  1. nicely done! :) I'm awaiting my order to come in.. I made a purchase on Nov 25th but it never showed, trying to get a refund. :( Put in another order with another retailer a couple weeks ago.. maybe this time.
  2. it was No. 3 in a group of 4 Intruders from the Saratoga, dropping cluster bombs I believe over an airfield. It was a low-level night attack, no.2 (with Lts. Zaun and Wetzel) was shot down. no 3 diverted to Saudi Arabia. After this mission, the Navy generally quit low-level attacks..
  3. My condolences for the loss of your little girl; I hope you and your wife will be surrounded with the care and comfort of family and friends during this difficult time.
  4. The Force is weak with Star Trek ;)
  5. Academy 1:48 F-111F Aardvark Finemolds 1:72 TIE Figther Finemolds 1:72 TIE Advanced Finemolds 1:72 TIE Interceptor Finemolds 1:72 Y-Wing Bandai 1:72 Y-Wing Finemolds 1:72 X-Wing .. there's also a Bandai X-Wing but I don't have any pictures of it in my photobucket account. My usual build theme will be sidetracked by Star Wars for some time :)
  6. Excellent work as usual, will Anton and Koen post pics of their finished builds too?
  7. wow, great stuff, all awesome builds!
  8. nice! keep up the nice Star Wars work :)
  9. Personally, I am fine with these 1:72 kits; they look great and I like having all the other options in 1:72 (TIE interceptor, etc.). Also, they are more affordable to me. Given the retail price of the Revell Master Series 1:48 X-Wing, I'm definitely not buying one anytime soon. Budget modeling here I come! :)
  10. hey, what did I say about not putting this one into the fail pail?
  11. unfortunately, the availability of Star Wars kit options meant I had to go down to your scale ;)
  12. Well, The Finemolds kit is larger than the Bandai kit, different sizes make taking pics of em together a little more tricky. Also, I don't have the Finemolds kit anymore in my possession.
  13. Finemolds offering built as Gold 2 : and the Bandai 1:72 kit built as Gold 1 I'd say the Bandai kit is much sharper looking.
  14. this one better not make it into the fail pail! ;)
  15. cooll, looks like a nice sharp kit.
  16. wow, didn't expect this thread to be dug up :) ... yeah, this build is on indefinite hold. I'm still doing some Star Wars stuff and also got a F-5E in the works. Probably to be followed by a F-4G. Once my display case is full, I'll work on the B-52 again. At my rate, probably a year.
  17. the glass shelf is 18 inches wide, there is about 3 inches from the shelf to the glass doors. Just enough space to fit 7 models per shelf, except the Navy section where the wings are all folded and I can cram in more :)
  18. I airbrush with acrylics. With the standard FS numbers for an Aardvark, I used Gunze Sangyo Aqueous Hobby Colour for the two greens, and Model Master for the brown. The underside was Tamiya Black mixed with some grey. I doubt it, that's beyond my "good enough" look for me ;) ... unless "good enough" changes one day. Thanks for the compliments everyone :)
  19. Same with me, hence why I had been building DS birds for years. My display case for DS builds is nearly full so it will soon be time to move on to a different subject... My earlier builds aren't very good so I've decided to "redo" some of them. My goal to add a GR1 Tornado, F-4G, F-16C, and F-5E, into that display. Lately, I've been building 1:72 Star Wars.
  20. finally posted pics of this build ..
  21. This one has been sitting around for a while, some little changes I want to do but that won't happen for a while so it's "done" for now. Time to post pictures ...
  22. still some things I want to change, but this is the FM X-wing some extra sheet styrene glued on here and there ...
  23. Thanks Not much of a secret. Just take your sharp hobbyknife and gently press along the panel line you want to cut. With each pass, you cut a little deeper. When it's close to cutting through, cut from the other side of the plastic too.
