Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Finished An update. The cockpit is finished off. From the kit we have the floor, rear bulkhead, inner frame (where the seat rests), the control stick, and the instrument panel and frame. The seat is a resin cast of the seat out of the Hasegawa P-40E. All...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Part Three Another really quick update. The cockpit comes closer to being finished. Some detail painting as well as a pretty heavy handed wash with Acrylics. Other than the seat and headrest it is done. I am a bit put off by the seat though and will...

1/24 MPC/Airfix JU 87B The Beginning Many many thanks. I do have a plan for the decals. They appear pretty bad right now. I am hoping to be able to scan and then do my own. Joe

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Cockpit Part One Just a brief update. Attention is now turned to the cockpit fully.  With most of the parts fabricated I can throw a bit of paint on and then some detail painting. Actually pretty happy with this but I do see some areas that will need a touch up...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Three Work continues. Two updates in three days, wow. Watching YouTube was good for me and I was able to make some decent progress. The radio is 99% finished. All that is left is the wiring after it is installed into the fuselage. I was able to...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Two Many many thanks. Joe

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part Two More done on the SCR 274 and a bit to the plumbing on the interior of the fuselage. Some paint is a good thing right? Going blind with the white work. Using the Testor small bottles I got some color on the different receiver and transmitter...

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part One Really appreciate you looking in. Joe

Trumpeter F4F-3 Early 1/32...Interior Part One A quickie update to show what little work I have done. Work was isolated to fabrication of the radio equipment for this aircraft. The SCR-274 N. Composed of several components here is the still very rough initial look. Should be pretty cool...
