It's an old 1/72 AMT F-104A done in Dayglo Orange for a drone. Been moved cross country, GA-WA in the last 10 years. Might just be a collection of orage pieces now.

Couple of 1/48 Thuds (single and dual seat)

Rest of series in 1/72 going back to many years to mention, may even have the Revell F-111B.

Now how am I gonna get them all in the house without SWMBO being annoyed?

Well, I managed to find and slip in the Airfix F-105G over the weekend? It looks like I got part of the cockpit started at one time. Every advantage counts here.

Any chance this campaign might happen?

It's not an approved campaign yet. Click on the link in my last post. It goes back to a CRS post listing some campaigns that need more enlistees b4 they can get approved. Come on down!

I'm in, enlisted now. While I'm here, would anybody have a set of instructions for the old Monogram 1/48 F-105G Wild Weasel that they might be able to scan and send to me ???

Damian - I have the 1/48 Revell F105G Wild Weasel, kit #4504 ; same mold? Will the instructions be the same? I will dig it out form the stash and looks at the instructions, hang on....

This is the 2007 RoG re-release. 04504-0389 Let me know if these instructions would do, and I will scan them for you...

Mark, that's the exact kit. You are held in reserve pending a look at the set from James. Thanks so much for your effort.

Andy, glad to be of assistance. I managed to stumble across the link myself, so posting it seemed like the thing to do.

Now I have to get recalibrated on which kit to build. Looks like I already started the Thud, the cockpit, control panels and seats are already painted. I did manage to find three F-111's, an F-102, an F-104 and F-107 in the stash. Decisions, decisions, decisions

Hi all!

I just found out where I had to enlist!

I´ve singed on for this campaign!

I love the Century series, F-102, F-106 or F-111 is on the menu, but I have them all in the stash!

Cheers!

Wouldn't ya know it--I recently finished my EF-111!
Does the F-117 count as a Century Series Fighter? Wasn't it the last to get that designator?

Andy, just don't let Damian design the ribbon. He can't even spell Aluminum the right way.

Howdy Y'all

What is the timeline for this campaign? I'm booked the first half of this year. Otherwise I would like to do an old 1/48 Monogram F-102 if the campaign is for the later half of the year or even 2011.

Thanks,
Don "Lakota"

Wow 13 enlistees!

No good at artwork, but what about a Black 100 with White wings (delta?) on a Sky Blue background?

Now for the really dumb question: How started is started? I have an F-105F that it looks like I painted the cockpit back in '98, packed it up and moved 6 times (GA-WA with stops in between). Is this kit really started, or should I grab another kit?

Mark, as official CO-PIOLET....(which basically means unless Robert dies in flight, all I do is pretty much read books and flirt with the sturdess) I'd say if you've only painted the cockpit you should still be OK. Just don't do anything else to it until the start date.
Still have to clear it with the big man though.
