I remember there were a few discussions about these two sheets when they first came out, and if my memory serves me right the TwoBobs was way off the mark.

I remember seeing this car on the tracks. Wonderful job!

Reading a book about the Japanese invasion of the Aleutian Islands and started going down a rabbit hole of models built of it. I know this an old subject but it’s too beautiful to not comment on it. I don’t think I’ve ever considered adding a Ventura to my collection, but this has changed my mind. If you can recall Russ, how did the construction of the kit go? Any useful tips?

That is a really impressive amount of detail in the cockpit for a manufacturer's kit release. I am even more glad I got one of the Royal Class boxings.

Sounds like you had a relatively simple and straightforward build Dave. It looks fantastic. Kinda makes me wanna do one now myself!

Just for clarification, what are you wanting to do exactly? Build a F-14 Tomcat in markings that depict Maverick's jet from the movie Top Gun? There are plenty of excellent kits in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale to choose from, as well as some aftermarket decal sheets to do this.

I think I enjoyed reading about your Skyhawk build just as much as looking at the photos! Nice job!

Thanks for the additional pictures! Very outstanding piece of work you did indeed. I’m somewhat curious and slightly confused simultaneously. I did a quick search for Lt. Patton, and according to a Facebook page dedicated to him, he was a B-17 crewman. So how does he end up as a KIA whilst flying a P-51?

I’m not exactly a fan of the F-35 when it comes to models and don’t ever plan on adding one to my collection, but this is actually really cool. Very well done. I think what makes it even more interesting is that the 18th Aggressor Squadron is being reflagged as a Fighter Interceptor Squadron now.

Any chance of more photos of the model itself? I’m a Patton also (no relation) and this would make an amazing project to do myself.

This is cool. I like the red. Are those supposed to be 501st markings?

I've always wanted to add one of these to my collection.

My favorite version of the Scooter. Great job.

I ordered 4 sets 😁

Wow! Just wow! I saw one fly over my house last week and this is super cool! Great job and effort Jon.

Interesting build. Very nice and great job. Is it supposed to be a whif?

the gentleman helped with research on the subject and was sent a sample kit apparently.

Whoa! MORE Eduard WWII goodness this year?! My bank account can’t take that much more plastic heaven.

I ordered the Royal Class boxing. Figured why not as I’ve never had anything so fancy and complete in one package before. With all the decal options, and the current amount of decal sheets I already have for the B/C airframe, I’ll just buy more Tamiyas and Eduard overtrees after it’s all said and done.

This conversation got super serious.

All of these posts were removed by the admin because someone continuing to bash another manufacturers product whilst seemingly advocating for one from a manufacturer that they have a connection with. Again I suggest that claims of the GWH being the ‘holy grail’ of A-10 kits in quarter scale are backed with evidence instead of just saying it. Show us comparisons with the actual aircraft, the Academy or other kits, and the GWH kit. I am almost to the point where I no longer want to buy the GWH kit because of reading the comments from one individual in almost every model forum regarding it.

I'm good. You are dowling out the critiques, I suggest you use evidence to back them up.

45 degrees on a horizontal plane would be insanely obvious even to the most casual observer. Why has this not been more widely discussed if it is such a glaring issue? I know and understand that this thread is for the new GWH A-10 (which I do plan on spending my hard earned $$ on), but what you are saying needs to be addressed. Could you show us a comparison of the Academy, what you are using as a reference for the GWH as I know its not out yet, and the real aircraft?

This was actually pretty darn funny, and you did a fantastic job on the 190. Quite a bit long winded, but nevertheless it was amusing. Welcome to the airplane club.

I suppose I’m going to have to order the ResKit stuff in bulk as I’ve got a lot of Thuds to build. That stuff is gorgeous!
