This is interesting. I’ve only noticed the ECS vent being deleted on JASDF Eagles. Are your reference pictures of Elmendorf or Kadena C-models? The vent could have been deleted as part of the APG-63v2 radar installation, which was fitted to a handful of jets.

Looks great! I'll be first in line for the F-15...

Wow, that looks fantastic! Do you have plans for other jets? The F-15 maybe?

Wow, cool model! Nice finish, and an awesome display. Well done!!!

I have to ask... would you consider a 1/72 sheet for the T-37? I think there are a few Hasegawa and Academy kits out there that are desperate for some new decals. Perhaps a T-37/A-37 sheet in 1/72... or a combined 1/48 and 1/72 T-37 sheet for those of us who want to take on the conversion?

Wow, really nice work!

Beautiful!

...a thousand words. Thanks!

ElectroSoldier, Thanks for pointing out these areas. I have just picked up the ResKit exhaust nozzles, which look to be pretty nice.

Scout, Thanks for the run down on the Air Graphics pod. I wish Eduard would scale down their 1/48 pod... it looks nice.

mrvark, Thank you for the drawing of the weapons bay, and the description... most helpful! I think I've got a way forward now. One question... is the PAVE Tack door insert a single piece that covers up the original bomb bay doors?

Andy, Hasegawa used to make a "pilots and ground crew" set in 1/48 that included a few seated pilots in different poses. Todd

Hello ARC, I seem to recall talk of issues with the Pave Tack pod included in the 1/72 Hasegawa F-111F kit. It looks to be a bit crude (especially the rotating sensor turret), and the weapons bay doors are incorrect. Is there anything else I'm missing? Does anyone know of an aftermarket replacement for the pod? Thanks! Todd

Kursad, Any chance you will expand your 1/72 F-111 line to include Cold War USAFE subjects? Some Upper Heyford "E's" and Lakenheath "F's" would be pretty cool...

Very nice paint work, what a great 109!

Really nice Flanker! The "unpainted" areas and burner cans are awesome... especially given it's 1/72 scale. Nice work!

Wow, that is impressive!!! The level of detail you have achieved is truly amazing.

I must be doing something wrong... I don't see the product when I search for Fairy Hobby 48008 on eBay. What am i doing wrong?

That's good looking Corsair! I really like your pilot figure and display base too. Nice work. Todd

I would be interested in some canopies for the F-15C too!

Wow, great finish! The tiger stripe camouflage turned out great and the engine exhaust nozzle is fantastic. Very realistic weathering too. I think the horizontal stabilizers on the F-16 drop a few degrees... yours appear to sit level. Great model!

Wow, great model! You have really captured the look of a well used, but well maintained Voodoo. Nice work.

Happy to share! Todd

Thanks Whiskey!!! Thanks gents, I appreciate the compliments! Joel, 2018 looks to be a busy year work wise, but I'm hopeful I'll have something to share 😁

Hi Fighting Eighty-Four, thanks for the compliments! The metal portion of the stand is part of an aluminum bar I found at my local home improvement store, polished to a high shine. Not sure what its intended purpose was, but there was a large assortment of aluminum and steel bar, rod, and tube. I fashioned a bending jig by cutting a slot/grove for the metal bar in two pieces of ~ 3" wide wood, offset near the edge of the wood (instead of the center). The wood holds the bar and keeps it straight, but allows it to slide when I bend the two pieces of wood. I did a similar stand on an F-15 mo
