Found this picture this afternoon that explains the bow tie symbols. Makes a lot of sense.

I'm not sure how exactly it works, but it is for filming the ordnance leaving the a/c. The test plane itself has several cameras mounted on various locations pointing toward the ordnance being tested. My guess it's to determine angles and that sort of thing. Here's a shot of a VX-23 a/c testing...

So decided to pull a kit out of my stash for the first time in a very long time. Kit is Hasegawa's 1/48 F/A-18E Super Hornet, and will be built using Fightertown Decals VX-23 Salty Dogs decal sheet. I will be building Salty Dog 400. Contemplating an aftermarket cockpit, but a friend made the...

Hasegawa F/A-18E & Fightertown Decals

Latest Acquisitions Thanks errains! It was just b/c of the birthday money that I got what I did today. I've kinda been looking at both kits previously, without any real serious intention of being either, but since I had the money today, I decided to go ahead & get them. We're getting ready to...

Excellent additions to the armies!

Latest Acquisitions Happy Birthday to me! Yesterday was my birthday, and my wife got me a 40 dollar gift card to the local hobby town, and my mom gave me 100 dollars, so I decided to use both at the Hobby Town. Also decided to try out a pair of God Hands nippers, have heard great things about...

Wow, talk about battlefield ingenuity.

For the first time in awhile, I've actually put in a decent bit of time at my desk over the last few days. A couple weeks ago I picked up an egg plane double kit w/ an F-4 and an F-15, and I've spent time every day over the last week working on it. Put down some primer on it last weekend to...

Latest Acquisitions A couple recent acquisitions. I think egg planes are turning in to a bit of an addiction, lol. I stop at almost every hobby shop I find, and look to see if they have any EP kits, and when they have something I don't already have, I typically snag it. The local Hobby Town...

Thanks! I will definitely look into that book.

So I had a picture pop up in a group on Facebook this weekend that really has the gears grinding & rolling in my brain. There was no info with the pic when it was posted, so I used my Google-Fu and was able to at least piece together a bit of information, and came up w/ 1 more picture. This...

Hoping, but no clue whether I'll actually be able to swing it. May not make it, but I am participating in at least 1 group entry, possibly 2.

Thanks guys! This is one that has almost gotten built several times over the last few years, but just never happened, so happy to finally get this one going. So far I'm working on the body, getting the mold lines taken care of, and then I'll put down some primer to see how good a job I did...

Marder IIIM Looking good so far! I built Dragon's command version of the Marder III a few years ago, the Befehlsjager, and it makes for a very nice vehicle.
