1/35 Tacom King Tiger W/Porsche Turret Its Back Many thanks. Joe

Many thanks sir. Joe

1/35 Tacom King Tiger W/Porsche Turret Its Back Guess what is back on the bench. Tacom 1/35 King Tiger. Did just a little since the last time I showed it. Not much to be honest. Had to refresh my mind as to how I was going to tackle it. One thing that is done is the cuts are made...

I had thought about that but just wasn't sure. That side is however missing something, the hydraulic system. One of the things that glares to me when I look at the pictures. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Weathering Begun Well crap. Thanks MP, truly. That one really just avoided me. I have done that on every bird I have weathered. Sadly for this one I had put a coat or two of flat over those before I started the other streaking. But I have filed it away. Again thank...

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Weathering Begun Ok friends a post with two objectives. First: I have begun the weathering on the 1/32 Hasegawa P-40E. Using both a cheap set of oils and Abteilung 502 paints. I want to give this build a finish that suggests a story of an aircraft that has seen some hard...

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Markings Thank you for looking in. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Markings That was my thought as well and that caused me to reset to default on all adjustments. This is with iso at 200, white balance is florescent with adjustments to get the green to show, the exposure is +3. Going to have to ponder this and play with it more. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Markings An update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. This is a happy but yet unhappy update. First the happy. The markings are on. I have done just a little chipping so far with more subtle weathering to follow. Next up will be an oil filter to try to tone down the...

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Wing On A quick update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. In short the wing is on. It took a massive six hour battle but it is on. There was some collateral damage. Of the damage some I was able to work with, the rest I cannot fix without total tear down. Not sure I want to go...

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Wing Work No worries my friend. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Wing Work You are very kind. Thank you. MP the debate over interior colors is nearly as vicious at times as different shades of OD. I went with what made logical sense to me. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Wing Work Well my friends another update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. This one is all about the wings. Construction of the framework is done. The stringers are in. The ammo box is in. The wing has been prepped for the armament. Next up is adding some color. First...

I am going to add one here that is not construction wise my best, not realistically the best, nor is it the most appealing. To me though it holds a very special place in my heart. A great deal of emotion went into the build and the posting of it. To some this may not be a surprise. Joe

1/32 Hasegawa P-40E Fuselage Closed How about another update on the Hasegawa 1/32 P-40E. First up here are the last pictures of the interior prior to closing the fuselage. With that ready I can begin the reconstruction of the wing. Starting with the framework. I did do a bit...
