My next Project.

After many winters of absence, I returned. Forgotten is the old PW, and the e-mail account has long ceased to exist. My past login name I do not remember. So I decided to start fresh. Hi, it's me...I am back again.

I build this kit over the last 3 month. Overall it is very nice kit and pretty straight forward. The only thing I didn't quite like are the Trumpeter single link tracks. They never seem to work quite right. This isn't the first Trumpeter kit I had problems with the single link tracks. I build it...

So, here is my Mulligan. I decided on Trumpeter's 1/72 TU-16. This kit has been sitting on my shelf for several years now and has been calling my name. It looks like a fairly easy and decent kit. Well, lets see what happens. Joe

Finally I made it. Here is my project for the fantastic CTA 2 campaign. I decided in ICM's Spitfire Mk.IX flown by Polish Ace Euginiusz Horbaczewski. My plan is to finish this model in RAF Desert camo. There are a ton of parts to this kit including a full engine and some maintenance shop...

Low and behold.....I actually managed to finish a model. Here is Tamiya's T-72 straight out of the box. It is actually a pretty nice kit and even has some PE for the engine grills. It also came with the hoses for the external fuel tanks. It was fun to build. Here are some pictures. Joe

Here is my entry for the "Modern Armor". Meng's AMX-30B. I always wanted to build an AMX-30 but I could never get myself to try the old Heller kit. So I am trying my luck with the Meng kit. This is also my first Meng kit I try to build. Well, lets see how this goes. Joe

I went to the IPMS Ft. Crook show yesterday which was held at the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, NE. Since it was my first time there I focused more on the 1 to 1 scale models then the little ones. Unfortunately the lighting wasn't very good and I didn't bring a tri-pod for my...

The armor plate that was used on some jeeps in WW2, was it a field modification or was it applied in the factory? Thanks, Joe

Here I go again trying my luck on a wingy thingy. I think it is called insanity. Trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome every time. In this case me building an airplane and expecting to finish it and not having any or very little troubles. My record on planes is...

Are there any canopy mask for a Junkers 88 C-6 in 1/48 available. And if so who sells them? Thanks for your help. Joe

I couldn't come up with a better name. Anyway, Thought behind this is build any military vehicle, plane, ship either ww2 or modern. But for ww2 stuf you paint and use modern makings and for modern stuff you paint and mark in ww2 style. So for example..A Sherman or Tiger in 3 color Nato and a...

As a base color for US WW2 vehicles ( M7 Priest in this case), do I use OD or OG? Thanks, Joe

I got this kit of Squadron's Mystery Deal. Initially I intended it as a present for our club's gift exchange but after taking a peek inside the box I decided to keep it for myself :blush: . I started the kit yesterday and it goes together very nicely. I don't really have any complaints about...

Well actually he is my son's 9 year old stepson Tommie. Anyway, after seeing my stash last year he he wanted to build a model real bad. He had is sight already on a Italeri 1/48 Tornado F3. I took me a while to convince that it would e a little out of his league. So he said that he wanted to...

Just saw this on the squadron website. http://www.squadron.com/product-p/tr03702.htm

Here is my entry for the Campaign. Joe

Here is my entry.
