    I haven't thrown in the towel.....yet.

    Scooter Corral.

    Sadly no. Been too tied up with other "projects" and weekend trips. I haven't even found time to finish up decals on the RF-4...... Pitiful I tell ya. Just pitiful.

    I may have a "few" in the stash.....
  5. helios16v
    Whatever it takes to wake you up!

    A little bump for a what could've been.

    Sorry for the delay, I was out of town this weekend. Sounds right up the alley. I'll get you added.

    I'm there! I'm just going incognito as Helio.

    Nope, you haven't missed it. It starts at the end of the month.

    Fixed it for ya. A couple of my favorite birds as well.....which is why it's rather surprising that I haven't built one yet (soon to be remedied w/ completion of an RF-4E).
  11. helios16v
    I concur.

    Picked up some Model Master Metalizer paints this weekend to experiment with once the decaling is complete. Speaking of, the topside is complete (which is the largest percentage of them), only 3 more sides to go.

    Looking wicked.

    Now that's a unique looking Phantom.

    Damn MM, you're gonna be done before I even get started.

    Very nice! Worth the wait.
  17. helios16v
    That's looking pretty damn cool.

    Wire bundles out of the circuit breaker box. The tape is to create a non-smooth surface to mimic the wire jackets/covers.

    Yeah, they look like very nice kits that need very little out of the box. I've got a couple in my stash that I snagged when they popped up on sale.

    Looking good. Decal setting solutions can always be hit or miss. I've got a few different ones, and try to start off on the conservative side...gradually moving up to "hotter" solutions as needed. I've made the mistake before going straight for the red bottle of Micro-Sol...then watching the decal shrivel and melt in a matter of seconds (and I have a bottle of hotter stuff for those thick stubborn decals). Whoops.

    Love the stand!

    Shoot them an email. I touched bases w/ my vendor last December to make sure I was still on his list for whenever they arrive. Patiently waiting...mostly because it'll likely be sitting in the stash for a while until I get around to it anyways.

    Nice choice @Rabbit Leader. I built a 77 Sqn lizard a couple years back with a Kinetic kit. I recall the kit being a bit fiddly (particularly around the intakes), but all in all I enjoyed the build. But then again, I'm one that likes a little bit of tinkering when it comes to building. They just aren't as much fun if you shake them out of the box and they just fall together. I actually built straight out of the box (aside from the Caracal Decals) with no AM.

    Keep trying to figure out if I have anything in the stash for 1975. Maybe the 911 Turbo? Guards Red, Black, or Grand Prix White would be too easy. Perhaps a period color such as Sahara Beige, Peru Red, or Lime Green? Hmmm.

    DDG-53 was one of the destroyers that was part of our battle group on the '95 deployment, and were instrumental in getting the aircrew back aboard after their Tomcat turned into a fireball.
