Small Scale Military Headquarters

The FW 190A and F. Hands down the best engineered. Better detailing than anything in 1/18 and all the while keeping those retractable landing gears spot on to scale. 2nd place for 21st 1/32 is tie between the Zero's and the 109 G.

1. F-15A or C or E Strike Eagle. Never was a fan of the two seat version of this jet. If you're gonna make a two seat, then go all out and make the baddest of them all. 2. F-4B or C or D or J or N or S. Basically the short nose phantoms. The E and the F versions are ugly. 3. F-100D 4. A better P-38....

If they do re-release the F/A-18 I sure hope they improve the mold. The Sidewinder missile tip/attachment/etc is terrible, the gear doors need to be separated and hinged to look more like the real Hornet, and do a better job on plugging the screw holes to make them more flush with the body. They got...

Zach, Have you ever tried the primer sprays from Games-Workshop? They are every bit as good as Tamiya Primer. They only come in black or white and the can is actually bigger than the typical Rustoleum can. $15. They spray extremely thin and flat but very durable. Way better than Testors. Only retail...

Corey,

do the tanks also have the attachment pieces? If so I'll take them

Nah,

nice though. Think 1967. Think this

Kinda blend of Corvette, Ferrari, and 240Z rolled into one.

Ferrari Man, That's a good attitude regarding VF-41. Super classy scheme. I have to give you the heads up on sanding. I did a 1992 VF-33 Starfighters CAG decomission scheme last year. To get it's configuration correct I sanded the bumps. Didn't have to touch the vents since they were correct. I didn...

1. Yes, same Jolly Rogers as JSI attempted. 2. Yes, that Black Aces scheme, love it! http://www.badcattoys.com/fvfblac1cewi.html 3. I was thinking the glossy black Playboy. This scheme- http://www.wallpaperbase.com/wallpapers/military/f14tomcat/f_14_tomcat_9.jpg I like accuracy, but I am honestly n...

For all you Final countdown fans did you know that the Vf-84 did sport zero kill markings and from what I have heard they stayed on the f-14s for some a length of time after the filming. http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c354/coolhandlukesd/KeyWest002.jpg Here is some Topgun humor form the guys at ...

When you're referring to Jolly Rogers, are you thinking of keeping it in the same 1988-1989 scheme JSI was intending to do, or are you thinking of a different VF-84 era? I'm assuming you are meaning the 1977-early 1978 Black Aces. That scheme is kick@$$! Evaluators - VX-4. I'm assuming you mean Play...

If you're only method of weathering is to airbrush some panel lines and some spots and that's all then leaving it flat is fine (a la the BBI method). But if you're wanting to use the old fashioned thinned paints dripped into panel lines and excess wiped and smeared then you must have a smooth clear ...

I think for my next scheme I will do VF-24 Renegades CO bird from the 1994 NAS Miramar Airshow. It's the same block type build as the Starfighters I did. That will require removing all the ECM bumps everywhere but leaving the NACA gun vents like they are and then altering the sidewinder launch rails...

Maybe so. I sold it to Jay (JOC) he was on the USS America in 1992 when he retired and was familiar with that exact Tomcat. He will definitely appreciate it much more than I could have.

Needing to make room and finances needed for sending my daughter to school. Hate to let it go. Very pretty scheme. It's on ebay if anyone was interested.
Thanks

I need to make an edit. Dark ghost gray is also on the vertical stabilizers inside and outside. Except of course when the squadron paints the CAG or CO's plane in full color.. Something to think about if you're doing the Red Devils scheme all over again. Pretty much all of the photographs of that pa...

FS 36320 Dark Ghost Gray for the top (of front and rear fuselage, spine, engines, and wings) and a little bit creeps over the top onto the sides of the front fuselage and that small area on the back fuselage under the vertical tails but between the front and back horizontal wings, and also behind th...

"Hello, we're JSI. We make 1/18 scale models of well known military aircraft from around the world spanning WWII to modern era. As you can see we put a great deal of research and quality work into painting all of our models, especially that Jolly Rogers F-14 Tomcat you see here on the table. We real...

I very disappointed with this model as well. My kit arrived in the mail yesterday from BadCat. I bought one of these kits so my son could have his first build. It appears to be pretty simple and basic with large enough pieces so it's easy enough to build. However the decal sheet that came with this ...
