@KursadA, Sir, if you ever do another KC-135R sheet (still many markings not done yet), I have another nomination. In my recent travels, I saw a KC-135R of the 6th ARW with the usual MacDill blue tail band, but with a medium sized (~4ft dia) black circle "R" below the American flag, very reminiscent of their B-29As during WWII. I was not able to take a photo or get close enough to determine the serial number, but I will ask around with my tanker buds. In the meantime, here are some links to the 6th ARW flagship, KC-135R 62-3498 circa 2021. MacDill details KC-135, “Spirit of Tampa Bay”

Very nice Fishbed! Love the later marks.

Chris, Beautiful build; nice scheme and well executed. One for the display case. Keep up the great work! K/r, Dutch

Good tip, Skyraider! Will definitely use that one!

And I will third that request for a reprint of the 1/72 AD-5/A-1E sheet.

Hey Andy! Terrific to see you got your Mojo back! Kinda like Austin Powers, huh?

@KursadA, I know that you have been cranking out the B-52 sheets, and we are grateful. Would you consider adding NASA's NB-52H 61-0025 to the mix? Pretty simple markings, tail serial, NASA logo and stripes. Not sure if you want to do the gold outlined dark blue stripe in 1:72 scale, but could do it for the 1/144 release? Just asking. K/r, Dutch

What goes around, comes around, n'est pas?

Oooh! Very Nice! Thanks Jeffery!

Sorry. I typed 1/144 in the search bar and that listing ppopped up, so I assumed it was 1/144. My bad. 😞

Bravo Brett! Way to tackle and work through the difficulties on this kit. The results are very nice indeed! Seems counter-intuitive to place high-viz markings on a drone, but I do like that Texas splash on the tail! Hmm, not sure I want the ANG flying around with live Hellfires, but this is Texas, so maybe okay! We'll say it's open carry and call it a border guard mission! K/r, Dutch

Yes! P-3, Part 1! Which means there will be a Part 2 and possibly a Part 3? I would really love to see a VW-4 WP-3A, a NOAA WP-3D and a USCS/BP P-3 AEW. Not to mention several foreign P-3s that have not been done.

So the envelope showed up today. It was wrinkled and torn, but the contents were undamaged, thanks to Alex's excellent packing technique. However, USPS still shows the following: I left very positive feedback for Alex Aftermarket on eBay, blaming the delivery delay on USCS & USPS. It wasn't his fault. All's well that ends well! Kind regards, Dutch

Nice pic and nice project. Well, let me know if'n you do need anything else.

Don, What about the BLU-27 750# nape in Hasegawa Weapon Set A and possibly some True Details BLU-32 (500#) nape canisters? I may have some of those. K/r, Dutch
