I love your lawn-darts and want to throw them in my yard until I pierce my skull with one...

Starfighters, cool! I used to know an airline pilot who discribed his job as beeing a "bus driver". I never understood that untill I found out he used to be in the RNAF flying Starfighters. According to him, after a Starfighter, everything flies like a bus.

Love the Starfighter. Boy, those were from the golden years. Borg, I had a friend at GE that flew P-51s in Asia. Another friend tried to get him back into flying general aviation - he said pretty much the same thing.

It would be VERY hard for me to close up such detailed work! You've got a winner Fermis.Fermis wrote:Thanks all!
As far as fit and whatnot...no sweat. Very well engineered...there's even a few separate panels on the belly, eliminating a seam...doesn't take much sanding! Perfect kit for an NMF!!! The only pesky thing about the kit are the pin marks (on main gears and bottom of control surfaces)...I just ignored em.Manny1943 wrote: Yeah, they do look good...I wish you could buy these MOFOs in 1/72nd scale...

It's up to you how much money you want to spend and how many new words you want to create "correcting" something.
Re: 1/48 Hasegawa F-104's(Luft)
I think that fermis, pg265, Thomas and Adam, Handiabled, Paul, and a dozen or so others need to do this. You guys are amazingly talented! Ok...Manny, too.
