How about the ol' B-10 on ASP? I thought only the Dutch had stones enough to poke those ol' girls through the sky! Swell picture!

38 of 40 55 gallon drums loaded on the narco boat. You can tell a Navy Chief Bos'n didn't load her. He would have gotten all 40 barrels aboard. God alone knows how many kilo packages are under the tarp. She's ready for sea, awaiting a bold crew.

With assembly and paint all done, box artwork is in the offing. 14 boats populate this set, before I double up the Caravelle 232 Interceptors and Larson 16-footers. I thought about a sunshade for the 25' Highfield RHI center console inboard tender, but enough is enough. :doh:

Are you going with the wooden 2-bladed fan or the constant speed 3-bladed affair? This kit is all the rage among Just For Fun modelers on X. The detail and fit is reputed to be amazing.

Here's a scale reference for the 1/350 U.S. Coast Guard Mk.II and Mk.IV Over The Horizon boats. Howzatt?! Construction and decals are finished on the 26-foot Mk. IV boat.

Indeed. Your countrymen on X have been lobbying Airfix for a new-tool in 1/48. They are most unsatisfied with the original issue. Your 1/48 Lightning looks like all your builds do. Precise, well constructed and finished with care and expertise.

My what a big Discovery you have! :good: We had coverage and basic structural repairs were complete by fall, 2024. Cosmetic repairs (Drywall finishing is lost on me.) continue. These had all been to shows and were awarded builds. No really good reason to make repairs, unless I wanted to fly...

Gents, this is 1/350 scale. These are BIG small boat models!:lol:

Bravo! It looks like your warm up is sucessful!

USCG Mk. 2 OTH boat. The Mk. 4 boat is the last one to finish.

The display shelves for my awarded builds were wrecked when the tornado hit our house in 2024. A great many of the models on those shelves came to grief when the roof fell in and we took water. Sorry mate. Naught to show.

There's a kid in our club from Mexico. He served in the USMC after earning his citizenship. Respect all the way around. Most of his models are built in Mexican AF markings. I have grown weary of such things, I suppose. I certainly get why your interest is piqued in this decal set...

Welcome and I wish you luck!

Airfix will certainly get the chaps at RAF Luton out of their seats with a new-tool 1/72 Canberra. This will undoubtedly bear "sequels" in the Canberra story with new parts and decals for more modern and USAF marks. The new 1/72 Tante Ju looks kinda cool. Their 1/72 B-25 is a fine little...

The Rhody Mirage is a purty thang! I find a lasting fondness for the 'Awker 'Unter! Onya!

The basic build of the J/45 look alike is done. Twin helms aft allow the boat to be conned, from either side when she is hard over in the wind. She's a little like the sailboat in TOPGUN Maverick. Only one more boat to work on for box artwork! Carving of the wake in the base for the drug...

1/350 USCG HWX-SPC boat. Kit 126

Thinning Vallejo acrylic paint with Windex serves me well. I do not often airbrush this brand.

SQUIRREL!!! https://www.history.uscg.mil/Browse-by-Topic/Assets/Water/All/Boats-Less-than-65-ft/Article/2244052/victory-1956/ New 1/350 scale project is underway. An esteemed US model genius is currently printing the basic 3D masters. It is thought a kit for such a vessel could be had in...

Done. Thanks ahead of time, Bob!
