Admins, this topic can be deleted, thanks.

Coming fall of 2019, my next Big Cat project. She will become F-14D, NE-100, VF-2, 163894. "Last Tomcat Cruise" CAG. I'm planning on completely disassembling her, adding lights and, a sound board. I'm still in the early stages of gathering all the necessary parts / pieces to made her a correct Delta...

There's one sale already Nathan.

Steve

Great work on the parts Nathan, thanks again. These will look really good on my F-16. I'll need to fabricate the "stubby" pylon for stations 2 and 8 so I can move my resin AIM-9's under the wings.

A F-105 ??!! I believe there would be A LOT of interest in that one.

Steve

Heck yeah !!! I doubt I' ll be able to afford one but, great to see it come to life. Keep up the awesome work Nathan.

Steve

Rob, his plans are for a F-4C/D, J/S and, a B/N.

Steve

WOW Nathan, they look really good !! These will be a welcome addition to my F-16.

Steve

Copy that.

Steve

Nathan, anything new to report ??

Steve

Thanks Bob, I'm looking forward to this one, I think ?? Hopefully I can do the 'ole girl justice again. The plan is to tear this one totally apart and add lights and sound to her. Fingers crossed, we'll see.

I have a line on another Cat so, "BULLET 100", F-14D, is a go. This more than likely will not start until 2020. I'm in the process of getting all my ducks in a row.

That type of helmet would be the HGU-33 style, if this helps Crazy Kraut.

Nathan, I sent you an email.

Steve

Thanks for the info, Yes, have seen these figures however don't want to take apart the cockpit. There has to be 1/18 scale figures that others have used that will work. I know BBI made some figures back in the day. Your correct John, BBI did make these figures back in the day. Today however, they a...

HA HA, well I figured if your going to be making items, it's all or nothing.
Sounds good, looking forward to the pods Nathan.
Don't forget to get in touch with my bud, Ed Miranda about the A-4.

I don't believe so Chris. The Hornet uses the following pods:
AN/ASQ-228 ATFLIR
AN/AAS-38 "NiteHawk"
AN/AAQ-28, this is carried on the centerline station with a pylon.

Steve

Absolutely !! I was just talking about these, and other items for the F-16, with someone on the 1/18th scale Facebook page yesterday. Would the head on the AN / AAQ-14 be moveable and rotate like the Black Knight version ?? Just a FYI Nathan, the top pic is of a Greek F-16 I believe. We don't have a...

TOOL,
The bottle number for FS 36375, Light Ghost Gray, is #1728. This is for enamel paint though, if you use water based stuff, I can't help you.

Steve
"TOMCATS FOREVER, BABY...!"

Hmmm, funny how that looks exactly like the one we have.

Steve

She looks so much better, nice job. That's a rare Cat, one of only 250 pcs. made.
