Where did you find the 2006 schedule at? I dont see anything on their website. Edit: Nevermind, just saw the other post with the schedules jason

After seeing the quality of the kit, I think I may have to pick one up for myself. Plus that is my all time favorite paint scheme too. Keep the pics coming. Can't wait to see you finished product. jason

I have got to make it out there some day to that airshow. Great pics! I really like the one of the thunderbird with the moon in the background. did you get any pics of the c-141 in the background? jason

Is that procedure in the POH? jason

I like those 2 pics with the entire side pannels off. Great pics! jason

Here is a link to a story talking about all the past problem the A320 has had with its landing gear. jason

Actually those pics are from an earlier landing gear problem from a few years ago. The plane involed in last weeks event was N536JB "Canyon Blue". Not Blue Bird, N503JB. The same landing gear problem happen with a United flight before too. jason

I always like the C-141. They use to have them at the ANG base in Jackson (MS) so I saw them doing touch-and-goes numerous times. I was and still am impressed with how short a runway it used for takeoffs and landings. Jackson got rid of their starlifters and has C-17s now. Any kits out there for C-141? jason

Last time I went to Hobby Lobby that had all the Minicraft Delta 737-400 kits marked with big yellow stickers saying it was actually a -300 not a -400 as the box said. jason

The past month or so for airlines gets worse. All 117 on board died. Thought go out to the families. edit: Here is a link to the story. jason

I don't know how much luck you will have at finding it at a retail store like Wal-Mart. I too have never see RoG kits there. I have seen this kit in my nearest Hobbytown USA. If you live near one of those you may want to give them a look. Another option is Hobby Lobby, esp. during a half-off sale they sometimes have. All the Hobby Lobbies I have been to usually have a pretty good selection of airliners. One more place to look, even though it may cost a little bit more, is any locally owned hobby stores in your area. Hope this helps. Good luck looking for it. jason

Thanks for the tips. I dont consider you being annoying. Next time I build another F-117 I will try and incorporate those things. About the paint, I used normal Testors gloss black followed by a couple of coats of dullcoate. An airbrush is on my wishlist for whenever I finish school and an not living in a dorm. In fact, I am saying a couple of kits for the day when I do have an airbrush. Thanks jason

last but not least, the underside:

another one for you

i was really glad the way the decals came out, little to no silvering.

another one:

ok try these:

I read the book in Jr. High several years ago. I went to a science/space summer camp the following summer. We got to build model rockets and were given total creative control over the color artwork and fin alignment on our rockets. After I made mine, I wrote "Thunderchild" down the body of the rocket. Everyone starting coming up to me asking what it ment. It made me feel like the old educated one in the bunch . Great looking image. I'll be sure and pass it along. jason

sorry for the darkness, I will try to retake some pictures and post some more. jason

One last one for now.

another

I built this kit straight from the box.

another:

I feel pretty good how it turned out.

I finished this earlier this summer. I have been meaning to post pics for awhile. I had a hard time getting my camera to be in the same area as my model. Here it is:
