Another Internet Website is reporting this subject will be released in 3rd QTR of 2022. It will be a Combo kit with an OV-10A to boot!
Anyone that wants another OV-10, I'll be most happy to trade it for the Cobra!! LOL!!

I would rather see a 1:48th scale [1:32nd too] F-86H instead of another F-86E
Another E????? Where's the first 48th E Model???
I think you mean F Model!!

Stop screwing around and make a Tamiya quality 48th scale F-86E Saber!!! Nobody has made a leading edge slats Saber so you'll be the FIRST!!
Just do it!!

My wife and I had already cancelled our plans to attend this year out of concerns for the pandemic. A moot point now, as we both have Covid-19 and are quarantined until at least early July.

Your case appears to be the vast majority of those that have it. Case Numbers HAVE risen in Texas; but, just yesterday news reported that hospitals are discharging patients faster due to mild or no symptoms and Critical Care facilities patients are down from earlier highs. (Hospitals lost a BOAT Load early on due to halt of test and elective surgeries and may just be trying to recover a bit???)
Anyway, I plan to go and will take precautions, like wearing mask indoors and washing my hand frequently!! AND, I won't be French kissing anyone either!! LOL!!! I've knuckle bumped for 15 yrs or longer and haven't even had a cold in that time!! Hands are the easiest way to spread germs!!
C U Thar!!

Beautiful build.
one a side note, what was the general cost for the custom decals? I have a few projects in the stash that will need some custom work.

Mine was one color, black. Tail / Fuselage Number and WEBB above Badge. IIRC, around $50. (Gave me enuff for 8 aircraft!!)

Thanks.
This is how I remember these birds in 1958 when I was about 14 yrs old. I recall the Anti-Glare Green as being an obvious Green color, not OD. Yes, I was a modeler even then. Training aircraft were well maintained.

From my hometown AFB Webb, this T-Bird crash landed at Webb in May '58. Had photos of crash site.
Decals were Custom Made by Bedlam Creations. (Extremely clear decal film.)
Comments?

It's in their catalog as 'New', yet it's not being listed or discussed by anyone??? The early version was the standard for Vietnam until the Charlie Model came along. The C Model made the CH-54 Skycrane obsolete. Anyway, I'll like to see an early Chinook.

What COVID? Thought it was gone since the media stopped talking about it.
AKA 'Scamdemic'!! 1 to two weeks we'll know. Either there will be a Boat Load of sick and dying demonstrators, or we've been had by WHO and CDC, or both!! I pick the later!!

The Embassy Suite Hotel is all sold out, soooo, someone is planning to go. I just now Pre-Registered and will find other another place to lay my little punkin' head.

Who all is planning to go?? I haven't been to a Nationals in awhile and this one is pretty close. Just hope there isn't a upswing in CV-19 cases that would cause it to be cancelled.
CU Thar???

Planning to build the 48th Memphis Belle, soon, and started looking for canopy mask. Ha!! None that I can find!! Looked at Eduard, Montex and EZ Mask. Plenty for the G Model; but, none for the Foxtrot Model!! Should be able to use some of the G mask, ....... I hope. Otherwise, back to the 'old fashion' way.
Know of any, all y'all??

What seems to be the problems? Dai
On my build, the nose cone was undersized compared to the fuselage. During dry fitting, I noticed that step present, so during assembly, used a sanding stick to ensure no plastic bits were left to keep the major two-piece fuselage from fitting snug together!! Nothing is worst than a prominent part with a step!! Did manage to sand and file down the fuselage so that step isn't, hopefully, too visible. About ready to shoot final coat of NMF, so we'll see.

The GWH kit is better; BUT, I'm currently building this kit and wish I had the Academy one. The GWH kit will NOT be a simply build.
My 2 cents worth, if that.

Ur NOT the only one that's done the same! Forum design is lacking as one is right below the other. Gotta pay attentions where cursor is. I've missed that mark, too.

I have two plastic files, one for US and one All others. Inside those plastic files, I have manila folders marked with Nation/Service and era on each. Then file decals, in Mfgrs original sleeve, accordingly. BTW, I keep those files inside my climate controlled home. I have some VERY old decal sheets and they like new.

Seems like a 'duplication of effort'. What's wrong with this one???
Now ARC itself seems to have faded away. No updates since 13 DEC!!
