I was just sitting there looking around and saw this old model box that someone gave me years ago of a huge plane in 1/72 scale and realized that if I could get Coast Guard decals I had tons of pictures of them from when I was in Alaska with Chris!!! Looked online and low and behold Sprue Brothers had a set so I scooped them right up!!! Yay for getting over being stupid!!! Guess I'll be joining Mark and Jeffers once again in Braille scale land in the future and getting this dinosaur out of the shadows!!!  |

Thanks Bucky I can't believe I have had this all these years and forgot about it or that it could be converted to a Coast Guard bird!!!  |

Cool kit Joe! Always kind of wanted to do a AC-130 just don't know where to put it though. Seen those bad boys in action in 'Nam and from my perspective it was an awesome sight while #$%*ing up 'Charlies' day/night  . |
