Yeah that is nagging me too.
Now that spots are not on my table, I can think about how to fix that.

Now life is starting to make sense! LOL

Check how nasty these birds could get!...

This is results of today's test for me... This is 50% each of acry flat gull gray and light ghost gray with a little water mixed in and airbrushed over the elevator. I left the spots very subtle showing through and other shadings. As others have said, this is probably what they were after originally...

There are clear decal sheets to print your own.

Keep telling myself how grateful I am to have this bird while blue tape masking it. Pain in the butt!

Just a quick test mixing of 4762 fifty fifty with 4763 looks like a damn solid match.

Experiments for today....... I bought both acryl MM Flat Gull Gray 4763 and Light Ghost Gray 4762. Flat Gull Gray 4763 was the better color match on my bird, really really close. 4762 was a little too much on the darker side of gray. Maybe mixing in a little 4762 into the 4763 would be a good idea t...

how that work?

For the glove vanes I needed to put an exacto tip in to pry a little to get them to swing out.

My pilots stick was broken off and missing.
Also one of the fin antenna is no where to be found.
I may have broken it off but I doubt it. Easy enough to scratch build another.


EDIT
Found the antenna, Must have been barely glued on.

I just discovered the glove vanes will deploy.

Under incandescent bulb lighting. It's an amazing jet! Even with spots this thing has P R E S E N C E ! But I will be masking the markings and airbrushing out the spots. There really isn't that much to have to mask off though. Just need to be precise along the edges. http://i261.photobucket.com/albu...

Ok
UPS sez delivery this Thursday for me.

Well I have a tracking number from Badcat so promise to post pictures ASAP. I am in California so it could be here pretty fast as usual from Badcat.

Splash the zeros, I say again, splash the zeros!

Forgive me....

I'm excited!



Any place, any weather....





Where they hell I'm I gonna put it! LOL

All I know for sure is they make it, I buy it.

I saw one of the older Mustangs once that was clearly returned in place of one of the far more detailed new ones.

Someone upgraded at the expense of the next purchaser.

Just messed up that someone would do that.

Oh yeah,

rockets sold seperatly!

Wuzzup with that!????

A few things I dealt with... Terrible gap on the bottom fuselage, could not mate any closer because a connecting pin was resisiting this on the inside. I heated a screwdriver tip and melted it in half inside the fuselage. This enabled me to squeeze the fuselage together closer and super glue it. Sti...

Ordered mine.

My father worked on Hellcats so I am all over this like felt on a muppet!

I would like to see it. Sure it was not combat flown. But not every Delta Dagger pilot becomes President of the United States and had a father who flew military aircraft and was President himself too. That is pretty amazing, politics aside. I would like to see these products and would like to displa...

My father worked on Hellcats.
As a little kid, I remember it sounded funny hearing my father who rarely cussed use the "h" word.

Grabbing one of these is mandatory for me.
