Then dropped it and broke off the UHF antenna. Oh well, that's easy to fix. I think it weighs about 12 lbs. from all the resin I stuffed into it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I got the tail done, decals didn't fit too well. I hope the 181FW decals fit OK. I am about to use them on a 1/32 jet. Of course, the Fox One sheet is for the Hasegawa 1/32 kit, so I may be about to find myself some trouble. Maybe I should start looking for someone to print me some custom decals??

Bill Staudt Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I’m in with: 1/72 Hasegawa F-16A 906 TFG Wright Patterson AFRES –Repliscale I’m going to backdate it with spare parts from the Revell kit. Realistically it will be Feb-March before I can get started, but I wanted to throw my hat in the ring now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 First one (Hobby crap CT-142) is finished. Real dog of a kit. Truely awful. Second time built. First one was tossed years ago. This is better but not by much. Photos to follow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I grew up adjacent to the base watching those things buzz around every day. Now, most of them are at AMARC or with Israel. Looking forward to this build. Which jet are you doing?

jmel Posted December 29, 2006 Author Share Posted December 29, 2006 Any idea why this plane has the cougar head instead of the rhino?-Bill The rhino didn't come around until about 1990. I think that photo was taken at the 1989 PhanCon, during the transition from the F-4 into the Viper. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewS Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hi all, It's time to make a confession here..... I can't decide which aircraft to do so that I can participate in this sheer genius of a Group Build! I've been a big fan of ANG/AFRES aircraft for a very long time (or at least since picking up a gorgeous small-format book on F-4 Phantoms by Frank Mormillo in the early '90s, among other sources of inspiration) and have followed their development and employment closely ever since. Before I go further, I want to congratulate the originators of this Build and those who've already displayed their work. Also, individuals like Jake have continued to inspire with great photos of various aircraft, Phantoms and Vipers in particular. Unfortunately, I'm still struggling to narrow down to less than twenty the right subject for this project. The choice (an embarrassment of riches) has been narrowed down to the following: an F-4D of the Georgia ANG, an F-4E of the 704 TFS, AFRES, or some F-16s of AZ, MI and/or IA ANG (I hope I have the state abbreviations correct - exact units I'm not so good on). Perhaps it's best to just hope that the end date is fluid! Needless to say, the only constraint is apparently the availability of these markings in 1/72 scale. Cheers, as I'm now off to research the above, Andrew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cobrahistorian Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hey guys, I've had a few changes in my building schedule as of late. I finished the Texas F-16C and wasn't too happy with the outcome. It isn't terrible, but it isn't great. So, I'm putting the D model on hold until I feel the urge to finish it. I got rather discouraged with these two due to some primer issues. In the meantime, I've been doing a lot of research into Navy and Marine Reserves and have gotten my hands on two Monogram F-18A kits. So, I'd like to include two F/A-18A+ Hornets. The first, using the Twobobs Katrina Relief sheet, will be the CAG bird from VFA-204. The second will be a VMFA-142 bird that participated in OIF in 2005. I know its a bit of a change for me, but right now, that's more than welcome! Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Filak Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Jon, A change of pace is good every once in a while; hence my building an F-16. It's actually gotten me out of the tremendous building slump that I was in, and now I try to make time a few times a week to sneak off to the workshop for an hour or two. For a while there, I was actually making excuses not to build anything....:huh: Looking forward to seeing those Hornets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddler Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Hi, I'm in with F-16C 85-1551, which some are building it as a 174FW boss, but i'm going to do it as a 174FS linebird, listening to the name 'Shark Shooter', Iowa ANG All this in 1/72nd with eduards pre painted zoom set, some additional wiring in the gear bays, a homemade air intake and expert choice decals with (lucky me) the crew names on the sheet which were assigned to the jet Hope to get this bat ready before the deadline Cheers!

Jonathan_Lotton Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 (edited) I'm in with a new one: Hasegawa F-15C backdated and in the markings for a F-15A of the Florida Air National Guard Edited February 7, 2007 by ViperTomcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ResinBuilder Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I wanna join in on the fun, how about a 1/48 Monogram F-84 "Old BlanketAss" from the Peoria Illinois ANG here just across the river from me. Resin Builder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkeogh Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Duplicate post here. I posted in the wrong area by mistake. My ProModeler P-47N has finally arrived to go with my ProModeler decals featuring National Guard Thunderbolts. Of the three States on the sheet, I chose Georgia because it is close to my home State of South Carolina and because it is the most colorful example. I've heard some good and some bad about this kit. Hopefully assembly will go OK. -Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mkeogh Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Well, I just found an incompatability between my chosen markings (GA-ANG) and the ProModeler P-47N. The GA-ANG aircraft was a P-47N-25-RE and the ProModeler P-47N is an earlier example with the navigation lights on the wingtips at the leading edge. P-47N-25s had the lights moved to the center of the tips (according to the kit instructions). So instead, I'll be doing a P-47N-15-RE from the Pennsylvania ANG.
