  1. Liked the new venue. Plenty of room to maneuver in both the contest and vendor areas. Took home 3 awards, including “Best Gulf War Aircraft”, so pleased overall. Managed to make it there and back without a speeding ticket or encountering gun violence too.
  2. I’m planning to be there with several entries. Definitely looking forward to the show and finding a few good deals!
  3. Email sent on: Caracal Models C-45 Expeditor Part 2/CD48079, Furball White Knights (T-38A/AT-38B)/48028 and Fox One USMC F-4J Phantoms in Vietnam- Lancers and Shamrocks/32-003
  4. Still waiting as well. He listed all this and hasn’t been on the forum since. Strange...
  5. I haven't received a response either. He hasn't been online since Sunday.
  6. Title says it all. If you have this sheet and are willing to part with it, please let me know. Prefer to keep it within the USA. Thanks!
  7. Confirmed elsewhere, this is a clearout of their remaining NZ warehouse stock. So unless you're down in that region of the globe, it's probably not going to do you a lot of good.
  8. Part 1 can be found on eBay from seller rebelalpha. Dealt with him multiple times, no issues at all.
  9. Beware of this turkey. Alejandro Gallardo, aka aleg_306 of Brownsville, Texas. He has an ebay feedback score of 0. Recently placed multiple bids on one of my auctions and drove the price up. AFTER the listing was over, messaged me to send a photo to him of myself holding the item to prove I wasn't a scammer. Politely declined his request, as this seemed absolutely ridiculous. A day later he messaged me that he had no intention of paying, because "things came up, bro". Reported him to ebay and blocked him from further bidding. Suggest others do the same. I'm not sure what the point of
  10. Today’s update has the main fuselage section painted. As with any subject you are modeling, checking reference photos is always a must. The Furball instructions show the aircraft in 1964 and depict a semicircular anti glare marking on the nose. While I don’t dispute this, I have been unable to find a picture of 142664 with this style marking. Further research shows a variety of black anti-glare markings. Here’s a VAH sister bird with half the anti-glare marking that has a hard stop at the radome Heres an aircraft with a what I will call a “step down” type mar
  11. Followed your WIP thread for this. The time and effort definitely justifies the end product.
  12. Also posted to the Critique Corner. 1/48 Kinetic MQ-9B with Caracal stickers.
  13. A bit of an update on the old Whale finally. The majority of the time was spent filling and sanding to eliminate all of the fit issues the kit has to offer. I went ahead and attached the main wing sections to the fuselage. These lined up fairly well, and minimal sanding was required. I will be building it with the wings folded, so I will worry about the outer sections later. The kit was primed, checked, sanded, repeat multiple times as things popped up. So here's where it stands as of now. The tail is flush, the light from the photo exacerbates the
  14. This is the 1/48 Kinetic kit along with markings from Caracal for the 432nd WG based at Creech AFB. Kit goes together quite nicely. It does require quite a bit of weight in the front end to keep from being a tail sitter. The engine bay is void of detail, so I made a set of covers from putty. The gear bay is also empty, so I boxed that structure in. Loadout is GBU-12s from the kit and a set of GBU-38s from Shawn Hull. The Hellfires in the kit don’t include enough decals to mark them properly. Paint is MRP on the top and bottom, Model Master enamel for the turret, MMP for the
  15. Shouldn’t be an issue putting Aquagloss over future, they’re both acrylic. Aquagloss is superior to Future in about every regard. Unless of course you’re looking for a mediocre floor wax, in which case Future wins hands down.
  16. Yes, but why bother using Future if you're using Aquagloss?
  17. Aqua Gloss works fantastically as does GX-112 and Tamiya Gloss. Future/Klear/Johnson's Floor Polish has it's place... on your hardwood floors.
  18. Sidetracked with a request for an Indycar in time for Christmas, a helo for a classmate that flies them and then a quick sanity build before I get back to it. I acquired the Reskit wheels from the Ukraine to replace the vinyl kit tires and snagged the Hypersonic replacement canopy. Should have some pictures soon, mostly filling and sanding, which was causing some burnout.
  19. 1/48 Italeri AH-1W with markings for HMLA-367. This was built for a classmate of mine who is a pilot for HMLA-367. The Olympik update set was not available easily, and she didn’t really care about having shrouded exhausts so we went with the vintage 1993 kit in all its glory. Hard to believe nobody has made a newer version 1/48. Mission Models paints, GX-113 as the flat coat, combination of Tamiya PLW and The Detailer for a mild wash, with exhaust and dirt from Scalecolors. Hairspray chipping on the rotor blades.
  20. Email on: Revell 1/144 C-17 FREE *********JUST PAY POSTAGE ******** THIS IS A BUILDERS KIT - It was started by the previous owner and is half built. MAW Decals 48008 formation lights $3.00 Wolfpack Design GBU-32 $5.0
  21. Tamiya clear is a lacquer based product. AK real colors is also a lacquer based paint. You need something non-lacquer based in between the two to prevent the tamiya eating into the AK.
