  1. in the clip they mentioned smaller ships with minimal air defenses. Also you could overwhelm the close in defenses since jdam are relatively cheap by targeting the the ship with multiple jdams only one has to land to disable sink the ship. For better defended ships I agree stand offs are essential to survive
  2. canon 7d mark2 with the 70-200 no extender although I have the 1.4 did not schelp it along, we went hiking in the desert of southern california and I streamlined my equipment. I did not expect to go to fleet week due to the expected crowds we were pleasantly surprised it was not to bad. I have more pictures and will post some more. The blues were great, the f-16 demo had wonderful paint but did not fly particularly close. the L-29 group was great as well and did a lot of precision flying mimicking the blues. runner ups were the united airlines demo funny to see the big airliner putting on a show. I lived near Langly and Oceana for a time and went to 2 or three airshows a year but the shows were on NAS and AFB so quite different. I wish I had the time to tour some of the ships but swambo would not have been amused. Did a lot of other fun stuff in San Francisco we did a walking tour of Height Ashbury which was fun went to see the 4 sisters in Japan town as well. It is a lovely city.
  3. Hard to tell without a sound meter or at least a c model to compare. They were loud the f 16 was louder I think. Later the next day we did a tour of Height Ashbury and on the way back got buzzed over head by the solo planes that got my attention. I have been to a lot of airshow I lived in tidewater near Langley and oceana and went to those almost every year this was so different due to the non airbase and marine setting it was a thrill. The 777 United plane was a hoot
  4. still have more to process! here is the entire gallery https://davidsdigitalvision.zenfolio.com/p197064383
  5. I always wanted to go to fleet week. I am an avid photographer as well as model builder. This trip was planned for a long time but did not realize it was going to be fleet week!. The crowds were not to bad. I got a nice perch near pier 39 near some other photographers. FYI it was shot with a canon 7d mark2 with a 70-200 zoom mostly at 100 iso. I have near 700 photos from the that day alone so more to come if there is an interest or i can post the zenfolio address here
  6. use the toxic painter filters and a 95n overlay
  7. I loved model master curses to rustoleum company. consider the ak interactive real colors the supposedly do research on to match real relics to their paint the faded olive drab looks good https://ak-interactive.com/product/olive-drab-faded/ they are lacquers as well
  8. I agree they look so good but fit so poorly
  9. ak ineteractive real colors has dull dark green https://ak-interactive.com/product/dull-dark-green-fs-34092-10ml/ supposedly for the real colors they colormatch real objects. Availible from scale hobbyist and others

  12. superb building skills love the oil canning effect the markings look painted so either excellent painting or decaling
  13. itis about the journey not the arrival. the hard part of it for me is when it gets screwed up( whups forget to empty the water trap or hmm should have primed the whole model not just the wings. see my posts about the revell p 51)) the effort not to slam it into a wall sometimes is immense, I have put a model on the shelf rarely but 99% of the time I have finished it. sometimes I mutter the mantra as I search for a tiny part on the floor modeling is fun repeated numerous times. I have found that the necessity of figuring out how to fix it bleeds off into life makes me more flexible in other endeavours when things go wrong. The enjoyment for me is the process not the admiring of the wall shelf
  14. your company your rules however a russian helmet to dress up my mig 29 is by the time you convert currany is $8+ usd and shipping is $14 , let's adda figure the newest one is 21 plus usd so two light weight items of 30 plus 14 shipping is $44.00 I know no one is is making me buy one but what is nice to have becomes I pass. sorry your work is beautiful but at athrid the cost of model too expensive
