Is anyone aware of a 1/144 seated modern jet fighter pilot that could go in

Thanks!

We haven't beat this horse for awhwile.  Little eBay factoids were printed
in today's Huntsville (AL) Times.
Percent of auctions won in the last minute---15.  Now, we all know the

Africa" on the "back burner" for a month. Now that I want to finish it,

possible to order/purchase replacement parts for Academy kits?

How many folks here have already managed to get the New Enterprise
1701-A re-fit.  Or if not how many are waiting to get it.  If you do
what do you think of this Kit , everyone says that it's just such so
Huge.  I'm going to see if I can pick one up for the weekend at the Big

what is usually being driven/blown up in Iraq?
guess a 1/32 scale would work too for a 1/35 diorama as I would

I know its kinda early, but is a kit in the works?
And was there ever a kit of the "Guppy" transport?

I am about to build a Tamiya A-10 Warthog. I am adding in the Eduard
photo etch set and the Two Bobs Bagram decals.
My question is, as I have to order the paint on line, the Bagram
decals seem to be in low viz grey. Does anyone have either an

When I got the Chipmaster, John S. very kindly helped me out with a VFD,
motor and two step pulley, because the mechanical variator was FUBARed.
I had forgotten about the two step pulley, leaving it on the "slow"
