  1. Time for a bit of catch up on this. Attempting to push this one to the finish line for this month's club meeting for "Shelf of Doom". It was never really relegated to SoD status, but certainly got set on the back burner.
  2. I think I have a kit of that.... Edit: I lie. It was a Hs129 B-3. And it was "only" a 75mm cannon, not an 88.
  3. I may or may not have acquired an EA-6A conversion recently. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for another HB A-6A/E in the future.
  4. Not to much to look at, as it's all fit/finish work as I'm edging closer to the paint stage. Nose fitted and blended in...we'll see how it looks after some primer. I suspect I'll be doing a little more blending work there. Also working on pre-assembly & fitting of the engines prior to paint. These buggers take a bit of time, careful cutting, and some fiddling. But with how big & open they are, I should see a fair return on time investment.
  5. Both IR & radar R-40s were carried and typically fired in pairs. The IR first, followed by the radar guided. The RD (radar guided) is the one with the pointier nose.
  6. Yeah, that. I’m at work so not staring at the box. Should probably fix the spreadsheet too.
  7. Plenty of GBs I’m either interested in or have something in the stash (at least 14). After loading the GBs into a spreadsheet and seeing how they space out over the year, the following are currently the primary focus. WWII Twins - Ki 45 Kai “Nick” **NATO** - CF-104 Starfighter Project Cancelled - F-107A Mirage III STGB - IAF Mirage IIICJ or Belgian Mirage 5BR As always, subject to change & additions.
  8. Still not likely by the 17th...but it will help the chances at any rate. I took too long of a hiatus.
  9. Been some time since I've been able to work on this. But found a little time & motivation to make a couple more steps forward.
  10. Love the build Dave. Thanks for the comparison to the Z-M. I’ve been on the fence of waiting for a Z-M late E…or biting the bullet on the Meng. I don’t “need” one right now, so I may just wait…unless a Meng pops up for a deal I can’t refuse.
  11. Love nostalgia builds. Not sure I remember my first...maybe a Harry Gant stock car.
