Under New Management - Wolf in sheep's clothing Ahh, sorry that did not work out :( Ernie

Thanks Old Dog, very nice build! I am waiting to get a Vector cockpit set before I start on this, I am hopeful that this week will be the week I put in the order, seems something always comes up, but that's the way it goes sometimes. Ernie

Under New Management - Wolf in sheep's clothing For the code letter decals, contact Mike Grant from Mike Grant Decals, he has the correct style, and provided a set for me use when I did this same conversion a while back. Ernie

Finally some progress made! :thumbsup Had to take a break on this for a bit. I added the front and rear windscreens and was using Bare Metal Foil for masking, but was not happy with the result, the last straw being popping the rear windscreen off. Ordered a set of Eduard masks, went to apply...

Two C-123K's were converted to carry cluster bomblets in a dispenser unit in the cargo bay, with a series of small doors on the belly of the aircraft for the dispensing chutes. They also had an extended nose that contained a FLIR turret. These were used at night to salt the Ho Chi Mihn trail...

Cool! :v :thumbsup Ernie

Wasn't bad going into work at about 2:30 in the afternoon, only a couple or three inches of snow then. It picked up right after though. Went out to the butt hut about 5:00 and had 6 0r 7 inches on the ground. Changed to sleet/rain/freezing rain about 7 or 8 pm and has been that way since. Nice...

Our turn now, light snow has started, suppose to pick up in intensity this afternoon and tonight before ending tomorrow morning some time. Kids happy; no school today and potentially tomorrow as well, next week is February vacation. The mix line, where freezing rain and sleet mixes in has been...

Nice! That is a big beastie! I have one to do some day, mine is an older issue and the plastic is very tough and brittle. Best of luck on your build, it will be cool to see one of these built up! Ernie

Wow! Glad everyone and everything is okay! That was a close call. Ernie

Wow! Those look fantastic! Too bad they never made it to market, those would make truly awesome modeling projects! Ernie

A book about the history of the hobby with your insights would be fantastic! I have long been interested in the cottage industry manufactures because of the unique subjects that they have produced and the innovative approaches they have taken to produce kits and bring them to market. One of my...

Thank you for that info Saul. I was wondering about that as looking at the road wheels they looked similar, just the HiPM ones not being nearly as refined. Ernie
