Aeromaster/Eagle strike did some sheets, black box did a cockpit, some Russian outfit did exhausts. There’s a guy on Hyperscale who did some printed parts.

Looking forward to this one. Anyone seen the decal sheet? I’m wondering if there is more than just the box scheme…

Some good info here: https://www.spaceinminiature.com/ref/sts/sts_table.html I highly recommend mikes book on the shuttle. It’s cheap and full of references to get you the best shuttle kit.

Latest I heard was March 2024, but there’s a war on in their country so I’m not going to hold them to it.

True, but I’m not entirely comfortable giving my payment info to them and I’d support a USA based seller

Nice build!

Preserved example so I’m sure some errors but a lot less striping than the red test scheme.

Kursad, I believe operational markings would fit, and if I recall there are no operational schemes available, they’re all the red test schemes with red stripes. it is a huge kit!

Anyone know why it inserted “I am a spammer” into my post?

I don’t know what would fit on a sheet but ideally I’d like to see the Revell box scale Snark (operational markings), Regulas and Bomarc. Those also seem to be the three most common kits. After that, operational markings for the Revell I am a spammer, please report this post. Apache and the Revell (renwall) Mace. Beyond that you’re getting into more rare kits but those 5 are still readily found and Atlantis has reissued the Bomarc and I am a spammer, please report this post. Apache.

Been awhile since this was updated, I’m about to pull the trigger on an order but was wondering if there was anything to add that I’ve been putting off?

Meng F-4G for $67 shipped right now an Amazon. Got mine today.

Army painter makes a semi gloss in a spray can. I’ve never used it but I’ve been happy with a few of their other sprays.

Plankwing (who ran the F-84 website) and Harold (of ams resin) both F-84 fanatics did several breakdowns of the various kits years ago. Here’s one of the threads

Yahoo!!!

Aviators made a 1/48 P-40N and A P-43 ( still have it in the stash!). There were others but I can’t recall!

AW&ST did have a feature with a sketch that ended up becoming the Testors SR-75.

I’m well aware of that, with several acquaintances who’ve had clearance that worked in aerospace. Doesn’t mean it never happens though….but there was a story/myth that he got a knock on the door and after they saw what he was working on decided it was a none issue. Urban myth? Really happened….don’t know which is why I was asking.

Any truth to the story that John Andrews got visited by some g-men over the F-19 kit? Concerned he might have had access to classified info? I always thought it was interesting the MiG-37 was closer to reality (faceted surfaces).

Glad you guys were able to snag one, that’s an excellent price including shipping!

Amazon has them for $32 shipped! Only 3 left at this price as of me typing this. There were 7 available when I ordered mine earlier.

I got all the ANG sheets but when you want to build 2-3 from each sheet, there aren’t enough stencils! Already did one of the Oregon birds, Texans is in early progress, but still planning on Happy Hooligans and the other Oregon bird!

Nice! Love those Midway Phantoms!

Does it come with the walkways? Cause I could use 2-3 of them! Also a stencil sheet for your ANG T-33s!
