Hi all I'm hoping someone has the C/N kit and decided to build it as a small mouth Block 30 or something similar. I am in need of the intake lip for the MCID intake, part # H11 I'm also looking for two sets of the Station 3/7 pylon, which are parts C5, C6 and C10. If you can help me with either/or I would be very appreciative. I don't have anything really to trade, but I can offer to help with postage, and of course will pay it forward when I can. Thank you for looking. Aaron

If you're the guy I'm thinking of, you're from the Tacoma area aren't you? Regardless, welcome back to ARC, and I'm sorry to hear about your shelf falling. I remember when the heartache I felt when my wife's cat knocked off a shelf with two mediocre models I built on it. Aaron

L/F 1/48 AGM-88 HARM's
strikeeagle801 replied to strikeeagle801's topic in The Spares Box - add scale to your title
Beggars can't be choosers Don. I'm just greatful for the help if you can. Aaron -
Hello all As the title says, I'm in search of 1/48 HARM's. I'm working on the Tamiya F-16CJ, and I messed mine up. I'm looking for two, but if you have more, I wouldn't mind having a few extras to work with. I don't have anything to trade right now, but would be happy to pitch in for shipping and pay you a little for the actual parts. I get paid on Friday, so I can't do so until then. If you can help, please send me a PM. Thanks. Aaron

I can second this fact. The 160th still uses them. Aaron

The EP-3E's will be around for a few more years, but as far as base-line P-3C's go, this last deployment was the end of the line for active-duty squadrons. Aaron

Kitty Hawk AH-1Z "Viper" 1/48 (finished)
strikeeagle801 replied to kike's topic in Helicopter Modeling
unfortunately, all of the reference photos I had of that helo were on an external hard drive that died on me, and are now lost forever. You are doing a great job on it with the references you have. Keep it up! Aaron ps. Here's a couple of shots of it on airfighters. https://www.airfighters.com/photosearch.php?reg=168800 -
Kitty Hawk AH-1Z "Viper" 1/48 (finished)
strikeeagle801 replied to kike's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Really looks great. My friends and I helped get the references for the decals, and I am glad to see that scheme used. Aaron -
I think we ALL built this kit at about the age of 12. I still remember getting this kit, putting it together, spray bombing the entire thing forest green, and hanging it from my ceiling. We moved when I was 16, and the thing could not come with me (not to mention, I had learned SO MUCH MORE about modelling then...like actual camouflage) and so I took it outside and launched it into the bed of my truck from 15-20 feet away. The first time it hit, I think I only lost an engine. The thing was built pretty tough, just like the real thing. So, I launched it a few more times until it finally shatter

And the same goes in reverse! We had a little hiccup with PayPal, and Brian was a top-notch communicator throughout the whole thing. I would say that not only did I gain a trading partner through this transaction, I may have even gained a friend. Aaron

Vanilla UH-60 from Kitty Hawk MH-60?

This is me holding off for a bit! Just sayin' 🙂 Aaron -
Vanilla UH-60 from Kitty Hawk MH-60?
strikeeagle801 replied to Vaildog's topic in Helicopter Modeling
Yes. You need to source a "steam gauge" instrument panel and a non-square stab from an Academy kit, and you're there. That is my plan as well. I have an MH-60 to build, as well as the UH-60L that I flew in with the National Guard. Aaron -
Dark Blue Killer - Tamiya 1/32nd F4U-1D Corsair
strikeeagle801 replied to 11bee's topic in Critique Corner
That certainly is an eye-catcher. Great job! Aaron -
I'm pretty much getting out. I've realized that my buying habits have FAR outweighed my building habits, and that I'm just not really interested in building any more at this stage in my life. I've kept a couple of kits in case the "spark" ever comes back, but these kits and aftermarket need to go. I've set what I believe are reasonable prices on them. If you think otherwise, I am open to offers, especially on multiple items. Shipping is not included, and will be through USPS. No trades are wanted at this time. Please send me a PM with any questions, or if you are interested in purc

Actually, you are BOTH WRONG. We come to find out that the "high speed pass" was actually on Carole Bradshaw, and that Goose' "son" is actually Maverick's. Aaron

I've got the 1/32 Tamiya kit up for sale. The kit is open box, bags sealed. Asking 165 dollars plus shipping. I prefer Paypal, but can accept other forms of payment as well. PM me if interested or if you have questions. Aaron

I've had mixed luck with it myself. As something to dip canopies/windows in, it works pretty well. As an over-all gloss coat, it's been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I can get a pretty good, even coat, other times (seeming to do the exact same process as the last time) it will "bead up" and not be smooth. So, I don't know about it. I have not really found anything to replace it with, so I continue to use it, but it isn't a be all to end all like some people think it is. Aaron

Okay. Still does not counter what I said...They were not used by the Strike Eagle community in large numbers til later. By Operation Allied Force, the LN Strikes were still only carrying two per aircraft.

is this what Pledge is calling Future now? or is this something different?
