Images on the way! Let me know if you need anything else!

Hey Brian, I've got the decals in front of me and the markings for the BDU Splinter scheme have a brown tint to them, not gray. There are gray markings for the Artic Splinter Scheme, but the ones for the BDU Viper look brownish to me. I got the FS color guide out and the color that comes very, very close is FS 20095 if that helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Brad

Great tip Wolfman, Thanks.

Hey Aaron, I did the same thing when I bought the GWH kit of the PDX ANG boxing for Claw Huang after he retired. I was able to get mine cheaper from their original ANG boxing, but I thought the same thing! still a great kit, so I'll have to source armament from aftermarket suppliers or the spares box! Brad

Correct!

No not at all.....the PANG painted his two kills on the jet that he was taking his fini flight in. My understanding is that they were removed right after. They were recognizing his accomplishment before he retired! I believe you are 100% correct in saying that 156 was the actual aircraft that splashed the two MiG-29's

If you google Captain Jeff 'Claw' Hwang and look under images, you will see the aircraft with two MiG kill stars. My understanding is that the Air Guard put them on the aircraft for Capt Hwang's fini flight prior to retirement, then they were removed. Great Wall Models did a special edition F-15C for this aircraft. Claw was credited with two MiG 29 kills. Hope this was helpful

The ADF conversion is a huge need! I'd be in for several sets!

+1 for the ADF, I'd be in for several sets!

Sweet!

Oh go ahead and take my money! Those look awesome Jake!

Sure does.......now if we can find a resin caster to make these things!

Hey Aaron, I'm planning on being there too with a former Base Commander. Let me know when you'll be there!

They have the technology......we just need to find the resin Guys to do it!

Hey Resin guys, We need some help.......With 4 F-15 units now flying the Sniper pod-Oregon Air Guard, Florida Air Guard, California Air Guard and the Mass Air Guard, we need some aftermarket parts to mount the Sniper Pot to the Centerline of the F-15 Light Gray's and the new MFD update to the IP. I'd be in for several sets...........anyone else?

Hi Jeffery, I did some test fitting and you're right the thickness is the canopy plastic is the difference, it's close but off far enough that I'll use the set I have for a Hasegawa build. Do you know how long it will be before you master the canopy set for the ZM kit?

Hey Jeffery, As soon as I get back in town I'll cut some resin off of the pour blocks and see how they fit....I'll let you know. Unless I totally missed my measurements, I think they will work! Photos to follow!

Hey Jake, Just received my copy of the Modern Hog Guide.......well worth the wait! Excellent job!

Hi Jeffery, I just received my set and they look fantastic! I also ordered you're F-4J canopy detail set. After measuring the ZM canopy's against both Academy and Hasegawa I think they will fit just fine. Can't wait to get started on my J model F-4

MY build is about 90% done, and I can post some pictures as soon as I'm back home.....on the road right and won't be back until tomorrow. The XMM intakes do a great job correcting a glaring mistake! Brad

I used the XMM resin intakes on my Trumpeter F-106 build and found them to fix the kit intake issue very well, and they have full intake trunking!

Thanks for the help everyone! Much appreciated

Hi Guys, Sorry to sound like an FNG, but how do I PM another member. GT Resin is making a set of F-4J exhaust nozzles and he mentioned to PM him to order. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Brad

Hey Everyone, Getting ready to start a project and need some input.....what's the best aftermarket F-4J ejection seat out there? 1/48 Scale!
