New Mexico ANG? Yep I'd do that if there were decals?

What's that cross?

The cross is the Zia sun symbol on the flag of New Mexico

Cool! Thanks John, you're awesome!

You're on Carlos - Decals ordered (not here until November...), All I need now is a kit!

Thanks Bruce - glad you like it!

At some point I have a 1/48 F-104C to build, and I've purchased a selection of Tamiya sprays to do that - white and a few different shades of metallic.

Well it's up on it's legs, just. The U/C is the definite weak point of this kit - they're ALWAYs bent and wobbly and this harder plastic has made no difference what-so-ever. I think for this reason alone when I make my NM ANG bird I'll pick up a Tamiya kit.

Current progress - the aircraft is essentially finished, I'm just finishing up the bombs and rockets to fit to it.

Very nice.

Thanks Lyle! I do like those markings.

That's looking cracking Stuart! Very cool livery.

Very nice!
