The cuff where the blade flares out down to the prop dome is black too. Depending on how new the prop is kinda determines the shine of the black. Cheers....Ron

There's for sure room for some "engineering" to make it stronger. I think I will build mine with just the fuel tank in the forward bomb bay and the other two empty like she's just sitting on the ramp at Ellworth enjoying the day waiting for her crew to go fly. Cheers...Ron

I had bought the Metallic Details gear set (just the gear) on Ebay and then read later that it wouldn't support the built model. But if it will then that's good info. I was going to use the MD gear as a guide to try and put the brake lines on the kit gear but now I won't have to do that. I was in Oman and got pictures of "Seek and Destroy" that are on the Two Bobs decals. I want to build mine like that jet. The pilot took my American Flag on the mission with him. Cheers...Ron

2 seater in the red, white and blue origional "lightweight fighter" paint! I saw them at Edwards way back and though it looked really good. Cheers....Ron -
The Thunderbirds F-4E and Blue Angels F-4J Thread
aircommando130 replied to Ben Brown's topic in Jet Modeling
That's a gorgeous BA F-4J Scott! I have seen pictures with a few of those J's with short burner cans too. This is great info as well. Thank you to everybody for sharing info about a great aircraft. Cheers...Ron -
Swimmer that is a beautiful B-1B! I have a ton of aftermarket for mine too. And like a dumbass I bought the metallic details...just the landing gear only to find it won't support the model. I have a spare set of wings and the extended flap/slat set to do...hopefully I don't mess that up! The B-1 in 48th scale is really neglected as is the C-130. Maybe Reskit will do up some things to "trick it up" Cheers...Ron

Love those "what if" paint schemes! Very god job...the weapons bays are just "wow"! I'm surprised nobody has done the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels in F-35's like the F-4E and F-4J days. Cheers...Ron -

C-130J Fat Albert (New) Cargo Interior Photos
aircommando130 replied to eraucubsfan's topic in Props
Looks like it...the old E models I flew were that color. The MC-130 was black inside...miserable hot inside being stationed out in the Pacific. Then later the MC-130H was done in a dark gray color. Cheers...Ron -
Show us that install...I'm always amazed at people putting light into an aircraft model. Cheers...Ron

That's super awesome! I see some VF-1 helmets in my future!

If you ever heard a 105 light the burner with it's water injection and roar down the runway just the thought of it will forever put a smile on your face. One of the "sounds of freedom" I was able to witness! Cheers...Ron

Awesome work on that Phantom! Oh....USN-RIO/ USAF-WSO for the backseat guys. Sorry...Air Force guy myself. Cheers....Ron

Very cool! It should be sitting on a runway in northern Japan! LOL! Cheers...Ron
