Good start and great to see you at the bench again Joe!



Jeff

Thanks Jeff, It's not that I haven't been at the bench it's the first in some years posting any builds.

Joe

DAMN IT JOE!!!!!!!!!!!! When you come back to posting, you come back with a vengeance!

Great work as always! What about the Duke main control box sir? I see the small remote control box, but did you also scratch the main unit that goes next to the air condition unit?

Thanks Pete and yes I did build DUKE main box but for some reason it did not show in the photographs. I will post more after I paint and wire up the units together.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Really nice work on this MATV. After seeing the work you've put in I hate to tell you that your workload could've been a bit easier. I had designed a 1/16 AN/VIC-3 set awhile back.

Thanks Michael....any chance I could see your AN/VIC-3. Do you have a web page. I also have the 16th Trumpy MAXPRO which I will tackle after this one.

I also plan on a building a SPARKS roller for this build.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Small update, finished most of the interior and need to add in small details like the headsets, hand phone, ice cooler helmets and weapons, log book and such....

SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL WORK JOE!

Just a couple of things buddy, and most likely you have it corrected. On the BFT screen, on the left, the top cable goes to the key board and the bottem one goes to the CPU and is much thicker than what you have and is not coiled liked that. Also, I don't know if you have it scratched built already, but your missing the CPU for the BFT and the PLGR that sits right next to the screen.

Geez that's nice!

Thanks Epi, and do you have reference of what you are talking about, would help me out.

Thanks,
Joe

Sorry for taking long to reply Joe. Here you go. Remember, when it comes to "COMM's," I was the commo SGT for my last unit. So if you need any help in this area for your build, don't hesitate to ask.
