    Thanks Pete, will do! It's the "dumb" part I'm afraid of!

    I agree, I am currently working on my private (all flight requirements and exams are done - just need my checkride to finish) and have always hesitated calling myself a pilot until one day my instructor told me "If you can preflight, take off, and land in one piece - you're a pilot". Made sense to me. Hoping to get my checkride in the next few weeks, terrified to do it but I won't stop this close to my goal!

    MUCH better!

    DO you know when the F-35 sets will be available again?
  5. Daywalker
    That Viper is GORGEOUS! I've seen the real deal and this looks spot on - well done!
  6. Daywalker
    Amazing stuff! I love that scheme and am VERY impressed with the patchy, weather beaten metal effects of the exhaust area. BRAVO!
  7. Daywalker
    Bravo Pete, you really have your hands full with this many Vipers at once! I did two at once, and that almost caused me to take up knitting. I'll be watching this thread, some excellent choices with the markings.

    Impressive work on that underside fairing, I have made a mental note to follow your lead when I build mine!
  9. Daywalker
    Doh! Sorry, that's what I meant!

    I really like what you have done here, like you said it may not be 100% but it sure looks right to me! Who's to say they didn't touch up the paint on the full size the day after the video/photos were taken to look exactly like you have portrayed it here. Loving this build, thank you for posting your work!

    Wow, what an amazing story, even better supplemented by the photos of him growing up from a little boy in Dad's flight helmet to a Marine flying the F-35. Your story brought a tear to my eye as well, thank you for sharing that with all of us.

    Damn! Missed out on the Trumpeter A-4 sets. Any chance of another run?
  13. Daywalker
    BUMP!

    Wish he would reprint some of those decal sheets, there are a number of them I would love to purchase.

    I will also be ordering a few sets of the Trumpeter gear when it's ready!
  16. Daywalker
    Excellent work, like the subtle worn effects on the flight deck. Hope to start mine soon, still going through and cleaning up the gazillion parts!

    Book arrived today - amazingly quick! If I hadn't seen the USPS driver drop it off I would never have believed that they were the ones delivering it so quickly.
  18. Daywalker
    Wow, very excited about this one! Just ordered my copy as well.

    Bravo Matt, she is gorgeous! Of all the models I have built over the years, a few have parts or assemblies I will never forget. That rigging bullet is near the top of that list! Just clipping it off of the spruce and cleaning up the spruce attachment point gave me so much anxiety!
  20. Daywalker
    Where did you find the early mid and late explanation? I looked but didn't see it.
  21. Daywalker
    Excellent choice, I will be getting one of these!
  22. Daywalker
    Do you know what the FAA's motto is? We're not happy until YOU'RE not happy!

    I only use the kabuki tape (or Tamiya tape) now, never had a problem with them.
  24. Daywalker
    I had this happen to me in the past, main reason I stopped using vinyl for masks. I paint with Tamiya acrylics, so like you said the straight up IPA won't work. The only thing that worked for me was a VERY gentle sanding with some ultra fine sanding pads, can't remember which one I used but I think it was either 3000 or 4000 grit.

    Just ordered my copy, love paging through the "Spitfire in my workshop" book, though every time I do I feel this sudden urge to sell off my kit collection and take up knitting...
