"The
Huns Are Here!
The Huns Are HERE!" |
Oct 18 2007
Finally, after the world's
longest gestation period, the new Cutting Edge 1/32 F-100D Super Sabre decal
sets are here and shipping now!
I'm really pressed for time right
now and I'll send you more info on these new sheets a bit later (and we received
a bunch more new stuff), but here they are:
CED32087
F-100D-65-NA, 56-3000
"Triple Zilch," Col Raymond Toliver, 20th TFW Wing Commander,
RAF Wethersfield, Essex, England, Late 1957. This is the best-documented
of the several various markings schemes applied to Triple Zilch over its
lifetime. |

CED32088
F-100D-25-NA, 55-3637, 20th
TFW, RAF Wethersfield, UK. This is the beautiful silver-painted jet with
the large red/yellow/blue lightning bolts on the fuselage and fin, and the
red/yellow/blue bands around the nose. This was one of the most-requested
schemes in our F-100 survey! |

* POSTING COMMENTS
TO MY BLOG:
I've received several questions
about how to post a comment on my blog.
- First, I LOVE it when you
take the time to post your thoughts and information to my blog! YES,
please post!
- Second, my blog is moderated
(by me) so there will be a slight delay before your comment appears. I've
only refused one comment, which was a personal question that I answered
direct to the contributor. Needless to say, the reason my blog is
moderated is that I'm extremely happy to receive comments (positive or
negative) that have real content. I'm NOT happy to receive comments (which
luckily, so far, I have not) that are typical of some of the BS'ing we see
on the modeling websites. In a nutshell, if you have something useful to
say, please say it! If you have a criticism, you're welcome to say that
too, but you need to document your position.
- You've told me again and
again that you trust me, and Meteor, to get things "right." I am
very grateful for your trust and will continue to work very hard to ensure
we continue to earn it! One thing I'm determined to do (besides doing my
best to keep my blog interesting and fresh) is to ensure that you will
never waste your time reading anything posted there.
- OK, on to "how to
post." First, DO NOT click the "Login" button in the upper
right corner just under the header graphic (the airplanes). I wish this
button was not there, because it's actually only for me to log onto my
site for administrative purposes.
- If you didn't understand #4,
know this: if your browser page changes to all white with a blue box in
the middle headed by a "Circle W," you've clicked the wrong
button! Back out of that page and go back to my blog.
- Posting is VERY simple, as
long as you click the right button. Comments are specific to individual
posts, so simply scroll to the bottom of the post you want to talk about
and find the gray "Comments" button that is immediately after
the "Posted by Admin" label.
- When you click the
"Comments" button you'll be taken to a new page that again shows
the article you want to comment on. Scroll all the way to the bottom of
the article and you'll see the area you'll fill in to add your comment.
You'll fill in the following items:
- Name (I REQUIRE you
to 'fess up to who you are. I will not post anonymous comments or ones
that do not include your full name.
- Mail (your email;
again, I will not post anonymous comments, and in any case I may need to
contact you with questions, feedback, etc.) YOUR EMAIL WILL NOT BE
PUBLICLY POSTED ON THE BLOG, unless you include it in the text of your
comment.
- Website (it's OK to
leave this blank if you wish)
- Type your specific
comments into the big box at the bottom.
- You may preview your
comment by clicking the "Preview" button; otherwise just click
the "Post" button.
- That's all there is to it!
- I'll review your comments
within a few hours. So far, I've been pretty good at checking the blog
every few hours, but sometimes I'm on the road or otherwise occupied,
but in general you should see your comment posted within a day or
so-hopefully sooner.
OK, just jump on over to my blog
now to check out the Ju 87 info and all the previous posts on upcoming projects,
industry news, etc.!
