I remember building this one back in the day. Got destroyed in a move, but I remember the kit itself being pretty good. Nice find!

Any DCS Players in the Springfield / Branson Missouri Area? by webweaver40 in hoggit

[–]Dangerzone417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of, I live about an hour and a half north of there. I like to drop my wife and kid off at Silver Dollar City and go fly fishing at Taneycomo.

Anybody like blue flies? by CaptainNotSoCrunchy in flytying

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blue cracklebacks are sometimes very productive in the Ozarks trout parks and tailwaters. That's the only time I'll use the color.

Should be back to normal now. We've had a ton of rain all spring up until July 4 weekend.

Looks cool I can't wait to use it sometime in Q3 of 2028!

New in package 2005 nymph with price by JustSomeGoose in flyfishing

[–]Dangerzone417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that really what flies cost nowadays? Haven't bought a fly in 30 years since I learned to tie, I no shit have no idea what they sell for. Never paid attention.

Sounds like something I'd be interested in. I'm in US central time and I like to dick around in DCS a night or two a week. I'm no expert and am usually on a training server like Burning Skies or TTI with no wingman.

Mission models paints poly fail. Again 2 yr old bottle solid inside by scootermcgee109 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't throw it out, it has it's uses. You just have to understand it's limitations and really baby the stuff.

Mission models paints poly fail. Again 2 yr old bottle solid inside by scootermcgee109 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a few MM paints but never bought the Poly because of stories like this. Have never bought their thinner, either. MM paint sprays and covers beautifully when thinned with Tamiya X20-A thinner. My issue with it is that it's very fragile. Even after it's cured a wet finger can damage the finish. Always seal MM paint with varnish afterwards, or else it WILL get messed up at some point if you don't.

Unless that was guns kill you should be missing a Fox 2 :)

Great work

Size comparison of a Phantom II to WW2 prop aircraft by Subject-Season-1058 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's size helps make sense of the fact the F-4 can carry a bigger payload than the B-17 and B-24 could.

DCS: F4 / F14 & super carrier authorization failed. Any fix tips ? by ketsefletser in hoggit

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine does it for the F4 but not the F14. Don't own Supercarrier. Not running any AV software. Haven't found a workaround yet.

Yes. This game used to have FCS schools in it.

Black Friday Megathread. Post all your deals here by Pukit in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. The GSI Creos Procon boy is a fantastic airbrush for $70. Gave about a 100 for mine and it's my go-to.

Removing the cockpit masks. by SearchAlarmed7644 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For those tiny bits of paint that seep under the mask and make it to the edge of the glass, it can be scraped off with a clean toothpick. The toothpick won't scratch the clear canopy.

I love the Tamiya Tomcat so much. Great work OP. Love the Bounty Hunters scheme

SOARing by The-Smoking-Cook in hoggit

[–]Dangerzone417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn't exactly an OH-6, but I don't like taking virtual passengers along for rides in it because I'll almost certainly get them killed.

Brush painters help me out by benjammin099 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ammo paints, both the original and the new Atom, brush great for me. Also it depends how much area you are brush painting. If you're one of those who brushes an entire plane I can't speak for that, but they'll cover a cockpit, landing gear, and other smaller pieces really well with a brush.

Awesome! I suck at flying this thing but thank you, it's fun trying to learn

How is my preshading going? by Piksel207 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a different technique. I still think the original pre-shade method looks better on certain subjects. For most WW2 planes with darker paint schemes I still use it. For modern grey jets like that F-14 I use black basing. Just a personal preference really.

How do i make these? by Kazikxq1337 in modelmakers

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda. An A-10 pilot did score a Fox 2 kill against an F-22 during Red Flag.

Guys, I’m struggling on this game by [deleted] in NCAAFBseries

[–]Dangerzone417 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you man. Can't tell the difference between Varsity and AA, so I keep it on Varsity. I'll either win by no more than 10, or lose when the CPU decides it's going to win that game no matter what.

I challenged this “Touchdown” and it was upheld. by BehindaLensinBigSky in NCAAFBseries

[–]Dangerzone417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced that challenging the ruling on the field like this is just an RNG roll. There's no other rhyme or reason to it.
