  1. Watched a video on Youtube about it, looks like August release.  Kit looks nice.  I just built the B-1 and it was a pleasure to build.  One feature I like that I saw about the B-2 kit is the ability to open the aerial refuel "door".  Would make for a cool display with a KC-....

  2. Latest and greatest
     
    1/48 Tamiya Mustang as “Ole Yeller”
    Converted the kit to a 2 seater, I used some parts from the DEF Model set for Maverick's Mustang to complete the civilian parts.  Guns and ammo boxes were filled in.
     
    I purposely used two different styles of panel lines. Pictures in real life show a clean plane except around the engine. Canopy was tinted a green/blue  color. I also added a second landing light, which is seen on his aircraft. Yellow paint is RLM 04 Gunze C113 with a Mr. Color Semi-Gloss Finish
     
    Decals are from Draw.  The Bob Hoover figure is a train figure, I replaced his hat with Bob’s trademark straw hat. The base is from Bases By Bill, painted with tamiya paint and then added some grass.

    I am hoping to make a return this summer.  Would love to find our more information on the Harriers arrival since they are listed for Friday now in the Boeing Plaza

    I've heard that they arriving Thursday and departing late Friday or Saturday, but nothing concrete 

  4. Me watching the Thunderbirds documentary, and my wife enters the room 

     

    Wife: Thunderbirds?

     

    Me: Air Force's demonstration squadron, like the Blue Angels 

     

    Wife:  Do they have a "Fat Albert"?

     

    Me: No

     

    Wife:  Well they suck

     

    Wife leaves the room 

  5. I have an "expensive" airbrush I use for paint jobs that require fine finishes, I have an Amazon special for other paint jobs such as gloss coat etc.. 

     

    I find that the Amazon cheap ones tend not to last as long, plus pretty hard to find parts, so you have to replace it completely when it breaks. They have their place but I'll keep my good one for doing fine work etc...  

  6. Any one have any pics of how a Grumman UF-1 would be painted etc...?  I cannot seam to find any pictures online.  There a few small ones in the Ginter Book.  Would it be close to the USAF bird in the USAF Museum?   

  7. There is a Hobby Town, too, but it isn't anything spectacular.  Hayes is decent, but they cut their selection down a bit.  If you are going to be in Fayetteville, and you have time make the trip to Sanford and go to "Wings, Wheels and Waves".  Might want to check their Facebook or call before you leave.  He sometimes closes for shows and other reasons.   He has a great selection of kits, new and "used", also carries Gunze paints and other stuff.  

     

    When are you planning on being in FAY?
