  1. I tried building one a few years ago and gave up - and that's says a lot for me. There was something terribly wrong with the cockpit on mine and it was unfixable. Found a Hasegawa A model on eBay and finished that right quick. The Esci kit is in a landfill. Hase is reissuing the A model kit, so you may want to go that route.

  2. YES! But I broke down and recently purchased a resin Anigrand C-141 for my Vietnam collection. At first glance, the moldings look better than those I viewed years ago. Don't know if I lucked out or if they have better quality control now. But the lack of a good quality injection-molded 1/72 C-141 is still a disappointment. That and a good T-38, RF-8, F-86A, F-86E, C-124, C-133 . . . .🙄

    Beautiful!  Thank you Kursad!

     

    Would it be safe to assume that there will also be a corresponding sheet for the new Roden 1/144 KC-135R kit using many of the same bomb wing subdued artwork for the Shamu scheme?

     

    What was that old chewing gum advertisement with the cute twins? "Double your pleasure, double your fun!"

    Doublemint, Doublemint, Doublemint Gum!

  4. I have the 1/72 scale Model Aire International resin kit and it looks great in the box. I also have the 1/72 scale RVHP kit and it has decals for one in light gray with the white/dark gray cheat line and national insignia!

  5. Phantoms on Essex-class carriers might have caused fits with the deck crews since they didn't have regular operations on them. Not impossible, of course. They did carry heavier aircraft (Skywarriors), but the Essex-class CVAs were usually equipped with F-8s, A-1s and A-4s. I think only one or two of the old ships got A-7s before decommissioning. 

  6. And I have a request re: Orions. I have obtained a built Hase kit which is going to need a refinish. I hope to use an aftermarket sheet, but the main stumbling block is the stenciling with the curved wing walks. The built kit's wingwalks have yellowed badly and will need to be replaced. Will you be providing stencils and wing-walks with the new sheet?
