1/48 Revell B-24D Gary to be honest I am a bit jealous when I see or read of folks getting the chance to view these aircraft in real life. I am much too far out with no windows of opportunity to do the same. This will be constructed as a cut away project. I just hope I can do it justice. Joe

It has been quite a while since I did this. This will be a long term, in depth project that will have quite a bit of work. The subject... Joe

Time to get off my butt and do something. The subject.... Something strait forward and simple. Joe

You are all very kind. Saul I will forever be my own worst critic. I demand perfection from myself yet never seem to achieve it. Joe

Very kind all. Many thanks. Joe

Well my friends we call this one done. Well we did a while ago just never took the time to finish it out. Added were custom decals as well as the finishing touches for the props and such. All in all this is to represent an aircraft of the 1st Bomb Group. The pictures turned out like...

MP the white? The oils? You are right about the clears. When I realized what happened it was too late to get them off without a lot of damage and did not have alternatives. Joe

My friends this build is finished. Following the last update the little things were completed and attached. There was one issue that is now a glaring reminder to me that it is not over until it is over. One of the last attachments was the clear parts. Following my normal procedure I fitted...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering Three Many thanks. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering Three Ok this is the last, or what I thought was the last, of the weathering. For this part I did go back over the different panels with the oils again. This time my main goal was to add a bit of blending. I did manage to get some better...

Many many thanks. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering Two Ok for this update let me talk about my methods. First up for me was a drybrush of Testors Flat Aluminium. This concentrated on areas I felt and have seen received excess wear and tear on the paint due to crew use or even weathering. Along...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Weathering One With the continuing movement forward with the videos on this build it is time to throw out some better, used very loosely, quality images of the weathering. First up, and each of these will be a kind of summary of what happened. First the...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Decals Very kind, Thank you. Joe

Many many thanks all. Not bad for an aircraft guy. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Decals My friend I am actually working on another update, hopefully soon. Joe

Part of the reason my building seems to have taken a much slower pace. Recently I have been working on this project. Even captured part of the cover. I am pretty thrilled as this is my third article with them with more on the way. I am also humbled and honored that Martyn, the editor...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Decals Another update. Decals are on. Again for this build the markings are not my focus. This will however be the last update showing what I had planned to show. After this I go a bit off road. The decals went down with no issues. I used MicroSol to...
