The one in Dayton does indeed look to be Yellow Chromate. This was taken in April 2013. IMGP3056.jpg by kozlok2, on Flickr

It's available in resin from Steel Beach: Here

You should print off extras of the stencil sheet and sell them separately so we can build bunches!

Thanks for the compliment. I discovered Dick Blick Master Kolinsky sables many years ago. They make painting a perfect line a breeze. I wish it were skill, but the only skill I possess is choosing the best paintbrush.

Just a bit of paint and a number 0 sable. I used Model Master RLM04, I liked that it wasn't as bright as pure yellow.

Had the jet more or less done before the decals arrived, got it done tonight. Thanks Kursad for some awesome looking Voodoos! Took some quick snaps on the bench. Will try to set up to take photos on a nicer background later. IMGP5649.jpg by kozlok2, on Flickr IMGP5644.jpg by kozlok2, on Flickr

Got my F-101's today! WOOT WOOT, the jet is 99% done, just waiting for these beauties. Should be 100% by Monday.

To clear up any confusion. 1: paint the aircraft with whatever paint you want, oil or acrylic. If you paint in gloss acrylics, skip step 2. 2: coat with any good gloss acrylic clear coat. If your main paint was enamel or other solvent based paint, make sure it is fully cured before the acrylic clear. I usually wait a week or so. Future is probably available in your country under a different name. Really, though, any acrylic clear works, future is just very nice, and very cheap. 3: wash with enamel paints or oil paints. I like oil paints (for artists) thinned with turpenoid. 4: wait a

Due to colossal stupidity, I have destroyed all of the struts for my 1/48 Eduard Fokker VII. I'm hoping someone out there has a kit which has suffered some sort of calamity, but the struts are still intact. Please PM me, or email to kozlok1 AT gmail DOT com.

I was at the Air Force museum earlier in the week, and took a couple of shots of the fabric sample off of Reed Chambers "Flag Bus" show bird. Since it is actually quite difficult to photograph in there because they keep it practically dark, and I was fortunate enough to have my large aperture lens with me, I though I'd post these here for reference. A little glare from the glass, but not too bad. Thought you might like the reference for those who can't make it to Ohio! The colors should be quite accurate because I adjusted the white balance to the frame, which certainly looked perfectly wh

I sent a pm about the grim reapers partial sheet, never saw a reply. Pm me if still for sale!

You should ask twobobs if they'll share their artwork since it's long OOP.

I will look tonight, 50/50 chance I still have them. PM your address so I can get them out tomorrow if I find them.

+1 for Joseph. Great work, fast turnaround. ALPS printed.

Darren builds a Tomcat? I thought I'd never see the day (LOL)! Seriously one of the best. A great new technique, I think I'll steal it from you!

Meds + Tenax - Sleep = Cognitive fail.

I think that sheet only has E model F-5's on it.

Check it again, this one is different, the stripe is not black with white arrows, but more like the low vis one, but in black. Also, look at the tank markings-unique.

Sprue brothers has the 48003 sheet in stock. http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/maw48003.htm

There's also this scheme from 1996 which is sort of low vis in the front, high vis in the back (kind of a mullet scheme, if you will!)

Ok, so I've been away from modeling for awhile, and I just came across this (new?) scheme for VMFA-115 http://tomoroku.sakura.ne.jp/aircraft/VMFA-115/12%20VMFA-115%20%23201.jpg Who do we have to bribe for good aftermarket decals for these?

Not really a model, but I AM working on my 1/48 Voodoo, if only Kursad would get those Texas ANG decals released. Anyway, I shot this photo of a static display F-101 in Panama City FL today, thought I'd share it with all of you. ZOOM.... by Kozlok1, on Flickr

Update and Bump. I realized that I posted this right before Nationals. Maybe now that everyone is back, there may be more interest.

OK, what I'm really going for is this look: Here's where she stands now. Still want to do a brownish wash, and need to add the gun smoke:

I'm doing a Marine F-8, fully loaded with air to ground, and I'm wondering if I over did the weathering a bit. The pictures I've seen make the Marine birds look pretty dirty, but the pics are usually blurry or very small. I'm especially worried about the white areas. I could overcoat a little more, but I don't want to loose the shading completely. Opinions? Bigger Picture
