Quote from: killnoizer on March 05, 2024, 06:42:07 AMYou mean a ,,C" like Confusing ?

Kinda, but especially as it seems to actually be an F-15C, but is certainly not a Tomcat.

That's what it's about, it's a collection of models, the name of the page because they don't care if it's the E-2D, they repeat it several times with a margin of a few years and in different Spanish-speaking markets, and if it's an F -15C as explained in the attached fascicle but it is announced by Tomcat and not Eagle.

Terry Wong-Lane?

LONG time no hear from him, he's an old mate from my Airliner SIG days and one SERIOUSLY good modeller! 

Nice one !

Invite, maybe? Do we still do that?

We should do for sure.

If people want to issue an invite there's nothing to stop them 

From the facebook page 'The Greatest Planes That Never Were.' Modeler is Bob Gibson.

"'what if ' the R.A.A.F.  had needed a COIN/ close support  aircraft for Vietnam just as the navy was replacing its Sea Furies  ?  hobby craft kit  [and the spares box] in 1/48"

That's not bad, but the greens are a little too similar for my taste. And old eyesight. 

But the ordnance load is pretty cool. Not convinced about the SNEB pods though; maybe a FFAR pod would have been more in keeping?
Or some sort of Bang with fuse extender?

Still, his model and his call.

I like that.

The greens may have been better before the clear coat.  I've had that happen.

True, a clear coat can change things. and Gloss can have quite a different effect from Matt, too.
And they don't always cancel each other out... I know this now (to quote a Certain Antipodean!)

I didn't realise there were two greens until I read your comment 

Nice one. Looks like it would blend right in over the jungle.

And the name is pretty appropriate.

I have an Aussie one, but was wondering about a Kiwi....
May have to come up with another plan!
