Interesting! Let me take comparison shots of my decals and what's on my F-18 tonight. For me, just about every single decal on the upper disappeared into the paint job,

Thanks guys!

Just the stencils, really. All the little warnings and hooks and panel labels, etc. What's that little square with the bunny ears on the moving surfaces? Those no-step markings? Those too. Unfortunately I put a whole bunch on before I realized the ink on the decals were the exact same color as the paint!

LOL nice

...because apparently, the gray ink in these decals are the exact same color as Testor's Dark Ghost Gray. If anyone has an unwanted low-viz F-18F sheet, I'd be most grateful as this kit has been sitting in my delay pile for 2 years now.

I'm a bit late to the party here as I've been taking some time off from modeling, but I take it the Illini KC-135 was dropped?

Hi everyone, I'd really really like to get decals for Wolfpak 72-007. All I need is the AC-130U part really, so I would be most grateful if you have it. Thanks!

I found out about Ted's passing this morning on my Facebook feed somehow. I loved his builds. If I my memory is correct, I met him briefly at the 2002 Virginia Nationals. I will miss his articles and his personality.

Beautiful work. Good job, Sven! Have you submitted this to Airfix?

Where did you buy the kit from? I tried contacting Stevens a couple of years back for a missing wheel on a 1/32 F-7 and they basically told me I was SOL. Hopefully they've improved their Trumpeter customer service. I've had better luck with Squadron - I called them one time because I was missing a sprue and they sent me a replacement.

You might have to provide a link, mate. Airfighters.com has censored you.

Hey all, Can anyone recommend a good hobby shop out in Sarasota, FL? I looked up Google for a shop and Hobby Marketplace seems to sound the most promising.

Sorry you had such bad luck Nerdling. I've bought stuff from them quite a bit and they seem to have better luck with the esoteric stuff compared to Squadron. Like the others said they're a bit slow with the shipping and order processing but if you're patient they'll get you taken care of.

Least I could do - you've given me years of Flanker color info! It's a beautiful build Ken - can't wait to see the magazine article!

Looks good Ryan. So did you wind up using the Tamiya X-14 straight out of the bottle?

Wow, that's pretty sweet. Great job!

Nice! I've always wanted to build a YF-16. Did these decals come with the Academy kit too?

Go to his Flickr home page and you'll see that he's built an entire airshow! Thanks for sharing.

Is! A! Good! Trader! Thanks Felinoid :D

Is a great trader! Where do I begin? He always responded to my questions. He packed the stuff up pretty well and was quick about it too. He even left a little surprise - an aftermarket metal barrel for the T-80. Thanks Felinoid! :D

Thanks guys!

'fraid not. Too much going on at home.

Ehmahgerd.

Hey all, Regarding Quickboost's MiG-29 nose correction for the Italeri 1/72 kit - when I cut the nose off, do I cut it off at the first "ring" or the one further in/closer to the cockpit? I can't find any instructions on that. Thanks!

Hey Steve, Are you still getting Aires stuff? I'm trying to get a hold of some 1/72 burner cans for the Italeri Mig-29.
