Love it! I've got the resin .50 cal for the turret on the way.

While I was at our local museum last weekend talking to one of our members, he gave me a started AMT 48 scale Beech 17 Staggerwing that he couldn't sell in the gift shop. Not a bad little kit for its age, the cowling was obviously incorrect and missing the lower section but otherwise it was a sound little kit.
I took it home, cleaned up the interior and re-painted it as best I could and finished assembling it. I should have a few decals in the spares box to fix it up.

Beautiful vacation pics; makes me wish I were there.
Gator, glad to see you working on models again. Way to go my friend!

Nice of you to rescue the Staggerwing, Warren. Dark red with black trim? It's really an airplane that looks best modeled in flight, I think.

Actually John I was thinking I might do this in a US navy scheme

The Kitty Hawk kit is pretty recent and should be fairly available. The Matchbox/Revell & Fujimi kits are going to be hit or miss. Ebay would probably be the best place for those...or keep an eye open at shows for one.

Finally got a chance to put the new airbrush through it's trial run. I think it's time to retire my Iwatas. I grabbed a Tammy V1, Extra Thin Quick, built and sprayed.
I basecoated with the .4mm needle/nozzle, then swapped out for the .15 for the mottling. Sprayed like a dream.
Vallejo, very thin @ 8PSI.
I jumped on a 4th of July sale, been looking at these Harder and Steenbecks for a while, I'm glad I did. It's very well engineered, but what interested me was the cleaning. The nozzle, aircap is a unit they call an airhead and it comes off easily for cleaning. This allows you to pull the needle through the front, so you don't drag paint back into the brush. It also allows them to be swapped easily, so a needle change takes seconds.
the .15mm allowed me to get the finest lines I ever have with an airbrush.

Nice looking brush Jeff! The mottle pattern on the V1 is quite nice!
