    Agreed, I also have quite a few RB Models and Live Resin M135 barrel sets (the latter to use inside the minigun pods along with the kit parts).

    Almost forgot... For those that don't like resin (or simply prefer greater value over detail) this is quite a lot for the price. SUU-11/A Minigun pods, LAU-68 (four rocket pods with frangible fairings), and LAU-61 (four rocket pods with frangible fairings), which can sit in for the XM-157 & 159. These also provide domed covers which are not included in the Metallic Detail sets (in case one is building a rather early Cobra):

    I haven't seen this release posted yet. Another sharkmouth scheme but no combat. I did find the included M35 cannon extremely basic. While getting the CMK set, I did find bundles from Metallic Detail kits for the armament: Highly detailed turrets: MDR3217 MDR3218 M18 gun pods: XM157 rocket pods (sold in pairs): XM158 pair of rocket pods (very welcomed as Fireball no longer makes theirs): XM159 with optional warheads: And for those building a TOW capable bird, M65 rocket launchers: Best of all, I found a vendor selling them in bundles. I already received Eduard PE detail sets, Quinta's cockpit, MicroDesigns' detail sets, Metallic Details cockpit and exterior, ICM's AH-1G Late and with Crew, with CMK's M35 and Special Hobby's USMC AH-1G on the way. I also found an ancient Eduard AH-1G PE set (for Revell) which has Bell Cobra on the rudder pedals.

    This site really needs a WOW emoticon as the Like is far too understated!

    Cool! You still have another sharkmouth to do! Regards,

    I love the sharkmouth! Are they decals? If so, whose? Regards,

    Guys, I was chatting with Roy Sutherland of Barracuda Studios (Barracuda Decals and Barracudacast) and informed him about the commonality of parts between the Texan and P-51 Mustang. While the commonality may be for post war aircraft, what about during war time? Were the seats, tires (main wheels and tail) the same? What other P-51 Mustang parts could be used? I ask since they offer a nice range of products and interior stencils for the Mustang. Regards,

    I guess you're referring to their earlier efforts. If so, I agree. Fit and engineering have improved a lot over the years and it is accuracy which is hit or miss (depending on where they got their references from). Don't tease, if you know what I know let's just say there might be a better kit coming along. Regards,

    So, how was the kit to build? I have the Su-9U to build for my son. Regards,

    It is great when there is truth in advertising = Fine Molds! Regards,

    Welcome back!

    Following with interest as I saw these flying while in New York and Barbados with an example in a museum in each place! I posted a walk around photo set of the one on display at the Intrepid Sea Air & Space Museum. If you think it may be of use, let me know to post the link. Regards,

    You know I like it! Regards,

    fixed! Regards,

    Thanks GeeBee ad RBrown! I know Karaya released some decal sheets based on profiles in these books (which I need to pick up on my next trip to Eastern Europe). I wonder if any of the sheets have the bomb markings? I was about to post my measurements from the Fw 190F-8 I came across in Kissimmee Florida but, without knowing the provenance of the spinner, what's the point? Regards,
  16. Sharkmouth
    I received my decals and immediately reviewed them. At the moment, they are still on the front page of that site. I'm hoping AMS gets their HI-PEG back on the market (although I understand it is to improve the molds). Regards,
  17. Sharkmouth
    Thanks Boris, I have yet to see anything hung under a Fw 190 with a sharkmouth. Regards,
  18. Sharkmouth
    Darn! I almost got this kit thinking there exists a photo of a Fw 190F-8 with a shark mouth on the fuel tank! None there at all! Regards,
  19. Sharkmouth
    Go with the Friul tracks as they are the correct type for this version whereas the kit tracks are for the Merkava 1 or 2 (being the earliest type). Regards,
  20. Sharkmouth
    Does Sharkmouth like the sharkmouth Typhoon? YES!
  21. Sharkmouth
    I will surely get an OV-10A if they release one! I want this in my collection Regards,
  22. Sharkmouth
    Howard, the box art is of the T-6G Tomcat as used by the French, Portuguese, and Congo. From what I see in my kit of the earlier release, everything for this version was already in the box and the Shark Mouth is on the superb decal sheet from Zotz The Mosquito would be an excellent follow up if KittyHawk continues their series. Regards,

    At 90 pixels, my signature image isn't tall but it is wide. Is width really an issue since it doesn't affect scrolling? In any case, you have reminded me to update the link to this year's fundraiser. Regards,
  24. Sharkmouth
    Nice Falcons all around! Regards,
  25. Sharkmouth
    Yes, it helps tremendously! Thank you for the photos. Regards,
