Here are four of my completions. I cannot find any better pics because they were lost in a computer update about a couple of months ago.

Merry Christmas to all of you guys.

Not much. It was cold there and the bay of Naples stank really bad with dead livestock floating around and raw sewage.

My first Christmas away from home was 1978 in Naples, Italy

Yes, it is coming close to the 83rd anniversary of Pearl. I also have to look at Wake Island only because it has family history for me. I remember when I was 10 or 11 and I saw a program on TV that the WWII vets were in their late 40's and early 50's. Now they are almost all gone. I do feel a...

Wow! You have a 3/4 in sheet of ply? I would be thankful just for that. :bigrin: I am thankful just for knowing you guys as modeling friends and acquaintances.

Knowing this about you and your reference data surely makes me see you in a different light. I thought you were just a know it all and for that I do apologize. I remember when you came on at Swanny's and I sure didn't see you as a reference library. Now that I know a little more about you, I am...

I mucked around a while to try and get something that resembles non-specular gray blue. This was the closest that I could get. The sort of salmon pink won't really be seen through the cockpit and the starkness of the insignia white should tone down once the weathering is applied. As for the rest...

It would be nice to see you again, Paul.

That Zero is a great kit. I finished mine the beginning of this year.

As far as the flaps go, it's only full flaps or none at all. I did it just to do something different. Sort of artistic license.

Every time I try, Bob, I get a " image too large for this site" Bob.

The guys at the club wouldn't know the difference, John.

The biggest contention for me concerning any Tamiya Corsair kit is the wing panel fit. There is no secure connection when the outer panels are brought to mate up with the inner ones. As a result, there is always a misalignment between the two. In the 32 scale kits it is very much less so but it...

Yeah, those wing panels are the reason I don't have a 48 Corsair.

My late aunt would have really loved that rooster. The other three are as awesome as well.

Well Bakelite makes sense to me. Fairly heat resistant but after a while brittle. That color looks pretty authentic to me, Paddy. Keep on keeping on, as we say here. AS for the cotter pins in the linkages I am sure that you could come up with a suitable replacement as well as being more scale...

I am working on the Tamiya birdcage this week. I gots ideas.
