Thanks guys. And just for the record.....Starbuck is a dude!

Wish I could help you buddy.....but unfortunately this forum is for tech issues regarding the creations I make for Wings over Europe. I'm afraid there isn't going to be a lot of help found here. I would suggest posting this in the LOMAC section. In fact, I'll help you out by giving you a friendly nudge in the right direction with a little moderator magic.....

I had a few of the original Joes....they faded out when I was about five, and then I had a ton of the Joe/Cobra stuff....

This is a 1/48th scale Italeri F-14A+ Tomcat backdated to a early model F-14A The kit bang seats were pretty laughable, so I replaced them with some seats from a Hasegawa Tomcat...the ventral fins were WAY off shape wise, so those too were replaced with parts from a Hasegawa. The kit came with two closed Pratt & Whitney nozzles, I had a spare open P&W nozzle from an Academy kit, so I used that on the port engine. I added a TARPS pod from a Hasegawa kit....mostly cause you just don't see them very often. The markings I used were from an early Tomcat, the kit did not come with the proper chinpod, so I liberated that from an old Revellogram Tomcat. The VF-111 Sundowners markings came from Aeromasters "Tomcat Supreme part 2" sheet. The colors are Model Master "Gloss Gull Grey" overall and I used MMs "Neutral Grey" for the TARPS pod. The wash was done using pastel chalk ground up into a powder and mixed with water and some liquid soap. BTW....yeah, I know the fin caps are supposed to be red...the decals were scaled for the Hasegawa kit and the Italeri tail fins were just a tad too short

No, she was doing this.... This is her first model....not bad for a 7 year old, eh?

Another great site is U.S. Cockpits

Anyone played it yet? I just saw it at Best Buy but haven't heard anything about it

two words come to mind..... F*** that

Yeah....I just started scribing too. I am rescibing a Revellogram 1/48th F-14. The secret is Dymo Tape. It's nice and thick and makes an excellent guide for your pin vise. I also went out and bought a scribing tool from Squadron....run over your line with the pinvise a couple times to make a nice groove, then come in with the scribing tool....cleans out that extra plastic and leaves a nice recessed line. I love it. Here's my latest completed project.... 1/48th Academy F-14A Tomcat (modified to B standards)....

I am happy to announce the first Speedwerx Racing Designs mod to be released here at CA. The Speedwerx Mosler Challenge will include 20 custom Mosler MT900s running in a full championship mode in GTR2.

Yeah.....here is some news....I am finally back! I haven't been able to mess around with anything lately. The arcade cabinet business blew up over the holidays....I tripled my expected order volume. And I just upgraded from Photoshop 7 to CS2, so I am kind of re learning. I am trying to get all the little things done...helmets, driver suits....all the little details....

wow....that looks good man. real good. I use microset/microsol, and I get pretty good results. Acutally, I shouldn't say that....cause I am decaling my latest build and I know I am going to jinx myself!
