Cool discoveries between the various kit releases and age. Crazy how flat the wings got over time. Nice recovery.

That Black Ops 3D Productions is awesome! Thanks for pointing them out. Just followed them and will make an order. -Jeff

Oh wow!! Totally cool. I honestly didn't think jets. Thank you for the work to clarify their origin. Maybe I can buy one from him and bring it back to Tn. -Jeff

Currently staying at an Air BnB in DeFuniak Springs,Fl visiting my daughter. Walking my dogs this morning, I found a pile of these covers. Right away I figured they were for a helo. Trying to figure out the type though. Internet failed me. Part numbers 5578293-501 & 5578453-502

👍Good deal!

I'm curious to know where you had the difficulty. Where were the joins between the Tamiya and Matchbox fuselage? Thats a story in itself. But it is also good that you found a solution and will proceed. -Jeff

Keep those F-5s coming, Fred. Great work on them. -Jeff

Nice progress update Steve. -Jeff

Another great project to follow and enjoy. As Steve said, your ability to use self-made 3D parts really add a lot to your builds. Glad you're back at it. -Jeff

Looking in another spot. Just letting you know. -Jeff

Hiya Bob. I think I've got both 1/48 Hasegawa A-4B and a C. Let me dig tomorrow in the light and get back to you. -Jeff

Just thinking out loud. We've seen the photos of a few F-22s and F-35s sporting some mirror finishes on select panels, to improve their IR and Radar returns. If HG V is such a great coating, why not apply it to the Raptor as well? The Viper got it. Unsure if the F-15EX is being coated with anything. -Jeff

I remember the first time I saw ne of these kits in a shop. Immediately grabbed it, as it was so unique. Until I saw the price. In the late-90s it was marked something close to $50+. Happy watching you return to it and move it forward. -Jeff

Coffee in hand and enjoying your progress Steve. Great stuff. -Jeff

Time for a new coffee build. I drink the coffee, you build!!
