LOL!

Thank you! It isn't a difficult kit to build so why not give it a try?

Well here we are. Painting and decaling all done and ready for clear flat overspray and then some weathering, etc. I decided to model this VMF-214 a/c instead of the one I had originally intended.

Well done! I like it!

Thanks Ernie. I would still like to build another one and put the French decals on it.

Well heck. I think I'll just delete this thread since I was late to the party so to speak.

Bummer Hubert! On the upside I won't have to spend a bunch of money for any.

I saw where those issues were present in relation to the 1/48 ICM kits so I hope this one will be better.

I see where Hobby Boss is showing this kit as a immanent release. If it doesn't cost a arm and a leg I will get at least one. I have decided to dump this thread since I was so late to the party LOL. Will one of the admins help me out here? Thanks!!!

Sure, and with one arm behind my back! LOL

Most of the painting is done although some touch up will be needed in places.

I'm considering it for a -1D build at a later date. Overall GSB, etc.

I'm glad I have my hobby to keep me occupied. Otherwise I'd be climbing the walls. LOL As I live alone, the Internet, Prime streaming videos, etc are a great thing to have. It still gets a bit boring at times.

Just to show I'm still working on the -1.

It seems to me that RFM kits are really nice. I haven't heard of any real problems with them. They sure do have a lot of small fiddly bits though!

Although I'm not primarily a armor builder I just had to get these two. No doubt they will build up to be outstanding models.

I have been trying to make up my mind on exactly WHICH -1 to build. Initially I thought I'd do "De Fabe" but I have several that are in very similar schemes. I MAY stick with that one but I AM considering one of the RN birds instead. We will see. As a aside, I feel like Tamiya will release a RN -1D or -1A at some point. The kit has the mid-fuselage vents that were, as far as I know, only on RN a/c. All they would have to do I think is add new wing tips and decals.

I am considering one of THESE.

Actually Tim I don't get your drift. There's no one on this site I would "ignore".

Since the big blowup and exodus from "The other site" I no longer buy anything from that decal maker.

Thank you!

LOL! Indeed!

Agreed! Thanks.

Just for grins, here's my 1st one. I did it a Frank Borman's "A".

Thank you. I feel the same way. They just look better in NMF.
