MaRiO FDZ Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Hello fellas. I’m currently building a T-45 Goshawk for this mega project I have in the works, 1/72. ALMOST out of the Box. Couldn’t help myself. Anyway, I need some pointers. I’m trying to make the build either Corpus Christi or Kingsvillr NAS based. I’m mostly into civilian and F1 builds right now so I have no idea what to look for. And yes I’ve googled but I get way too many pictures of which most are from just about any NAS around. And I need them to be specifically Corpus Christi or Kingsville, any markings will do as long as they’re based out of there thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is a 1/72 sheet currently on eBay for a decent price: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125128163084?hash=item1d22383f0c:g:SZoAAOSw1T1h-PPk I can only see UK postage quoted for it - but probably worth asking if they'll mail it to the US.

And I need them to be specifically Corpus Christi or Kingsville, any markings will do as long as they’re based out of there For T-45s just look at the tail codes to tell where they're from. T-45s are only based at three air stations (plus flight test at Pax River MD): NAS Meridian MS - A NAS Kingsville TX - B NAS Pensacola FL - F So you'll want to look for any with a B on the tail. There are none stationed at NAS Corpus Christi, but you'll see them there in/out (and at other areas in the US, both military and civilian airports doing training).

I'm screwed 😕 I could buy and then forward it on to you - it would cost 2 or 3 GBP for postage, but will probably still be your cheapest option... ....send me a PM, if you'd like to go that route...
