Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Well folks everything was moving along smoothly. The interior went in with no fuss. Although way off it will work when all the "glass" is installed. The fuselage looked to be a pretty simple project to close up. And then the honeymoon came to an abrupt...

Pearl 2017..The Beginning Thank you for looking in. Joe

Pearl 2017..The Beginning One of the earliest things I learned in this hobby, with aircraft assemble then paint. With the cut aways I found that if I was careful I could get the different sections of the fuselage and wings painted prior to assembly to avoid all the masking. I got the fuse...

Pearl 2017..The Beginning Well here is a quick follow up to the intro. I would show you a couple of pictures of the sprue but to be honest I dislike those as they really show nothing. For myself I like to see some progress. As the title says it is the beginning. First up, I rarely do...

Pearl 2017..The Subject Many thanks for looking in. Joe

Wait.......another build.....another PUBLIC build......what madness is this then? Well I am finishing up an article for consideration to a magazine and the P-40B is currently in between video sessions. Now is also the time where I begin to look towards December 7 and what that means. This...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Construction Well folks here I am after a long delay. First of all let me say this. All photos have now been lost at photobucket. I am not going to redo them at all. I am using Imgur to post my updates. On to the build. With the work on the cockpit...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Cockpit Painting Many thanks my friend. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Cockpit Painting Guys thanks for looking in. Saul this time no. A simple OD/Grey scheme so I can play more with the weathering. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Cockpit Painting Well my friends here I am to finally get started on the Hawk. First up is the cockpit. That means clean up of the resin, really not bad at all, and getting some color. After cleanup I began with a base coat of Flat Black Rustoleum, this is...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Thank you all for looking in. Joe

I have been lost in many things as of late. Not much time really to post, even to really go online for more than a few minutes every now and then. It is time to go back to basics. Time to bring out an old friend. It seems that everytime I want to try something new I turn to this kit. i...

Many many thanks. Joe

Many many thanks. Tank I am glad I can be of help. Hardest part of this whole chipping thing to me is working with the right paints. About 70% of what I have is enamel and that stuff does not work well for the method. I am changing that up a bit though. Joe

Very cool. I have not tried to light up anything to this point. Joe

Many many thanks all. Saul you must have an ability to see the future. I have actually been asked to build more armor. Most of it however will not be publicly viewed, at least until they are published. Finishing up one now that should go off to the editor in the next week or so. More...

Many thanks all. You are very kind. Joe

Well she is finished. At least I am going to call her finished. I did not add the antenna as my logic told me there were some things that would have been removed prior to installation as a gate guard. I am happy with the way this looks as in the last 37 years I have done only a dozen or so...
