I have several jets, all in 1/144 but I'm going to commit to my plan to do 3 Phantoms. I should be able to do all the cockpits at the same time and with little detail in there not much work to do. Paint the outside, a few decals without the hundreds of maintenance marks to put on, landing gear and a few tanks and/or bombs and done. To those who dither at the start of a GB, I'm the exact opposite. I LOVE thinking about what to build from the moment the GBs are announced. I'm even thinking about what the next cycle could be. Airframes , I understand the upset that house renovations can cause, but once it's done, it will be so much nicer.

I like the perfect crease lines, that's a good touch!

Think I'm gonna go with this.

But as I don't have a bulged bomb bay, I'll do it open with bombs loaded.

Would an IJN airplane with green crosses and no props count?
Sorry, I'm just bored.

Rob, do you have anything that would fit the build category?

Should have a jet or two spare. What era/type do you like?

I'll just watch for now. I do have a special project in mind for "what's on the workbench".
I should have everything required by April.

So who's this April girl then, and what sort of stuff does she need ?

Damned annoyed !
Been going through stuff and collecting bits and pieces for the Jaguar builds, and found a ladder in the spares box which, with some minor adjustments/additions would be perfect as a Jag crew ladder.
I was holding it in a pair of tweezers, checking where to do the mods, when it "pinged", never to be seen again !
Very annoying, as this ladder was from a Monogram F-100 kit, and had been stored away for over 40 years !!

I'm still looking for it, but I may have to buy a pack of two 3D-printed ladders, in order to complete the model as planned, at a cost which is around half the cost of the Heller kit, and more than the current second-hand prices of the ESCI kit !

Yep, that counts.

Thanks Karl, I recon I could easily modify one of those ladders to suit.
