    Very nice Stuka. In Italy we called it "Picchiatello", a play on words because "picchiata" means dive (i.e. dive bomber = bombardiere in picchiata) but picchiatello also sounds like "little crazy"🤪. Picchiatello was also the italian name of a Jerry Lewis character The italian translation of group is "Gruppo" Just for the sake of my language, I apologize in advance if I should appear pedantic

    Thank You @Col. and @Dansk F-14 engine nozzle "parking" position From "Home of M.A.T.S." I like symmetry so, if I have a choice, I choose this option however there are photos of parked planes in every configuration. I did another tomcat with the open nozzles because I had seen it like this in the picture

    Thank You I know that it is not considered a vehicle up to the standard of other armored vehicles and that it has several critical issues, but I must say that it has some style, as a good Italian. seen live is very beautiful (my pic)

    Hi it should be almost done. I just have to give the satin coat, make 2 aim-7 missiles and redo the aim-9, I don't like the ones I put
  13. Pierpaolo
    Thank You @CT7567 You are completely right. Fortunately I am within the terms of the other Group Build I am participating (simply called "Gulf War" in an Italian modelling site), because it includes the entire period from 2 August 1990 to 28 February 1991 I also have the decals for the VF-154 CAG but the same subject was already built by another participant

    Hi! Some time has passed since the last update, in this time I have completed an armored vehicle that has been waiting for a long time link but I have also almost finished the tomcat! after having mounted the air intakes without problems, I started painting preshading : paint job part 1 At this point I decided to change the subject because in reality I have already done a tomcat of the VF-1 and that's what I like best I still had to choose a plane that had participated in Desert Storm and I chose this one from VF-21 So.. Paint job part 2 Decaling

    Hi! This is one of the first times that I show a model in this section of the forum because I mostly do airplanes and some airplane related AFV I made this armored car to remember a friend who served in the corp it belongs to, the Cavalry Italian Cavalry Regiment "Savoia" Centauro Trumperter 1/35th with resin wheels and aluminium barrel

    @Hook after buying the kit I looked for information on the proposed subjects, the high visibility one I already knew well having done it, of the low visibility one I did not find real photos, indeed, I did not find photos of other subjects who had similar gray markings I joined the fuselage and nose together. luckily I had to use very little putty, the joints are good. the air vents are not glued yet
  19. Pierpaolo
    Thanks @Ale85 , you're doing fine too
  20. Pierpaolo
    Nice choice Check if in the kit there are the pieces N2 and N7, they are the late gun covers with the naca air vents. both nsawc subjects have them like this
  21. Pierpaolo
    Hi! Thank You @Col. and @stevej60 Some little progress I glued the fuselage shells, removed the mould seams on the canopy, polished them and dipped in the Future wax
  22. Pierpaolo
    Hi I also have the same kit but I will not use the decals included because they are wrong .. the hi-viz version had serial 158979 (not 159434) and had a early type beaver tail during the first cruise, in the low-viz version the serial number is definitely wrong, it belong to a VF-11 tomcat, I don't know the right one
  23. Pierpaolo
    Thank You @almac, @Hewy and @Roberto
  24. Pierpaolo
    PS: I suggest not even following step 3 and not painting in insignia red the entire leading edge of the wings
  25. Pierpaolo
    Yes, the F8 and F9 parts, for this area I have decided not to follow the instructions and not to remove the edges indicated in step 2. glove vanes were usually disabled and welded shut in the field as more trouble than they were worth
