Thanks for posting the pics Starman. You've got a nice collection of 'fast movers' there. I notice the iconic 'Tante JU' there as well. Mine is arriving next week to fill a gap in my Eastern Front owing to a JU 88 being moved from Poland to MTO! As soon as this Intruder hits this side of the pond I will bag it.

Starman, 'absoolootley'!! a great gathering of models you have there. My collection is mainly WWII, with exception of a few from other conflicts IE. Korea, Nam and Desert Storm. Too late now to make it as colourful as your collection. Drab is mainly the colour among my 200+ models.

Nice pics Star, makes me glad I've ordered all 3. And a Sundowners to boot. Just before a big move. Great.

Re: USN VA-35 Black Panthers, AJ500, USS Nimitz, 1978 **UPDATED PICTURES**

Well mine showed up yesterday, and I must say I'm delighted to have an A-6!! That being said I do have some nitpicky issues,which do not really detract from the model as a whole, but I did notice them...

First is what looks like damage and maybe a repair where the right intake joins the fuselage at the top....the other side does not look like this:



Then just generally the panel lines are not nearly as precise and crisp as on my AJ210 F-14...it just looks sloppy up close...

Hey J.P., It looks good with the other navy iron.
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Cool Re: USN VA-35 Black Panthers, AJ500, USS Nimitz, 1978 **UPDATED PICTURES**

Nice pics Starman. They model looks better than on the pre-pro pics. I'm glad I pre-ordered this one! In terms of some of the issues noted, I don't think we'll ever get perfection. Because of my location it's difficult to return a model if I'm not happy but I reckon if a model is clearly flawed it should be returned.
