I built this one 7 or 8 years ago from the Hasegawa kit. I used the full conversion from IsraDecal.

Totally disappointed with the resin but the decals were great.

Can I ask what the problems were with the resin?

[Did the F-8 and F-105 carry the Mk 82 Snakeyes?]

Did the F-8 and F-105 carry the Mk 82 Snakeyes, and if they did was that the norm or exception?  Does anybody know when they were rolled out, or the year that differentiates the “early” and “late” airbrake fins.  The reason I am asking is because I am looking at the ones for sale on the Eduard site and am trying to decide if I should just get the standard Mk 82’s or not.  I searched the web and could not find definitive info or pictures.  Thank you.

WTB:  Fightertown Jolly Rogers decals set #48073 F-14.  I know this is a longshot, but I’m hoping somebody may have a full or partial said they don’t need anymore. I can pay with PayPal.

 

Thank you, Jeff

[Best books on the F-14]

Thank you guys, you gave me some really great leads and I appreciate it.  I will have to start saving my money!

Viper, you are correct, it is the C.  Thank you for the information.

[Can I convert a Tamiya F-16 to a Barak?]

Can I convert a Tamiya F-16 to an Israeli Barak?  I have the Tamiya F-16D 25/32.  I also already have the Skunkmodels IDF weapon sets.  I can get the larger intake from the block 50 set. My main concern are the wingtip mounted missiles. Does anybody know how I could mount them, or is this even an issue?

 

 Thank you, Jeff

[Best books on the F-14]

Can anybody tell me what the best modeling reference books there are for the F-14. I am interested in color photos and color schemes including color plates. The only reason I am asking is because I went a little overboard (and over budget) trying to find good B-52 books and I don’t want to go there again.

 

Thank you, Jeff
