Hi guys

After I saw two builds someone did on a F-15 and YF-22 I was inspired to do a modern aircraft. I went to my stash where I have an F-14 Super Tomcat and F-18 Super Hornet both by Revell and in 1/48 scale. They are way to big for me. If I was to build them they would never fit in my cabinet which means they would sit on it (barley) and collect dust. I would be willing to trade them together or individually for something(s) in 1/72. I opened the F-14 last night but the part bags are still sealed. The F-18 is unopened.

I grabbed this photo of the web but couldn't find the same for the F18 I have. I will post the actual photos sometime tonight.

Hey dirkpitt289, I still have these 3 kits: (posted these about a year ago - http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/modeling/ill-trade-u-4-a-8323-7.html#post443733)

I didn't think this thread was around anymore..but I'm glad it is!

Hey, I have 3 modern kits that I'm not needing. I've had them for well over 12 years now, and I just don't see myself building them in the near future (or distant future, for that matter)...

They are:
BEN 1/100 scale Grumman A-6A
BEN 1/100 scale Douglas A-4E
BEN 1/100 scale Vought A-7A

All are NIB, the plastic wrap is even intact on the A-6 and A-7...

Not sure what I could use in trade, but if anyone's interested, let me know!

1/100 scale is a pretty decent size for detail, just a bit smaller than 1/72.

I have 2 1/48 P-51D's. If you'd want to trade you can pick which manufacturer you want ... Revell or ARII

Here are better photos and they are of the actuall models.

Thank you for the offer but for right now I think I'll stick with the 1/72 scale.

Nice Kits Dirk!

I somehow ended up with 2 x Special Hobby 1/72 Messerschmitt ME 264's (p/n 72025)!

In a perfect world I would like to swap one of my Special Hobby 1/72 Messerschmitt ME 264's for a Special Hobby 1/72 Messerschmitt ME 264 "with BMW 801 engines" (p/n 72156).

Any other knuckle-heads out there that bought 2 x Messerschmitt ME 264 "with BMW 801 engines" and are looking to get a kit of the ealier version?

Or sane people that just want the Jumo powered version, instead of the BMW version?

Will entertain both.

Hoping against hope, Jim

Dirk, is the tomcat 1/72 scale? I can't tell for sure and I think I might have a spare set of interior photo-etch for that kit in 1/72.

I wish it was. They are both 1/48 scale. That is why I put them up. Not that they wouldn't be nice kits but they are going to be HUGE when completed.

My bad.

I bought a Revell 1/48 B-17 about 6 years ago and made/painted the cockpit sections and cut a hole ready for the open crew trap door ( hole needs thinning and building with putty to get 100% spot on). It has two Eduard photo-etched detail sets which were £10 each and remain unused though open. I also have a whole pile of information on the original planes missions. I think the kit was about £30 so I must have lashed out £50 on it.

Would anyone be interested in a swap for something smaller? Maybe a couple of smaller WW11 kits in 1/48, Spits, Hurricane or P-40's P-51 or P-38? Or maybe a 1/72 scale B-17 or Liberator?

I don't have display space for it in my new house and so it would be better going to a new home.

Just curious is it possible to post pics of how much work has been done?
