I would be in for at least 1 set. what would the set comprise of?

"idiots" is a bit harsh. I prefer: "believed the hype". Possibly "misguided support for a up and coming company that is still experiencing growing pains".

I guess "sleepy time" is over.

Entertaining is one way to put it. Could a possible compromise be that we: 1. ask the mods to rename the thread to AMK 1/48 F-14D pre-release discussion, with all of still posting to this thread, then 2. after AMK releases the kit,(whenever that may be) we ask the mods to lock this thread. Maybe even archiving it (if there is enough archive space!!!!!) 3. a new thread called "AMK F-14D release analysis" is then started for the "in the hands of modelers" kit ?

indeed. the 40% coupon at hobby lobby does make products there enticing. I would steer clear of these types of compressors though.

What do you want to do with it? I multitask with mine, as I wanted to be able to not just "hobby airbrush" but also use it as a general purpose home/garage compressor. I picked up one of these. https://www.amazon.com/California-Air-Tools-CAT-5510A-Compressor/dp/B01G75OULG It works superbly (in my view) as a hobby compressor, and quite nicely as the all around compressor, even running a framing nailer in a pinch! It is light weight, making it easy to carry up and down steps. The tank does buffer the airflow, so there isn't any pulsing, while I am brush

I don't think you will at all be disappointed with the eclipse gravity feed. in my opinion, it is much easier to clean than the neo series.

Whiskey, thanks! Unfortunately, I am finding that out now. I was hopeful to have a standard to follow, as opposed to depending on my "not so sir-mix-a-lot" ability to repeatedly mix paint colors!

visit: http://multicampattern.com/multicam_gallery_photos_video_instagram/ you might need to scroll down to the 'black" tones.

I am looking to paint a number of die cast Jeep wranglers using photos of black multicam as a reference. Does anyone have any approximations to FS595 colors for Black Multicam, or any flavor of multicam?

indeed! I would suggest to the OP to review this thread (here on ARC) from a few months ago.

Am I correct in saying that Minimum Advertised Price (ing) has the net effect of (online) vendors saying "prices to low to advertise, add to cart to see price"...or "too low to print, please call for price"......? I have seen this with Asics Running shoes as well as other "pew pew" related items. MAP does not compel vendors to sell at a minimum, they just cannot advertise the (assumedly low) price, correct?

Beautiful OOB work!

well. I just started watching a dvr copy of the spanish gp fp2. What a joke. It seems espn hasn't paid their bill to sky sports. there isn't any commentator audio! there are interviews, but no audio from the interviews! Yes a complete joke. i do miss the old crew from nbcsn. This is bad enough to make me not watch any other up and coming events.

Well, just as a follow up, I placed a small order for 3 attack squadron Polish Air Force upgrade sets for the tamiya F-16C, and am completely satisfied. I did spring for priority shipping, and received my order on time! Thanks for all of the feedback!

For some reason, I cannot find any references connecting the battle of Britain, Winston Churchill, Tamiya and their (obviously) soon-to-be released F-16D, My google-fu must be weak.

CF18, I don't necessarily think modeling is dying, I think it is fading here in North America. Where are the kits produced? Where is the aftermarket produced? It would be intriguing to see kit demographics on the eastern side of the asian rim. It seems to me that gundam has kept a bigger portion of younger folks in japan interested in the hobby. Nothing like that on the same scale seems to be promoted/popular here in the USA.

John53, I come from the same idea, my father encouraged me to model during the space race days, and I have had the bug ever since. Always circling back to the hobby. I don't think it is just necessarily computers. I feel that as time has gone by, less and less folks are doing ANYTHING with their hands, like automotive work, wood work and our favorite hobby. This also reminds me of a quote from one of my college professors (ironically, electrical engineeing wise, his initals were jwL): "when I (the professor speaking) went to college, there were 10 engineering

RIP, Gunney.

THANK YOU!

Not that it is a definitive source, but, according to this article on war-zone, all 19 JASSM-ER's were deployed from B-1B's.

check out doogs models on youtube. He has a really nice build series that compares between both SU-35's you have mentioned. it is called "flankoff'. He is painting as he goes along, and the series is ongoing! Highly worthwhile, and is quite neutral (in my opinion).

uh oh. need to visit some hobby lobby's and michaels today ASAP......

The smooth(er) lines of the SM are nice, but the two seaters have a burly look that to me says, "I can take a hit".

Okay, I will play. What variant would you all like to see first. I say SU-25TM.
