Casper, a 32nd scale nighthawk? I'd love to see that!
Trey, great job on the Night Lightning! Academy gives you more to work with than the old Revell it seems, but not much more! Regardless, it came out great. That auto clear made it look wet. I need to try that stuff for my automotive builds. Speaking of: working on a SimilR Matech Ford GT from Lemans 2010 has been taking most of my time. If you are into cars, it is a really neat kit. A little rough around the edges, sort of like a limited run airplane, but a subject I am amazed to see in plastic.
Here is a conglomerative pic of the state of my current NF builds:

In the back is the old Airfix B-57. It is and has been approaching final assembly. Everytime I pick it up, I find more seam flaws etc though.
Clockwise is an Italeri F-16D "Night Falcon". True Details seats.
Then the beginnings of a Monogram F-4D. Casper did "Terrible Tyke" in 32nd, so here's mine for 72nd! The markings are for a few years different, so it will be equipped somewhat different. No loran towel rack, different load-out, but still a black bellied "Night Owl".
Last, is my conversion of a Fujimi A-6A to a A-6B Mod 1 "Iron Hand" Intruder. After re-reading "Flight of the Intruder" last year, I have been wanting to build an "Iron Hand". I still need to add handles and curtain to "bang seats" though. The seats are from Super Bug.
My self imposed goal is to have all four of these across the finish line by October 31st, 2012. Wish me luck.
Cheers,
Greg
ps- I will update the front page this weekend, and I need to come up with a "double ace" badge too.
