Hey Mark
In this present economic decline,I think you could get away without buying another kit just don't tell no one

Andy

Thanks. I did an inventory, looks like 1 each F-100, F-101, F-102, F-106 and F-107. 3 each F-111 and 4 !!! each F-105. Little disappointed, thought I had another F-101. So I wouldn't have to buy a new kit, but I would like to finish something for once.

Hi all, I picked this up today for next to nothing, just missing decals . .



If anybody has any suggestions on AM decals please let me know, otherwise I'll make something up. This is a nice looking kit !!

Cheers, D

Nice choice, Damian. I thought you were making the Thunderchief?

I will enter with the 1/48 F-105 Thunderchief from Revell. I will go for a Vietnam shark monthed wild weasel. I really love that scheme!

D, check Sprue Brothers.....and several other sites. There are some really cool decal sets for the Voodoo on the market now.

I'm torn on my entry. I want to build the Hun I have in my stash, but I also want to do my 102 Dagger. A friend of mine here at work used to do maintenance on 102's back in the early 60's in Holland and I have a decal set of the fighter group he was in (32nd FIS). I may leave the Hun on the shelf cause I really want to build the Dagger for my buddy.

Hi Jesper,

I got the Thud for the CAS Campaign, just asked here for the missing instructions. I just picked up a Tweet for CAS and the Thud is in limbo now

Hermon, just ordered a set from Sprue Bros, thx mate

being only a few weeks away from launch.I figured I would blow the dust of this one and ask about the ribbon any thoughts?

heres a quick one...

I'm in too! I have the Hasegawa 102 and 106. The Revell 104, a nice kit really, plus the 100 by ESCI. I even have a 101, from Matchbox, all in my requisite 72 scale of course. What to choose? Russell

I will be building 1/48th trumpeter F-100C w/extras

Hi guys
25 sleeps to go ,Justin thanks for the ribbon mate but I allready done one,doh,that will lean me to check the site more often!, whats that Trumpy F-100 like?,I was looking at one of those,bloody dear over here £29.99!.
I found a few old Monogram kits in the loft,a 101 two 105's I'm sure theres a 102, 104 and a 106 up there too
Andy

the kit looks pretty good actually.never built trumpeter before.its cool about the ribbon just figured i would pick up where everybody left off.

Hi all
I will be doing the Italeri 1/72 F-104G, possibly in German or Italian colours. The Italeri recent release has a recce pod.
All the best.
tim

Hi guys
trolling in the loft today I found this little lot!!!!!!!



I'm sure there is a 105 G ww up there somwhere,one of the 101's has a single seat conversion to a F-101 A/C
and I've just found resin conversion for a TF-102A
Decisions,decisions!!!

Andy

I have all those same kits.

Dunno if I will go with the F-100 or the F-102 yet. I may have to flip a coin when the time comes.

Hermon

Hi all
only a few days to go now,I'm going with a 102 with these decals

I love checker board tails!!!
Andy

Torch is that going to be in BMF those checker board markings are going to look good.I'm going with the Idaho yellow bands and BMF on my F-100 Be my first time trying allclad

Hi J
not sure on the paint job yet as the decals are still in the post!!,I dont fear BMF anymore as Alclad is fantastic to use,you just got to prep it right! ie NOOOOO DUST.
I use SNJ buffing powder on the bright Alclad shades,looks a treat
Andy

Hey Andy, I made my decision. Since Justin is building the Trumpeter F-100 which is a much better kit than my old Monogram, I'm gonna go with the F-102.

A bit of history on my bird. An older gentleman (and friend) that I work with actually did ground maintenance on this aircraft operating out of Soesterberg AB back in the early 60's. I actually found a decal set that is an exact replica of the birds he worked on and he even has a photo of the Dagger from 1962 wearing these decals.
Here's a link to his old fighter wing:
http://www.slobberinwolfhounds.com/galleries/0/1000007/?page=10&sort=&order=&type=

My kit will wear the markings of photo #7 with the red, white and blue tail sporting the "Slobberin Wolfhounds" badge in the middle of the tail.


Not to sound too blubbery or kind hearted....... .........but this fellow is due to retire in late February and I was gonna give him this finished model to put in his display cabinet with his Air Force decorations and certificates.

Hermon

Good man at least you know it will be appreciated

Hi Hermon
thats a fantasic gesture I'm sure he will love that.
Those markings were my second choice if I could'nt get the C/B ones,nice and colorful
Andy

Hi all!

This will be my first group build here, and just getting back to modeling after a very long hiatus, but I am looking forward to it!

I have the Lindbergh F-100D that I will be doing and looking currently for 27th TFW 522nd or 524th decals. (My Dad flew F-111's for 20 years, so I have a tendency to build from the squadrons he flew in)

Excited to see all the builds!
Mike

Welcome aboard Mike glad you joined us for your 1st campaign
Look forward to see your 100
Did your dad fly 111's in the UK? we used to get loads flying over our house!!
Have fun
Andy

I just picked up a set of AM decals for my Voodoo, so I'm good to go sir
