1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B All Aboard..Crew Many many thanks. Saul you are absolutely correct. I have spent a good deal of time in the last few days watching videos and looking at pictures. Some with a bit of sadness. I will never forget. I build to remember. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B All Aboard..Crew How about a really quick update on the 1/24 JU-87. Still filling out the detail on the interior, this update shows Hanz and Franz are now occupying the positions that they are required to. There were some minor things like the Morse set that is just too...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Working the Interior. Many many thanks. The bulkheads were formed by using a contour gauge to transfer the shape to paper and then the paper to transfer to plastic. Dry fitting the bulkhead allowed me to refine the shape. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Working the Interior. Ok here I go again. Kind of a jump in progress this time around. Although it did seem to be more of one step forward followed by a dozen backwards. First up, the interior got its paint. Gloss Grey followed by Alclad Chrome. I then went to work...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B A Little Tail (Work) Many many thanks. Joe

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B A Little Tail (Work) Before I can really get into the detailing on the interior of the fuselage I need to prep the interior of the fuselage a bit. The tail is framed, this may not be accurate but it does match up with the rivets on the exterior. The stringers are...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B Not Forgotten It has been a while How about I bring this back to the bench. First up is to take a good look at the kit parts. The interior looks pretty dang good actually. I am thinking I will go with this for the most part. There is a bit I want to cut off to...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Fuselage Closed Many many thanks. I have not played too much with editing programs. Just to resize actually. My biggest issue has been that I shoot on a white background and end up with grey. Just cannot seem to get past that. Joe

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Fuselage Closed Many thanks. Ok, a redo of sorts. I was not happy at all with the previous pictures. Part of this is I am working on my picture taking and trying to get good print level pictures. To that end here are a couple of others. These are marginally...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Fuselage Closed Just a quick update. All the components have been installed into the fuselage. And the fuselage has now been closed up. There were some issues with the fuselage seam. It was of my own making. There is just a few small items to finish off for...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Very Close Now fingers are crossed that it will all go together like it dry fit. Joe

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Very Close Back again and the interior is getting close. With a bit of fixing on the cockpit I was able to move on to working on the engine. Once the parts were cleaned up a bit I used Alclad Polished Aluminium, Gloss Grey, Gloss Black, and a wash of...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Finished An update. The cockpit is finished off. From the kit we have the floor, rear bulkhead, inner frame (where the seat rests), the control stick, and the instrument panel and frame. The seat is a resin cast of the seat out of the Hasegawa P-40E. All...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Part Three Another really quick update. The cockpit comes closer to being finished. Some detail painting as well as a pretty heavy handed wash with Acrylics. Other than the seat and headrest it is done. I am a bit put off by the seat though and will...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B The Beginning Many many thanks. I do have a plan for the decals. They appear pretty bad right now. I am hoping to be able to scan and then do my own. Joe
