  2. I am re-decalling a "box scale" C-123 model for a pilot, and I need 1/72 tail codes in white, both the big letters and little numbers for the serial. Anyone know of a good source? I've already sent Caracal models an e-mail to find out how much he would charge to print them as a custom job, but I thought I'd check if there was a sheet of suitable sized letters.

    The scale isn't exactly 1/72, but that's about as close as we'll get. I it scales out closer to 1/80, but whatever.

    Thanks!

  3. Can you post just a couple of little teasers for us?

    Very cool!!

    I just got walk arounds of the new CAG scheme and CO's jet, and got more coming this week!

    I think I like the dk grey tailed line jets from 2006/2007 better though.

  4. How's this look?

    I layered a few sheets of thick plastic, sanded and puttied to blend. It's not perfect, but about the best my sculpting skill allows for. The antennas are all borrowed. One from an A-4, one from a Super Hornet.

    I dremeled the bottom out to minimize sanding, then sanded it with a sheet of sandpaper on the Phantom's spine to shape.

  5. Thanks for the kind compliments. The black is just model master gloss enamel, sanded between coats.

    Bob, I didn't use the the travel pod markings, that's the regular fuel tank on the center, left gloss black. I'm still thinking I might buy a Hase F-16 someday and use the travel pod from that, and then it would be more correct.

    One tip for anyone doing this bird, put the checkers on the bottom of the tail FIRST. I did mine last and didn't have enough room below the "Makos". I had to pull them and replace with new decals. Avoid my mistake!

    Also, I painted the intake (inside and out) and put the checkers on the intake area before putting it on the model. It worked really well.

  6. As for Future, are you all referring to Future Floor Polish?

    Yes, Future floor polish. They changed the name a few years back, but it's the same stuff (I think it's "Pledge with Future" now).

    Read this:Link

    and also Link

    I use it as my only gloss coat. I airbrush it on, but it takes some getting used to to avoid putting too much on at once (it runs).

    Like I said earlier, try the Testors gloss coat in the regular spray can (do it in a well ventilated place, that's a lacquer, which is bad for the brain cells!) wear a proper spray mask with active carbon cartridge filters (you can get it at Lowes or wherever)

  7. Finished my 1/48 Tamiya with TwoBobs Makos decals. The kit and decals were a dream, my skills less so.

    Decided to go completely clean on this one, as all the pics I've seen of this bird show it super clean. I decided to arm her to the teeth, though. One question, looking at pics of various GBU's and JDAMs, I saw severl pictures of each without the yellow stripes, so I went that way (I hate painting them). Does anyone know if this is common usage?

    I did deviate from my references by adding a gloss black centerline tank, since I didn't have a travel pod. I'm thinking of putting the travel pod's decals on the centerline tank, but can't quite bring myself to do it.

    Enjoy and comment as you will.

  8. Look in the "tools & tips" section from the main ARC page. There are many how-to articles there! Kaan Gok has a nice one on weathering. Finescale Modeler is a paper magazine that often has tips on building, weathering, decaling, whatever.

    Other thoughts: Avoid the F-14 until you have quite a few kits behind you. They are generally very hard to build.

    Airbrushing is definitely a big step up in finishing. You really need one to do any kind of decent weathering. I like a gravity feed Iwata double-action (the paint cup is metal, and on top of the brush) like the revolution CR. Many people advise starting with a single action airbrush, but I'd just go for it, it's not that hard.

    For decals, as has been mentioned, you must decal onto a gloss surface. Many of us airbrush Future Floor Polish. It's really a nice gloss, but you can use Testors gloss in the spray can, also. Finish with a coat of flat (again, Testors in the spray can). I think Tamiya has spray cans, also, but I'm not sure.

    If you have an IPMS club in your area, go there for in-person help, and maybe make some friends too. Maybe even someone there will let you try their airbrush.

    Keep building and ask us questions!

  9. The ME410 is a fun build. Mine is one of my favorite kits ever. I got lucky and my mottled paint job is terrific. The big downer is masking the canopy, but nothing to do but buckle down and do it.

  10. The aggressors kit comes with both intakes and exhausts. I built mine with the big mouth/GE, so if you need the small/Pratt, I'd be happy to swap you for a big intake/GE exhaust.

    you can PM me, or e-mail at kozlok1 "at sign" hotmail "dot" com

    I have some HARMS from my Hasegawa kits you can have as well.
