  6. Soak the nozzle head with tip in some paint remover
  7. I use 3M perfect it, polish compound very fine, blue top. Its a light blue pasta. A soft toothbrush works great in the start. I use cotton in the later stage.
  8. Afterburner was indeed super but the graphics in the 80's like all games back then was low.
  9. Why don't you sue Shapeways? I find the pricing on items at Shapeways extremely expensive. Almost 50 USD for a 1/72 MB-5 tractor? The frosted plastic is good but reading your story, it will vapourize into dust..?
  10. Looks very cool! Wish this game was there back in the 80s/90s.

  15. picture proof Elephant symbol on splitterplate F-4B. Mission over Laos or Cambodia?
  16. I am looking for an elephant mission symbol. Like a sheet used in WOII with bomb mission markings, ducks, camels, mountains, treetops, etc. Are there any decals concerning this topic? 1/48 or 1/72? Or info/history? I know some camels are printed on a desert storm A-7 sheet 1/48. Duncan
  17. Are these choppers fighting ants in the garden? Say, this Cobra appears much larger than the Loach. Both are on my to-do list...I have the hobbyboss vietnam cobra, way too many parts...ridiculous. more than 200 Cobra's got lost in the vietnam war...wow...

  21. Is this pylon (top one) from an F-4 or F-105? I came across an old spare part... I want to use the Eduard Brassin MER, for a 1/72 F-4J LATE Vietnam era. If not, how does a center pylon looks like used on a F-4J?
  22. Hi, but why the use of this extended metal tube? I read something about vibrations/pressure which set the fuze to go off in the air (above ground). So, this kind of bomb should be dropped at high-pass speed, low attitude? The Tail Retarding Device will slow it down travelling towards ground target. The metal extended tube....must have effect on the fuze to go off? Internet: Developed for United States military forces in the 1950s, it was first used during the Vietnam War. The bomb consists of a cast steel case with 96 lb (44 kg) of Composition H6, Minol o
  23. Interesting news, Thank you Guys for writing. Makes more sense to me now. The F-4s WV, WV...east coast. The CVW / aka base specific. But why extended? https://www.quora.com/How-do-impact-fuses-on-bombs-work ;)
  24. A very small picture of the F-4J I am working on... A couple of questions I have to ask one of you: -When did the F-4J used green tinted windscreen glass? During Vietnam? -I am building VMFA-232, was does WT stand for? Is it a name of a naval (marines) base? ---? The codes are squadron specific? - The mk82 with long fuse, is it used for medium height? What is the purpose of this long fuse? TIA Duncan
