F-117A Nighthawk (channelling my inner scratch builder)

Just found a site called UMM-USA.com that has what you're looking for. HTH. -
F-117A Nighthawk (channelling my inner scratch builder)
DaveJ replied to Uilleann's topic in Works in Progress
You can get single guitar strings down to .008 but they're rather stiff so I'm not sure if that would work for you. -
Wow! Fantastic build and the finish is amazing. A lesson in weathering for certain, especially when you applied a weathered look to the decals. Too often I see heavily weathered models with perfect markings which puts a dent in the realism. Limited run kits aren't easy as argue but you made this build look like it was a shake-n-bake Tamiya. Well done!

Hobbycraft Sea Fury Hawker Company demonstrator G-AKRY

I purchased ( I think ) all of the Fisher upgrades for the Hobbycraft kit. I'm convinced that using all of them will bring the HC kit much closer to the real aircraft and if nothing else closer to the Fisher kit. Reading this post tells me that neither is as close as what you've done! Can't wait to see more!! -
Wow!! Brilliant work throughout.

Let us not forget the massive 'nipple's on the drop tank, amongst other major areas of issue. Unless you're dead-set on making a 1/24 P-40, I'm telling you, don't even bother! It's that wrong. The only reason to build one in 1/24 scale is that none exist. Beyond that (and a lot of scratch-building) none exist.
-
Hi Martin, Unless you're desperate to build a 1/24 P-40, this is not a kit that you want. The number of things that are wrong far outweigh the correct ones. As a starting point for a serious re-build it may be OK, but beyond that.....

I was just thinking about Russ tonight. Seeing this makes me a bit melancholy, but only because he was taking on such a project in 1/32 scale. That and I just still really miss that guy... Great work on your large/small (or is it small/large) kits!!

Spacewolf took the following list of parts: Revell 1/32 BF-110 (rear fuselage, propeller) Typhoon (wings), Corsair (vertical stab), Hurricane (cockpit parts, instruments, tail wheel and strut, as well as most of the decals. Revell 1/72 Corsair (horizontal stabs) 21st Century Zero MG's AMT B-49 flying wing (main wheels) Dragon figure detail set (MG cocking mechanisms) Eduard Zero instruments Several other instrument sets and 'bits' from the parts box. Added a whole lot of scratch-building, combined that with lots of talent, shook it all together and got this Miles M-20! In progress Here!

After PhilB completed his awesome F-5 build he decided to tackle something easy. He wanted to re-create this picture of a downed 109G-6 from Malta: Not only did he, but he smacked it out of the park!! In progress here!

After waaaaaayyyyyyy too long, I'm finally trying to get all the GB stuff caught up. Butler paid tribute to Russ in a very special way: He did a what-if scheme on his 21st Century Veltro, and he did it in two days..... Looks awesome, too! In progress here!

It runs all year. Heck, I might even get something done in that time...

Greetings everyone! It is our pleasure to welcome Ron to the LSP staff! Most of you know Ron and his fantastic (if annoyingly fast) builds as well as his occasional rant about the weather in Cowtown. Ron will be assisting with us as a Moderator once he's learned which buttons to push and all that good stuff. We are thrilled to have someone of his caliber join the team! Dave

Are there issues with the Wolfpack conversion? I thought that was pretty good and its still available.
