This will be the load out that'll go on the A-10. I don't have any small JDAM's or they'd be on there too.

If you have the time to wait, I think it is Meng who have recently come out with some current 1/48 US aircraft weapons sets- air to air and air to ground.

Yeah I've seen them. Don't really need them for this one. I'm good with what I have. Thanks though.

Absolutely exquisite! The way you fit the work together is fantastic! So clean! I notice the Zap-A-Gap bottle (I think) at the edge of your cutting board.... if so, is that what you use to secure the PE pieces? Have you checked into the UV hardening adhesives? If so, what’s your take on these?
