That's a great Tomcat collection. You need one more
A model in the gray/white VF-1 markings. An excuse to build
another one...LOL!

Just got word those bricks on the flap tracks dont get cut, they get shaved to fit. In case anyone decides to get a set for themselves...
My flap/slat set arrived today! Golly that's a lot of intimidating stuff in the box!

Just gonna parrot others...
That is an incredible level of work!
How are yo going to get the gear to retract after the 'fuse is closed up.
Probably put the gear handle "up"....LOL!

Maybe sprinkle in some talcum powder to the white paint while it's wet.
The first coat of Spraylet is black. then the white is applied over that.

I picked up a J-30 and will build it as a Southwest Airlines Cargo LM100-30J 'what if".
I have 2 of the C-130H's as well. That new Blue Angels J is gorgeous! It's a former RAF
C-130J.

That is awesome! My dad was stationed at Edwards from 1958-1964 so I got to see the
B-52/X-15 taxi out and go in all the black smoke and a couple times he took me and my
sister out to watch it "slide back home" on the lake bed. Was a great time to be a young
fella loving aviation.
Cheers...Ron

That cockpit is awesome! As is your bomb bay! The Metallic Details
B-1B nose radome came today. I want that extended flap/slat set too.
Cheers....Ron

Awesome collection of Hornets!!

That's awesome! Faded and worn paint looks very real. I have the 32nd scale
version from Hasegawa to build.
Cheers...Ron

Great looking Tornado! The RAF did a great job against the Iraqi's during
Desert Storm. Only thing I see missing is the soot on the tail from the
reverse buckets being open on landing. Great job!
Cheers...Ron

My 72ns scale SRB aft skirts came today. All I can say is WOW!
Cheers....Ron

That's good to know. I have the cutting edge 48th set and I didn't like having to
cut so much from the fuselage. I have decals for "Dave's Dream"...the Operation Crossroads
bomb dropper from Kwajalein.
Cheers...Ron

Has Zvezda announced other boxings of it? Most of the special operations C-130J (versions) have the short fuselages.
The MC-130J / AC-130J is a standard length C-130.
I hope they release a AC-130H/MC-130E conversion.
Cheers...Ron

Wow! Awesome paint and burned paint effects!
Cheers...Ron

That's gonna be awesome! One change though....NAVY=RIO/ Air Force=WSO
Are you painting it up in Southeast Asia paint or the gray?
Cheers...Ron

WOW! I hear the music from "12 O'clock High" in my head looking at all those details!
Awesomeness! Gen. Savage will want to pin a medal on you! Great job!
Cheers...Ron

Gorgeous! VF-41 and the old early VF-1 are my two favorite Tomcat squadrons.
Cheers...Ron

The new Blue Angels C-130J was a ex RAF J. It has the standard C-130H cargo compartment
Legacy rails and rollers. It's a beautiful paint job though! I have the Zvezda "H" and just got the
J-30 kit. Both are really nice kits! Gonna build the H as a C-130E in southeast asia paint. The
J-30 as a Southwest Airlines "what if" cargo hauler.

I thought the KC-10 was extremely good looking in the white top/blue
paint scheme. The C-5/C-141 were good looking jets in the gray/white
paint scheme too. Have some time under the KC-10 boom in the old
C-5A when they were both painted up nice!
Cheers and Happy New Year!
