Move over Matchbox. Yours will no longer be the only F-86A Sabre in 1/72 scale. God be praised!

I finished applying Fred's decals tonight. The gold leaf stripes have a disconcerting habit of "squirming" as the Solva-Set cures, so they aren't perfect, but they are done. A little more Solva-Set and a semi-gloss clear coat will finish these vintage beauties off. In other news, In the...

I get to do the decals for the Big 110 too! Clear paper decals on the left, white paper one on the right. These are only paper proofs. We surmise Rafy will make his own cutter, USCGC Chandeleur, WPB-1319. I put the sharkmouths in for the fun of it. I did manage to resist the urge to fill...

Well, I've had Joe's book for a while now. I did finally settle on a paint scheme for the father figure. Wish me luck!

I enjoyed watching your build and I learned a lot about Bugatti racing machines along the way! If a Chuck Sterns award could be shipped to UK, you would certainly be the winner! A vintage model, meticulously completed. Bravo!

Lots of nice pictures! Thanks for posting! Johnny Quest robot spy!? Cool! I wonder where the windows went on the Razor Crest build?

https://www.halberdmodel.co/products/piper-enforcer-model-1971-conversion-set-for-eduard-kit-p-51d-1-48-scale Resin conversion made in Ukraine. Neet-o! I wish for a 1/72 version, myself.

Nice save! I can easily see how much more accurate the 1/72 SBS DH.88 Comet is than the 1957 Airfix tooling. I suspect a new tool 1/72 Comet is on the way from jolly old England. Time will tell.

"Marlin-on-a-steek" no longer! The TLAR 1/700 kit includes the full hull version of the P5M-1 Marlin as well. Carl's decals are exceptional! Both 1/350 and 1/700 scale Back Aft decals will be available on tlarmodels.com pretty soon!

From the fishing boats alongside, evening chow might very well be fresh lobster and mutton snapper. They don't always eat chicken. I really am putting this together! No more fooling around! (Well, maybe a little bit.) Fitting the superstructure to the hull assembly requires some...

Those are great pictures! Where did the Piper Enforcer come from? What scale was it? Greg's GT-40 build is very realistic. I wonder why it wasn't awarded. The flaming Me-109E is an eye-catcher! Thanks for posting some highlights!

Right?! Thanks very much guys! :notworthy The Bushmaster 25mm comes from Northrup Grumman Medium Caliber Systems and shares only a few features in common with earlier cannons. Such as "Bang-bang-bang! lots of pointy hard things fly really fast out of the other end". :lol:

With the use of Back Aft Models decals and the TLAR Models 1/700 Martin P5M-1 waterline Marlin, the tiniest installment of honoring LT David Ellis Gay's US Navy service is complete. The littlest "Sunday Flyer".

Foredeck and Mk.38 Gun mount test fit. I appreciate the kudos! Eyesight can be magnified. I do have good, steady hands and that is key.

Orkin? I missed something.
