Spectre711 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Just got started on this the other day and have only assembled the wings and painted cockpit parts and so on. I probably will not move as fast as some of you but you never know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benner Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I built this kit when I was in highschool ... I thought it was a pretty good kit then. What are you using for decals? kit options? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Pete said he could help me with the tail code but otherwise I plan on utilizing the kit decals. Not sure on options since I'm on a budget right now so the aftermarket is most likely out of the picture. If I can find more reference photos I'll see what I can scratch. Kit comes with 66-0051 from Mountain Home (MO) so I will build it as 66-0015 of Upper Heyford (UH). Here is one and an other.

Pete Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hey Ed, decals are finally on their way. I didn't store them where I usually store my decals, so that's why it took a bit longer. Love to see this beauty finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-130CrewChief Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Good start on this. Any updates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Noting, been tied up so I haven't done anything since the initially post. I did pick up a Tamiya A-10 though that I might build in the GB. No rush Pete! Edited August 11, 2010 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I did not know the Monogram kit came with Mountain Home decals. Do you know if the most recent boxing of the kit comes with Mountain Home decals? I need to find some MO decals for my Hasegawa EF-111. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spectre711 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Do you know if the most recent boxing of the kit comes with Mountain Home decals? I need to find some MO decals for my Hasegawa EF-111. Not sure about the most recent issue. This issue has a copyright date of 1984 on it so I bought it before DS. Do you just need the MO? If so then I could send you the ones I have since I will not need them. Send me a PM. Edited August 14, 2010 by Spectre711 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
magister Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hello Spectre, Modeldecal 91 proposes decorations with UH code and personal badges but she's still available on the net. I take a ticket to follow you ... Alain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Unfortunately I haven't gotten too far with this one. Life got in the way and then the cold weather set in. I recently picked up a spray booth thanks to Ernest but I don't think I'm going to finish this one over the weekend. I'll take a picture and post it and we will see how much I get done by the 28th. Forgot to mention that my anniversary is also this weekend so we will see how much time I get for myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) Was going to try and blast this one out when I realized Saturday morning that time would not allow for proper cure/dry times on the coatings. I then found this page with great detail shots. Since the deadline will be long past I figured I might as well try to add some detail to this bird. Congratulations to all of those that managed to at least get one kit done and all the others that at least got started. Maybe I'll give it a go when there is a 25th anniversary.

Spectre711 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 It's been a long time but I finally got back to the raven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Cool! Good to see some progress on it. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks Pete, Did some more with the EF-111A. I made a new pitot tube with stretched sprue, Painted some more, attached the wheels and started to apply decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 What a journey it was with this one from not finishing on time to losing the decals and haveing to aquire new ones. Then I had to dig up photos to know where they went because I couldn't find anybody that could scan the decal instructions that came with the issue of the decals. Here it is.
