  1. The 57th FIS F-102 was done with the superscale sheet. The markings are from the William Tell competition in '72 (I think), so it looks like the Orange over ADC grey was in fact correct. I'd be interested in seeing your photos, though (what year were they taken?) I'm going with Insignia Red for the F-89 because it's pre-'57.
  2. Insignia red is what I've seen people write down, but why doesn't it ever match the stripe in the stars and bars (the photo I posted is just an example, the F-102's look the same).
  3. I'm trying to figure out what color "arctic red" really is. Somewhere along the line, I decided to paint my F-102 (57th FIS, Keflavik) wing tips in Testor's "international orange" (FS12197) , but as time has gone on, I'm less convinced that was correct, and I'm thinking of going with insignia red for my in-progress F-89 (66th FIS). Anyone know for sure? One thing I found is this photo of an F-89 from Keflavic, and the red stripe in the Stars and Bars is definately not the same as the wing tips. Also, if anyone has a pic of an F-89 from the 66th FIS, I'd appreciate you sending me a co
  4. I sent you an e-mail through the ARC "send e-mail" feature, but no response from you, so I had assumed you'd been taken care of. I have several sets. Shoot me an e-mail or PM with your address and I'll get a set off to you. Kozlok
  5. AMTech were going to do an all-new super nice P-61. Since they are no-more, I don't know if anyone inherited their drawings or tooling. I gather they were pretty far along.
  6. A flawless trade across the pond with Pat. He was more than generous with his end of the trade. I hope he is as happy as I am.
  7. On that subject, what happened to AMTech? I know one of the founders was ill or something...Are they gone forever?
  8. In process pics of my VFA-103 Super Hornet I used the HobbyDecal dry transfers for most of it. They look great, but not as easy as water slide, that's for sure. Just need to add the last bits and pieces and put it with the Tomcats. I've never really done a panel line wash, but I've been wanting to try it. I really like the way it turned out. In person, it's more apparent than in the pic. My pics are big, so I linked to them. Pic 1 Pic 2
  9. I know it's not an airplane, but I built it anyway, and I ruined one of the big gray number decals for #411 (the same as the one on the front of the box). The kit number is 6264, and it's the recent Dragon Panzer IV E (the DAK version). If anyone has the kit and is building different markings, I'd appreciate selling/trading this decal to me. Thanks!
  10. There are only two good fixes. One is to close your eyes, spin around three times, and say "good enough for me". This is my preferred fix. Second is to dump it in the trash and build a Revell and/or Hasegawa. It seems to me that the market is ripe for a GOOD F-14 kit.
  11. Scooter Man (Tim Lingle) kept up his end of our trade. Sent the decals very quickly. Trade with confidence.
  12. Hard to do better than trading with doctorpepper. He helped me out with decals that I needed. Hard to call it a "trade" though, as he sent me decals, and didn't want anything in return. Many thanks!
  13. Brian is a gentleman and an excellent trader. He always trys hard to do everything he can to deal honestly and fairly with everyone. Not a bad trader in my book.
  14. I understand your problem, Brian. Don't let them get you down. Make sure you just keep getting those references to Bob! Good luck to you.
  15. David Aungst is your friend: http://204.50.25.179/features01/f14constructiondwa_3.htm
  16. Jim is always giving a helping hand. Highly appreciated!
  17. Just try to punch him in the friggin head. If he's a real Seal, you will most probably miss. If he's not, you will punish him for his lies. Meathook to the head!
  18. Too late for that, it's practically done. Decals are on and everything. I really should think of these things before hand.
  19. If your willing to go Luftwaffe, the Revell Pro Modeler Me-410 is a nice build. It's one of 3 non-allied planes on my shelf, and I really am fond of it. (I like my Mosquito just as much, though). Only downside to this kit is the pilot figures have really tiny heads. Weird looking.
  20. I built my 1/48 Hasegawa F-18F with the idea of keeping it clean (no pylons), so I didn't drill out the locating holes. I've changed my mind, and want to add all the pylons. Does anyone have a picture of the underside of their Hase SuperHornet wings with the holes drilled but no pylons mounted yet? That way I can drill the holes in the correct location.
  21. Make sure you tell the wife you did this. With the Holiday cookie making season approaching....could be very bad...
  22. I received decals from Bill today. I'd forgotten about the deal...it's been awhile, but hey, they're only decals. Once I got them, I remembered...Nice Michigan A-10's and VFA-22 A-4's. Hopefully Bill can repair whatever sour relations he may have, it's just a hobby, no sense getting all worked up folks. That's all I have to say about that.
  23. That is very nice Can you tell us how you apply the glue? I tried this and alway end up with brush strokes remaining in the glue (I used MicroMetal adhesive which is supposed to be especially for this). Of course, I'll never get a great finish because I have 3 dogs and 4 cats. Hair everywhere.
  24. The Omars are hard to find. I just picked up mind off e-bay after looking for a few months. Don't know about the Angels decals
  25. I use a small paintbrush and apply it slowly, in a couple of coats and sometimes I can get a perfect seam with no sanding after
