Kit Basher

Thanks, Bo! Thanks, Carl! Thanks, Chris! Thanks, Scott! Thanks, Bob! Thanks, Don!

Thanks, Cliff!

No, these would be way too small. I have no idea where you could get them in 1/16 scale.

Buy this kit:

Thanks, Johnny! Yes, this is the "427 S/C" kit. It does not come with bumpers, only the jack points.

That looks fantastic!

Thanks, Bruce! I get what you did there.

Thanks, Joe! Thanks, Lee! Thanks, Ray! Means a lot coming from "The Man" Thanks, Jonathan!

Thanks, Dann! Thanks, JC! Thanks, Gary! Thanks, Craig!

Revell kit. The stripe is MM "Classic White", and the blue is MM "Royal Blue Pearl" Thanks for looking.

Thanks, Henry!

Thanks, Lee! You can't get much cheaper than free!

NICE! Excellent paint work.

Thanks, Bill! Thanks, Ray! Thanks, Snake! Thanks, Jim!

Thanks, Scott! I haven't seen the Birds for a while, but they were awesome in F-16s. Until last June, the last time I saw the Blues they were flying F-4s, obviously a long time ago. The show this summer was absolutely amazing!

Thanks, Keith! Thanks, Andre!

Thanks, Jim!

I bought this kit at a flea market for $1. It's not my usual area of interest, but hey, it was only a dollar. Then I went to see the Blues last June, and.... "Aha! Now I know what I can do with that kit!" Since I only paid a buck for the kit, I figured I could splurge for the CAM decals. Very nice, thin and totally opaque. The yellow trim is painted with Testors Yellow, and the blue is MM Blue Angel Blue.

Looks great! That's a fun kit to build.

That looks great! I'm working on this kit right now, I hope mine comes out as good as yours. Did you use the kit decals for the blue stripes on the tires? I chickened out on those, but yours look really good, I may have to rethink that.

I remember the same experience. Many tiny parts of all different colors. Still, I picked one up at a local auction last year, and I think I will give it another go at some point.

Took me a while to find this, but it might work for you:

That's a great video. I'm going to look for more like this, much better than watching junk TV. I enjoy seeing how anything is made, and it's great to see 21st century manufacturing in the good ol' USA. Thanks for posting it, Bill.

That is awesome, Janne. I bet it does have a thousand and one stories, and a few more after they drink that case of Budweiser!
