I like that the E's skull and bones has a patch over one eye! I guess single seat compared to double
-
Great to hear! Now I can order a kit knowing that there will be something good to put on it.
-
I just dug out my old Paragon sets, I have both the A and the D ones and I don't have tanks in either one, so I don't know if it didn't include them or some sets didn't have them.

Reviving this old thread. I have both ICM 1/48 and 1/72 OV-10 kits and want to do a USAF plane. These kits do not include the USAF 230-gal tank either. Does anyone make these in either scale. I know Jim mention the old Paragon conversion had one, but I don't know if these have been done by anyone else, that would be available. If not, maybe we can get someone like Phase Hanger to do them in 48th or Air-Graphics in 72. Thanks, Ron

Cool! I like something besides the Thunderbirds. They had the South Dakota ANG fly over for the road course there a week ago with the heritage bird leading.

Thanks for the update Darren. I knew you had not put out anything new, but couldn't remember if you were busy with school and such. Hope you are still finding time to build though. Ron
-
That's what I was thinking as well, but couldn't recall for sure and I know Darren was pretty busy
-
I know this is an old thread, but wanted to see if you are doing anymore of these sets for the ERA Darren? I'm thinking about getting the Trumpeter kit, but wanted to check first. Thanks, Ron

I wish you could find these Kittyhawk kits! Hopefully it sounds like this company Storm Factory maybe picked up Kittyhawks molds with there release of the 1/32 F-5E/F and will release the UH-1N again. I didn't get in on those kits the first time.

I see these listed on Air-Graphics website, but out of stock currently. I think they are a new item from them, but am not sure. https://air-graphics.uk/shop/ols/products/ac-412-cfm-56-engine-set-4-engines

Modern warfare-drones are boring for modeling
RCarlson replied to DarkKnight's topic in General Discussion
The nice thing I find with them from a modeling perspective is that they a easier and go together quick. I usually don't get much modeling done in the summer months and when winter comes and I have time and it usually takes a bit to get my modeling mojo back up and running, a drone is a nice way to get back into it. They are quick and in a weekend or two you have a finished kit and ready to go on a bigger project. Ron -
Hey Kursad! Is there any chance that this Dark Vark sheet will be scaled down soon? I would love to see it get done. Thanks
-
I just saw this on Aeroscale https://aeroscale.net/news/mirage-ivp-with-asmp-missile-february-release Is this a new kit or did A & A release one before. I'm not familiar with there stuff, are they not so great?

I too prefer to use my reference books while building. I usually grab my topic specific ones when I'm working and use those more than the internet. I like to go back through these older titles and look for aircraft I haven't seen in awhile. I hadn't gone back through some of these older Osprey titles in a bit and forgot how nice they are. Even just some of the old non-specific aircraft books from the 80's and 90's and how nice it is to see some of these lesser publicized aircraft.
-
Thanks Kursad! I was thinking of just using some 1/72 Azerbaijian decals, but even those are too big, so if you are ever looking to do a Basics sheet maybe the TB2 and the countries that are buying them would be a good sheet. Just saying.
-
So a few weeks back I pulled some old copies of some of these titles out and was looking through them again. I forgot how nice these books were and some of the excellent photos inside. It was a time capsule for seeing some of these retired planes or just older paint jobs and squadrons that are gone now. I was looking to see if I had any with Canadian CF-5's since I was thinking of starting on one. I didn't have the book that was about Cold Lake so I looked on eBay and found this one along with some of the older titles and some of them were only a few bucks. I picked up a few and just wanted to

Hey all, I just got the 1/48 Black Dog kit for the TB2...as a side question, does Black Dog have instruction somewhere online? I've got other sets from them and never have I seen instructions or parts breakdown. I can probably figure it out, but was just wondering. My real question is about the actual drones. I will probably make a Ukrainian one, but was also thinking of doing an Azerbaijian one. My question is if anyone knows if there is different engine variants? It's hard to find pictures of an Azerbaijian one during the war with Armenia, but the pictures I have found show then

That is great news Jim and congratulation on your first book. I will order one and wait patiently for it. Ron

Roden 1/144 RC-135V RIVET JOINT Build and Improvement
RCarlson replied to Dutch's topic in In-Progress Pics
Can wait to see how it turns out Dutch! Ron -
Just eyeballed from photo's. I think the Daco book had a shot of the bottom, but I would have to check again. Ron
