    EXCELLENT! One of my favorite modelers doing a future build! Your work (and photography) is also excellent, so keep it coming so that I have another reference, although I'll be doing the Israeli version when the time comes.

    Jesse, I don't have the decals you mention, but I do have a few Two Bob's decals (and others) kicking around that might be of some use, so just email me if you need something specific.

    Model on! :thumbsup:

  2. In Topic: 1/32 CF-18B via the Academy F/A-18D kit

    Today, 04:23 AM

    Thanks a lot guys. I really didn't expect much in the way of a response the second time around, but it's still nice to have some "Attaboys". What I really want to do is archive one of my favorite builds properly, just in case somebody looks up the Canadian CF-18 in the future. My last attempt was fairly weak, photographically speaking.

    Speaking of the CF-18, I was at Cold Lake almost one year ago for "Maple Flag", which is the Canuck version of "Red Flag" at Nellis in the USA. I have a "Trip Report" here:

    Maple Flag 2012

    Getting up close and personal to the CF-18's was very cool, ancient or not. These old birds still scream!

    I also apologize for my last comment on your P-51. It was not my intention to try and get you to change anything. Just something I noticed and wanted to comment on. Outstanding progress so far.


    No sweat Josh- I don't really remember what you said. I'm getting a thicker and thicker skin through time, so I'm sure I didn't even notice a critique of any kind. Having said that, if folks see a problem like Billb pointed out earlier, please speak up! I know squat about A-10's, other than what I see in pics, so I appreciate the feedback.

    The front gear modifications continue, which are HUGE! I just hope it will all be worth it....

    the handles are rotated up in the first pic, plates are fixed.
    bit of white glue mixed with black paint worked for me.


    Gotcha. I have just the fix with some brownish vinyl used as a mask.

    Looks good!
    Check your references on the yellow handles at the front of the seat though. All the pics I found have a blanking plate that stops you being able to see straight through the handhold (& assumedly getting things caught through it)



    Thanks for that feedback Sir! It would appear in your first pic, the "blanking plates" have been rotated forward, allowing a clear view through the handle on the left hand side. I'll bet you are right though, so it's any easy "fix" to add same, which I will do. :thumbsup:
