  1. Horrible and very sad. A young man and member of our model club is a crew member on that B-17G "Texas Raider" during the summer show months. I have known him since he was in grade school. Luckily he was not a part of the crew for this show. Prayers and condolences to all the families of those who were lost. Jerry
  2. Where do you go to reset your avatar? Went thru my profile but didn't see anything. Cheers, Jerry
  3. Thanks Brian (Dude), Jennings and Ryan. Got to keep my old mind and hands busy. Like I tell people, it keeps me out of bars and chasing slow women (can't chase fast ones anymore). Cheers, Jerry
  4. Completed this one a week before the F-86F that I posted earlier, the Monogram (ProModeler) 1/48 F-15E Strike Eagle of the 494th Fighter Squadron, Panthers. Two Bobs decals and JDAM's from one of the Hasegawa Weapons kits. Cheers, Jerry
  5. Dragon, aidy, Tom, Ray CAPetrP and Richard.... Thanks for the comments guys.
  6. Most recent completion is the Kinetic 1/32 F-86F-30 Sabre of John Glenn. AMS resin seat, stick, nose ring and rear deck. Combination of kit, Warbird and Cutting Edge decals. Cheers, Jerry
  7. Recently completed Phantom #19. Tamiya 1/32 F-4J of VF-84 "Da Bones". Used Avionix seats, Rhino Resin wheels, Zotz decals and Eduard cockpit PE for the IP's. Cheers, Jerry
  8. When I was in AF ROTC at New Mexico State field trips to Holloman (60 miles away) were made quite often. On one trip they took us out to the sled track to view the sled. Didn't get to see it run though (darn). That's where I saw the F-104 up close and personal. This was '58 - '60 time frame. Jerry
  9. Welcome aboard from Texas Gianluca. Very nice builds. Wish mine looked liked yours when I was 21. Jerry
  10. You are correct. The 50 cal barrels were black. However on the P-47 (at least) the barrel could be covered with a wing gun blast tube which was polished aluminum. Pic below from the P-47 walk around.
  11. Thanks Troy. The one thing I didn't do was glue the prop in place as I am waiting for Harold to release his corrected prop for the "N". Jerry
  12. Latest completion is the Trumpeter 1/32 P-47N Thunderbolt "2 Big and To Heavy/Short Snorter" of 333rd FS/318th FG, April 1945, Le Shima, Ryukyu Islands. Used Zotz Decals, AMS Resin wheels, Master Model gun barrels and Eduard seat belts. Otherwise OOB. Jerry
