Excellent work on lining up all those stores. The Scooter looks fenomenal. Toast

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Wingnut,

That scooter looks great. Love the finish that you achieved with the black basing technique. Will have to try that on my next modern fighter. I dont see anything wrong with the allignment of the snakeyes. looks great.

Fantastic job!

You nailed that loadout. I can barely handle aligning a single drop tank, much less packing in all that ordnance. And the paintwork on it is stellar.

Great, great job all around.

Regarding the movie - I should have known. I liked THe Sandlot a lot as a kid, but was focused on something related to an A-4 and was just confused since I didn't see a reference to one. I should have known, haha.

Once again, stellar work on this one!

Wow Wingnut you really knocked this build out of the park or should I say "lot"? Lol. This is really motivating to me to get my act together and start some "jet" builds.

bvallot, Allan, John, Gamera, toshi, BK, plasticjinkie, Matt, BD, smalls, Jim... So sorry those guys that posted a week ago for not acknowledging your comments and saying thank you. And I want to say that now to the others that just comments and responded me I was remiss in my duties.

Thanks Waikong. My bench being in the TV room helps at night when there's nothing that interests on the tube. Hmm? I guess we have to say "on the panel" now. Lately I've been waking up at about 5 so I get some very early morning time in. I could go to a gym???? NAH!
