  1. OV-10G, and OV-10G+ had 4 blades. State Department Air Wing in Colombia had 4 blades. USSOCOM OV-10 deployment birds had 4-blades. I got to find my photos.
  2. I started with a new kit. The BAM pieces dropped in with minimal work. I'll post pics in a bit.
  3. White box version came into one of my local stores. Great quality again. Little pricey for me (retail version is going to go for $115.00), but a nice kit.
  4. I missed your talk in San Marcos (conflicting meetings). Will you have the chance to give it again in Madison?
  5. Search the site for Eldorado Canyon, there is a youtube link in a thread that should give you the answers you seek.
  6. My A-10 arrived, looks legit, we'll see when I start building it.
  7. Finished last Friday Revell/Monogram F-9F-5 Panther. I used kit decals and the 2022 IPMS National decal sheet. I built it as the Royce William replacement jet, with two MiG kill markings. Sadly, it's a tail sitter. I filled the nose in with bb's but that wasn't enough.
  8. Are these resin or plastic parts? Best way to attach to a plastic part? CA or normal glue?
  9. Looks like a Squadron a year for transition?
  10. They found the wreckage, so no surprise.
  11. Decals are done, clear coated; four small paint touch ups and the landing gear. I can see the finish line. Original plan was to put all 4 kills on it, but I only had two white MiG silhouettes, I'll add the last two at a later date. So this is marked as his replacement jet.
  12. Building in spurts. I messed the first decals (stripe over the nose) up and had to wait in a replacement sheet. Looking at the decal I figured out that the nose stripe is slightly long between gun port cutouts. So I cut the front section off and applied it to the plane. I used an exacto knife to make small slits which allowed the decal to wrap around the nose. I'll put the rest of the stripe on in a day or so. I also have the wings done, and am working on the fuselage decals. The reference sheet showed
  13. Pulled the trigger, let's see.
  14. Thanks, they were advertising an Academy A-10C for $35.00 and free shipping.
  15. My gmail feed had an ad from Ali Express for models at very low prices. (Academy A-10 for $35.00 for example) I never heard of Ali Express, a little digging tells me it's a Chinese Company. Are these legitimate models? Chinese knockoffs?
  16. I assume you are talking about parts D-1 and C-12 (x2)? I'll look tomorrow for them. Where are you located?
  17. AF just released a graphic showing most (all?) testing essentially complete. Lot 1B aircraft delivered in a few weeks and a production decision made soon after.
  18. I am going with the ALQ-119. Mississippi Air Guard with SEA wrap around scheme. The ResKit ALQ-119 arrived yesterday, so I can finish this in a week or so.
  19. Many thanks to all who have answered my questions. I am waiting on a part from ResKit then I can get this one knocked out.
  20. I'll add the PayPal fee, and let them know. Worked so far.
