Beautiful work! I'd love to know the story behind "Pit stop"!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

It’s usually something along those lines… a bad habit or silly move that squadron mates find out about… or it’s a natural sounding word that goes with the name.BlackSheep214 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2024 6:37 pmBathroom breaks?Duke Maddog wrote: ↑Wed Jul 10, 2024 5:14 pm Beautiful work!

Re: Academy 1/48 scale F-16 Fighting Falcon
Yup..
The only unrealistic call sign I see coming from the movie, Top Gun is Maverick. I’ve always like Goose as a call sign.
I’d love to hear stories from pilots in avaiation military service on how they got their call sign from their peers. I’m sure the US Army infantry/tankers have theirs.

Re: Academy 1/48 scale F-16 Fighting Falcon
Very nice F16. Seems any kit I built as a kid always has a special attraction for me. I remember building the monogram F-16 as a kid and being fascinated by the main landing gear bay and the cool looking intake under the nose 
I have the Hasegawa 1/72 ‘D’ that I want to build one day if I ever find some interesting markings. The 1/72 Tamiya kit at the LHS has been calling my name as well of late…
