Very nice job, Gil. I've had a go at vacuform and decided it wasn't my cup of tea. If I could find the resin kit, I'd probably give it a shot. All I have to do is find one. I already have the Monogram F-8 kit and I'm getting used to working with resin add-ons so, that's a possible avenue.

I would love to see one of the model companies produce an RF-8 with markings for VFP-63, VFP-62, France, & the Philippines. Hasagawa at least put out a decent kits of the RF-4C and Saab S35 Draken. Tarangus released the SH/SF Viggen & Kitty Hawk released the F9F-8P. There have been a number of F-8 Crusader kits from Hasagawa & Monogram. One of the Hasagawa boxings even included decals for VFP-63.

If you'll send the list to me at nicksr1125@gmail.com, I'll pass the information on to our chapter.

No offense, Gil but, I've seen some of your builds & I'm glad I don't have to compete with you. I'm strictly a relaxation builder & enjoy learning from the experts. It's great to be a member of an organization that promotes competition & mentoring.

James, if you'll email me at nicksr@mertes.us with a price, I'll mail you a check. North American Hobbies said they had one but, haven't responded to a couple of PM's on Facebook.

That's something I'd forgotten about. Do you have the manufacturer & part number?

Thanks, James. I may take you up on that. I found one on ebay yesterday that has the right number but, the picture didn't match. I'll let you know. It's supposed to arrive early next week.

I'm looking for a copy of Aeromaster sheet 48-740 Vigilant Vigi's Part 3. I know, I'm rather late to the game but, that's the way I build. I've checked most of the likely sites, Rare Plane Detective & ebay, and a google search. I found 1 company (North American Hobbies) that shows the sheet on their facebook page. I sent a PM 2 days ago but haven't heard back from them yet. Not desperate but would like to acquire the sheet sooner rather than later. Do any of ya'll have any other suggestions?

Won an Eduard Mig-21 PFM at the Nationals here in Columbus. Have since purchased: Eduard Detail Set Eduard Seat Eduard Exhaust Eduard Ordnance Set Eduard Wheels G Factor Landing Gear Master Model Pitot Tube I spent more on goodies than the kit would have cost. But, it's my 1st major attempt at resin & photoetch.

Found a cleaning station at Hobby Lobby last year that seems to work pretty well. Replace your paint pot with the appropriate cleaner, set the airbrush in the mount on the cleaner & shoot. The cleaning station has about an 8 oz jar & filter in the exhaust port. Seems it was less than $20.00 and I used 1 of their 40% off coupons.

I'm looking for an Eagle Strike decal sheet that has been out of stock for some time. I think the number is 48-001. It's for 1/48 F-4 Phantoms. Specifically, VF-121 which used to be the West Coast RAG squadron. If you have one and would be willing to sell it, send me an email: nicksr@mertes.us. I'm even open to the part of the sheet with just the VF-121 markings.
