CaptainA

I just started the Trumpeter kit, so I am very interested in your progress on this one. So far you have given me some really good ideas. The landing gear is uh-mazing.

BTW, I am currently working on a F14a with Lt. Pete Maverick Mitchell decals for a model contest with a Back to the Eightys theme.

If you think about it, you can nitpick just about any show out there. I always find myself complaining about the uniforms and awards in just about every military show I have ever seen. It really detracts from the quality of the movie for me. Some of the mistakes even make the movie ridiculous and hard to watch. When I was a kid and Blue Max came out, I knew the camo schemes were all wrong. In Flyboys, all the Germans seem to fly red triplanes. And I could go on and on. I have recently watched some of these shows again without the critical eye for minutiae, and they were more entertaining. So I will stive to make my models as accurate as possible, and just let Hollywood make stupid mistakes. But if Hollywood ever needs a technical advisor, I am available.

I got one at my LHS when they first came out. It looks like a good kit. I wish they woul branch out to the WWI kits where WNW left off.

I have this in my stash. It is good to see on built up. Very nice job.
