Thanks Nick I hope to have this completed by 16 JAN and yep, she'll be beautiful
As for the aircraft, The air wing had 80 abd her. F-4B, E-2, (Fujimi), A-1H (L' Arsenal), RA-5C, A3D, (Trumpeter), and whatever else I can come across... I still need the UH-2A/Bs A-4C & E

I have roughly 29 of 80 aircraft right now.


Your gonna build all 80 of them???? WOW!

My airwing still needs the S3s, EA6Bs, E2Cs and F14Ds since more than HALF of my present airwing (just 23 out of 90+) are F18s and 5 Tomcats. Most planes mentioned above are not even available in Cebu. :big_grin:

I heard the Ranger Association knew your model, hope they'd be satisfied (and utterly surprised) with your finished model!

Thanks,
Nick

Yeah, I had sent an email to the Ranger Association to show them what I've been bugging them for research for :heh: I'm still floored by the response I got from them!! :woo_hoo:
I don't think i'll be ding the full airr wing but, will be quite close.
I got the RA-5Cs & A3Ds covered. (6 ea) abt 8 F-4s, 5- A-1Hs, 4 of the E-2s

Can't wait to see your airwing started! Trumpy's aircraft parts are so minute you sometimes lose them. Their newer kits were a big rip-off for me, the clear sprue idea was as dumb as, well...., I don't know..... :big_grin: I hated the clear sprues!

:thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
