  1. SAC does/did make a metal gear set for the S-3. I've got one in the stash (and no, you can't have it).
  2. Link works now. The photo seems to show two complete clear sprues, but I can't tell on my tablet if both canopies are there. It would make sense for both to be there.
  3. There is quite a bit of aftermarket for the S-3 in 1/48. I've got a set of "Early" Fan/Inlet set from Sierra Hotel Models and a metal Scale Aircraft Conversions landing gear set. I don't know that metal is needed, but as I'm adding a resin cockpit, I thought it couldn't hurt (plus I got a good deal oneBay). I also have the True Details Cockpit Set for the S-3B that I think was originally from KMC. Someone also makes a new Sonobuoy Launcher section replacement that has the mods of the S-3B belly area that the S-3B had. You may need to do some searching on your favorite vendors' site(s), but the
  4. Outstanding, Boz, thanks for sharing.
  5. Thanks for the info, Bobo. I did notice that when I went to your albums that the information was there. Sorry… I'd love to see the A-1.
  6. Very nice, Boz. What scale are these?
  7. Wow, some great work, guys. Zero completions for me this year, unfortunately. Looks almost like the Tamiya Tomcat would get Model of the Year awards from ARC members. Bobo, please include manufacturer and scale on your photos. You've got some really nice models there.
  8. I think Mike West of Lonestar is taking suggestions, it may be worth eMailing hime and requesting that he do these. Although, if he doesn't see a real market for them, he may not be willing to do them.

    Wow! That's very nice work. The PC-21 looks like it's going fast just sitting there! What model and scale, please. I wish there were more Pilatus aircraft available in 1/48.
  10. Wasn't the Sensor Operator's area done in that tan/cream color?
  11. postimage.org is a good photo site as well. Easy to use and uploads pretty quickly.

    Unless you pay Photobucket for a subscription, you can't post your photos online.
  13. Definitely not the Revell/Monogram/ProModeler kit. Accurate Miniatures also released a variant of the later kit.
  14. Check at Lonestar Models for Cobra Company sets: http://www.lonestarmodels.com The OV-1 set isn't in production, but if Cobra Company did one, it may be worth contacting Mike West at Lonestar.
  15. To me the interior of that gear door looks more like Yellow Zinc Chromate (untinted ZC) than Interior Green.
  16. They aren't ejection seats per se, the F-111 used an escape module instead of two individual ejection seats.
  17. I'm not really keen on assembling individual cylinders to a crankcase, so I'm wondering if anyone has tried to fit the Quickboost FM-2 engine into the Vector cowl? I was able to get the engine done properly on my Czech Models Fireball, hence my hesitation... I will if I have to, but if I can get away with not doing it…
  18. Mike Belcher of "Belcher Bits" has a nice early Naval Lynx conversion. The decals are very nice, too (you get two identical sheets). http://www.belcherbits.com/lines/148conv/bb35.htm#
  19. Hopefully these photos from the 1992-93 timeframe will help: https://postimg.org/gallery/q8u1qkx8/5c4a943b/ Some examples:
  20. Not even Azur or MPM have tackled that in 1/48. IIRC, even designs from other companies had a similar, um look, or lack thereof...
