Thanks to the generosity of Joe Hegedus, I now have the 1500 L droptanks for my Tornado project. Jeff Newton

Just want to give a shoutout to Joe Hegedus for kindly donating some Tornado drop tanks for an upcoming project. Thanks Joe! Jeff Newton Simpsonville, SC

Thanks Joe! PM inbound. Jeff

Greetings, I am looking for the standard size (1500 liter?) drop tanks from the Revell 1/32nd scale Tornado kit, any boxing. I am planning to use them with the Italeri kit, which only includes the larger "Hindenberger (sic?)" 2250 liter tanks. Will pay a fair price plus shipping via PayPal or whatever payment method you prefer. Thanks, Jeff Newton Simpsonville, SC USA

Hi WARDOG, Have you tried www.microscale.com? to source some of these sheets? While I don't believe they carry all of their old sheets, they have reproduced many of their former sheets. I have ordered from them several times with good success. HTH, Jeff Newton

Hi Drifter Don, I have a set of decals from the old Classic Airframe F-5A kit that has USAF, VNAF and Spanish AF markings. The decals are complete with the exception of a few red circles for the Spanish Markings. Send me your mailing address and I will get them in the mail if interested. Thanks, Jeff Newton Simpsonville, SC

Check the old Hasegawa weapons sets. I believe there is a travel pod in one of them. I don't have one handy to verify, thought. HTH, Jeff

Hi JNordgren42, Your Blue Impulse Sabre is outstanding! What a really clean build all the way around. You clearly are the uncle of the year! Quick question: How did the landing gear doors fit in the retracted position? I am eyeing doing an in-flight Hasegawa Sabre in the near future and was wondering how hard it would be to fit the doors. Thanks, and congrats on a beautiful build! Jeff Newton

MidSouth Hobbies in Memphis is the only one I know of. Good selection of new and old kits and modeling supplies. A Google search will give you the address and a map to get there. Enjoy! Jeff

I will second goondman's praise for Rod D. Excellent communications, great prices for his kits and superfast shipping. Buy with confidence! Jeff Newton

Good to hear. That jerk ripped me off for about $75 USD in merchandise about 2 years ago. Weird thing was, I had ordered directly from him several times in the past with no issues. Guess he needed my money for barrister's fees . . .

Hi Niels, Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will go with a small GBU to round it out. Jeff

Greetings, I am currently working on the new Tamiya F-35A kit, and would like to build it with the weapons bay open to show off all of that wonderful detail. My question is this: what would be a standard training loadout for the F-35A? I intend to do at least one AIM-120 training round in the bay, but I was wondering if I should have 2 training rounds (which seems redundant) for a symmetrical loadout, or would it be balanced out by a GBU training round for an air to ground mission? Any help is most appreciated, Jeff Newton

Greetings, I am looking to buy or trade for the 1/72nd scale Caracal Decals 72062 "Guard Hercs" sheet. I can do PayPal or any other form of payment, or I could do a trade for something else, as I have an extensive stash. I would like to keep any trade within the United States due to the exorbitant cost of shipping. Thanks in advance, Jeff Newton #39387 Simpsonville, SC

FYI, Furball Aero Design just released 3 new and one revised sets of decals in 1/48th scale: A sheet for the F-105 Thunderchief; a new F-18E/F Super Hornet sheet, a revised F-4B Phantom II Mig Killers sheet resized for the Tamiya kit; and a separate sheet of stencils for the Super Hornet. I am not affiliated with Furball Aero Designs in any way, just a satisfied (and poorer!) customer. Jeff Newton
