Nicely done.
Did the real Blue Angels fly with yellow sparrows on their birds? If so, wonder why they haven’t continued the tradition. |

Neat.
Now you need to build at least three more. Or five. |

View Quote Yea, I researched all the Phantom pics I could find since the rears were yellow and the fronts blue. Cannot figure out why the did that. But this is from the 1969 season. |

Nice build!
Tool box suggests methodical. Didja ever strip a brush to 1 bristle for fine work? Likely make those now. |

A socialist may indeed be academically superior.
And yet, they are most certainly emotionally retarded. Public education is the opiate of the masses. |

I got my Optivisor in watchmaker's school in the late 60's.
The only original parts are the gray visor and the lens, everything else has been replaced a number of times. Lenses lightly scratched, but still going strong. If I'm working on something it's on. |

It's so annoying trying to have a Socratic argument with a psychopath.

Haven't built a model in a looong time. I could never master the gloss finish on a large area.

And this goofy paint would not buff out. I had one spot I fought with for two weeks. I’d polish it, it would look great and an hour later it looked like I never touched it. I decanted Tamiya TS-15 spray bomb into a bottle and then airbrushed it. I learned to lay it on thick and heavy to the point of it almost running. I actually had to “roll” the model as the fresh paint started flashing off. To make it look really great, wet sand with 1200 grit and respray. FWIW, my Iwata airbrush could not pass enough paint with a 0.3 tip. I had to use my Grex airbrush with a fan attachment. |
