ha 2116 super sabre? nice...

got home late last night only to be greeted by the sight of another parcel waiting for me. only had time to assemble a couple of jets but didn't have time to take pics/post. tonight, perhaps...

ya... me too. but mostly stocking up on those witty stands for my f-15s and f/a18e/f. takut nanti no more stock since witty sudah tutup kedai. the hm's plastic stand for the f15 is real crap... and no proper packing for the ordnance either. simply campak into small plastic bag. don't like the idea of having to remove the ordnance/fuel tanks for the central stations just to affix them to the crappy hm stands. that said, cw also suffers from similar deficiencies. witty stands are da best!

weekend activity all sorted out:

corgi red arrows
cw vf-1 wolfpack
cw vf143 pukin' dogs
cw vf 103 jolly rogers aa100
cw vf 103 jolly rogers aa103
ww su 27 test pilot

if only i had the $$$ for this: ultimate cw auction

okay guys... need some help here. if you could only get one tornado, which would you get?

this:


or this:

thanks! i was thinking along the same line...

funny how these euro fighters end up in europe only. one can hardly find any from hkg. gotto grab 'em now 'cause it does look as if wittys stock is slowly diminishing from the market

wah... nice! probably the only typhoon ever to be produced by witty? it's on sight... but haven't pulled the trigger yet. beefing up my aerobatics collection. already got the red arrows and patrouille suisse with the thunderbirds and blue angels joining them soon. wanna get my hands on one of 'em russian knights too... but really gotto pace myself. this poison is lethal...

you already got all witty operational aircrafts???

need help here... for the nose antenna, if due to a manufacturing issue where there is no hole to fit the antenna, do you cut the antenna to glue it on or do you drill a hole for the antenna? if you drill... how?

it's my su-27 test pilot. hahaha... mebbe it was a test ac that's why no hole yet. i would prefer to drill a hole to attach the antenna but noob dunno how.

jdk... no issue. i think any 1/72 kit antenna will fit witty's f14.

no, it's this (but you poison me already ):



yes, suppose to have. got the antenna also but the hole tarak. production issue...

an example of an after-market antenna. this one on my witty black lions:

a different perspective of my f14 collection...

decided to get this instead:







p.s. it's one and the same model, not two

it's an fb site... flyhigh military. can pm the admin... nice and friendly chap.

don't mention it... just paying it forward. i myself got that bit of info from a helpful lyn forumer and not through some investigative hunt.

ahh... the "helpful lyn forumer" has surfaced

wonder anyone interested in this:

looking forward to the weekend. my thunderbirds (my very first f-16 in 1/72!) and blue angels arrived yesterday. expect my stormo to arrive today... that leaves me with the russian knights to complete my aerobatic team series. wanna get the frecce tricolori... but as far as i know, only italeri does them, but at 1/100. personally, have only seen the tricolori and red arrows in action... oh, and rsaf's black knights (which is a misnomer as their jets are in red-white). as far as i know, only hasegawa has the black knights in 1/72... under the old liveries.

couldn't wait till the weekend...

introducing, the thunderbird (usaf):



there's a malaysian flag in there. the last time they were here was in 2009?





...and the blue angle (navy):



incidentally, capt. gregory mcwherter was removed from his post as executive officer of naval base coronado recently (see: https://my.news.yahoo.com/former-blue-angel...185803080.html)

ya... agree. paint like enameling and blue angels hardly any detailing (generally i prefer matte finish over gloss finish)

actually, come to think of it, the other two f/a-18 hms also pretty thick paint...
