Beeg, You are great. And for the last time, I hope, which size Robart wheel and tire set is the consensus, 3.5" or 3.75"? Best, LB

[QUOTE=Callie Graphics;n176573]Have had some great graphic requests for this new bird! Here are a few we posted today. Also, a huge thanks to Steve for sending me an instrument panel to use as a template for the 3D printed panel!
Thanks guys!
Callie
Callie you are the best! Thank you for the custom Howard Pardue VMF-223 Graphics you made for me 2 summers ago. It was a tribute to my Dad's squadron.
I can't wait for the Custom A-4 VMA-223 graphics, that is the aircraft, #13, my Dad, CPL D. A. LACEY, worked on when he was in the Marines. I purchased the A-4 for a project that my kids and my Dad can work on. My father passed away on 1/27 so now the A-4 is a tribute to him.
The Marines Dream set you just created is amazing. Thank you for all you do, your work sometimes has a deeper meaning than just beautiful models! Again, thank you.

I hear ya', thank you all. Just wanted to express my gratitude to Callie for doing an awesome job on all of our graphics. I have noticed that when a modeler requests a specific scheme, alot of times there is some kind of personal connection. Other times it is just a 'unique' factor. But none the less we choose our graphics for some reason or another. I tend to lean towards Marines schemes because 2 of my cousins, my Dad, myself all served in the Marines. My son is getting all his stuff together for his journey to the Yellow Footprints.
When I see everyone's planes and see how beautiful they are, I think you are all artists. This community on HS is so great for sharing their knowledge and experiences. Whether it is the mechanical side, electronics, or scale detail and painting / weathering, all you folks are great. Again thank you guys.
I read more than I post, well, because I haven't honed my skills as much. :)

I had doubts about how it was gonna turn out but I'm satisfied with it. Callie has a great product and deserves most of the credit.Hey, she is smiling down at you knowing that you are getting away with something rotten!!!! Many blessings!! Jerry;)

I just balanced my Corsair, I used two extra weights that came with it and made a total of 6 weights in the cowl. I balance my airplanes with the landing gear up so that when it comes down and swings forward I will have a slight nose-heavy bias ,Does six weights sound about right for everyone else?
this is a head-on view of a 1/7 pilot in The Birdcage cockpit. He would be just right to be looking through a gun sight if I had one but I have no printer.1 Photo
