VERY cool scores all the way around John!
Got my aluminum wheels in from Dancing Bear Scale Components today. Couldn't be happier about them either. Just WOW!!!! A mock up on my upcoming Georgia Shaker Maverick I'll be building.
And then something NOT model related. Just can't get over the 400hp marker with a two barrel TBI setup so....I'll be switching my truck from the throttle body fuel injection to this.....
Got 'er in the mail today. Hello old friend............a 650cfm Holley Double Pumper 4 barrel Carburetor.

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Thanks John. I'm really stoked about starting another Maverick build in a couple of months.
Already got the intake on there. I adapted the 50mm TBI unit to a Stage II Summit 4bbl intake (which is the same manifold as an Edelbrock Performer RPM) when I put it all together 3 years ago so the intake is already on the motor. Just gotta run a pressure regulator , run the lines and install an HEI distributor. The only things I'll need after that is a throttle position sensor kit for the Holley and wire that all in along with the tach wire from the distributor to the computer so I'll have transmission shift controls. Now......I can run a little wilder with my camshaft profiles.

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
I had found this decal set up for sale on Scalemates awhile back. It finally arrived in yesterday’s mail. I’m planning to use the VF-162 option. It will look great next to my VF-162 Crusader one day.

Nice decals. I like cutting edge.
Also ordered this ages ago from Poland - new company MACO - from their first run of 100 a plane so ugly you have to love it.

I have a VF-162 marking for a 72nd F4D. It's an old superscale sheet with like markings for a Cougar

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
I’ve used a few Cutting Edge sets. My VF-162 F-8 was done using the 1/48 Cutting Edge decals.
