I think you should start a build thread in this forum section. That way, I will know that I see a post in it as you go, and if we do enough of them, this section could end up serving as both a 1/1 guide section, with discussions of different companies models being built. I could then remember to pic...

It was even before that one. We had about 8 shops, just in Long Beach,,,,,,,back in 1969. This doesn't include the Squadron Shop in the Lakewood Shopping Center. ( the buildings that later became Lakewood Mall, when they built a roof over all of the shops, after I had moved away ) One small hobby sh...

When I changed over,,,,,,I still had some of the Humbrol tins from when I first bought them. When they first hit the US market, you could only get them in boxes of 6 colors. Since I bought them in 1969-1972, and they couldn't be bought in Wisconsin when we moved back there,,,,,the tins remaining hav...

Even though I have had to become an Acrylic user,,,,,,,,I would go back to Model Master, Humbrol, XtraColor, and Colour Coats enamels in a heart beat. I don't have a choice anymore,,,,,,,,but, I sure miss those 4 paints, especially the Humbrol "old style" formula,,,,,,,,that paint changed ...

Then I can find the refere...

I am a big fan of Kursad's stuff over at Caracal.

Since he ships free to the the US, I don't have to wait until I have a bunch of sheets that I want,,,,I just order them whenever he releases them,,,or in batches of two sheets when I find I want some.

they are printed by Microscale (see first sheet in 1/32 section of his website)

I had no problem at all with the 1/72 EF-4C sheet that I used.

But, since they are Microscale and I use the complete Microscale system,,,,,I didn't expect any problems, either.

I had a fairly rough time here, since my last post,,,it actually started just the next day after my post in early April. I've been talking away with y'all, but, haven't had the heart to dig out my notebooks and note cards to post anything down here. Today, I want to talk about what groups the Phanto...

well, the test if going to be when you see their F-4E and put it next to your F-4J from them

As I already said, they wouldn't be changing that area unless they were sure they needed to.
