  1. Thanks everyone! I had a blast building it. Give me a few weeks, I've got another "what-if" in the works...
  2. It would be really cool if someone would update the pilot helmets for the A-10C as well. All A-10C's got the new Scorpion HMD this spring and can be seen flying all over the place. That would be nice to have in resin.
  3.

  4. BACK FROM THE DEAD !!!! First off, the meat of this build took place here in the 2009 Whif Group Build: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=173057&st=80&gopid=2441832entry2441832 SO, a LOT has changed since I started this build. Needless to say, life happened, a new house, new baby and even more work travel. That being said, I have made some progress on my F-2S Viper II Went with the twin tails, blended the fuselage, started on fleshing out the wings. With the long weekend this week, I'm going to start the "home stretch" on this I think. Have a look:

  9. Correct on the Mk16E seat on the F-35. Since this pic was taken, the head-pad has changed and the canopy breakers have gotten larger. Here's a pic of the (not-so) current configuration:
  10. I've got pic's up close of the A model, not the B.

  13. Deino, I've been on travel for work since the second week of March. I'm back on Friday, so I hope to get some work done on this. I was tempted to pic up a couple of Hobby Boss kits for the tail mod's, but I think I'm just going to do the styrene thing and copy the one I have. DP
