Missed out on this sheet when it was released and nowhere to be found on the net, but if you have the Nail Fac (NF) OA-10A or (SF) OA-10A markings please let me know your asking price.

Thanks for posting. I too went to this show, static displays were a bit disappointing from years past, and I really wish this was a venue for flares use...water is at the end of the runway at the north end, but sadly no flares show...I was soooooo hoping for it.

Here we go!!!! Time to dig up my RF-4B from the stash. This is most welcome... Me have a feeling 2023 is going to be the year of the mighty Phantom for me!!!

This being a reprint, I did not change anything in the design of the existing sheets. But I am considering another ANG F-4C/D sheet with many of the options I had to skip earlier. As for NJ ANG aircraft - these will appear on a new series of F-4E / RF-4C / F-4G sheets that are coming in the next few months.
Outstanding news!!! I can't wait to see what you have in store!! Have a Meng E on it's way that will look phabulous in my home state NJ markings!!
-
Sure hope NJANG and DCANG F-4Ds are on the reprint.

Jake, with the soon to be released 1/48 Kinetic F-16D, how about some family model love. Eielson artic jets, Edward's test, TF-16Ns and some ANG Have Glass are just a few that come to mind-especially fancy that 113th Wing 'Capitols' jet.
-
You Sir are the king of the Eagles...yet another masterpiece F-15, just like your EX! This is a stunner!!
-
More decal applying tonight. May get the whole of it completed in this session. A few other small additions like HUD and nav lights-then landing gear. I'm determined to get to the finish line even with the continued setbacks.
-
Time to wrap this build up and get it back on track! I've run into one disaster after the next. Original plans of MIANG decals got canned due to my Expert Choice sheet shattering upon entering water-almost shelfed the build because of this. Moved on to my backup plan-PRANG decals, only for them to not appear to match('PR' lettering black not grey on decal)sooooo I moved on and decided some old school markings from my home state...and lo and behold, had the 'check ' arrow decal shattered. I won't even get into the AQM-37 ughhh. This build has fought me every step!!! I'll take some better pictures tomorrow.

They are both out, both released.
Good to know, hopefully my pre-ordered Meng kit ships sooner than later. Can't wait to get my grubby paws on it.

This is the only kit option AFAIK.

You attached the ZM kit option, do we know what the other Meng kit options are, box art shows one option being a Hill grey 561st jet, my understanding is there are three options in the Meng kit.
-
Got mine ordered, glad I waited. Can't wait to do a old school 561st bird in Euro 1. Speedhunter decals bring on them Weasels!

Final paint put down today, finish line is in sight. I have some touch up paint areas to tend to and bang seats need some finishing. Here's a few pics before glosscoat and decals this week. Not too happy with how the Pratt motor came out, I'm thinking about using the AK brush aluminum.

The Arrowhead PNVS is on the T sprue, which is in some of the later kits, like the “E” models and the later JGSDF kit, but is not in the original boxing in the review.
Excellent, thanks all for the input, I'll be getting a later boxing in that case.

From everything I have read, the Hasegawa 1/48 AH-64D is the best kit of it.
Here is a review by our own Dave Williams:

Can a late D or E be made from this kit? Or do I need to go the route of the Korean/Taiwan boxing? I have some BAM models ASPI exhaust already.

Over the weekend I sprayed up a comparison card of some grays in different brands I had around. The FS36375 Model Master reminded me why I don't really miss using MM. It was a previously used bottle from 2012 that sat for at least 5 years and had settled somewhat and the cap liner pealed apart when I opened it. I thought I got it thoroughly mixed and thinned, but it sprayed just like what @B-ONE27 got above and the airbrush kept wanting to clog.
Yup, that's exactly what my airbrush kept doing. Guess it didn't help that is very humid outside too 🤔

Oh-la-la... I like it a lot!
I'm getting the KASL parapack tail for my Hasegawa kit. I take it that the Kinetic kits bring this tail, already?
Exactly how old is this bottle of Model Master 36118, B-ONE? I've had unoppened bottles stored for 20+ years now, the lacquer metallic buffing stuff.
They still look okay when I shake them; no pigment settled on the bottom. I'm afraid they're going to vanish the minute I open them up?
Oh, well...
Cheers,
Gwen
Gwen,
Thank you, I'm pushing this one to complete. Got the paint issue smooth out so it's on to next color and then landing gear/load out. Yeah I've had this bottle of GG for about the same time as you. Think I'm going to have to face the music and switch to some different brands now that MM is no longer...I'm thinking Tamiya and Gunze. BTW, Yes this kit rendition does come with the extended brake chute tail.
-
A couple quick pictures after painting gunship, got some overspray areas and spider webbing that need some clean up...thinking this happened as a result of a old bottle of model master 36118. Hopefully some light wet sanding will smooth out grains. Looking to add L. Ghost and be donzo...this one is fighting me to the end

Your Viper came out fantastic looking! You nailed the SEA scheme on it!

i knew that. i was wondering what bird carried 191st markings or when 1026 carried them.
the pics i've seen both have her marked 171FS. Estimating earliest late 91 early 92 by the grey ejection triangles, both no dates listed on f16.net. different site shows her at Ontario in may 95 same markings
That's the family model I'm planning on building in my contribution to the group build..BTW Da SWO, let me know if the deal falls through with you backup deal, I can offer a spare if needed from my EC decal sheet.

Coming along awesome, B-ONE!
I ordered one of these kits, which is to arrive next month. In the meantime, I came across a Hasegawa 1/48 F-16B+ kit at such a bargain price on the local online market place two weeks ago I just could but getting it. It was so cheap I thought it was a scam at first. Very seldom do you see a kit like these pop up on an online auction site and so dirty cheap! I was almost embarrased about purchasing it. Think the seller didn't know what he was doing?
The Hasegawa kit is alright, but it lacks the detail the Kinetic kit has (intake trunking, cockpit and landing gear bays). Exhausts are meh on both kits, I guess.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Gwen
Thanks Gwen, hopefully your kit won't come as warped as mine. As you pointed out the starboard wing has noticeable warping which I attempted to address with hot water but to no avail. This is my first Kinetic F-16 and I really fancy the two seat family models but it has been bear of a struggle with fit woes. Hasegawas' are good and I too used to love em but they are definitely showing their age and just don't look the part to me anymore. I'm eager to finish this one out and I think it will look good once painted up!
-
A couple of quick pics as I'm almost at the finish line. Starting some black base marbling today..a few pylons and stores and centerline bag are off to the side and will get same treatment. Weather permitting this weekend some final paint, ready to wrap this up.
-
Getting close to the end with this build, man I build slow...Black base next and then the paint barn.

For anyone looking to grab one of these, Hobbylinc has them at a low price of $59.99. I've not seen them ever marked down that low. Just snagged myself up one.
