  1. Have the Italeri F-14 in 1/48 and yes I know its not the best Tomcat ever but going to build it anyway. The only bad bits I can't ignore are the main wheels. If you have used some resin wheels on your super duper Hasegawa or Tamiya kit and have the old ones spare I'd appreciate them. Actually any 1/48 kit wheels would do and would be an improvement on the Italeri ones. 

    Can't understand how they got the 1/72 ones right and the 48s soon wrong. 

  2. Purely curious on the new 1/72 B-52H (late) sheet timescale. I've an AMT kit nearly done with some partial Wolfpak decals but missing all stencils, debating whether to put it on hold awaiting quality stuff from Caracal (and probably changing all applied so far) or just plugging on with it with some really old and incorrect AMT stencils.

  3. Question for the experts. 1/72 scale, I've  a Fujimi F-4B done up as a Marines mud mover (VMFA-542) and the kit has a separate centre line pylon with no tank. I have several ESCI & Hasegawa MERs but no idea of the MER position on the centre pylon. I.e how far forward/back. Anyone got any ideas? None of my references are any help. Plan is to put some Mk82s on the MER, a pair of rocket pods on a TER on each inboard pylon, outer wing tanks and a pair of Sparrows on the rear fuse wells. Sound plausible?

    TIA

    Xtradecals did that scheme ages ago. It was awful! I second the idea, we definitely need more late USAF/ANG/AFRES mid-80’s photo Phantoms.

    Yes. I used them a few years ago to build Starize. I wonder were they one of Xtradecals earliest sheets?

     Yes they were awful, poorly printed, strange shapes to some of the code letters and with a yucky yellow milky adhesive. Ugh...
