Desertpilot

Thanks everyone! I had a blast building it. Give me a few weeks, I've got another "what-if" in the works...

It would be really cool if someone would update the pilot helmets for the A-10C as well. All A-10C's got the new Scorpion HMD this spring and can be seen flying all over the place. That would be nice to have in resin.

BACK FROM THE DEAD !!!!

Needless to say, life happened, a new house, new baby and even more work travel.

With the long weekend this week, I'm going to start the "home stretch" on this I think. Have a look:

Interesting... where can one purchase Pit Road kits???

I've gotten a LOT done on this bird. Taking a LONG time with my work travel schedule, but it's getting done. Will post some pic's this weekend. DP.

Correct on the Mk16E seat on the F-35. Since this pic was taken, the head-pad has changed and the canopy breakers have gotten larger. Here's a pic of the (not-so) current configuration:

I've got pic's up close of the A model, not the B.

Guys, I'm on vacation this week, I will be hitting this girl tomorrow ALL day!!! Wish me luck! Pic's to follow! DP

JEEEZ that went fast!!! I'm on the road so much, not sure how much I can get done! Will hurry!!! DP

Deino, I've been on travel for work since the second week of March. I'm back on Friday, so I hope to get some work done on this. I was tempted to pic up a couple of Hobby Boss kits for the tail mod's, but I think I'm just going to do the styrene thing and copy the one I have. DP

DUDE. That thing is S&$T HOT!

DUDE, those paddles are SWEEEEEET.
