SPOOKY

Hey guys. I am wanting to get back into the hobby, so I am curious who you use for online retailers, that have good selection of models and supplies. I do 1/72 scale acft. Thx

I work on the C-27J here at Robins AFB and it was mentioned as being one of the casualties of the budget cut. I hope not.

I just got the 1/72 scale C27J Spartan from Italeri. I am an A&P mechanic on the C-27J here at Robins AFB, Ga so i was very excited when i opened it. hohoho

Anyone know if there is a C-27J out there? I am an A&P on them and would like o build one. Thanks

Looking for a 2 seater canopy for a 1/72 Hasagawa F-18 Hornet. It got lost somewhere between Florida and Georgia where i now live. Thanks

Any one have a good way of simulating the color of the seeker head in the front? Thanks

Along the same lines, but how about doing the same unit, but in different aircraft? i.e... as they transistion from one type of aircraft to another. You could then do a grouping of a particular unit and the aircraft it flew. My 2 cents

Any one know which is the better of the 2? 1/72 A-7 or the Hasagawa A-7 in 1/72 scale? TIA

The starboard pattern was what the box top patrially showed. I did not have any other reference and i did not have the instruction sheet, which usually shows the top side view. So i had to improvise a little. The guns barrels on the one side were bent i received the kit and i was little afraid of trying to correct them, for fear of breaking them off. I bent the cloth's hanger using one of my kitchen chairs, since it was rounded on the chair back, and bent i it until i was reasonably happy. Thanks for the comments.

This is my recently completed Revell 1/72 P-47. It was given to me with the cockpit assembled and the gear doors glued in place on the wings. I always wanted to do an inflight acft, so what better time. There were no instructions, so i freelanced on the pattern, i think it's close though. This was my first Revell P-47, and will not be my last. It went to gether very well and has some really nice detail. I always liked the blue P-47's. The base is a $.49 piece from a craft store and the rod, is nothing more then a clth's hangar cut to size. Hope you like.

Any one know of any after market F-106 decals in 1/72? Thanks

11/72 KP Mig-21 in Iraqi markings. Hope you like.

iHere is another pic of the A4.

Here is my 1/72 KP Mig-21. It has good shape to it, it required some filler and the vertical stab was bent at the top, so i tried using hot water to soften it and bend back into shape - it didn't work, the tip snapped off. It is in Iraqi markings. I still need to attach the canopy. The A4 is the 1/72 Italeri i built a long time ago. I never really liked the way it turned out, so i decided to giv it a face lift with a new paint job and decals from the spare pile.

I used the sharpies awhile back to try pre-shading -- Don't do it! it turned out great at first, but after a few days, the black started to show thru one of the best paint jobs i ever accomplished. The more time that went by, the more the black showed.
