Alien made me go for a walk.

We actually haven't upgraded our Pods yet. So we are still using the same one.

I found six pods on our hanger floor. All were sealed in their travel cases. We still have one pod up but that jet won't be back until the evening.

I think I know what Alien is talking about. But the pod does have the opening and isn't fully encapsulated. But I have to take another look.

Hey, if it works in the real world, why not in 1/32 scale, eh? :thumbsup:

Happy New Year.

I thought you might recognize that! I didn't do it any justice..I just slapped it together! I needed to keep the missile off its fins :worship:

Back at cha' for a happy new year. '05 will be better for all of us! :thumbsup:

! Are you using an aftermarket pit?

--Frank

Hi Frank!

...The seat is the Cutting Edge flavor. I've got the Cutting Edge and Black Box pit for this..they are both excellent. I think I'll use the C.E. for this and use the BB next go around :lol:

...Love your P-40 by the way! :cheers: and of course, your Spad is one of my all-time favorites! :cheers::wave: Excellent to hear from you, and your avatar still cracks me up :lol:

Hey Pig,

Nice work on the Hornet. Love them 'tip weights'!! :thumbsup:

I actually got in a little modeling over the break. Got some paint on my 1/48 TMOTA Tiger Jet. I'll post some photos later this week.

Happy New Year to you and the rest of the ARC crowd. :cheers:

BTW are those the Two Bobs decals on the AIM-7?

Thanks Andy!

(Love the progress on your Viper!)

The markings on the AIM-7 are from the Academy kit. A good reference check here is in order, as the long horizontal brown stripes are incorrectly shown in the instructions as going on the AIM-120...

:worship:

hi pete, happy new year.

I am happy to see that you are building the big academy hornet.

I think that you will finish yours before mine :cheers:

The paint job is great on the armament.

Send us a lot of picts it's always a pleasure to see your work in progress :thumbsup:

Holy cow, Pete! (...and a happy new year!!! :) )

You´re coming along nicely! Good idea to start the armament first, then you have the worst part behind you (don´t tell him about the intakes, guys <_< )

Seriously: the intakes are the only parts that cause a little headache, but it´s abolutely doable if you´ve ever finished a 1/48 Hasegawa Hornet. It´s basically the same. As for the ordnance: very nice and detailed paintjob! :)

István :thumbsup::bobby:

Istvan elluded to one of my zen-approaches to modelling: I try to do the things that I dislike the most first, that way I wont rush through them. My theory is if I do the construction that I really don't care for up front, while I'm still motivated about the project, I'll do a better job on the parts I hate to do :worship: Got it?

Anyhoo... I've started the Black Box GBU-12's. I sanded off that Navy non-ablative goo, and opened up the back of the fin assembly (the big hole in the back here)

Hello pig,

what ordonance are you going to do on your bug ?

Hi Richy,

Before I answer, let me say :( :D about your Hornet project. Simply stunning work there my friend! I've been watching your thread & I am blown away. Seems like we are always working on the same model, eh? :cheers:

As far as the loadout goes; this will be a typical Allied Force load:

-2X GBU-12

-2X AIM-9

-1X AIM-7

-3X tanks

- AAS-38 pod

-Chaff/Flare

Regards!

Pig
