  1. Hello all, I am building a 1/32 F/A-18F Super Hornet. I am doing the 75th Anniversary Jolly Rogers scheme. I have been told they are painted in a TPS or Tactical Paint Scheme. I am being told they start out as two separate colors that fade together with time. My question is what specific colors do I use, and where on the jet do the colors go? Does anyone have any tips on how to apply this scheme? Is there a definite demarkation ect... I have done a lot of WWII planes and one Vietnam area Phantom but this is my first modern jet. I have looked all over for this info but cannot find specific ans
  2. I read some of your descriptions of what you did with some of the fit issues in this kit particularly where the fuselage parts meet. I also hate filler and would love to see what you did to solve these problems. Thanks Chris
  3. I am very interested in this build. I am currently working on this kit and I an running into some of the same problems. The problem is the photo are all washed out, probably because the thread is so old. Is there any way you can send them to me? Thanks
  4. Just picked up a 1/32 Tamiya F-16CJ and was contemplating purchasing an Aires cockpit for it. Does anyone have experience with the Aires cockpit for this kit? How much cutting of the kit parts is involved? How is the detail as compared to the kit parts? Does anyone have a set of instructions for it they wouldn't mind scanning in? Thanks
  5. Placed my order today. Thank you Chris for doing this project!
  6. Starting a build of Trumpeters F/A-18F and would like a canopy mask set. Eduard makes one for the E/A-18 Growler kit Trumpeter makes but it is not listed as compatible with the F/A-18F. From what I see the jets should have identical canopies. Does anyone know if I can use the Growler mask set for the F canopy? I know I could just mask it the old fashion way but I really like using the pre cut masks to save time. Thanks in advance.
  7. I am finishing up my 1/32 F-4J Showtime 100. During the mission Cunningham was carrying 4 Aim-9G sidewinders. The twobobs decal set I have shows an all white missile with natural metal forward fins and what appears to be a blue tip on the seeker. The problem I have is some of the online photos show the entire front end of the missile from the tip of the seeker to just behind the fins as some kind of dark metal. Can anyone tell me what the correct coloring of the missiles he was carrying would be?
  8. I would love to have a set of these!!!
  9. Does anyone have a set from the Academy or Tamiya kit they arent using?
  10. Does anyone know who makes a nice set of Aim-120 AARAMS that are still available?
  11. Just got some 1/32 Aim-9x and Aim-9gs from Zactomodels. They are absolutely awesome! Highly recommended.
  12. I am picking up some of Zactoman's Aim-9x sidewinders in 1/32 and I am looking for a nice set of decals to match them. Does anyone have any recommendations?
