Hi everybody !

Some may recall, STs April Fool's joke a few years back. Anyway, I kinda knew it, but liked the idea so much I went about half way.....and drew up some profiles. I never did my back-story, although I did take some notes to write one. They're long gone, but I kinda still know the jist of it. Here are the profiles again, as the originals are long gone with the last few incarnations of the site.

This kit has been sitting on my LHS sale rack for months....just egging me to buy it. I was hoping somebody would beat me to it, but alas, this GB has finally forced me to purchease the kit. Not bad for $16.

I'm probably gonna do the Isreali one, but I don't have decals for either. Anybody help a brother out ?

Watching with interest - I'd like to do a Pakistani one some day.

Regards,

Greg

Thanks, Greg. Got any spare Isreali decals floating about ?

Will check, but I don't think so.

Regards,

Greg

I know I have some in 1:48 but name some 1:72 models that would have Israeli decals. They're yours if I can find them.

Scooterman · June 20, 2008, 07:55:03 PM

Cap't I got you covered too if needed. I have a TON of Skyhawk squadrons and even maybe an F-15I with the big eagles head somewheres. Name it and they're yours.........

Captain Canada · June 20, 2008, 08:22:03 PM

Cool....thanks alot for the help, guys. She's gonna be from some new Squadron, a long range maritime strike type. If you have any with a fish or the eagle or any idea of what number or sqdn. I could make up.....

Baz, I've no idea. It's actuallt kind of odd, of all the decals I've got in the spares box, absolutely nothing Isreali !

Brad, I think I'll be taking you up on that one !

Thanks again !

Actually, Toad, if we ever meet up, I've got a butt-load of Israeli decals if you want them.

This looks like it'll be a good one!

Scooterman · June 22, 2008, 12:28:26 PM

Cap't, I can't find the Eagle decals and those A-4 ones were 1/48 and too big. I did find this from a Hasey 1/72 F-16D that you can have......

That was an April Fool's joke? Dang. For years I sat back and wondered if the back story I wrote sucked that bad it wasn't considered for the contest. What a nube I was!

Supertom · July 03, 2008, 10:11:09 AM

Nah actually it fell apart. Plus someone made some rude comments that just got me all frustrated with the whole thing so it just faded away. Sorry guys.

Captain Canada · July 03, 2008, 08:38:11 PM

Don't be sorry, ST....gonna get a cool build out of it, anyway. And maybe Gary will cough up his story as well !

Gary · July 04, 2008, 03:38:05 AM

Had a look, couldn't find it. It was abput Canada reducing dependance on USA for military and purchasing "Snow Leopards".

Scooterman · July 04, 2008, 12:02:02 PM

Hey Toad, you still need those decals?
