Small Scale Military Headquarters

I have to tell you a story about Coreyeagle. I had posted about my F-14 and how it came without the ECM recievers under the leading wing root. He saw my post and just happened to have a f-14 that got messed up and HE OFFERED TO SEND ME THE PARTS I WAS MISSING! AT NO CHARGE! In this day and age That ...

No I did not spray Enamel over acrylic. I sanded the tail down and cleaned it with naptha. I did not use primer because it distorts the detail in the panel lines,etc. I have been building models for over 30 years, and as a profession for 10 years. The only time I have ran into this is when you try t...

Yeah Thats the same thing my Ex-Wife use to say! Ha

Yep that would be the one. Just need to figure out what Marine Squadron
to make it. Got a little time before I get to that point. Any Ideas?

I did the same Canopy lift units on all of my Hornets. After four You get Pretty good at it. Now I am going to turn my 4th Hornet into a D model.
I know what I am going to do to the fuselage. Its just Vacuum forming the Canopy and making the template might get interesting.

Is your plotter a vinyl cutter? or a printing plotter? If you have a vinyl machine you would probably be best suited to a paint mask material bought at any Sign Supply Store. If the plotter is for architectural Drawings etc. You would be best served plotting on the paint mask and then hand cut. Most...

No offense to themanthegreat but if you get superglue any where near clear plexi its going to fog up on you. Th only way to avoid it is to use a "Zip Kicker" on the glue immediatly after and then there are no promises it still won't fog. What I tried was to get some of the Blue Poster Putty take a s...

Don't You just love the sound of WOP! WOP! WOP! WOP! WOP!
Ahhhhhhh!! The sound of FREEDOM!
I get alot of them overhead going From Dobbins ARB going to Cherry Point.

I Made the rotors,weapons wing,engine exhaust and hellfires from scratch. The Rotors are styreneas well most every thing else.

Without a doubt $88.00 is a great price

I have a AH-1Z that I have made from the 21st Century AH-1W also have a few low viz repaints. But the Zula is one of my favorites. Since I made mine they have changed the exhaust and a few other things, Which I may update mine laterafter it has been in production for a while. http://news.webshots.co...

Pro work

I can understand being a little upset with JSI. My Tomcat came to me missing the Arrestor hook and houseing and the ECM houseings under the leading edge. They sent me the arrestor hook and houseing. Nothing so far on the ECM recievers. But in this day and age when there are absolutely no body doing ...

Tamiya Spray paints. I tried to use them when I repainted one of my Hornts to VFA-15 and the paints crackle. uckily I was able to remove the paint with VMP Naptha without damaging the plastic. Long live Model Masters Paints!

Well what can one say? They suck!

I am in the process of turning my F-14 A into a either VF-103 B or a Total Repaint D model. So far I have the latirn pod, the B model cans, JDAMs and I am working on the Chin Mount Tacan cameras. I just dred the total repaint
to make it the D model "Pukin Dogs"!

He does very nice work but if someone buys it they have more money than they need.

Does anybody know when or if the F-15 will be released?

Actually I am working on turning My Tomcat into a VF-103 "BombCat"
I will be arming it with a couple of 2000lb LGB's and the Flir pod. I am working on the F110GE-400 afterburner cans as I write this. I will Post some pics when I get a little further along.

Is anyone else missing the ECM blisters
under the leading wing edge? mine also came without the arrestor hook box.

I must say that the repaint of my Tomcat was much easier than it has been made out to be. I did not even have to break out my airbrush. Went to Hobby Lobby and got 2 cans of Model Masters Flat Gull Grey FS#36440 masked of all of the markings cockpit etc.( it is a lot easier to paint with the aircraf...

Oh Please if only it was that easy!

I use a Tape Made by Iciban and is called a "Rice Tape" it is what I use for architectural models

I know this thread is for the cons on the F-14 and a I have a few obviously the pox spots also mine came without the arrester hook connecter. but guys all in all considering the fact that the 1/18th production has completely dried up. I gotta give it to these guys. They took one hell of a chance on ...

On the F/a-18 I used Naptha to remove
alot of the spotty spray. But Be warned
If there is paint under the spot it will remove it. do a test spot.
