  1. @Martinnfb Does the B-58 Hustler qualify for the 'Winning' Category? Here are the credentials: The B-58 won five major aeronautical trophies, including the Thompson, Bleriot, Mackay, Harmon, and Bendix. The Hustler also set more records than any fighter or bomber aircraft in the world, in itself a record. It set 14 world speed records in international competition. and 19 world speed records, including coast-to-coast records. https://www.b58hustlerassn.net/b-58-history/trophies-records
  2. Martin, EXCELLENT idea since there was an original date and lots of people got their builds in on time. @mark31 - Terrific build but also display. The in-flight allows for a much better view of the armament and underside. Congrats on the Tamiya F-4J!
  3. I just saw this, too! What a totally awesome diorama!! This is so cool Scott - Love it! Is there a build thread somewhere? Interested in the rust effect.
  4. Absolutely!! Happy Birthday and MANY happy returns!
  5. It is disappointing that the decal companies have these problems. I think a lot is, as you pointed out, how they were stored. My 'old' decals I've kept in a separate case, air tight and away from humidity. I have quite a few of the Pyn-up decals stored that way. But excellent solution you found - the markings and stencils look terrific on the desert scheme.
  6. Beautifully done! I have 2 in my stash to get to.
  7. Your IP and seat are brilliant. Beautifully done! How did you make the seat pad and what did you use for the string/rope? Dental floss?
  8. Wish I had thought of this sooner, but found an ACTUAL photograph of this aircraft! Dated 1970. I got a few markings incorrect, but very cool to see a photograph of the actual aircraft!
  9. Beautifully in in 1/48! Nice work on the drybrushing and the camo painting - a chore in any scale but nicely done here. Cool subject.
  10. Perfect F-14 Peter. Your work always shines with the details. Beautifully done. Your display case belongs in a museum.
  11. Thank you, Carl. It was a learning experience, but in the end it was a fun build. Cheers!
  12. Peter, I went to the Imperial War Museum's website and found this video. I figure if anyone knows what is what, it would be the IWM? In the video it looks like the roundels are over the wing walk lines... And this picture from this video.
  13. I did that once!!! After that I stopped building two of the same kit, unless they were almost exactly the same...
  14. HOW DO YOU DO THOSE SPIRAL SPINNERS??? For the life of me I cannot get a good spiral on the spinner. Yours is perfect!!! What is your secret?
  15. I think the amount of resin almost matches the amount of styrene: exhaust burner cans and tubes, intakes, wheels and tires, ejection seats, missiles and ANQ, missile pylons. Whew!
