My F-16 is going to be in FSM

Congrats to the other Mike too.

So THAT'S how you get a pic published... change your name to Mike

Great jobs, Mikes !

You guys have inspired me to submit pics of my Black Widow.  Chances are slim to none that it'll get published, but hey, you never know.

I was thinking of also submitting my Hot Shots jets.  I figure, that's probably one that doesn't get seen too often.

Congrats Mike!

Congrats to you too Mike!

Can't wait to see them in the magazine.

The motto of the SAS in WWII, if I remember correctly (always suspect!) was: "Who dares, Wins." You might know it as "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." By the look of it from my vantage point, you deserve it. Save a copy for the grandkids.

I love the SAS! Bad a$$ dudes for sure! And yes that is their motto.  

Good for you Mike!

Pretty swanky '16 there...guess I know who I'M going to with any questions.

You help me with my LAV-25 and I will try and help you with F-16's although F-15's are my favorite.

Oh yeah? I've got a Revell Strike Eagle haunting my stash-closet currently - I'll be VERY sure to let you know when I'm getting ready to build it.

You mean this one Marc?

Super job, Mike!!  All of those builds you have posted are superb!

Ohhhh yeah, that's the one!

If you could start by giving me a full list of necessary AM...

Looks great Mike. Gr8 camo. Looking forward to seeing the pics in the gallery.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words. Coming from a group of outstanding modeler's like you all I consider it a great privelage to be recognized for my efforts. I love this hobby!

AM? What AM? All I put into this kit was some extra ordinance to complete the 9 LGB weapons load of this bird for Afghanistan. The kit is very well done Marc and is by far the best 1/48 F-15E on the market. My next is going to be converted into an F-15I so I get to paint that cool Israeli camouflauge again.

Thanks Mike.

The F-15E is my favorite aircraft and I sure hope they do not retire them when the F-22's are fullly operational. That will be a sad day for this Eagle nut.

I echo Mike's remarks, the PM Beagle is the best in scale, and really doesn't need any AM stuff. Sure, you could use it, but save yourself some money and build a winner right OOB. I wish R/M was still using this mold maker in Korea. The new one in China just doesn't compare. 

Wow, for real? That's the kit pit? This is going to be even better than I thought!

Who's ordinance is that? The Hasegawa "D" set?

Now I'm getting fired up....hehehehhehe.

Yes Marc,I used the Hasegawa Weapons set D for the GBU-12's.

Actually you need two sets of the above mentioned kit to get that many but I was lucky enough to have a member of this forum send me the extras I needed.

I am sorry I have forgotten who it was at this moment but I did thank them when they sent them.  

Very nice work, Mike! One of the best looking vipers I've ever seen on these forums! Congrats on being selected for the Gallery!

It's a great feeling, ain't it?

On a side note, my P-39 will be gracing the Pages shortly as well..!!

Sweet build, Mike, and congrats! Is that the Hasegawa kit?

Very nice! Vipers do look sweet in Israeli camo.

 Yes they do! Here's two of mine, RoG 1/72:

F-16B converted to a D using the tail from a CJ kit, and the Peace Marble spine from a Hase VISTA kit.
