phasephantomphixer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Does anyone know where I can get some boarding steps like those by the F-16 there in 1:72 scale? I posted photos of my trip to NAS Miramar in the Research forum and would like to do a dio of that scene of the two tomcats sitting on the appron. Any searches made so far have only given reference to specific ladders for specific aircraft. So if someone knows where I could get one of those generic steps in 1:72 scale, it would be a great help.

B-17fan Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'm hoping someone can identify the AGE, and its purpose, in the background of this photo. It obviously has a cab and the door is open. This would have been the F-4C era at the 183rd TFG, circa early to mid '70s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phasephantomphixer Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Posting a request for a walk around of the tow tractor or "Bobtail" of the square headlight Jeep. Don't know the designation, but used by Age during the late 80's early 90's. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

onosendai Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thx for the images, very useful, i'm involved in a future resin production of ground equipment, one subject it's just the MJ1, from early Vietnam era to late model, a couple of CAD sketch in the very-very early stage.

31Tiger Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Allright! We really need a new MJ-1 in all scales. The 1/48th from esci is a bit basic. I think KMC did one in 1/32 ?? but it is impossible to find these days Will post some more stuff from the Spangdahlem Open house 2011 (ammo carts and other AGE stuff) this weekend Mark, Edited February 16, 2012 by 31Tiger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
