phantom Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Next the most recent kill . Last years SU-22 shot down by a CVW-8 VFA-87 F-18E. Trumpeter kit with Speed Hunter decals. The decals should be released in the next week, so by the time I order and they are mailed to me I should be near ready to use them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

airmechaja Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I'm still watching even though I've moved on. How is that Trump kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 So far so good. Did Easter today so no modelling. Maybe some more after church tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi, Interesting, with my Panther and this Super Hornet we'll have the first and the latest USN Mig/Sukhoi Killer represented in this GB. Jake will be producing a pretty cool sheet there, I like the VF-103 anniversary CAG with the silhouettes of the previously flown types. I have the Furball version for 1/48. Cheers, Stefan.

phantom Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 I have the Furball sheet as well. Plan was to do this in 1/48, but there are SEVERAL Es I want to do from the CVW-8 sheet. So the Su killer gets the big scale treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Tanks!. The putty was required for under where the wings are going. Also quite a bit at the joint for the front fuselage. The wheels and tails are not glued in yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
