Thought I would start a new thread where I'll try and post some sort of scale model content every Wednesday. 22Nov23 A fist full of halftracks! Had these kits for awhile and wanted to build them as a trio...so what better time then now to start them. The original plan was OotB, but that...

:hmm:...P-47D Razorback, Tamiya 1/48...maybe, just maybe

Outstanding Boss!! I think finish is super interesting. :pilot

One of my last Integrated Air Defense System (aka...IADS) threat briefing I gave just before I retired way back in 2008 used several sources form these two programs. :pilot

Slow but steady progress. Lesson learned is to take photos during your builds as you can catch oopsie-daisy moments that need a fix'in. :doh: :smack:

Wow Greg that was fast and it looks good. I was going to suggest a light coat from the golden paints we saw at your shop but the Tamiya seems to have worked out great. :vgood: @moon puppy; As the front is the pilot you don't want him blinded, of course but that would hold just as true for...

This is looking Great Greg. I spent 3yrs supporting Block 50 Wild Weasels ("WW" 95th FW). It will be interesting to see if the I models sport the gold canopy. The "gold" laminate was to defuse dazzling from lasing either from the ground or airborne. Based on the below photo I say they...

Yep it was an awesome time visiting today! And that Spit is even better in person...Excellent JOB Greg!! :tens:

Finished up the Zimmerit for the ol Bear. This is a great product and very easy to use. If Monroe Perpu offers a set for your build you can't go wrong in use this paper Zimmerit. A little trimming of the edges and some damage to the Zimm then on with the rest of the build. :victory:

Got a little more bench time in. Today was Zimmerit day...but the easy way!! :coolio2: I'm trying out embossed paper Zimmerit set from Monroe Perpu. Super easy to use took about hour and a half to do up lower hull. I use Gator Glue to attach the Zimm and it work wonderfully. Thanks for...

Had a build day with iambrb, aka Bruce. Since it's been many moons since I actually worked on anything I figured I would start on something new. While the kit molds are from the 70's with a slight face life at some point this kit is actually not horrible. The primary goal is COMPLETION! There...
