Fantastic job. Still one of the best looking war machines ever to fly.

Absolutely, positively gorgeous. One of the best schemes ever worn by warcraft.

Oh my goodness. All that work and you put the wings on backwards? The sweep goes to the rear. And did SAS really fly the Trident? I'm sorry, but to me it looks like you just built and painted the model to suit yourself without regard to historical accuracy. 😉

Fantastic, fresh from the paint shop! Well done, friend.

That is first-rate subtle weathering. Well done, friend.

How are the Tamiya decals?

Flying Colors Decals are great. I made this back in 2003. Thanks. You are very kind. Thanks. Indeed, I am looking forward to Zvezda kit, but I often thought the Minicraft kits got a bad rap. Yeah, some are not state of the art: Electra, Super Connie. Others are first rate: DC-4 and DC-8. The 757 and 727 are kind of in the middle. But I say again, who else was catering to the 1/144 market for airliners 20 years ago and at least they were not putting out the 43rd version of the Bf 109. Thanks so much. Yeah, it's an old build. Go ahead, slap the FC Decals on the Zvezda kit, I'd love to see the results. (NASA of course!) I took a poster board and faked up a tarmac/runway setting. I use it for all my builds as I think it looks so much better than shooting a model on the dining room table, even if it is not 100% runway appropriate. And I always shoot outside since I cannot get the lighting correct inside. I use it regardless of scale or subject (see this 1/48 Phantom or 1/35 AS1 Leopard). Honestly, I have gotten as many comments about the tarmac as I have about my models. 😂 Yep, NASA bought some old Eastern 757s and did the bare minimum, later they had a more NASA specific paint job like your decals. So kind. It is hard to keep the clean. Thanks.

Out of the box with Flying Color Decals.

What am I supposed to do with these seven Hobbycraft Vampires?

I am very concerned the wrong model is being issued. This should be a 1/48 Airfix Sea Venom. I'm pretty sure I made that clear. I don't know why I am being ignored and this has gone sideways.

Well, I can finally disable the 15 year long “Saved Search” I had for the RarePlane kit on eBay.

I am starting to think the 1/48 A-4B tooling has found its resting place next to the Otaki 1/144 TriStar molds at the bottom of Tokyo Bay.

This is hilarious. Modelers say “Oh, it’s brush painted.” Come on man, no human can brush paint that smoothly. Just tell us use an Iwata! 😃

With all HB, I've learned to wait until trusted experts review the plastic.

Anyone know the best Tamiya paint match for DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® Limón?

Anyone know which is a more accurate kit? Great Wall or Academy? Talking about the plastic, I don't care about paint schemes or decals.

Anyone know where in the USA you can pick up the F-4EJKai or any of the Fine Molds Phantoms that have been released? It seems they are only available in Japan? I tried HLJ.com but was too slow.

I was all ready to say "No way were Walleyes used in DS!!!" Then . . . smack . . . . there is a photo of a Walleye on a Hornet. Amazing. I thought for sure those things would have been retired by '91. Just goes to show how little I know. As for your model? Fantastic. I wish I could have a Hornet 1/10 as good as yours. Well done, expert weathering.

Come on man, I need explicit details on how you weathered that Harrier!!!!! It is fantastic.

Love that scheme. I really wanted a 1/72 FM F-4EJ in the Sea Scheme but they seemed to sellout in about 17 minutes. Great job.

Lordy, some great work going on there. Well done. As soon as I start my Dynavector kit, Airfix will announce one, correct?

Goodness me, some He-Man level modeling effort going on there. Well done.

Amazing job. That is the exact F-18 I want to build.

What sorcery is this? No human can brush paint dark blue that smoothly. 😉

My goodness, that is SO ABSOLUTELY WRONG it is fantastic! Amazingly good job! 😄
