircraft had these black sections above the starboard intake

see above

Pics were from Beaufort Air Show this weekend. I need to figure out how to post without it linking back to my album. I will get them back up soon.

I bought two kits from YoungTiger1 and all went well.

Harrier

OV-10A still available? If so, I'd like it

I have to believe that even if this specific failure mode wasn't anticipated, the possibility of a visor failing in some way was. I would bet that the basic flight instrument readings can be displayed on the console.

nevermind

Gianni, That is looking really good.

I will take the Academy 1/48 CH-53E Academy 1/48 CH-46E PM sent

I am looking for the 1/48 Hasegawa AV-8B Harrier II "Desert Harrier". I think it is kit 09538.

I bought something Juan had posted on this site. It was a great deal and shipped very quickly. Everything arrived in new condition. I would recommend doing business with him and would do so again myself.

I am interested in the EA-6B package. Is it still available? What is the kit number of the Kinetic EA-6B?

I bought a few items dann posted for sale last Thursday. They arrived very quickly and in the condition expected. I would certainly buy from him again.
