    Wow! Great job on the paint! The preshading is something I need to practice. Thanks for all the photos

    Thanks, the Kinetic kit was on sale, and comes with some nice decals for reserve jets. I was just going to try to use decals I already had for TJ jets I worked. I was also at Hahn which did have Block 25s, but the only decals for those I've seen are inaccurate. But the 80s are getting a little hazy in spots... I ordered a Fab intake and we'll see how it fits.

    Hi All, Got a gift card for Squadron and picked up the Block 25/42 F-16C. I have some decals for a Torrejon C model, but its a block 30D with the big mouth intake. I searched for some resin intakes but they seem to all be in China. Is there a good resin option?

    OK, I just thought this was cool. https://www.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/static/history/afj/ap08fj/pdf/sa503-flightmanual.pdf

    The Academy 1/72 kit includes extra propellers and early horizontal stabs IIRC

    We generally loaded them on the centerline station 5. Unless the centerline was needed for a fuel tank, then they were loaded on station 3 or 5 (wings) such as for a transocean flight. But that would take a wing pylon away from munitions load out, so we never flew them operationally on the wing stations.

    I seem to recall some of the block 5s having no JFS doors in the early 80s. I don't know if that was all of them.

    Wow

    That camo paint job looks AWESOME. Is that freehand or masked?

    Cool! I saluted a Canadian loadmaster at Red Flag once. His NCO shoulderboards looked like officer bars haha, what did I know.

    I can do a high resolution scan if you'd like it for print or stencils

    Yes, the decal sheet looks like it has Texas Air National Guard, and Canadian markings.

    Very cool. I've been wanting to do a large scale GT-40 since seeing Ford vs Ferrari! Has anyone else noticed vintage car models are going for crazy prices! I just scored the same Monogram F-101 kit on the auction site. So I'll have a nice shelf full of century jets eventually haha

    Wow! All these cool Phantom builds. Makes me want to dig one out. I have a couple oldies Monogram and Testors (Italeri?)

    Air Force runways do have arresting systems at both ends, for hydraulic/brake failures. The arresting hook is also a good way to hold the aircraft down on the pad for maintenance runs in afterburner. Cool on nightshift!
