Noted. Thank you all for your input. Looks like I have a path forward. Just sucks ZM doesn't offer a solid USMC bomb truck option for a straight OOB build.

oh dang, that'll do

thank you, I tried looking for this and failed miserably. Seems they never intended for a centerline pylon for a bomb rack

Thank you for your response. The Hase weapon kit A comes with MERs and TERs, but i question the mounting hardware between the TER and the pylon for the wing stations and the fact it has no pylon for the MER for the centerline station. It looks like any of these TERs should be fine, but I question the MER for centerline

Hey All, I wanna do one of the Zoukei Mura F-4Js as a Marine bird with TERs on the wings and a centerline MER. I've read on here and elsewhere that the ZM Phantom is amazing, but only providing sparrows and sidewinder doesn't work for me. Bombs are easy enough with a Hase weapons kit. However, I'm struggling to find any source for aftermarket MERs or TERs for the ZM kit, though. I figured one of y'all might be able to point me in the correct direction. Thanks in advance. Jack

yeah, the duraluminum does not resist water at all... accidentally dropped water on a painted surface and had to completely repaint the section I may have just gotten a bad batch of that color, who knows

On the plane, at least overnight. On my test subjects, I sprayed it then used a blow dryer on medium heat for a few minutes

Ladies and gentlement, I request your collective wisdom. I'm in the painting process of a P-51 in NMF. I used Mission Models Duraluminum(MMM-005) as the metallic. I then tried to use Alclad Aquagloss as the gloss coat so I can start decaling. The problem I ran into was that the Aquagloss crazed and cracked. Looking for a solution, I took a piece of styrene card. I primed it with my usual Grey Stynylrez then painted it with Mission Models Duraluminum (MMM-005). I then tried a bunch of different combos of Vallejo Acrylic Gloss Clear, Mission Models Gloss Clear, and Aquaglos

Fayetteville was a little far from where I grew up so I never really went there. But if Hayes Hobby House is as good as they say it may warrant a visit.

I guess Amazon is gonna be my goto for kits and the Mission Models Paint that I've fallen in love with, after the move, then. I've been spoiled with a few pretty good hobby shops here in Los Angeles, while I've been here.

So, I just took a new job which will bring me home to NC. I'll be in the triangle area. What are some good LHS's in the area?

Are you in the US? If so, I highly recommend Coast Airbrush in Anaheim.. Excellent customer service with fast shipping and decent prices.

I think the Meng M1A1 AIM kit(TS-032) is amazing. Edit: Sorry for resurrecting a year dead thread....but I'm building this one now and the thing fits together beautifully, has a fully functional suspension with torsion bars and is incredibly accurate.

I thought the instrument panels were different.

I already bought the GWH F-15K, but what needs to change from the F-15I to make it an F-15E?
