unfortunately Belgium has no F-18's so no nice Belgian paintjobs
But the one Stefan posted is very nice too.
I luckily still fit in cockpits, would be sad if i didn't fit anymore at this age

I have built almost exclusively Hasegawa 1/48 Jets,The kits practically fall together by themselves.I have built the F-15C,F-18C,F16A,F-16D Barak,F-18F,F-4B,F-4E,they are great kits with great decals.I highly recommend any of them.

The only Hasegawa 1/48 that has frustrated me was the F-14 Tomcat kits.

Greets Peeps!

I am preparing to do a build-reveiw of DML's 1/144 F-14 and MRC Tornado.

My offerings are in this time span, but probably more appropriate to COLD WAR forum: F-104G

MiG-19

Saab Draken

I have the Hasegawa F-8E and a few others.

Give me time... :-)

Howdy all

I swap between 1/72 modern and 1/48 WWII due to space limitations. I completed a 52TFW F-4E for the "show ya teeth" campaign. I was hoping to complete its partner F4G for the Wild Weasel campaign but don't think it got going, also with work at the moment I don't have the time to complete 2 campaigns.
In the shortlist for next kit to build is the Academy 1/72 Dragonfly, to be done in overall gunship grey. I have a few of these, as I want to do one in SEA, Euro 1 and overall grey... I am thinking about getting one more and doing the Edwards Test scheme but might finish a couple first.

Pic of my F-4E (which didn't survive our last house move.... )
