  1. Totally freakin awesome RIP...thanks for posting- man I may have to move to Tucson, no such happenings here over Maryland ever...arrrgh, heavy commerical traffice spoiling the fun :D
  2. All- Thanks for the input, I will certainly take a shot
  3. -Bandwagon(didn't even trade with 'em, he just gave me a boat-load of 1/48 'legacy Bugs' decals) -Dann-Dann Judit -Baltazar -Dave Roof Hope I am not forgetting anyone, you guys are true gentlemen-let's do it again sometime
  4. okay fellas, another assist, as the topic says, I am trying to get my ejection handles to look like the real thingy, however, I can never get em to look bright and crisp as I've seen by some of you guys here. Is it the paint I use-fond of model master acrylics...perhaps I should use enamels, I just want my seats to look good with those yellow and black bands or should I apply more coats-for the most part I use a toothpick to place it on. Any thoughts guys :D
  5. yes sir, "doing things is what I like to do", and that Viper is off the charts...got put that 55th 'shooters' jet in front of this aggressor to do now, nice job man...this is another reason why I can't shake this Viper flu I got :D
  6. that is one beautiful Prowler, very patriotic, perhaps the best CAG scheme ever on a Prowler-me like :D
  7. yeah, your right Jake, it was circa 1954, and the BUFF was carrying a nuclear payload to boot-scattered over a portion of Spain. Bad PR for the Air Force during the time afterward to find and locate those cruise missles, in fact the navy found one intact in the Med.
  8. thanks Jake, you learn something new every day. I guess they are easily attached in time of need.
  9. oh yeah my mighty F-16, but is it me or does it look like that CCIP '50' does not have the LUA-129s-appear to be the older style wingtip rails. :huh: Thanks for posting
  10. As usual, hot shots man...especially love the "in the turn" shot, can't wait to see MORE-bet you can't wait for hasegawa to repop those D's now, I know what build yours will be POST MORE
  11. Congrats Jake on that Viper ride, had to be freakin awesome Can't wait to see the pics-I actually spied that same 'D' you had the pleasure of flying in during a transient stop over at Peterson a couple years back. I just wish I could get a ride-DCANG and NJANG have turned me down on numerous occasions :D
  12. Just picked up the same kit from Walmart as well, and it does have all of the underwing pylons, in addition to a centerline tank, a pair of sidewinders, and four MK-84 2000 pounders. Now out of box, it is a 'A' model, but as Ken said, can be made into a 'C' by changing the antennae on top of the spine of the aircraft, has LEX fences and bumps. I am acutally 30% into the build, and plan on building an 'A' model from VMFA-251.
  13. Cool, I definately hope that plans are kept to have one do a flyby at Andrews Open House as scheduled to take place, either way, I'll be in da house-F-15E demo, BONE demo- but that would make for a cool flyby, can't wait
  14. I agree fully with both Chappie and Jake...ANY air tragedy is just that, a tragedy, no aircraft built and flying is intended to depart from the sky, let alone live up to that nomenclature...you don't hear those type of remarks when a commercial jet departs the sky.
  15. Karl, PBoiler, Waco, Murph, Sunshine, Pawlow, Cobra, Thuddriver and All- Thanks big time fellas for the explanation! That certainly adds up now. I was just curious as I have often seen this at times, and thought, hey what better security/identification protocol-heck Waco none of you guys had your visors/helmets on when you were preflighting those four transients Eagles at Peterson when I saw you, so this now makes sense to me-and then I have seen the Prowler or Hornet guy walk-up to the jet(both on land and on the boat) with visors down, so I thought it was a security protocol. Thanks once ag
  16. Ok everyone, bare with me, this may be a common sense question, but I am nevertheless, curious to know whether or not this is a security/identification/regulation measure, or simply a procedure used by the aircrew invariably. The reason being, is I have often seen images/pics of both Navy and Marine aircrew preflighting or even postflighting, their aircraft-both on the boat and on land, with their visors still down. Converesly, very seldom, if almost never, have I seen USAF aircrews with their visors down. Any rhyme or reason behind this, other than they look damn cool. :(
  17. Cool man, I have that very same sheet, and did my B-ONE up as "Uncaged." I used the Airfix kit at the time of the build, however, I wish I would have used the Monogram...that's okay though, I plan on some redemption with the Monogram kit I have now, and the CE featherless cans. Wish I could make the heavies build timeline, enjoy man.
  18. Good luck with the build Don, can't wait to see some pics, any idea what scheme/unit you will depict your B-ONE in?
  19. As always Ken, fine perspectives...keep em comin man...gives me my daily fix that I need
  20. Man Waco, I was kinda expecting you guys to do the same thing at the acedemy flyover with your four-ship-no vectoring of course, but if that burner-run could have been directly overtop my position, I would have loved to see that ;)
  21. saw a C-130J of the MDANG takeoff right over top of my car...very quiet, and suprisinlgy, did not use much runway at all-in fact by the time she was over the airport fence, she had to be roughly 300-400 feet up...cool BONE'S by the way Jonsey...I love that jet.
  22. Mungo said it exactly...I love those beautiful *** PAVE's...the gun perspective is totally wicked.
  23. Damn, the "RACERS" Block 30's are going away...politicians should go away B)
  24. Courtesy of few fellow ARCer's here, I just got my grubby paws on -1/72nd Monogram B-1B/CE featherless cans, 1/48 VFA-86 "Sidewinders" and TONS of other F/A-18A/B/C/D decals-ALL FREE and 1/48 VFC-12 "Fighting Omars." BIG THANKS & PROPS TO -BALTAZAR -BANDWAGON -DAN All of you guys were great, and I would not have these desired items if it weren't for you guys
