Here's my Clearprop Skyshark done up using Caracal's TA-7C markings from the Naval Weapons Evaluation Facility in New Mexico. There's a big fat nuke on the belly as well.

Yes. The F-15 belongs to Mike Witkowski and it's been shown around several times.

SAC is hot garbage. Save your money.

Here are some pictures of my Titan Models 1/72 C-32A vac and 3D printed kit. The windows are from Airways Graphics and Air Force 2 from Draw Decals. Very different type of decals from regular waterslide. They don't react at all to solvents and the film is almost like a very thin plastic. There were some pretty big gaps at the wingroot. I was able to fill most of it by spreading the leading edges of the wing and gluing in place. The fuselage gaps were then filled with superglue and topped with Apoxiesculpt. The subsequent gaps in the leading edges were filled styrene stock

I added seatbelts for a P-51, wiring, and two LEDs. Some of the pics are WIP.

First hobby shop you remember visiting?
swimmer25k replied to Hooker169's topic in General Discussion
Orange Blossom Hobbies in Miami was my first stop. In college I frequented George's Hobby House in Lawrence, KS (also Waldo Hobbies in Missouri). In grad school I used to love going to the Silver Springs, MD Squadron shop. Work took me to Dallas where Phil's ruled the world (MAL was a nice place as well). All are dead and buried now. -
Ditto for me.

Thanks. It’s Hasegawa Trytool hologram film (sticker) on clear styrene. They are several types available. -
1/48 Tamiya F-16C Converted to the X-62A

The extra stick in the front cockpit is removable. I’m adding it once the seat is glued into the tub. It’ll get knocked off if I put it in now. -
I stole parts from the Hasegawa Polish F-16D kit and bashed it with the Tamiya C. Cockpit is Aires Block 40. Markings will be from Twobobs once they’re released.

The HARV is right up your alley.

Thanks for the compliments. You’re (sort of) correct on the back quad hole. I’m building the complete stack that’ll be displayed on its side. The LM will be coming out of the SLA and behind the CSM. I’ll start on the first stage after I knock out a Tamiya F-16 conversion to the X-62 VISTA. Chris

I added the New Ware detail set. For the Mylar/Kapton areas i gilded different gold and chrome leaf to the plastic. Some of the gold areas were sprayed with clear oranges or yellows.

BAM News - Universal intakes for the Hasegawa 1/48 Phantoms released!

Here’s a closer photo showing the petal configuration. It’s different than the regular PW. -
BAM News - Universal intakes for the Hasegawa 1/48 Phantoms released!
swimmer25k replied to arnobiz's topic in Jet Modeling
Your exhausts are inaccurate. Your model has interlocking petals like on a standard PW exhaust (bottom picture). The Active exhaust is completely different. Each petal tucks underneath one adjacent petal and gets the same treatment from its other neighbor. This allows the nozzle to swivel on three axes. I’ve attached two photos below. It’s abundantly clear that this is the case. You’ve advised on Facebook that this is an illusion. I respectfully disagree. Please show us what your using to come to your conclusion. -

How far apart are the GWH and the Hasegawa kits in dimensions? In other words, can your kit be made to fit the GWH kit? -
