    Been distracted with real life of late so haven't been visiting BM regularly.....Hence.....I Forgot all about this GB!🙄 I do however have a handful of 1/72 Airfix/Revell B-17F/G's in the stash so may still enter something.

    Is it just the camera angle or my eyes but those wingtips look alittle strange. Also a nasty seam on that nose turret glazing same as the old Monogram 48th kit,would have hoped in this day and age you'd be able to mould the clear turret parts better than that. That being said i'm a Norfolk lad,and given how many Liberators flew from bases local to me during the war...there's little doubt one will end up in my stash

    Tan Model at one time said they were gonna do a 1/48 T-37. I think they even had images on their Facebook page of a Turkish museum bird they were using to LIDAR. I was hopeful at the time...however Tan Model have promised us much and delivered very little so far. But yes we do need a 1/48 Tweet!

    Thinking about entering with a Academy Magach 6 or 7...or a Takom RoC Brave Tiger kit once released.. With regards to the Sabra's I did find a conversion set...I have no idea as to its quality,and am hesitant to lay down nearly 60Euro's on a unkown set. http://www.mrmodellbau.com/_shop/product_info.php?products_id=114&MODsid=05f825084c0e1756608fee05821e04d2

    Ohh could be interested the Pershing/Patton/Blazer family are among my favourite tanks....so many users and uparmoured sub-variants. If the M103 is allowed what about the developmental T29/30/34 series of Heavy Tanks?...no problem if not just wondering since the were built on a lengthened M26E3 Chassis...And I have the Takom kits in the stash

    Plenty of video showing up in Youtube of the display + crash... Sadly i think by the time he knew he'd messed up it was far too late. My thoughts are with his family,friends and Sqn...and also those who organised the display and those on the beach...seen 5 fatal accidents at airshows myself over the years and its never pleasent experience to witness

    Stu, Way,way back in the day #0321 was a Panthers jet...That Astra sheet dates back to 2000/01 timeframe. Back when the Liberty Wing was first converting to the F-15E with brand new jets arriving directly from St.Louis. The Bolars converted first and got all the AF90 tails,the Panthers got AF91 plus one single AF92. After the Kosovo War most of the AF90 jets returned to the USA for their first PDM cycle at Warner Robins AFB,followed by the AF91 tails.The AF90's were all reassigned to new units at Nellis & Mountain Home..The AF91 jets returned to Lakenheath after overhaul and were spread over both 'E' sqn's joining the brand new factory deliveries of 96/97/98/00/01. Current 2017 spread 492FS 91/96/97/98 494FS 91/92/00/01. Very long winded sorry...but yes #0321 was a Panthers jet,any operations its has flown over Afghanistan/Iraq/Libya/Syria its been a 492 Bolars jet.

    Bloomin' heck...people finishing already! Way behind you guys with mine,my old mum just had to go into hospital for a hip replacement.. Since she lives alone I moved back home for a couple of weeks to help out and keep an eye on her...never thought about taking one or more of my Eagles with me. Need to pull my finger out.
  17. mungo1974
    Ohh..So these will be for sale then..Oh man so tempted but I've never done a full resin kit before
  18. mungo1974
    A rare photo if it exists,they were cleared to carry them but rarely did outside the test Sqn's with the AD/ET/OT codes

    Yes they 'dip' inflight its all done automactically,can't remember the amount of degrees they dip but it basically a 3 position up/dipped/full down kinda deal..if you look at videos of flying in close formation or air refueling you'll see them in the dipped position. Full down is normally only on the ground(engines running) and take off/landing to get the optimum airflow to the engines depending on the jets attitude/Angle of Attack. more info here. http://www.f-15e.info/joomla/technology/engines/100-air-inlets

    Ah ok cool another William Tell jet like my project,actually met Capt 'Uz' Uzell way back in 1992 along with the other WT'92 pilots @ Bentwaters. These pics of 0015 may help your project After the Gunnery Meet the tail markings changed back to black,I was told at the time the ATC guys in the control tower at Bitburg struggled to read the tail numbers of the jets in the grey murk that often covered the Eifel region.
  21. mungo1974
    So which Bitburg Mig Killer are you building?
  22. mungo1974
    Another thing I thought of while driving to work was the very early Eagles ie pretty much all those in the ASB scheme would have had the early style short airbrake on the upper spine. Not sure off the top of my head when they changed to the larger type I think it was either at the beginning of the FY74 production or very early into it. So if your building a FSD prototype jet from FY71-FY73(which should cover all the early ASB painted jets) you need to smaller airbrake
  23. mungo1974
    If you build a early ASB jet you'll need an Escapac seat rather than a ACES II. Nobody does the sub-type used in early F-15's when I built mine in 1/48 I used the same type fitted to USAF A-7 Corsairs. The 318th should be ACES II, both would have early F-15A style wheel hubs. Early ASB jets will still have the Turkey feathers on the exhausts, the 318th won't. Antenna fit for both should be the same as you get in the basic kit. Let me think about it and I'll add more...now walking out the front door for work..lol
