I picked this kit up recently, and would recommend getting either the Nautilus fuselage brace(Wood), or the 3D printed one from Flying Leatherneck. I got the 3D one, and it is worth every penny! Now, if someone would just do something about that hump...

I ordered some 1/48th ordnance, M-118x2, SUU-30x2, LAU-10x2 from MPM in '23, and it came quickly, and seem to be well made and detailed. My experience, I am in no affiliated with them.

Just want to share what I picked up over the weekend; Punch right sized holes in aluminum foil, then put on a drop of UV glue, then cure! Brilliant!

MV Lenses were very nice, but now out of production, right? Little-lenses from the UK are no longer being made - SO - Does anybody make Clear and Colored lenses anymore?

Those are BRUs

Looks Great! Thank you!

Any sneak peeks of the Dark Vipers V?

It does!

I can't help with the OPs question, but I agree about the Monogram Thud. The real A/C has an ogive, Mono provides a cone. I made myself crazy over a fix until I simply added a .030 shim on the BACK side to eliminate that step between fuselage and cone, filled the pitot hole in the front, and filed the fwd half to taper to a point. Now the length is correct for the cone itself. I then drilled a hole, and inserted new pitot made from 1mm Albion NiSilver tube, with a needle in the end. A better modeler may have come up with a more elegant solution, but this is what I did. Cheers!

Thanks everyone for the help. It's appreciated!

The things one learns. Thank you. So, does anyone make an aftermarket Optical Sight Unit for an F-4, or the Combiner glass for an F-14D, and possibly B model? 1/48th, again.

Arrived in yesterdays mail, and it looks to be a great read!

Does anyone make them? I've still got a stack of Monogram and ESCI kits to build!

Two Bobs decals say FS 17875, which MRP calls White. Jake Melampy's F-16 book says they are "A very, very light shade of gray." AMS strikes again!
