Disregard my previous post Dutch..... it's a 737-330. I guess I'm safe until someone comes out with a kit in 1/72nd scale too 🤣 Fred.

Hey Dutch! What make is that CATB 737? If decal ever got done for it, I'd be all over it if it were a 700/800. Thanks, Fred.

PM sent as well.

I couldn't agree more. Fred.

Damn you Dutch! Why do you have to be like that 🤣🤣 I love it! 👍 Fred.

Hi everyone, I've had a couple of parts go missing from a couple of different in progress kits recently. I need part number H25 from the AFV 48th F-5E/F kit and part number D9 from the 32nd Hasegawa TA-4J or A-4E kit. As you can see, both parts attach to the nose gear legs, so if some has built their kit with the gear up and can spare the parts, I'd be most grateful. I can also trade if there's something you need. I'm in the US. Thanks, Fred K.

Nine more months Jost, and it will be my turn 👍 Fred.

How you build these big kits so fast is beyond me Jost 🤣 I'd be lucky to finish one in a year! It looks great 👍 Fred.

Mine would be a 72nd Monogram A-1E Skyraider circa 1973. Second up would be a trio of 32nd Hasegawa TA-4Js from 1981. Fred K.

Hi guys, I need a good close up pic of it if anyone has one. I've got some pics of aircraft from the side, and also some inflights that obviously have it, but nothing up close. A web search turns up nothing. Thanks, Fred.

Hi everyone, I've got an old Sword 48th T-38A kit that I've got an itch to build. One of the scheme's that I'm interested in is pictured below. The scheme is basically the USAF aggressor "Old Lizard" scheme, but in two blues, instead of tan and brown. The aircraft as pictured was with one of the Holloman training units at the time. However it was previously with the 64th FWS as an aggressor, and I have pictures of it in the "Old Ghost" scheme as an actual aggressor. My question is: Does anyone have any pics of this jet in this two blue scheme when it was with the 64th FWS? Or did it

You're welcome, and do upload the pics 👍 Fred.

Hi F16CC, Yes, very much good times indeed! I always liked the 425th TFTS and wish that I had gotten out to shoot them more than just the one time. I did see the F-5B, and and F-5E in the "brown" Flogger scheme, but was unable to shoot them. Interestingly enough, several of the 425th F-5E/F's ended up in aggressor service with the 64th and 65th AS at Nellis, and then got sent back to the 425th some time later, which is likely how several ended up in camo jobs. This would not apply to the B's though, as they were never used as aggressors in the USAF. At some point I'll build the

I sure do miss those guys! I managed to get out on their ramp for pics one time back in 1983, just before they got rid of their F-5Bs. One of them was in the USAF aggressors "New Blue" scheme, and looked great! Shortly thereafter it went to Turkey, but still retained the same paint scheme. Good memories! Fred.
