You might try looking for Caracal sheet CD48101 SR-71/YF-12 part 2. It has the low vis markings for a couple of AC. It is sold out but should be easier to find. Sprue Bros has Warbird decals WBD48044 in stock for $14.99 and it has low vis decals.

Had a look at F-16.net and they have a pic of 92-3886 dated May 19 2003 and it looks like it's in the two tone scheme. Being a 92 bird she probably left the factory in the three tone but was repainted two tone in depot maintenance .

Smith Brothers on Ave I in Lancaster CA. That place warped my fragile little mind.

Has anybody heard when/if Zactomodels is going to reopen?

As far as I know all photos taken by active duty U.S. military members are free use as long as you give credit to the photographer if you publish or use them in ads.

To my untrained eye it looks like Light gull gray FS 16440.

arnobiz the kit is great. It's well detailed with some really small p.e. and decals. The instructions are really good with large clear images. I highly recommend it.

Thank you Bill. That settles the color question thou the instructions call for 24052 Marine Corps green. not to figure out which engine.

I need help from those in the know. I have the new Revell kit and want to replace one of the engines on the stand with the Hypersonic start cart. I'm doing the record breaking flight to D.C. jet in 1990. My question(s) are. what color were the carts at Edwards and which engines did it have the Buick or Chevy? The instructions state most of the Buick were gone by the late 70s but some remained until after the switch from yellow to green. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not entering anything. just going to enjoy the works and the vendor room.

That's great Hawk. I'm planning on going sat as well. Maybe we'll run into each other.

As the title says is anyone on here going to Wrightcon next weekend?

Thank you for the quick responses guys. I thought that all new cockpits were overall black now for NVG use so this is news to me.

Looking at reference photos it looks like the inside of the canopy frame is light ghost gray. Is this correct for current active duty aircraft?

ES I was thinking the same as you. dealing with seams on 2 large pieces sounds better than 6 smaller ones. I've been doing all the sub assemblies I can that don't require PE so far. I have the big Ed set and it's a lot of brass so that's next. Anything I need to watch out for with the PE?
