The artwork for sheets 32004 and 32005 are done. An announcement will also be made when each sheet is actually emailed to Microscale for printing.

Starfighter Jock Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Very nice, I have the Academy 1/32 F/A-18C on the workbench right now.

Guest Smitty44 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 (edited) So glad to see you hitting the Marine Corps subjects hard Dave! For some reason I thought you were throwing in the towel, and boy I am glad you are not. Got any pics of that 232 bird? Also there is a 323 bird I have seen in this video at about 1:19 that is about the sweetest Low viz Charlie Hornet paint job I have ever seen. Have you seen any more of her. I can't find stills anywhere. It says 2017 Edited June 1, 2017 by Smitty44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
