  1. Hi all, bit of a long shot, but figured I'd ask - I recently bought a Kitty Hawk Mirage F1CT/CR, but didn't realize the clear sprue had been crunched - I'm looking for the two main canopy parts (windshield and main canopy). Don't have the part numbers off hand, but will update with those when I can. I'm also looking for the engine cowl for a Tamiya 1/48 P-47 kit (mine is missing), and ideally, the fuselage spine parts with the dorsal fin extension from the P-47M kit. If anyone happens to have any of these bits they'd be willing to part with, I'd be happy to pay a r
  2. Bump: removed sold items, added a couple others; will probably be adding a few more as I continue to downsize.
  3. I hadn't planned on doing any build of the "Red River Hog," but might have to after a recent experience... looking forward to this release!
  4. Looking to clear out some kits that I know I'll never get to; reasonable offers accepted; open to trades, including multiple kits for one, if you have something I want. Paypal preferred, can also do cash or other means, if necessary. Would prefer to keep shipping within the US, shipping costs not included. Shipping from 98374, via USPS (flat rate boxes, which will generally run $8-15.00 per box, unless requested otherwise). *Shipping Calculator links added at bottom* PM or respond to this thread if interested, or email at joshuapkaiser "AT" gmail. My trade interests are mostly limi
  5. Hi all, One of the many projects I've got going currently is a set of five Hasegawa 1/200 C-130s - all have started life as C-130H kits, but I'm planning on converting/modifying them to create several different variants, including an MC-130H, KC-130T, and possibly L-100-30. As such, I've got a lot of scratch building ahead of me, but wanted to check to make sure I'm not missing something. From what I can tell, there's basically nothing out there by way of aftermarket, short of some six- and eight-bladed props available on shapeways (which have me seriously tempted...), and decals aren't m
  6. Jumping back to the Boeing T-38s, I would love to see either of theirs, or their CT-133s done in 1/48; I've photographed all four auite few times, and they'd make for some neat variation on the shelf... All would need some minor detail updates and alterations, but nothing too crazy.

  7. Hi all; I picked up a Tamiya P-47D "Bubbletop" kit awhile back, and finally got around to looking in the box this weekend, and It looks like there are a couple parts I'll need in order to build the version I'm planning on. First, and most critically, I'm in need of the main engine cowl, part B42. I'm also hoping to build a later bubbletop version (actually a restored warbird) that has the later extended dorsal fin. I'd be more than willing to trade the "un-finned" upper fuselage parts from my kit (H1 and H6), if someone has a set of the later parts they'd be willing to
  8. Oh boy... I thought I had good plans for my two Revell Mudhens, but of course now I've got to either change that decision, or get myself another kit... I got to see two of those jets earlier this year up close - couple interesting details I got from talking to the crew: The mission markings on "Tiger One" are a "tribute" to the CO, whose callsign was "GOAT". The noseart itself almost appeared to be done in chalk or something similarly temporary, and was very heavily faded. TIGER ONE by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr -333 was known as "Triple Cripple" due to bo
  9. One of the three heritage birds from Lakenheath was a C, but was painted in the same dark gray (36118) as the two Es, I assume for consistency's sake. I don't remember ever seeing a "Light Gray" Eagle in anything other than the standard grays (besides the ASB, aggressors, and some of the early experimental stuff, of course) otherwise, but wouldn't mind being proven wrong - the F-15 looks good no matter what color it is!
  10. Any more details on what would be required? I've got the K kit as well, but was thinking of converting it to either an MH-60S or a HH-60G... Or maybe just a straight UH-60L...
  11. Not today, but yesterday... got to see quite a few pretty cool things, including one of the F-16s that was scrambled over DC on 9/11... ALOMA 21 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr WESTERN AIR DEFENSE by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr ...And the couple days before weren't too bad, either: VIPER VAPOR by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr BLACKSHEEP 11 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr 166933 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr F-FOURTH-U by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr ...Nor was a couple weekends ago: RAPTOR 1 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr
  12. I'm possibly interested in the F-16 package - how far along is the started kit?
  13. Sorry for the delay, but thanks a lot, guys! Falcon, that walk-around was great; some better angles on a lot of details than what I had previously. And Dave, those pics are fantastic as well; that first one especially; gives me a much better starting point than what I had, at least! I've been working on some other projects while I continue to gather references on this one, one of which is experimenting with resin casting... Pretty fun, but a bit of a learning curve, to say the least! Should make a lot of my "multiple" builds (6 F-15s, 4 F-16s, and a lot more planned) go a lot quicker, though!
  14. The second thing I'm looking for is photos that show the areas behind the seats, like the center glareshield, and the area behind the rear seat. the few photos I have show that there is a lot more going on that what's included in the kit, but not enough for me to commit to cutting plastic just yet. As for my plans for the kit, I'm building it as one that I've got a particular affinity for, namely 168000, which I got the chance to poke around quite a bit back in 2014, including sitting in the gunner's seat - I took a few "walk-around" detail photos, but of course, this was long befo
  15. Hi all, I'm currently working on my KH 1:48 AH-1Z, and am in the process of adding some detail to it - I've never liked having open photoetched screens with nothing behind them, and on the Cobra, there are a couple that are particularly obvious, because you can see daylight through them. As such, I want to avoid having an empty hole on my model, so I'm looking for photos of what's behind these particular grates: I don't necessarily need extreme detail, but I'd like to at least get an idea of what's behind them, particularly the general location of the structure inside (e.g. is it a

  17. On second thought, I went back and double checked my emails - I noticed I have a receipt from PayPal, but when I log in to your site to check my order status, it doesn't show any recent orders; it may be that I signed in using a different email address than usual, but I can't find anything other than the PayPal receipt in any of the inboxes I can access currently. I'm guessing just a backlog in processing orders, but Just wanted to double check and make sure something didn't get screwed up on my end during the order process - the PayPal invoice is dated April 14, and I can pm/email if you need
  18. Still waiting on mine, but I waited awhile to order, so that's to be expected, and I know it'll be 100% worth the wait! I've got a D and 4-5 C's, plus your Test Vipers and Heritage Vipers sheets that are just waiting on some better references! 🙂
  19. Not today, specifically, but these were all over the past week: This Miramar-based UC-35 is not an uncommon visitor to my area, but until last week, I'd only ever seen it parked - I got lucky on my way home from work, and happened to catch it on final just before the sun went down. GRIZZLY 39 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr The next day, I got off work a few minutes early, and made it just in time to catch this KC-46A doing some pattern work on a pre-delivery test flight - I'm hoping this becomes a common sight as production ramps up, since I'm not able to get up to BFI or
  20. So far as US 'Hooks go, I'd love to see this one in decal form, in case I ever get around to building one... U.S. Army CH-47D 91-00261 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr U.S. Army CH-47D 91-00261 by Josh Kaiser, on Flickr It's still (to my knowledge) the oldest operating airframe in the U.S. Army inventory - it was slated to be donated to the Museum of Flight in Seattle a couple years ago, but that still hasn't come about. I've got quite a few walk-around photos and close-ups of most of the markings (including a couple unique interior details), if that wo
  21. Oh, what the heck - count me in; I'll have to double check the stash to see if I have anything to contribute this year
