Great job so far! My dad was in the Air Force with a guy he went to high school and college with that retired as a Eastern L1011 captain. I was wearing my Eastern L-1011 t shirt yesterday too. Cheers...Ron

Yes...the 20mm vulcans were removed. The ECM blisters are off of a B-52.The searchlight aft of the 105mm gun was also removed and plated over. My favorite is still the AC-130E...20MM vulcans...40 mm and the 105. Painted in SEA paint on top and black sides and bottom. My old MC squadron (17th SOS) is now an AC-130J gunship squadron at Cannon Cheers...Ron

Gorgeous SBD! Cheers...Ron

Love it! Well worn and exhaust stained war horse! I'm sure it was a beautiful sight to the survivor on the ground waiting for the H-3's to come in for pickup. Cheers...Ron

The decal sheet prop tip colors are wrong as well. The MC/HC/AC-J the blade tips are a light gray color. Cheers...Ron

I loved flying on Eastern Airlines when I was young. 727's and Lockheed Electra's.

Some nice pictures! Thanks again for sharing! Hope you get to feeling better Cheers...Ron

Never too many! Some great builds! Thanks for sharing.... Cheers...Ron

1/48 B-24D "Lady Be Good" The old girl has a tragic history but all but one crewmember was found and returned home and parts of her are in the AF Museum. Cheers...Ron

You could build the 37mm with Jane Fonda sitting on it! Cheers...Ron

That's awesome! Love the faded center of the panels! Cheers...Ron

64-14858 was a "catch a falling star" airplane at Hickam during the Corona program. It went on to become a MC-130P Combat Shadow with the 17th SOS at Kadena. I have a lot of time in that old girl. Cheers...Ron

HC-130 from the 33rd rescue squadron at Kadena supported the splashdowns in the Pacific. C-141A transported equipment and brought the Gemini/Apollo crews back to Houston from Hickham AFB. Cheers...Ron

That's awesome! The build...the base and blurred runway are really giving it the rolling look. The piece of wreckage really adds to the intrigue of the model. Great job! Cheers...Ron

She's looking good! A bit wrinkleybut aren't we all that were born in the 50's! A Lt. pilot and I were talking the other day and he said the B-52 was big. I told him when we'd we'd fly into Guam and park the C-5 you could watch the old D model BUFF's roll down the runway in a cloud of black smoke and disappear off the cliff to be seen a minute or so later climbing up to go fly. When my dad was at Edwards when I was a young guy I'd watch the B-52 taxi out with the X-15 under it's wing. Cheers...Ron

That's awesome! Texas guard 101's are my favorite too! Cheers...Ron

Happy 4th of July! Today is the anniversary of the Israeli Air Force raid on Entebbe to rescue the hostages of the hijacked Air France airliner. The C-130's finest hour! Probably less than a year later I was parked on that same ramp in Nairobi, Kenya to offload 8 brand new F-5E Tiger II fighters the Kenyan AF bought. Cheers...Ron

That's awesome! I want one!

Love it! Phabulous Phantom! Cheers...Ron

Nice! I remember seeing the old Southern Air L-100-30's flying doing the same thing. Love the Hercules! Cheers...Ron

I just ordered the Caracal decals for a Texas ANG 101! Great job so far! Cheers...Ron

The Voodoo is looking good! Who makes the EA-6B in the picture? That's a good lookin model too. Cheers...Ron

I vote for a AC-130E as well...20mm x 2 / 40mm x 1/ 105mm x 1 In the SEA paint assigned to the 16th SOS in Thailand. Or...overall gunship gray at Hurlburt Field, Fl. The J gunship is pretty cool though. I walked through one here at Kirtland. Cheers...Ron

Awesome! I like NASA aircraft! Great job Cheers...Ron

Change 1...not the predator but the reaper drone.....
