I finally got some more paint on this thing. The livery that I originally planned to finish the model in had multi colored stripes running the length of the car on the roof, hood, trunk, and sides. The ones on the hood ran across rows of louvers. The aftermarket decals simply would not lay down...

I finally got some paint on this thing. However, when I pulled off the masks, some of the paint was lifted. I used Tamiya Acrylics over Alclad primer per my usual practice and let each color coat cure a few days before applying the masks. I used an AML vinyl mask set for the first time to...

Where I live the average high temperature ranges from 66F in January to 78F in August. When the daytime temp drops below 60F people wear parkas, wool hats, and gloves. On the 1/2 dozen days per year that it snows in the higher elevations of the mountains about 40 miles east of my home, people...

that I will never do again (with apologies to David Foster Wallace). My wife gave me this for Christmas 2014. I'm a big motorsports fan, but I don't have any partcular interest in Nascar. However, despite accompanying me to several Indy Car races, my wife thinks all auto races are Nascar...

The Monogram kit is a notoriously ill fitting turd that requires a pound of putty, a ton of patience, and an insane amount of enthusiasm to build. The Trumpeter kit, on the other hand, has a precise, no filler needed fit, an important, for me anyway, factor when choosing a kit for a GB. PS...

I'm in with this: I'll be using an aftermarket cockpit and aftermarket decals.

Nice detail work.

Is this open to all weather interceptors too?

Gorgeous!

On Becoming a God in Central Florida

The car had a single 2.5 litre/150 cubic inch double overhead cam V8 engine. The DOHC configuration made the heads look huge. The engine was canted to get it as low as possible in the chassis.

1/43 Model Factory Hiro kit. The kit's high parts count, small size, and amazing level of detail make it about the fiddliest model that I have ever tried to build. With the exception of rubber tires and an acetate windshield, the kit is all white metal and photo etch. The first picture is the...

Revell kit. A nice kit with a decent level of detail, good fit, and reasonably accurate. I added an Eduard zoom set which provides additional detail to the cockpit and forward crew stations. Unfortunately, not much can be seen once the fuselage is closed. In fact, so little of the fuselage...

I hope the kit is better than the box art.

Excellent! It reminds me of the movie; Go Tell the Spartans.

Great looking Sea Harrier!

Excellent model!
