    I agree. I have an old Monogram 1/48 F-84F kit that I’m itching to build!!
  2. RalphSarc
    Oh thanks. I have all three of the Tamiya 1/35 M16 variants with the quad mount being my favorite. I’ll most likely build the other two at some point. The quad has been a great kit. Highly recommend it.

    Installed and masked the windshield plus attached the front cab to the chassis. Also sprayed a coat of XF-51 (Khaki Drab).

    Yeah it’s an oldie but goodie kit that’s for sure. Really soft plastic and there’s a sticker inside one of the fuselage halves that says made in Poland!! Also very little detail but should paint up nicely and look nice hanging on the wall.

    I’m planning on this Canadian paint scheme. Thanks concerning the RV. We’re enjoying our retirement and summers cruising in the RV. This summer we’re visiting the Great Lakes. Definitely cooler than Atlanta’s summer temperatures!

    Completed steps 2, 3, 10 and 13! Now it looks like a 104!!! Time to return to step 4 and start the gear build up. Plus filling the dreaded fuselage seams!! Lord I hate that!!!

    On your mark, get set………..go!! Very rudimentary offering of a CF-104G. Really soft plastic and a whole two spruce, lol!!! Oh well I’ll throw a bit of detail in the cockpit you’ll never see and carry on. Should be a quick build!!

    Completed step 14 building up the front body section of the M16. I’m really impressed with the fit of this old kit. I’ve had no issues what so ever!

    Assemble the rear body bulkhead in step 12. Not sure I’ll fold the panel as shown or not!!
  10. RalphSarc
    Another fiddly affair!! Cutting, folding and aligning the hinges so the door halves appear to be open!! As seen in step 17.
  11. RalphSarc
    Wow it fits!!!

    Sometimes I think kit manufacturers build “torture” into there kits just for the fun of it??

    This morning I returned to step 6 and installed the exhaust pipes and muffler on the chassis. A little rust effects and some heat blueing and it’ll look the part!

    Thanks Kevin. I was pleased with the results. It’s a fun kit.
  15. RalphSarc
    Thanks we’re very pleased to have a Class A. It is like a one bedroom apartment on wheels!!

    I’m a boomer too, lol!!! I started the BAF 10 years ago.

    Good Morning Peter. Sadly no update on the kit however I just purchased a 2016 Fleetwood Flair 29T Motorhome that I’ve been playing with, lol!!
  18. RalphSarc
    Thanks Peter. I enjoy researching the history of each kit I build. The Basement Air Force on FB is having a three month long Century Jet group build if you’d like to join in?
  19. RalphSarc
    Thanks it’s getting there. I need to rust up the exhaust system and weather the chassis a bit plus start the body itself.
  20. RalphSarc
    Thanks so much. I actually missed seeing it on the ground for cleaning and refurbishing at the Smithsonian. However saw in once before in it’s slightly worn look.
  21. RalphSarc
    Test fit of front tires and tracks to check alignment. Looking good!!
  22. RalphSarc
    Chassis coat of XF-49 Khaki Drab
  23. RalphSarc
    Chassis priming!
  24. RalphSarc
    Coming soon, lol!!!
  25. RalphSarc
    Yes that’s how I keep track of the parts I install so I don’t miss any!! Been doing it for years.
