Thanks Gamera! 

I may put some external tanks on the inboards at some point - the only pictures I have been able to find of the 4450th TG birds with stores show just tanks, multiple ejector racks, or travel pods.  If I get a hold of some napalm tanks I may try to replicate the "Klingon Cloaking Device" they used to fly with to add to their avionics testing cover story.

TJ, now that's ambition. Taking on 3 kits at once. Even without paint or decals I can call those F-16's. Nice!!

Gentlemen,

I've been away from this GB too long, some outstanding work being done. Great job guys!

I'm calling the MQ-1 Predator complete. I finally finished the base. I was not very successful, nor patient, so I ended up gluing the drone to the base. BK, I will leave you to pick a finished picture to display. 

Here are the pictures:

I hope you enjoyed, comments and critiques are welcome!

Bruce, that is simply outstanding. It looks super cool. The base definitely make it look that much better. Very nice work.

BK, Cliff,

Thank you!

BK, it was an honor to be apart of this GB, I will start on the F-16 later this year after I have some other GB's completed.

Hey Brandon! I have been gone for a spell, but now I am trying to get back on the bike, so to speak, and get back to the workbench. I have more than a few projects on the bench, but not sure if any are within the "no more than 10% completion" rule. How would that be defined? I need a group home! (Oops! That sounds a bit odd!)

*******

On my workbench now:

It's all about classic cars now!

Why can't I find the "Any" key on my keyboard?

I would say if you've only done the cockpit and a few bits you're good. If you have the fuselage closed and/or wings on you're too far along.

Kind of lost track of this GB but there are some real nice builds moving through.

I got some paint on the Corsair over the weekend.

Bruce Thanks. It is different

 

BK it was an experimental scheme twice when they were thinking of using the Viper to replace the A-10 in the Close Air Support

 

 

There are 2-3 other variations I'd like to do

Hay Brandon, I would to enter in another Eagle.  Academy 1/72 F-15C. Cool  Thinking about building both my 1/48 along side the 1/72.  Does anyone know the color for the landing gear, bays, and interior of the gear doors? Both instructions call out for gloss white, I've heard that Insignia White would be a closer match?

I was wondering if you had room for one more. For my last birthday, my sister got me a Revell 1/48 A6-E and she's excited to see it built. I figure now's as good a time as any if you'll have me.

Sure, I'll put you down.
