    Looking at fuel line locations.

    Thanks, we are trying to figure the dimensions of the DSO table now, comparing photo's to the model floor. As @Dutch suggested, I am also going to put the fuel lines on. This will be interesting.
  3. You have to host it, then embed it. I use flickr and their share function. I'll PM you.
  4. Glad I am not the only one who had issues with the Hobby Lobby kit. Designed as a one time use kit, and not for use in small amounts. I made more then I needed, and threw the extra away. The resin was worse.

    @aircommando130 (or anyone else) Can you tell me what the pipe and hoses are? Pipe under the red arrow, and the hoses by the other two arrows. Thanks

    Haven't decided yet. I need a good picture showing the plumbing, and I need to see how much (if any) can be seen through via the ramp. I was thinking styrene, but I like your copper wire idea better. Playing with the fit. View from the ramp,
  7. I had 3D decals come in earlier this week, no noticeable delays.

    @Dutch Getting there,

    Three (or was it four) test runs to get a passable stand. Not a lot of photos available. Some show an angled base, some show a base that is more of a rectangle. We went with the latter as the base will be hidden by the seats and DSO station. I have to do some sanding after Mass today, then start on the tank. My son uses TinkerCad for designing and an Ender Pro 5 printer. Still learning, there seems to be some shrinkage as the plastic cools, so getting the right size too a few runs.

    Had to free time so I finally finished the center-line seats an improvised crew bunk (stretcher). My son is currently 3-D printing my Benson tank and stand.
  11. EC-47 radio relay or SIGINT bird. I have photo's of the EC-47 that's on static display at Kelly Field if you go that route.
  12. Yeah, raised lines. Not real tall though. I will try to save them when sanding.
  13. Working on the F-9F that I got from @scorvi It'll be a semi-what if. I am going to use decals from last years IPMS Nationals in Omaha to make Lieutenant Royce Williams 4-kill jet. Officially credited with two (until recently) I will put 4 MiG kills on it (what if; as in,what if the Navy had been honest that day 😁)
  14. Yes the 9B's have winglets.. FWIW-they now have 4-bladed props, but I don't know of any aftermarket stuff for the Reaper. I grabbed the Kinetic kit last weekend, into the stash she goes.
  15. Glad you did well. I was busy until close, didn't get to walk the floor 😞 though my Hercules took 3rd place.
  16. I actually asked this question tonight. The answer I was given is that the F-22 has a higher service ceiling, and that's why they are being used.
  17. Fiinished the Atlantis Hercules SAM. Re-release of an old kit with lots of fit/flash issues. Dad was a Nxxx Crewmember, so I built this as a tribute to him. I'll get a base and mount his ribbons next to the missile, but am in no hurry to do so.
  18. I'll be setting up Friday night too, PM your info so we can meet.
  19. Three small parts left. (Not sure why two lines are running through the photo.). I have to drill a cylinder out so the piston will fit in, which is par for this kit. Not a fun kit
  20. Anyone going this weekend? I'll be working at the registration desk, so say howdy!
  21. FWIW-USNI says the pilot was a Guard guy. Yee Ha!
