I get the same way with Civil War arguments. No worries. I'll still put a dinosaur in there if you don't watch it! LOL The T-rex is accurate, saw it in a Calvin and Hobbs strip once. Now, the scale was off. I had to cut off most of his body or he would have looked crazy tiny in there (with his body completely fitting in the ejection seat). John

So I'll run engraved lines around them and sand them flush then. Calm down or I'll but a plastic dinosaur in the cockpit! LOL I've done it with an F-14 (T-rex pilot and some smaller dino as the backseater). I think I'm one of Alvis's relatives. John

Good deal, thanks guys. I've heard the BDR patches need to be sanded off. If they aren't for a line aircraft what was their purpose on the subject that Tamiya used for a reference? Just patches for holes on the bird to prep it to be a gate guard? John

Hey folks, I'm seriously thinking about picking one of these monsters up. After reading several reviews though, I can't find out if it has raised panel lines or not. It does for the BDR patches, but other than that I can't find anything. Also, in looking I saw that the Tamiya F-4j was updated in 2010. Was this kit? If so, what boxing should I look for to get the updated version? John

I'm sure you could get around it, but technically it is illegal. Even if you could pull it off (getting all retailers to comply and skirting the law) you'd at the very least generate alot of animosity from customers. A similar thing happened here in Lubbock recently. We were a dry country with a few area exceptions (no beer, wine, or hard alcohol sold inside city limits {restaurants were allowed}. The most prominent of these exceptions was the Strip, an area just outside of the city limits when a row of stores that sold alcohol. Since the stores at the strip were pretty much the only

In the Heart of the Sea is fantastic. I assign that one in my classes quite a bit. Philbrick recently published a book on the Little Bighorn (The Last Stand) that i've been wanting to read. Can you imagine being with Pollard on the Two Brothers and hitting that reef after going through the ordeal with the Essex? John

For a while I thought that Phil's work was from a division of revell. I like Phil's stuff, but not the best choice in a name. I'm sure that KFC would not be happy if I opened a restaurant and called it KFC - Kentucky Fried Creatures. John

I ran across this site: http://www.dm.af.mil/questions/topic.asp?id=1105 If you actually have any luck with it, let us know. I'd like to have a chunk of something. John

Maybe the Flying Bulls will sponsor one of them. Part of the contract would require that the astronauts film themselves every couple days after drinking 3 Red Bulls each. :) Red Bull gives you wings and can send you into orbit! John

I heard something about that earlier. Not sure what's going on either. LOL John

I'll swing by the hobby shop. Thanks! John

Can these be saved somehow? Maybe spraying them with future or a clear coat? John

Do you cut your MEK with anything (water it down)? I tried it once, and it worked fine, but the smell was a little harsher than Tenax, etc so it kinda worried me (not that breathing Tenax is likely much better). John

Was he still with the Clansmen when he was shot down, or when he went to the Oriskany did he join another squadron? I was thinking that just McCain transferred. John

Yep, bought my son an ant farm at Toys R Us for Christmas (maybe not the classic ant farm, it was filled with a gel that gives them nutrients and water). Ants got here last week in the mail. John

Are these markings still available anywhere? I'd like to build a couple from the sheet, but a quick search makes it look like they're long sold out. Or does anyone make markings for the Saints or Clansmen? John

I used to work at UPS and supposedly someone at the other end of the hub heard a parrot making noise in a box one night. Not saying you should mail live animals, but dang, parrots are expensive! Another night, someone accidentally dropped a box of cocaine that broke open (big box too, it was one of the "over 70 pound" variety - they have a big yellow sticker if they're over 70). John

Your grandfather was a genius. I'm stealing that line! John

We had about 1 inch of snow here in Lubbock, Texas. All schools have canceled and Texas Tech started 3 hours late. One of my students emailed me about 30 minutes ago saying that since he lives about 45 minutes north of here, he won't be in class tomorrow. Wow, they must have gotten a whole inch and a half there. Now, get this... I teach several online history classes for a university in Missouri. Tonight we were supposed to have a virtual faculty meeting in Second Life for online instructors. THEY CANCELED AN ONLINE FACULTY MEETING BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. LOLOLOLOL John

I'd probably pick up the B-26 when it comes out. My wife's grandfather built them up in Baltimore before he was drafted, so I'd probably build it on the assembly line. In that scale I could probably do a decent job of scratching tools and having figures working on her. I've seen shep paine's diorama of a b-26. I'd probably do mine with one of the wings off and the other being attached. John

Would you just have to scratch the nose for that? Or is there a kit with those? Now that I've seen it, I wouldn't mind building one of those (don't you hate it when that happens? haha). John

Looks good. I've always wanted to do one of those as a refugee truck.

Looking for the whole kit. Thanks anyway though Fred. Bruce, PM sent.

Hey folks, Anyone have one of these? I've seen the 1/48 Lindburg kits, but I'm quickly moving into 1/72 land. John

Is this feasible or pretty much altogether wrong? If it is, I'll go ahead and build it as a Japanese Phantom, but I'd like to use the decals for a different project and make this one a drone. John
