Super work! I especially love the authentic-looking paint job. 😍🏆
Here's what CF-104s looked like back in 1974, when my father flew them. This aircraft took part in the Tactical Weapons Meet. I was 15 years old, and used to climb under the barbed wire by the control tower in Baden to watch the jets taxi by. The Military Police never caught us, and the pilots all waved at us as they went by. The second picture is at a Tiger Meet, with my father at far right in the photo. Fantastic job, Janissary!
Your father is your spitting image. Nice images. -
Excellent build, love the pull handle technique.

Fact or guess? If fact, where did you find it, and what scale are we talking about?
1/72. Not sure why it isn’t officially announced yet. -
It’s Academy.

Best kit to use will be the Aggressor boxing of the Tamiya Viper. It has parts to do all the C variants (blocks 25 to 52).
As you have the CJ, you will need to source for the original "lightweight" landing gear, associated non-bulged main gear doors, and wheels.
Hope this helps!

I have three of those 1/48 kits. But I’m currently planning on building in 1/32, I’d use those instructions to build a Block 25 if I had a 1/32 Thunderbirds kit to cross with the Block 50. -

Which Tamiya kit do you have?
The block 50 CJ. -
Thanks all, I suspected it was a Block 30.

Huh, that seemed to be my most comented post in almost 10 years on ARC. Mom said popularity isn't as fun as it seems.
Us Herc guys will defend the Herc as if it were our own child or girlfriend. -
Sorry, I had the details saved somewhere.

I want to build the Tamiya F-16 with this serial when the jet was with the Ohio ANG.

Awesome build and finish.

Looking sharp! This build will probably inspire me to build one of my three Zveda kits earlier than planned.
We actually had an AC-130J fresh from the factory at a recent airshow, 2-3 years ago.

Nice stuff, we used to have ARIA’s visit out base frequently in the 90s. Occasionally we’d see a NC-135, all during the Cold War.
-
Really enjoyed reading through your build thread. I look forward to building my own Zveda Hercs. Great build!
I worked on Hercs for 8 years of my 25 year career in the RCAF. I love the girl.

Very nice work here. A lot of attention to detail. You just have to appreciate the ugliness of C-130. It's so ugly it's pretty.
Nothing ugly about the Herc, she is a thing of beauty. -
Looking good! This is going to be a stunner when complete.
-
Great looking build!

Kursad,
Can we get some Canadian options, both CAF and RCAF? Canuck Models is no longer and Leading Edge Models does not have 1/72 CP-140 decals, he doesn’t produce much anymore at all. He only releases past decals occasionally.
The out of production options are rare and when they do appear on eBay they go for an arm and a leg.
I’m a 1/48 builder although this is one 1/72 kit I will build.

Was that Hobby Wholesale?
Nope, Great Hobbies. Cheaper than Hobby Wholesale, plus they give IPMS discount. They have more in stock. -

Give it a try 3D modeling is just a different part of modeling without the fumes 😆 Try your local hobby shop they are probably into it and can help you along.
The local shop (Great Hobbies), has brought in a ton of printing products, they even have a lot of it on clearance sales. I’ll likely give it a try, I’m usually not intimidated by change. -

I am hoping the moderators will look at starting a 3D modeling forum to pass the craft onto those with an interests. I hate to say it but I think the after market upgrade kits will soon be dyeing a slow death now that modelers can create their own parts. There is a endless supply of research material to make your own parts accurately.
It was a few projects ago that I got frustrated with cost and quality of upgrade kits, yes there is a up front cost to 3D printing but i have found over the course of the last year it has paid for itself. Having the ability to make parts the same way you would when kit bashing any model with the flexibility to add as much detail as I want. If a part breaks or needs more work its a simple fix and I can make as parts as I want.
l’d love to learn to 3D print, but I feel I’d fail miserably at it. The funny thing is I’m good with technology, computers, and mechanics. Served 25 years in the CAF/RCAF, now work in the medical field as a biomedical engineer, designed and built prototype medical devices from the component level up (nanotechnology PCR devices), but struggle with simple programs as easy as IKEA’s kitchen design software. :)I’m good with software, but feel intimidated by what I see others producing in 3D online.
I’ve been building a Hasegawa Sea King (Canadian of course) since it was released. I don’t feel I could replicate the internal structure in 3D you displayed here. I was planning on scratch building those details. You emailed me files for 3D interior details for my Sea King, I haven’t even figured that out yet. I’m going to ask a friend of mine, an armor builder, to print those parts out for me.
I’ll definitely follow this thread.

Beauty!

I'm waiting for a resin conversion. Once that happens, we can proceed with the sheet, but I have no power or say-so with any resin maker.
Good news Jake! You can proceed with that decal sheet that you drew up and that we all want! There is a conversion now!https://bam-models.com/product/1-48-qf-4e-conversion-sets-for-meng/

In hobby shops in Edmonton, I passed on it, had one in my grubby hands. $139.99 Cdn.
For our Canadian modelers, Kinetic just announced a CT-114 Tutor

3rd quarter, yes it was delayed. Hobby sales have been down so they decided to delay its release. I have three on pre-order, fully paid. This info is directly from Raymond.
