    I know, I know, I'm faster now. LOL And where's a transporter when you need one? Seriously, it started out as a fix for crumpled foam and I thot, what the heck, I'm the only one that will ever see it, then it turned out pretty good. It is so oversized and not scale, but I just replaced the OEM foam part that I had cut away. I think on the 2nd, I will just cut off all of the VIR and design it a little closer to actual. The VIRs are such a part of the 'look' of an F-4, it's a shame not to improve those a bit. Best, LB

        Hey Y'all, It's time to see a therapist or go outside and play. "You must stop, before you go insane, MAN." LOL LOL New Vents for the underside were fun to design. It's a hobby, it's a hobby, it's just a hobby. I keep thinking how DD must have felt when he was building all the venting on the A-10... Best, LB

                  BBR, Sure, anything is doable, however, you know all it takes is 1)Time, 2) Effort, 3) Desire, and 4) the Willingness to do it. Don't think I can put all four of those together for this build. The operating canopies will happen somewhere along the line, just not on this airframe. The weather here today is 73 and no wind e.g. PERFECT Flying Weather and I am stuck washing outdoor furniture while squeezing in some modeling time. Hope you're flying! best, LB

                          I am still working on my crew and cockpit. I couldn't print it myself so I ordered the parts from MotionRC finally. The Pilots are from Jethangar.com. I still need to do a final run on the colors and shading.

                                I finally changed the 3D nozzles for more scale appearance of the VFMA-451 scheme.

                                        Thanks, and yes I saw it in the background. I'm familiar with Vario, but didn't realize they had an early Cobra. Beautiful model!

                                          Just about to upgrade the cockpit. I washed the parts with Revell modelshampoo before airbrushing the parts.
