Yeah I’m just wondering because all UK outlets have had it in stock since mid November

No knows or has it?

Anyone know when this kit will hit the states? Or has it and I missed it? All US based stores do not have it, Spruebothers etc...

Hi all, I am building a Tornado GR4 during Operation Telic and wondering about aircraft load. I want to build a jet carrying storm shadows, and wondering what would be mounted on the inboard wing pylon rails. Were Aim-9s always loaded? What about BOL rails? Did they appear early on in the conflict in 2003, or not until later? Would Sidewinders also be mounted to the BOLS?

Travel pod?

No....

Not a single close up photo? What is this? I guess I’ll have to take your word that a gloss coat isn’t needed?

They are now defunct. No chance of getting their products.

They have not! And thanks for this from a fellow North Dakotan modeler.

Absolutely this. The Revell kit has detail that rivals Eduard/Tamiya/Hasegawa. The fit issues are mostly preventable by following other build guides. I just finished an Italian IDS and the surface detail just pops perfectly all around on the finished model.

This is exactly the way I do it. It did the Monogram F-101 Voodoo and I worked a small area at a time, removing the old raised line and scribing the new one in its place. The outline is still visible to follow. I would also take a picture of all the parts of the kit to see where all the detail and rivets go, in case I didn’t find accurate drawings.

I would say it depends on what version F-104 you want to build. If you want to build a 104S, you must get the Daco set regardless...for all other versions, I’d say go for Kinetic kit. Except F-104C obviously, that requires Hasegawa/Daco too.

I have this airbrush. It does a real nice job and is easy to clean. It does feel a bit heavy and clunky compared to my Iwata HP-CS but that doesn’t affect its performance. As you said, the price of Mr. Hobby airbrushes can’t be beat

Just saw a sheet of wrap- around schemes go for over $50 on EBay. A new sheet could be a winner, just sayin...

Ok thanks guys! How about the pylon the TER is mounted on? Is it by chance the special one meant for the Sparrow missle? Or a standard F-16 pylon for that specific station?
