Cool Factor is 100 pts plus! So nice to see something different, and done so well!

Well hells bells! That's pretty solid right there! Keep it up, Ray!

First off, I love that you know where your weak points are. I’ve been building models for 35 years, and I still make mistakes; I take note of them and try to avoid them next time around. The best advice I can give (not that you asked for it ) is to strive for incremental improvement. You don’t have to perfect all of those weak areas at one time. As a co-worker likes to say, “Progress, not perfection.” To the subject of the WIP, the old Hasegawa F-16C is a gem of a kit. Enjoy! Steve

House of Phantoms reports that Zoukei-Mura will produce seven variants of the long-nosed Phantom: the E (early and late), EJ/EJ-Kai, F/F ICE, and G.

Nah. I'm keeping my Hasegawa kits. They'll be a nice "palate cleanser" to the more complex ZM kits. And the Hasegawa kits still look decent after all these years. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup

I'm thrilled to see this. I had a note to myself from two years ago that it was on SH's plans.

Fingers crossed that they do a B-9 soon. Long overdue!

Do you have plans to downsize your new 57th FIS F-4 decals to 1/72 scale? LINK

I'm eager to see detailed photos and in-box review! Steven Brown Scale Model Soup

I really like this! The finish and subtle weathering are perfect for the aircraft and scale. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup

Red Star Models has announced a 1/72 nose replacement as well, to follow their 1/48 nose. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup

Nicely done, Thomas! Do you recall whose paints you used? They look spot on. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup

I'd love to see the C-45 decals in 1/72 scale.
