  1. Here are some photos my friend took while we were downtown
  2. Would you have any photos while they are in the paint barn? I'd love to get enough photos for some decals.
  3. Yeah, when it flew in to Grand Rapids on Tuesday, the airport viewing area (where I took these photos) was blocked by some 'black cars.' I was suprised to find that it was open today. The area was packed with onlookers.
  4. Funny, I was on the Bridge street bridge :) If you find anymore pictures, post them, I'd love to see them. Apparently, 11 of the eagles stopped @ Selfredge for the night (According to the Press).
  5. I was lucky enough to watch "SAM29000" take the Ford family back to California. It took off from the Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids@ 1:15pm. I didnt realize how many bumps and antenna it has.
  6. Boscosticks, try youtube, I know there were already quite a few movies up.
  7. When I found these pictures my first thought was email Two Bobs ;-)
  8. I dont have any idea each plane had a different emblem, but I did find this: from here: http://www.woodradio.com/pages/the_rick_and_scott_show.html It was awesome to be there in person! I saw them refuel on the N.W. side of Grand Rapids. An awesome tribute to the president!
  9. I plan on being there There have been some good (at least for Grand Rapids) military activity at KGRR in the last couple of days. Aparently there is a C-5 on the ramp, On Saturday I saw a 130 land, drop some people and stuff off and quickly left.
  10. I love this kit! (The truth is that the Tamiya kit scares the crap out of me. I have one with lots of resin waiting for me to grow some hair on my chest ) The revell kit has its issues, numero uno is fit. you WILL need putty, sandpaper, and lots of elbow grease. Be careful attaching the forward fuselage and the rear. It can be a mess. Also, try to buy a newer mold, the older ones suffer from some major warping of the wings. The newest boxing from Revell Germany has a awesome decal sheet, with full data markings, missile decals, etc. It is much better than the crappy VF-124 markings in the
  11. Thanks for the linky! interesting Intruder
  12. This A-6 paint job is sweet! Does anyone have the story or reasoning behind it What was the time frame? I'm assuming it was a special deal. More important, any decals available
  13. maybe I'm a complete nerd, but I noted that the copyright was 2006 during the end credits, so it cant be that dated.
  14. Very good show! Much better than than some history channel stuff. Im excited to watch it next Wednesday!
  15. and the same to you Jim! Excellent seller!
  16. "MSRP (USD) $49.95 " :D :P who would buy it with a pricetag like that?? You can practically get your hands on a trump A-7 with these weapons for that price if you look around.
  17. Turns out Eagle strike makes 2 sets in 1:48. Anyone know a good method of converting these to 1:32?
  18. How feasible is it to make 1/32 decals from 1/48? Could I essentially scan them, resize them and print?
  19. Hi. I've never been a big fan of the gull gray and white paint sheme on tomcats. However there is something about VF-32's Yellow tail that I just love! Is there any decals for this bird in 1/32? I know, its a tough shot when asking for 1/32, but I thougt I might get lucky :-) thanks!
  20. Hi! Im in need of the decal and paint section of the instructions for the Black Knights F-14A. I bought the 1994 version off of ebay, and to my suprise the seller provided me the decals from the black Knights kit. Can someone scan the pages with the decal placement for me? Im interested in using the Tophatters decals :D thanks!! Matt
  21. Well, I finished her last night. I added some sparrows and 2 late model sidewinders. Im not sure if this is correct, but they can easily be taken off :D I also added the ARC antenna that is just a nub on the Revell kit. Thanks for the comments!
  22. Hey all! I thought I'd share with you my 1/32 tomcat. Its the Revell kit, but I used alot of parts from an old Tamiya cat to improve it. I must say that it fit relatively well, and I had to fill relatively few gaps. I think I used a early mold, because nothing was warped or had flash. I used the exhausts, ladder, and front tires from the Tamiya kit, and canopy detail set from model tech. The decals are CAM. I was really suprised that I used Jolly Roger markings. I love the tomcat, but I think that vf-84 and 103 markings are way over produced. I'd rather see some decals for some other tomcats.
