Thank You All Very much for the positive feedback. There were some very real challenges with the model and I was very lucky to get some bits ( landing gear) to align up. I do appreciate you all taking your time to provide feedback . Cheers Bill

Thank you all for the comments. It was a decal monster but that’s why we get these challenges. Happy New Year …Let’s build on… Bill

Good bye 2023..7 Jets, 10 Props and a Ship Busy Year and yet the inventory seems to stay level.. Revell Tornado Out of box ,including Decals Very Nice kit and well engineered.. Photos are a bit forgiving with some of the decal settling items. The tanks can move along with the wings able to rotate( Looks like tanks are off but they can be adjusted. Thanks for looking Comments always Welcome Happy New Year Cheers Bill

Quite correct…My bad cheers Bill

Thanks for all the feedback Cheers Bill

This is the last of my Active Duty USAF flight models. WPAFB from 1976 to 1979. Older AMtech kit I picked up at the IPMS Nats. in Vegas (fun getting home to Pittsburgh) Normally don't take this long to finish. Thank God for Caracal C-135 Decals (kit Decals were mostly Trash) Mostly "Out of Box" ,but I did insert a Brass I Beam to correct the wing droop issue. A bit of work but the wings are good. The biggest challenge is the size of the aircraft itself. Painting and clear coating filled the entire paint booth, with some items outside the booth. Spinning to get to sections was a pain in the A@@##$%^^&ss She will be PART of the USAF Sig display at IPMS Nats in Madison. Thanks for taking a Look Comments Welcome Cheers Bill D.

Thanks for the Positive comments Cheers Bill

I build based on good stories. USS Emmons support to US Troops landing on Omaha Beach is a good story . Here is a modified Dragon USS Livermore kit to USS Emmons in the configuration(As Far as I can Tell) on 6 June 44. I have done a bit of modification and enhancement but i"ll save space and time and only hit the highlights. I was supported by [email protected] with a 3d printed aft section to reflect correct gun configuration. Huge help for me and my AMS Model symptoms. Tom's Modelworks provided quite a bit of the photo-etching and L'Arsenal was my source for most of the 3d printed weapons. I am not a naval expert so when in Telford in 2022 I purches a few set of destroyer weapons. They are beautiful . I scratch built the forward gun-deck forward&below wheelhouse. This item was quite noticeable on photos I have as reference. (Again Thank you Matt from Krakenhobbies for reference photos) The Uschi Ultrafine line is my go-to for rigging....Love It.. My only nagging issue is Weathering...As I am not a ship expert any feedback/support in this area would be greatly appreciated. I have done only minor weathering on the deck to blend the walkways a little. Suggestions Please? Thanks for looking Comments always Welcome. Cheers Bill

Thanks all for the positive feedback. May be my favorite go-to novel...Love the Iceland spin. Cheers Bill

Thanks for the positive feedback Bill

Thank you for feedback Bill

Thank You All for the Positive comments Adds to the experience. Cheers Bill

This is my second Arma Kit after the 1/72nd Hurricane and I cannot speak enough about this manufacturer. This kit was a dream to build and a wonderful detailed kit. Built straight out of box across the board this was a modelling pleasure . Here was my surprise..Prop and Spinner were the final pieces needed to balance to model on tricycle gear..that was cool (scary at first). Decals were great as was everything in this Kit. Gunze paints and overcoats. Some weathering with pigments only. Thanks for Looking Comments Always Welcome Cheers Bill

Thank you for the positive feedback.Res-Kit exhausts were the great enhancer. cheers Bill

The kit was given to me and believe it is quite old. 1989 is the date I found.

Thank you however the kills are 3 Badgers and 1 RORSAT.. She would want me to be precise 😊 Cheers Bill

Thanks All Even though You can't see it in Photos I put a patch where the exploding ASAT would have punctured the left wing....I did have fun with this project. Cheers Bill

Thank You Good Luck Finding a 1/48th ASAT Weapon. I looked for a couple of years to no avail . Cheers Bill

Thank You The ASAT came with the AMT kit. Cheers Bill
