Thanks. As to rigging. I shared your fear for a long long time but I really like biplanes so I decided to face some demons, lol. For this project I used EZ-line. This is in my opinion the easiest rigging method/product. EZ-line is an elastic cord that allows not only for nice taut rigging...

Thanks for the feedback all. I may throw my hat in the ring for the WW1 campaign Moon. Just gotta decide on a subject. And maybe the african one as well. At any rate I finished the Stearman. Revell N2S-3 Kaydet NAS Corpus Christi Late 1942-43. Zach

This is a wonderful kit. Fit and engineering are great! here are some WIP shots. Construction is done and I am about to move on to rigging. Zach

Here is my latest. It's the Revell 1/48 F-18E Super Hornet, VFA-115 from the 2002-2003 Cruise that encompassed operations for OEF, Southern Watch, & OIF aboard USS Abraham Lincoln. It was the Super Bug's first cruise and it's first com. And I believe it was the longest combat cruise undertaken...

To answer the questions. I have used it out of the bottle and the rattle can but the most adverse results have been from the rattle can. As to an alternative I have some of the Alcad II Klear Kote that I use for my NMF finishes and I tried it out last night and it worked nicely and I find it...

Well Dullcote has been on my bench for as long as I have modeled (roughly 24 years as an on and off builder) but it is soon to go way of almost every other testors product that I once used. I am finding that as I use more subtle finishing techniques that Dullcote is just too hot and has a...

Excited to see how this comes together. I like the Wellington and have considered this kit. Zach

Here is a little in progress for my most recent build. I pulled this off the Shelf of doom as I have not completed a project in nearly two years (since my daughter was born). This is in part due to being a new parent and in part because I have been largely working on large scale high ambition...

Thanks for the comments all. As to the pristine nature it does have some subtle weathering but As it happens this was a fairly new aircraft when Dunn was flying it. He had the aircraft in the line for only eight days before he was shot down over France while flying it. Thus I decided to show a...

My latest completion. Been a little busy with my first daughter due soon to do much while in progress shots. This is the new Revell kit completed with the Barracudacast resin update set for the oil cooler radiator and ailerons, I also used a Quickboost Spitfire seat to spruce up the interior...

Yeah I found that site a while back and I love it. Great source for anything A-26 related. On an unrelated note this is a great A-26 story as well: Bacrdi Bomber Zach

The standard Invader slurry tank could carry 760 Imperial Gallons of retardant. It was an internal system installed in the bomb bay. I had originally thought I would build out the tank in the bomb bay for this build but I could not find good pictures for the project. A-26 Invader specs...

Okay so here we go with some actual build pictures. The starting point here is the Monogram A-26B kit. It is a more recent boxing of this kit and I have to say the molds have not held up all that well. Fit is generally poor at this point and the plastic in this issue is soft and prone to...

Ok so this is my first project thread on here and it is actually a project I am returning too and one that has had at least one identity change over its lifespan. I have always had a love for the A/B-26 Invader especially its long, interesting and often clandestine career in the years after...

I guess Moon Puppy has a point I did not post a Spitfire.... Here we go.... B) Zach

Hey Chukw, Yeah hunkered down and working from home today. We have almost 2 feet off snow on the back deck and I have yet to see a snow plow drive by! Statewide travel ban is in effect for the foreseeable future... Moon - I am kinda all over the place with subject matter. I like WW2 subject...

New here.... I build aircraft mostly but also dabble in realspace subjects. Sometimes I play with tracks too. Zach

Hi y'all from Sunny Central Connecticut (Well today, in the middle of Blizzard Juno right now)..... Chukw enlightened me to this crowd a while ago when I was posting more regularly at Modeling Madness and I have been lurking for a while and finally decided to join the other day. This seems like...
