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...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Many many thanks. MP that is the plan for sure. Mark appreciate that although I disagree. Joe

Pearl 2017..Getting Close Many many thanks. Joe

Pearl 2017..Getting Close Now for an update on the 1/72 B-18. The wings and the wing roots are now attached, puttied, cleaned up, and now painted. This kit has been a major chore all the way through. Next will be to get the markings on, some custom, and then finish out the small...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Ok second part. After several sessions I was not particularly thrilled with the look and went back and carefully sprayed some Testors Olive Drab from the square bottle to give it a bit of warmth. A couple of things I am pretty happy with. The...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Painting Folks finally back to give a bit of an update. First up is to let you know that this has actually progressed quite a bit. This will show you the first few stages of the painting. First was a Flat Black overall coat then into the color. Model...

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Thanks all for the clarification. I remember there was a vacuform kit of the Bolo in 1/48 years ago. That is the one that I tried to get. Saul that is a cool pic. Had not seen that one before. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Moving Along Many thanks. Still quite a bit to do on it. Joe

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Interesting. Many years ago I tried to purchase the Williams kit. Sent in the money to the vendor and later found out that after I sent it in they went out of business. Money was never returned and no kit. Live and learn. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Moving Along Moving right along with this build. First up is to show .... I did make it through the attachment of the stabilizers. Once sanded and prepped it was paint time. After an initial coat of Rustoleum Flat Black the lower fuselage and wings...

Pearl 2017..Oh My God!!!! Well folks everything was moving along smoothly. The interior went in with no fuss. Although way off it will work when all the "glass" is installed. The fuselage looked to be a pretty simple project to close up. And then the honeymoon came to an abrupt...

Pearl 2017..The Beginning Thank you for looking in. Joe

Pearl 2017..The Beginning One of the earliest things I learned in this hobby, with aircraft assemble then paint. With the cut aways I found that if I was careful I could get the different sections of the fuselage and wings painted prior to assembly to avoid all the masking. I got the fuse...

Pearl 2017..The Beginning Well here is a quick follow up to the intro. I would show you a couple of pictures of the sprue but to be honest I dislike those as they really show nothing. For myself I like to see some progress. As the title says it is the beginning. First up, I rarely do...

Pearl 2017..The Subject Many thanks for looking in. Joe

Wait.......another build.....another PUBLIC build......what madness is this then? Well I am finishing up an article for consideration to a magazine and the P-40B is currently in between video sessions. Now is also the time where I begin to look towards December 7 and what that means. This...
