Hoping someone can help me out. thanks

1/48 Su-25 and MiG-29ub. I’m looking at you Great Wall Hobby.

I think that's why the F-15 is one of the least compelling aircraft from a modelling perspective. It's hard to get the contrast to look right, and other than a different tail flash color or squadron badge the Air Force is pretty lame about unique schemes. The F-18 which has so many compelling squadron logos and CAG jets designs that change on a yearly basis. Plus F-18s can be weathered in a million ways whereas most f-15s are pretty pristine. Especially during the Compass Ghost era.

Wow rose look really dark. Do those colors fade or does bright sunlight make the lighter?

http://imgur.com/GsPSUWt I used MRP 36375 for the darker portions and then 2:1 ratio of 36375 and white for the lighter portions. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipMo_h6cA9Hh1qCJ8MO8GFX-FHdOz6MOUe2gaDui

AKAN seems to run too dark in general. Some colors really lend themselves to scale effects. On the US side of things I'm continually frustrated with light and dark ghost gray. Compared to photos taken in sunlight, all manufacturers run too dark when painting 1/48 scale. I like the MRP offerings, and think the Ukraine Su-27 light blue and gray colors are a good match for the su-35.

Looks off to me.

Cybermodeler what’s new page has a kit release schedule they update on a regular basis. Britmodeller rumourmonger is a good site as well. im curious why you don’t like the forums. I mean you are here after all.

What is the difference between the m346 and the Yakelov jet?

Or an Su-25

Well since we have an Iranian Tomcat how about an Iraqi mirage f1?

Would mid 80s F-15s have had the LAU-128s?

Was the F-106 any good at ACM?

When did the LAU-128 enter the USAF inventory. Would pre AIM-9X sidewinders be compatable with them? thanks

Thanks. I know there is a Kinetic MLU boxing but I’ve heard mixed reviews on the quality of their F-16s

Is the Kinetic f-16 MLU the best kit for the new Romanian F-16s, or would there be a better option for the Tamiya/Hasegawa stable?

I am. As you said Hasegawa gives you 6 each of the type.

You are right, but their missile sets come with 4 of each type. It would be nice to get at least that many. F-16s A-10s, F-15 and legacy hornets all routinely carry more than 2 of the type. Just a missed opportunity from Meng

18 bucks and only 2 GBU-54s? $72 to load out and F-18E is ridiculous.

Thanks, what’s the problem with the GBU-31 from the Navy’s perspective. It seems to be pretty common on the F-16

I tried to order one from Scale Hobbyist but my payment got refunded as they were out of stock can’t find any from the usual stateside sources.

Seems like the Super Hornets are utilizing the GBU-32 quite a bit in Syria. I'm having trouble sourcing them now that Attack Squadron has gone out of the AM resin business. Any leads. Also is the GBU-31 a common munition for the Navy to use?

I am flummoxed with HUD assembly’s. I like that manfacturers are stepping up ther game with PE and thin clear film, but they are super tricky to get proper alignment and attaching the very thin clear pieces is nearly impossible. Any tips?

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Very helpful.

Ugh, That is going to make for a tedious and near impossible masking job
