Thanks Corey. I’m glad I drove it all the way from Virginia. I got it off of eBay from the maker. Combat Conversions. chris

Looking forward to this one. I’ve got the Combat Conversions kit en route.

Believe it or not; it’s what I do professionally.

Air Force Armament Museum? The pickets from the railing and black trim below suggests that this may be it.

Inside. Here's a list of survivors. Possibly one of them? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_surviving_Republic_F-105_Thunderchiefs

Thank you. I drove that sucker 600 miles from Virginia and can't believe it made the round-trip without a scratch. Chris

Those are awesome. Thanks for the lead.

I’m working on the 1/35 Red Iron Lunokhod. Currently on the wheels. 3 down and 5 to go. I’d like to mount it on a moon-scape base. I’ve got several of the AK Interactive terrains available with different textures to choose from. Have any of you done a base like this? I have a 1/48 Dragon Apollo base that I may RTV and resin as a starting point.

You’ll still need flux.

I use a Weller with a fine tip. I will get some solder on the tip after tinning and place it over a fluxed joint. Stainless is more difficult to solder than brass, so it needs more heat.

I finally broke down and bought the Red Iron Lunokhod kit the other day. Close-up reference material seems to be a little hard to come by. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Chris

A while back I bought the Blackdog 1/48 A-10A kit that opens up all the panels for the Italeri -A kit. There are some nice -C decals available. Phase Hangar is doing a -C conversion for the Hobby Boss -A kit. If using the Phase Hangar conversion, can the Italeri kit be transferred to a A-10C? chris

The Hasegawa weapons bay doors are a great addition as well as a nice ejection seat. I added some resin nozzles to mine, but they weren’t necessary. The etched doors are a huge improvement over the kit parts. I followed the Hasegawa instructions for the paint scheme and I think it’s the best solution out there for paint scheme.

PM me. I’ve got an extra. Maybe two. chris

There’s a nice instrument panel set available for the Kittyhawk Su-34 and was wondering how the Hobby Boss panel dimensions compare to one another. Thanks. chris

I don’t have too many in progress pictures. I soldered most of the parts together. Much better and cleaner than using super glue.

Don’t quit! Chris

Which hosting site are you all using now? Chris

Shoot me a PM. I may be able to help.

I bought a few of these sheets a while back and was wondering if the nose scallop decals blow up in water and/or refuse to lay down. Thanks, Chris

F this guy. Dragon Apollo 10 came in the mail wrecked from poor packaging. It was like pulling teeth for the return. Returned in August and no refund. EBay sucks as well and there isn’t anyone with a pulse to talk to about it.

PM or hit me up at swimmer25k@hotmail.com. Lots to trade or straight up cash. chris

I’ve heard these the recent RF-101C kit doesn’t have much in common (a kit redesign) with the earlier F-101A/C. Has anyone tried shoving the tub and/or wheel wells for the A/C into the RF? thanks, Chris
