An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Construction MEK is my main glue at the moment. Like the way it works. Sorry Saul, not this time. For this one it will be the other markings in the box. Training unit out of California. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Construction Really appreciate you looking in. Many thanks for the kindness. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Construction Well folks here I am after a long delay. First of all let me say this. All photos have now been lost at photobucket. I am not going to redo them at all. I am using Imgur to post my updates. On to the build. With the work on the cockpit...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Cockpit Painting Many thanks my friend. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Cockpit Painting Guys thanks for looking in. Saul this time no. A simple OD/Grey scheme so I can play more with the weathering. Joe

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Cockpit Painting Well my friends here I am to finally get started on the Hawk. First up is the cockpit. That means clean up of the resin, really not bad at all, and getting some color. After cleanup I began with a base coat of Flat Black Rustoleum, this is...

An Old Friend...1/48 Revell P-40B Thank you all for looking in. Joe

I have been lost in many things as of late. Not much time really to post, even to really go online for more than a few minutes every now and then. It is time to go back to basics. Time to bring out an old friend. It seems that everytime I want to try something new I turn to this kit. i...

Many many thanks. Joe

Many many thanks. Tank I am glad I can be of help. Hardest part of this whole chipping thing to me is working with the right paints. About 70% of what I have is enamel and that stuff does not work well for the method. I am changing that up a bit though. Joe

Very cool. I have not tried to light up anything to this point. Joe

Many many thanks all. Saul you must have an ability to see the future. I have actually been asked to build more armor. Most of it however will not be publicly viewed, at least until they are published. Finishing up one now that should go off to the editor in the next week or so. More...

Many thanks all. You are very kind. Joe

Well she is finished. At least I am going to call her finished. I did not add the antenna as my logic told me there were some things that would have been removed prior to installation as a gate guard. I am happy with the way this looks as in the last 37 years I have done only a dozen or so...

Academy Patton...Oils Many many thanks. Joe

Academy Patton...Oils Well folks here we go again. Warning, the pictures for the most part do not show the actual colors portrayed. The pictures show a much "warmer" tone or yellowish tint. Now for the not so regular update. Using oils the process of weathering begins. Several different...

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Been thinking a lot about that MP. Joe

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Many thanks for looking in. MP unfortunately here the "gate guard" is a small piece of field artillery. And it is relatively new. I do remember one from when I was a kid and I remember it having a touch of chipping. I definitely do not want to go...

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Many thanks. With some information provided from another site I went back and cleaned up the hull and turret as they apparently did not chip as I have it portrayed. This build to be honest has really shown my inexperience with armor builds. Joe

Academy Patton...Paint and Chipping Moving right along on this it is time for painting. Up to this point not much was for sure on this build. I knew I wanted to build it so I could tackle the cammo. As I feel that is one of the major weaknesses I have in this hobby I wanted to challenge...
