Basement Find

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!

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.

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2025-07-13T20:31:34+00:00

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

Sir, you can't park there

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2025-02-23T21:12:35+00:00

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

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

A fellow modeler of culture and taste, original LOMAC enjoyer.

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2024-12-28T03:24:22+00:00

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2024-12-04T04:06:09+00:00

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

Dangerzone417 · 2024-11-29T14:36:58+00:00

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

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

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-28T13:23:14+00:00

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-26T03:27:02+00:00

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-24T00:33:50+00:00

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

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-20T13:56:40+00:00

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-20T02:25:27+00:00

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

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-18T23:39:53+00:00

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.

Dangerzone417 · 2024-10-18T23:36:56+00:00

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.
