    As a member of the Air Force stationed at Korat RTAFB, I worked many hours on 440, repairing the Doppler nav system.

    Fantastic build! Great weathering and great production video! Thanks. Since perfection seems to be your goal, I’d suggest less weathering on the Shrikes. In my experience, missiles were kept very clean (unlike the aircraft). Smudges from dirty hands maybe, but no long streaks of wash.

    Excellent authenticity. Looks superb as a warrior it was. I love the wash app and the cool look of the "shark-mouth" artistry. That's a thumbs up...

    Basically a dumb down of Trumpeter’s 1/32 version. I built the 1/32 D and that thing is massive.

    Yeah, even the 1/72 is huge so I can imagine how big the 1/32 is. I have very limited space for my finished models to I'll have to stick to 1/72... atlest for now.

    Yes, there are a lot of inaccuracies in that kit. There are aftermarket to fix some of the issues, but I could not get hold of all the AM.

    Beautiful build but why does everyone make the aircraft so filthy. I know aircraft get dirty but why do modelers make them look like they’ve been dropped into a mud pit? Love the weasel Thuds by the way.

    Thanks @Flack Cat, I think the Thud is an awesome aircraft - love the wild weasels too :) In this specific case I got the idea from the photo that I used as a thumbnail for the Thud build series. I couldn't get hold of the decals for that individual, so I had to settle with the kit decals (which I later found out that they were wrong). Bummer! For me, the weathering is the part of the build where I turn the build into my own and I try to find interesting reference photos with used and abused aircrafts to give me inspiration for that.

    Sometimes I think that some kits have an apprentice in charge of the design and QA and in some cases the master himself does the job.... :) Some kits are really good and they seem to be on top of their research, but some kits are horrible...
