With 3D printed prototype needle nose… Rick L.

Since the Blackbox products were traditional cast resin, I image that the last molds are beyond their life expectancy. Who has the masters? Did they go with the new Squadron? Probably would be better to get someone to engineer 3D print on demand replacements for the RM Century series. I could see a decent demand for that. There’s a lot of them in stashes, and even though newer kits are out there, most of them are Trumpeter and are afflicted with their apathy regarding shape and correctness. (The Kinetic F-104s are a welcome exception) We modelers being mostly older still are nostalgically bu

My Italeri B-58 from 1994 still has a viable Testors Metalizer finish, however some seams have reappeared and the Microscale decals are lifting in places. No clear coat, no primer. Rick L.

There were some massive spam/giberish/suspect links posted by a "new" member in separate posts. Since then, a thousand flea infested camels have mated in this person's jockey shorts drawer and his mother's combat boots are now permanently relocated to his posterior. We hope. Rick L.

Just Googling "special KC-135" will give one a huge number of recent schemes worthy of decal attention. Finding out which ones are being done will take a bit longer. Rick L.

The clearance between that pod and the 117s looks minimal. Rick L.

I wholeheartedly support this. Rick L.

Jail time and a record aren’t that appealing. Rick L.

Canberra. I’m in. Rick L.

Shades of Attic resin kits, where you start with a belt sander and a shot of courage. Rick L.

Lovely! Rick L.

How much of a project was it to put the Pavla cockpit in? I played with one for a few minutes and it didn’t exactly behave. I’m sure I can get it eventually, but just curious if there are secrets. Rick L.

I have no interest in loosing ARC either. It’s been home for me since the old BBB board. I just worry that some Saturday morning we all wake up and check in to find nothing but a 404. That’s if Steve decides he’s done with it and doesn’t care about letting someone else take over. Which may have already happened. Nobody knows anything at this point. It would really suck. And to whom it may concern: if anyone is seriously looking at starting another forum for whatever reason, I understand the need for advertising but if you let it drive the ship like Hyperscale on Tapatalk I

Very Classic Airframe-esque. But cleaner artwork. Rick L.
