  1. I rather enjoyed the text at the top of the photo. Very "old school" Navy. You would get a non-punitive letter of caution for that in some circles these days.
  2. Does this offer extend to the EA-18G? I can get you some of those.
  3. Thank you. Now off to find the kit!
  4. Thanks Dave. It will be a Tyndall jet sans CFTs. Does either kit come with the antenna in the box as say, an unused part or is this something I'll need to rob from a different kit or scratch build? Thanks again. Mike
  5. Hi all, I'll keep this short: Can you build an accurate US F-15D from the Hasegawa DJ kit? Does the Hasegawa F-15J/DJ kit come with both single and 2 seat options? If they are not easily converted with a paint and decal swap, what is necessary to make the JSDF version into a US version? Last question, I promise: Can you use the Hasegawa Strike Eagle kit to build a D? Thanks in advance for the help! Mike
  6. Nice Bearcat! You've inspired me to finally get off my rump and finish my 48th scale Bearcat.
  7. Awesome. I think you truly captured the essence of a bad day....nose gear fails or fails to extend, no paddles on station and the guy missed the gear, the nose falling through after the parachute is deployed means he's not gonna catch the over run and into the dirt goes the hun. I like it!
  8. Having lived in several uniquely different places in the United States (VA, WV, SC, FL, and WA) I would concur that we generally associate as American first. I've also found in my interactions with people from across the country that people also identify with regions. These areas could be as large as the Midwest or as localized as a city block in Brooklyn. It helps us identify ourselves and others. When we meet people, one of the early topics of conversation is usually "Where are you from?" Sometimes a vague answer suffices to build the picture you intend and sometimes you need to be spec
  9. Waaaaay better than my first build. Nice job.
  10. I try to build accurate models. Perfect? Certainly not, but I strive for it. I think all type A people strive for it. I'll add aftermarket if it's something that seems vital to the success of the finished model. For me this includes things like ejection seats (Hasegawa is particularly bad about those), decal cockpits will always drive me to purchase a resin replacement, seams in the intake result in seamless suckers or Steel Beach intake and exhaust covers, bad looking exhaust nozzles, flat tires, and sub-par weapons will all be addressed in some way. If someone invents extended gear
  11. Looks fantastic! Where did you get the LAUs for the AMRAAMs? I want to do something similar with one of my Rhinos. Cheers, SCAB
  12. Great looking Hoov Collin! I don't know about you but building your own platform proves to be exceedingly difficult for me. I thought that I had AMS until I started trying to build a Prowler, then it was obvious that it was only accelerated every time I look at that box. Perhaps now that I've moved on to the Growler, that stack of Prowlers in my stash will start to dwindle. In four years I've managed to sand off the armor plates, scratch build an ICAP III cockpit and get disgusted every time that it's not perfect. If your S-3 is a "3 foot model" then I clearly need to get over my fear.
  13. Is there still a plan to produce this second sheet with the Pensacola based T-6A (F tail code)? Given the success of your last T-6 sheet, I think it will sell. You can mark me down for 2!
