BK974 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well well....I will not start building this girl untill my two Israeli's are finished...but the planning and shopping is ON! I got so excited that I had to start a thread about it.... I recently bought a Minicraft 1/144 BONE..it is the A version but still...I really like the lines on this plane..it is just beautiful.... So, with some money secured, I bought the big one....It is still on the way to me, but some of the after market stuff has arrived! You cannot do anything but LOVE the Two-Bobs decals..... And SHULL24 is not disappointing with his SNIPER XR And also the AN/ALE-50 Towed decoy I have also ordered the metal undercarriage and got my sweaty hands on some resin burner-cans on E-bay....these will be here soon I guess! it will rock!

gonzalo Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I got one in my stash with all the goodies PE, Shull resin Sniper and towed decoy, and cutting edge exhaust! Man it is a very big airplane once it is built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The paint should be clarified, it seemed to me, that it is painted so as well as F-15E Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dsmith Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Looks like a fun project. I have one in the stash I hope to build one day too..... It looks like you are going to go all out on the updates, so I thought I might suggest one more set (insert shameless plug here :) I make some resin wheels that correct the kit parts if you are interested Resin Wheels. Good luck! Cheers, -Doug :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxtwo Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 yep...take those wheels...they are perfect ! Pat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FO Hi BK974, I agree with you that TS-48 is dark for US Gunship grey. Their AS-10 is a neat alternative if you can find any. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maly149 Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 or AS-27(?)-gunship grey 2-is a little lighter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BK974 Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 I hope to find as-27. as it looks better for my B1, tried the Royalresin link, but it was dead...anyone know what has happened? I want those wheels as well... FO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
