  1. Hi C5Flyer62, Would you be interested in the Italeri TF-104G? I have this kit with a ton of resin and decal extras for this kit, but it is the 2 seat version. I can send pictures this weekend or a list of the extra decals and resin if interested, but I am down at Fort Eisenhower now and won't be home until late Friday evening. Thanks, Jeff Newton Simpsonville, SC
  2. Just finished a trade with LONGMC. He promptly replied to all of my communications and shipped my trade item as promised on time. He even went above and beyond what was agreed upon on the trade. The items was received in great shape as it was well packaged. Buy and trade with confidence. Thanks Mike, as I look forward to doing business with you in the future! Jeff Newton
  3. Thanks to the generosity of Joe Hegedus, I now have the 1500 L droptanks for my Tornado project. Jeff Newton
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. I will second goondman's praise for Rod D. Excellent communications, great prices for his kits and superfast shipping. Buy with confidence! Jeff Newton
  12. 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 . . .
  13. Hi Niels, Thanks for the quick reply. I think I will go with a small GBU to round it out. Jeff
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. Geoff M., I believe that Eduard is slated to re-release the -3 Hellcat in a ProfiPack boxing in May or June of this year. HTH, Jeff
  18. Dave really is a great guy and a straight shooter. Very approachable and a pleasure to talk with. I have spoken with him several times over the years at model shows in the Atlanta area, most recently at the last IPMS show in October. He does a tremendous service for all of us who love this hobby with his Flying Leatherneck decals, resin, and now 3-D printing. In my opinion, the use of the wonderful products he offers through Flying Leatherneck makes our hobby more enjoyable, as I do not have the talent, time nor inclination to scratch build the items he offers for sale. Buy with confiden
  19. I understand that TwoBobs will be releasing a sheet with these markings very soon. HTH, Jeff
  20. Hi AFM. Great looking Hornet; love the asymmetric loadout with the dual 55 racks on the port wing. Just as nice as the Hornets you had at the AtlantaCon 2021 show last month. Keep up the good work, and hope to catch up with you at the next Atlanta show in March. Jeff Newton Simpsonville, SC
  21. Just completed a successful purchase from Ryan 34. The kits arrived on time and in great condition, with good communication with Ryan 34 all throughout the process. Buy with confidence! Jeff Newton
  22. Hi Ken, Slightly off topic, but there is a wonderful HobbyTown USA in Augusta off of Bobby Jones Expressway, so you will not want for hobby kits and supplies. Also, there is a local IPMS chapter in Augusta, but I don't recall the name of their chapter off the top of my head. Check the IPMS-USA website for more information. HTH, Jeff Newton
  23. Beautiful build John. I have bookmarked and read your build thread several times while slogging through my build. You are one of the experten that I was referring to when I was doing my research as well. If I recall correctly, I read somewhere that postwar the RAF and possibly the RAAF painted the wheel wells of their Mustangs aluminum in order to fight corrosion. Based on that, I thought it would be logical for the wheel wells to be painted aluminum dope as well if they were going to the trouble to paint the entire airframe, especially as these aircraft were being kept in service many yea
  24. Hi Goondman, I am also working on a SAAF F-51D, but using the Eduard kit. From what my research into this question has revealed, the SAAF flew both NMF and aluminum doped Mustangs, just as the ROKAF and USAF did. From what I can gather from the various Mustang experten on this and other websites, the tell in photographs as to whether the Mustang in NMF or painted aluminum is to look at the rectangular panel from which the exhausts protrude on the engine cowling. If it appears to be darker in color, as do the photographs of WWII-era NMF Mustangs, then the plane is probably NMF. If it a
