As always, thanks much, gents! Happy modeling! Semper Fi, Masterguns

See title. Can’t find any pics of a Strike Eagle carrying one on the www opposite of the AIM-120? Thanks! Semper Fi, Masterguns

Roger that & thanks. That is more interesting info to add to my archives. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Other than the bottom front swept back antenna. GPS dome & shimmy dampner, are there any other obvious external mods that someone could pick up on? Any significant changes in the cockpit? Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Artistic license with the red gear & inside gear doors? Gear is gloss white & only the edge of the inside of the gear doors is painted red. Also, Naval Phantoms did not use external ECM pods like the USAF. Just some friendly observations. Not bashing you. Respectfully. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Those masked markings are absolutely outstanding. Semper Fi, Masterguns

I remember static line jumping out of the hell hole from Broncos! We could fit three Recon Marines “nut to butt” (Marine vernacular for us in bodily positional close quarters) in the back cargo compartment (Marine A & D Models) & the pilot would pull up & out we went. Good times! Sorry for OT. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Chuck, I continue to be in awe of your modeling skills with this build. Looks real nice. Salute!

Nice! I ordered a few sets last week from SHM as they are the only shop that offers the correct scale diameter with the weld marks. No one else offers both of these features that I could find & the recs hear strongly pointed toward the SHM set. Thanks for your article. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Very nice looking set. No doubt about it. However, one pays too much cash for a set where the exhaust diameter is not much larger than the incorrect kit part. Semper Fi, Masterguns

YES. That's about the only place to order them from, unless you get them second hand. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Well, gents...I decided to nab a few sets from Sierra Hotels long nozzles with corrected vents because of the exterior detail that's present & mention of correct diameter. They're a few bones less costly than the other brands, which are all good in their way. I like the effect the kit (or photo etch) burner rings will provide once assembled over the blades. SH doesn't show OOS as of this writing but I wouldn't wait too long if you're in the market for an accurate appearing set of cans. Y'all know it's hard to get stock from SH sometimes. Thanks for ALL the comments & suggestions. I really appreciate the help! Semper Fi, Masterguns

Cool idea. I will have to keep that in mind if I can't more weld detailed cans on the exterior. Thanks. Semper Fi, Masterguns

Thank you, gents!

Thanks, Barry. I appreciate your input.
