Thanks for the info and a great read. Would love to hear more about all you know.. A new thread somewhere?

It is pretty good looking - and happy-looking.. But thet big ASS of the Viggen? To be fair, the F-16 is designed the way the JA 37´s successor is.. And the JA 37 comes from the AJ 37 - which is designed the way it does through some pretty steep requirements. Do not underestimate that m/75 in the merge though..

Both "Val" and the waist-gunners look great.. I do not have the kit but damn, I still "need" those!

Yes, J 29Bs 8and a couple of Cs) in the Congo.

That is some great choices for subjects! Is it really that ugly though? I like the curves.. But i think the MiG-15 looks awful.. Opinions are like asses and all that - (split!)?

Oh.. FH-1 huh? Hmm..

You can call them "external tanks".

Wow, I though I was a grammar nazi and inazi-corrector.. But then it should be "the FOA-camouflage". You would not find many calling it "Fields and Meadows" in Sweden. "Viggen-camo" or the FOA-camo. It was the forerunner to the M90-camo so some call it that "M90-camo" too. Which is not really correct. You can drop "drop tank" entirely really. Like you said, external drop tanks, "extra tansk" for short (sloppy perhaps). That is what they are, on basically all aircraft. Many.. Some, can be dropped if needed..

Was picking up the Mustang and the others.. Saw this 2nd hand P-47 with all the AM for the equivalent of £49.50. Pretty good deal eh?

The Sidewinder is the Swedish produced, on license, AIM-9B. Called "RB 24" in Swedish Service and used on the J 34, J29, J 32B, AJ 37-"family".

Yeah, a little more easy inside a container though. Dousing a fire with it.. Not the best idea. ;9

Scale? Was a fireman for a while.. Had this older dude telling us young fakks how you theoretically can kill a fire with gas.. But it was not adviseable..

That version is pretty cool too. Someone said F-111 in 1/32?? That would be nice, to say the least..

"A little.." But yeah, I agree..

That would be lovely but how about a greatly detailed, Tamiya-fit, family of *perfect* Thunderbolts? No..? I hope the Hellcat annihilates them for what that budget team did to the P-51B/C and P-40B..

Now, that is some good stuff - thanks!

Yeah, makes some kind of sense.. The shipping cost tripling, less so..

I like the sound of "doing what they love" - must be a good start to get a great kit, doing what you like the most?

Ah, no worries. Does not really matter, what matters is that i get to enjoy the build..! Who can keep track of all the weirdos anyways??

One good thing about that whole mess was to show how great, skillful flown P-47s could handle Soviet planes - even MiG-15s.. Pretty childish and backwards behaviour otherwise.. China needs to grow up.

I am on IPMS Gbg. (Tobias) - not often on IPMS Stockholm though, just not as fun.. Yeah I have been thinking about it.. Glad you jumped on the kit as soon as it arrived (well, almost!)

Looking great and it is a nice subject!

Fantastic build, especially the masks and so on, of course. Beautiful subject too. I like his post war one, with the yellow nose and blue rudder alot but this is nice too!

Well, I have praised it on the other forums already but - superb.

Spitfiresa re cool and all, but I have so much else to build.. Though i strongly consider buying atleast one just to support them to keep going.. And following this makes me more and more curious to build it too..
