    Thks Joe for the prod and I found the pod be here the 21st. Wolfpack 1/48 scale AN/AAQ-28 LITENING II/III for F-16 - WP48078

    I use to watch these fly out at KAFB all the time when a kid in the 60/70's had a park right across from the flightline.

    I had do a restart also started in 2015 I think got sick shelved it but it really has been one of my funner builds of late.

    Yea and another year that we may have an early tropical system probably won't amount to much but an omen and predictions look tough so far.The word a cut-off low enters the GOM viva Texas in a few days another thing to watch.

    Nice build Craig see you have moved on to a tank busy...busy.

    Thks Joe for the info the only thing I could at this point with the exhaust is hack it off if an AM is available?The only thing about that is the delay in the paint but shoot could glue with SG afterwards.You can see that modern A/C is not my gig. That pod would work the only issue is it hangs way lower than the what the Block 32 does decisions decisions Kevin

    The plane builds easy peasy not complicated at all disregard the paint for now she is getting a coat of gloss black lacquer over everything then wheel wells go white mask then the camo.I think the only thing I lack for a correct part possibly is the Litening Pod under the fuse by the air intake what I have is for a Block 32(2007) and 35FW are block 50.I built all the ordnance and fuel tanks last night just need to attach the pylons before the paint gets laid.

    Got quite a bit done this evening just as I was researching the net about the 35th my son shyped and he answered some questions about the top of the tail it's all yellow two tone =wing leader, lights on the rear of plane the parts looked like gas tank covers.The plane has the pilots name on the left side and his crewchief on the right so Russ who lives down the street(two houses) he does alot of Biloxi schooners and makes his own decals I'll see if we can give that a shot.I changed my mind on the gear but have her taking off? Kevin I am almost feeling like I need to finish some of these planes I started before moving on to a new build it's about ten kits two are 1/24s and two 1/32s

    It's all airbrush I have been airbrushing since about 13 yrs old when Badger had Propel in a can as for paints I am an enamel guy whether Testors, Model Masters or Humbrol.I do have some acrylics but if one is not quick on the clean of the airbrush it will start to harden when I have forgotten enamels in the cup and came back the next day it cleaned with no problem. Nice Day today four families cook out about 80', 2 innings of softball and five or six games of bingo then peach cobbler and homemade ice-cream life is good Kevin

    I thought I get back to this kit since Hannannts is a little slow and finish it for my son who is a crew chief in the 35th and 803 is his main plane (he hates 803 always something).I do not plan on keeping the plane but to build gear up with some clear rod for a base off it goes to Japan he'll keep or give it to the pilot.
  15. Javlin
    That's what I was thinking also Denis such details. kevin

  19. Javlin

  20. Javlin
    Thanks but not in the house but I built a shop out back weras one side I do wood work and the office area is my modeling room to which I am about to move out some smaller cases and drop in two that will measure 48'LX 32"HX22'D.Lou has the problem with dolls poor guy Kevin
  21. Javlin
    That's the 1/48 Tamy kit very nice fit OC and the SeaFire is an old HobbyCraft kit. Denis that's a 1/72 Italeri some people quibble about there kits but I find them to build up into Nice kits as to the Thermoplyae I hope I can get to that one one day. Thanks that's not all out of the cabinet got a couple of Armour and ships also just on the bottom shelf the top shelf gets the most dust. It's not to bad Mark once a year it happens the whole office side is getting cleaned.
  22. Javlin
    I did not really see a place to put this and since I am in a lull hannants just gave me a tracking # today and I needed to get room made for the "MMR" in the big cabinet which needed some serious dusting.I have to dust it about once a tear which took me two hours so all the planes have to come out.I thought some of you guys might be interested in seeing some of my early work's like the 1/32 Fiesler Storch,Ki-43 Oscar a 1/72 Heinkel,Ki-61 these are all probably 30years old anyways .............

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
