Italeri have had their reissue of the ESCI JetRanger in their catalogue as an upcoming release....for three years now. One day it'll happen!!

AMP/MikroMir have released far more obscure helicopter kits than this after having shared CAD imagery a few months beforehand, so I have a lot of faith!

Thanks for the drawings for the paint scheme, that's perfect!

It is there, my Dad's been to see it hence my interest. Although I'd much rather finish any future model as she appeared pre-delivery rather than the quite faded version she has now. What are the odds anyone has any drawing/marking scheme for this?

Is that scheme what is worn by 59-2596 in this photo? USAF Official 59-2596 USAF official 02 by Zac Yates, on Flickr

Happy to help! The quality of the photo in general isn't great, disappointingly.

^^ What he said. It looks spectacular! WOW! I have a fuselage I've been tempted to turn into a simulator but an F-16 sim is a whole other level. I truly hope you share more of your build!

My local library has, I think, Aces 95. I can borrow it and scan the image for you?

Gregg, that's awesome!

Hi all, I'm planning a scratchbuild project in 1/48 which needs a J-6-5, but I can't find anything online. Does one exist? Is there a -7 or -9 that could, with some work, fit the bill? Any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi all, Italeri has released a Top Gun combo set of F-14A and A-4F - with a rather clever piece of boxart - including decals that seem to be for aircraft from the movie. Are these markings any good for doing a proper movie pair? https://www.italeri.com/scheda.asp?idProdotto=2763

That was my plan, thanks catfan!

I'm glad I've come into this build early, I love what you've done so far!
