Tried to send a PM for a Falcon canopy set but got a “ not receiving msgs” when tried to send.

That looks awesome! Always likes the look of the sky fox in the Lizard scheme. Any chance on scaling it up to 1/48? I just can’t do 1/72 anymore with my eyesight.

Mega hobby has them on sale for $60! Spend $100 get free shipping in the CONUS.

Falcon is still in business! I ordered from them about a year ago. Squadron is doing canopies again as well.

Yup, the Navy brought in the F-18, V-22, two T-45s, and a C-2 Greyhound. We saw the F-18 depart the next day, she took off and climbed out of there at a pretty steep angle. Cal Fire had a Turbo Tracker, and Brono on display. 2 Mustangs, one out of Half Moon Bay, the other out of Hollister, they did a couple of low passes before departing. There was supposed to be an F-5, and a PV-2 but they were no shows. -Charlie

Hey! That's the Truckee Airshow! I was there with my girls. Took a few pics of this plane, girls got to go inside, and they also got to meet the Female Naval Aviator who flew in the F-18E for the show. One thing that struck me and made me feel old was how young the crew of this plane were!

Have you emailed Allen to request he reissue it? He does reissue high demand kits. Doesn’t hurt to ask!

If you’re looking for “ my karma” you can also find it on an old micro/super scale sheet. Might be easier to come across !

I’ll add the 48038 Phantom sheet!

Hi Kursad sent you a follow up PM on adding a decals sheet charlie

Pm sent on the A-7

Admins are usually pretty busy on the weekends with the auctions, calms down a bit during the week! Give it a few days.

Scale model graveyard. I gave up eBay years ago when they turned up the screws on sellers. Graveyard is great! I’ve sold tons of stuff there and the admins run a tight ship. You’ll do well with armor there.

Well…not exactly Modern, but I just finished reading Iron Claw by Sherman Baldwin. His experiences as a rookie Prowler Pilot just before and including Desert Storm on the USS Midway. Some good insight into the day to day stuff and flying. I learned quite a bit. You can pick it up used cheap on Amazon. We’ve got a vacation planned to San Diego next year, I’m going to bring it so I can retrace some of the authors steps while touring the Midway.

The Tamiya rattle can silvers are awesome. Decant or spray right from the can. They dry rock hard and can even be buffed out a little.

Sold!

Open box, sealed bags. It's a HUGE box, I'm shipping from West Coast, so anything east of Texas is probably going to get pricey. USA/Paypal only. $65 + Shipping. PM if interested.

Just saw this in the latest issue of Scale Aircraft Modeler!

Where are you located? I’m seeing $40 Prime for either Tamiya T-bolt. I’ve seen it go lower too, picked up a Razorback a few months ago for $34 Prime.

There’s some minor scale discrepancies between the AMT/Esci kit and the Monogram. The nacelles are bigger and engines bigger and fictional for a 2800. The cockpit area is also a little bigger. I’ve only seen the Resin 2 detail parts in pics, they look nice. I’ve got a set of loon parts for a future build. I’ve seen them on eBay and Kitlinx might carry them. It looks like Loon used the monogram parts as a master, but they’re really nice. wear gloves when using the alcohol, as it’ll dry out your skin, have some ventilation and don’t use near a flame source. It’s basically rub

I use Distilled water! Acryl has a slight hint of ammonia I know some have used windex.

Hey Dave, does eBay still have the Vero program? 10+ years ago I was doing 1/6 and 1/8 resin kits. Couple guys decided to make bootleg copies of them and sell them on eBay at half what I was charging. I had to fill out a stack of paper work but was able to get their listings shut down everytime they’d put one up. That was 10+ years ago though…

Gwen, those Esci cowls won’t fit the monogram kit, they’re way, way too big! You can fit the whole monogram cowl inside the Esci one. Search out the loon resin cowls for the monogram kit, they’re very nice!
