Those are awesome kits. My two favorites would be the Huey, and the A-10.

I took all of my birthday and Christmas gift cards and went wild I will do a WiP when it comes time to build the research vessel.
I definitely have to agree with you on the A-10. One of my favorite aircrafts. 0ne man wrecking machine

Man o man TJ! I’ve been eye balling both of those kits. Nice you got the Dave with the rigging. Can you tell me what kit number that is?

I agree with keavdog TJ, those are two awesome kits. Wasn’t the “Pete” by Tamiya in 1/50th scale? Whenever I see a biplane seaplane I think of that old movie “Murphy’s War”
Was that when Peter O"Toole sank the German submarine by dropping a torpedo on it using an old barge.
He flew a Duck
Thanks keavdog. I never realized that it was a Grumman Duck that was in “Murphy’s War.”
As soon as I’m able to finish the Shuttle, this one’s moving to the very front of the line. I was originally going to do it in the Lonestar gunfighters paint scheme. Up until about two hours ago, I did not know that there was a decal set for the 50th anniversary of the Wild Weasels. I chose to do the latter scheme. I’m pretty stoked!!!

This is the Tamiya 1/48 kit that I did about a decade ago. I saw the decal sheet in an email from a decal mfgr based out of Austin. That kicked off a flurry of Texas-based aircraft (I’m a native who has lived here my entire life) - an F-101 Voodoo, George W. Bush’s F-102, and one or two more.

That is a killer build. I must say they are the most colorful paint schemes I’ve ever seen on fighter jets. Texas, where things are bigger and better. Cool story.
Nice! I love the 16s. That was the first toy plane I ever owned. I’m also planning on doing a Wild-Weasel inspired build! It’s more of a Macross thing rather than an actual aircraft, but I’m hoping to do a Vietnam F-4 paint scheme.

I have the Tamiya F-16 Block 25/32 in my stash. Still trying to figure out how I want to model it. That decal set looks way cool. I may have to look into it. The other one I really like is the venom look.

If there was EVER a paint scheme to grab peoples attention, it’s definitely that one. The demo teams always have the cool ones.
