  1. Finally done.. will be posting ARC article soon
  2. You can check out Anchorage, Alaska - Elmendorf AFB - the two F-15Cs squadrons on their respective ramps and the C-130s and F-15Es on the north and northeastern side of base... don't see the E-3 AWACS... you can also check out Anchorage Int Aiport... southside has the ANG C-130s and HH-60s.. plus all your various airliners.
  3. Slowly getting there - looks like an F-16 now
  4. I don't know how far some of you CJ builders have gotten but heres my lastest progress - I indicated below the areas where I have found a big gap... the upper intake base and the back engine cover - has any one else gotten this problem? Unfortunately I had a slight problem..I had pushed down too hard on the intake base and snapped the beam in the middle of the intake so fixed that and now dealing with the gaps.
  5. The engine was completed in like a weekend...maybe 4 hours total ... not much in a hurry but my goal is to spend at least 15 minutes a day on the project.
  6. I finished the engine last night - unfortunately at this time only have a 1.3 pixel camera to show the progress. Other than buffing and weathering the outside of the nozzles and added heat streaks inside the them - moving onto the next challenge.
  7. Mark what markings are you going to do?
  8. A couple years ago.. I think it was Mungo had shown me one of the now Misawa Block 50s taxiing at Hill. I just dont know if it was him who showed me!
  9. I'll be starting my CJ this weekend... I'm debating which Misawa jet to build - I will be including a little account by Lt.Col. Dennis who commanded the 14th FS during Operation Iraqi Freedom. What markings are some of you out there going to build?
  10. VF-41 flew A models .... read the book Black Aces High.. all about their Kosovo missions
  11. Thanks Jake... yeah the 333 and 334 are school houses but a few IPs and IWSOs from both squadrons deployed so wondered if the 335 and 336 borrowed some jets as has been done with other deploying squadrons.
  12. Continueing my flagship series .. here I have the 1/48 RM F-15E. I pieced together decals from various kits and made some on my own to depict the Wing Commanders aircraft which was assigned to the 333FS. I was curious if anyone knew if this bird deployed during OIF. I also know that the the 4 squadron badges were replaced with one gaggle recently. The tailcodes should be outlined in grey rather than white so I am still debating about trying to grey them.
  13. During Operation Iraqi Freedom, the SC ANG arrived with new CCIP upgraded F-16CJs. Those CJs had Lightening II pods in place of HTS pods during the latter part of OIF. Later - Mountain Home CCIP jets arrived to relieve CJs from Spangdelham. SC ANG and MO F-16CJs flew a variety of missions with the whole spectrum of air to ground weapons.
