It most definitely will be nice for this kit! I've had those in my stash since they came out and can't wait for Kursad to release some of the other B-52 sets. Hopefully we will be getting some more B-52 variants from GWH soon.

I just ordered one of these from Sprue Brothers. I surprised we haven't seen more post about them. Has anyone seen a build article about them?

Just to throw my hat in the ring, but I also would love to see some more 1/144 C-130 set, especially the ANG set. Hopefully they will make it into the queue at some point.

Thanks guys!

Thanks for that link!

I noticed it on the E-2D and that it appears to be something added on the C' with the Hawkeye 2000 update, but couldn't find out what it was. I know one of the 1/72 Hasegawa kits has it in it and was just curious of what it did.

Thanks Dutch!

What is this round sensor on the bottom of late E-2C and I believe the E-2D have as well? I'm curious of what it is. https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Navy/Grumman-E-2C-Hawkeye-2000-G-123/4278625?qsp=eJwtjDEOwkAMBL%2BCXEMDiCIdfAAKPmDZKxIRuJNtKZyi/J27QLc7u5qZJL0Dn7iXDOrIwSY9bSmz8cupm%2BmJMiXTmgm7/abnqRLUiyeLS6lYOXAWQQ7on19NYW2Cy2p7NPuxRdjt1w6nWnXwPPJqQfAw0rJ8AY9/MLQ%3D

Thanks for the comments everyone! One of the first Skyhawks I ever did was a "Blacksheep" as well. I do love those markings.

Thanks for noticing the little things! I tried to get all the little details on there that you notice when looking at the real thing.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

This is 1 of 3 Fujimi A-4 kits that I just wrapped up. I did this one in the Markings of VMA-214 in High Viz using the kit decals. They worked well and I didn't have any issues with them. I was trying to find some other squadrons in High Viz, but didn't find any that I wanted to do. The Fujimi kits are great and still hold up well. I did scratch some items such as redoing the ECM blisters in some spots and creating sway brackets along with some other items. I also added the following: Quickboost Ejection Seat Quickboost Wheels Quickboost Exhaust Attack Ho

This is 1 of 3 Fujimi A-4 kits that I just wrapped up. I did this one in the Markings of H&MS-12 in Lo Viz. I had issues trying to get the grey paint and decals to work the way I wanted them to. You can read about that in this thread: So I used the Furball decals and a mix of other ones that I could find I did have to overspray some of the decals to help them blend in a little better.

This is 1 of 3 Fujimi A-4 kits that I just wrapped up. I was originally going to do the marking as VMA-131, but I couldn't get the grey and the decals to work out the way I wanted. You can read about that in this thread: So I used the Furball decals and a mix of other ones that I could find and masked off and painted the tail code. Luckily this was one of the jets I was thinking about doing. The Fujimi kits are great and still hold up well.

Here is the finished kit. I never got the decals and paint to work out the way I wanted so I had to use the lightest shade of grey for most of the markings. I also had to overspray the darker decals against the 36375 to lighten them down a little bit. Luckily on the real aircraft the Bulldog decal appeared to be against a repainted area that seemed a little more blue, so I was able to do that and have that decal show up. In the end I am happy with the results, but just took more effort than I expected. I'll post more photo's over in the completed build section.

That's great to hear. I have a couple of EA-3's that I would like to do and if you produce these I would be happy to get a couple sets. Ron
