  1. Just saw a 1957 Ferrari Tests Rossa go by. Dunno if it was original but was damn good looking.
  2. Lol I already have decals for all of those aircraft, except the VX-9 turkey. Chalk another point to the "Reasons NOT to buy this kit list."
  3. Wow that's a really impressive paint job you managed to pull off. Congrats!
  4. Someone seriously needs to make a scale rendition of Thomas Magnum to go with this....
  5. I bought a Iwata Ninja for a steal last month but I'm already going to get rid of it and pick one of these up. Not sure which one yet. Anyway these are all the same compressors you see made by other brands but without the proprietary parts by a specific manufacturer. There are quite a few video reviews on YouTube. https://spraygunner.com/compressors/
  6. I am fully aware of the sign that states it is a 3D model and not the actual product. I was merely expressing an observation of said 3D model.
  7. I don't recall the TISEO being that large or pronounced. I'm no hands on expert though so I may be wrong.
  8. Well at least I know I am in good company when I say August 5th is my birthday as well;)
  9. Excellent. The Lion Cub is one of my favorite aircraft. And that's saying a lot as I'm not a fan of the Mirage lol.
  10. Beautiful job! There's so many wonderful color schemes for a VF-111 F-4 and I love how you've managed to do a fantastic job depicting their MiG killer. Very nice. Keep up the good work!
  11. Very very well done. Makes me wanna go buy one and build it.
  12. I just snagged an older IPMS sheet printed by Two Bobs for the 2012 Nats. It's got one of the Homestead F-4Ds on it and these pictures are perfect for reference material. Thanks Sven!
  13. It would definitely add to the smaller details of making a more unique F-4E. I like it! Thanks for sharing Sven.
  14. Love the choice of unit markings! That red really stands out in such a fantastic looking kit you've put together. Cobras rule!
  15. Uh ok? I asked that because you stated it was straight from the rattle-can in your second post. I guess rattle-can means something different in the UK as that's a reference to spray paint here in the states. Either way thank you for the clarification and the build looks amazing so far. Can't wait to see the final product!
  16. And this is all with a spray can?!
  17. Totally using this as guide for my Mudhen.
  18. The first model that I was introduced to was either the Monogram 1/48 B-17 or Avenger. I can't remember which came first as they were so close together. My dad sat in our tiny little dining room in our on base housing and I watched as he built both of them but without paint. They were for me and I "helped" him. I wasn't but 5 or 6 years old. I still can remember observing his technique with the water slide decals on the Avenger. My first model was the Monogram 1/48 UH-1C "Heavy Hog." I was 7 or 8 I think. Different house this time and it had a basement with a living room etc. Anyway I recall rummaging through the storage space and digging into moving boxes. Found this kit and a few others plus a tube of Testors glue. Grabbed the Huey and proceeded to slather it with the model glue until it looked like a completed helicopter. I remember my dad was so wee weed because I did it all without his permission. On the other hand he was impressed that I was able to put it all together without missing pieces. I kept stealing his unbuilt models afterwards.
