  1. Damn that is really something. I always did like the Kate, If it'd come out 10 years earlier I'd have picked on up for sure. Too many as it is now.
  2. Never mind, figured it out. 123 pages of his posts. Gonna be fun rereading them. I was most interested in the SR-71 build.
  3. OK I must be stupid. All I pull up is his name in various topics. Where did you search? Under which forum?
  4. Thanks for pointing out this kit. I just picked up a Trumpeter kit, and while I think Joe Foss was indeed a hero, the paint scheme is BOOOOORING. (First heard of him in a book I got as a kid, called Wings of Fame). I just picked up the Valiant book on the Wildcat, and the Martlet appeals. Won't say I'm in on this build, too many things on the go, but I may get in later.
  5. Very nice job on the painting. Seeing this model brings back a memory. The very first plastic kit I ever built was a Ki-61. It was a Revell 72nd scale kit. That was way back in 1964... Crips I'm getting old.
  6. Nicely done. Leads me to wondering what happened to the Nationalist Air Force when the Communists won the civil war. Ended up on Taiwan? Scrapped by the Communists??
  7. Interesting project. In foreign service and what ifs are pretty neat when you have an idea and want to pursue it. I'm about half way finished a Trumpeter A-10, which will be in Luftwaffe markings. (World War II) I understand Rudel was given a chance to add some input into the design of the A-10, and with the Soviets lining up on the Fulda Gap, I never could understand why the Germans didn't also get some. Be a while yet before I can get back to it though.
  8. Huh, I thought I'd put in a note asking that this be moved to Work in Progress. Ran into a problem with some paints, and wasn't quite done, I've got the main markings on, Debating on if I am going to continue, as the checker board decals for the stabilisers and rudder literally disintegrated. I may strip most of them off as the model itself turned o out not bad, and try some other marking scheme.
  9. Progressing slowly, completely revamped the fuel tank, and radios. Originals seemed too small and too short. Extended the tank so it goes under the aft deck where the fuel fill is located. Working on the brake lines, opening up the exhaust stacks, lifted the rudder pedals off of the floor, and suspended them on the fire wall. Tried painting the instrument panel 3x, just can't do a decent job of it so I've ordered the Quinta set for the Tamiya Mustang. some sort of vent in the rad exhaust area, the guide bar for the vent panel and up in the left corner, the bowden cable that controls the vent opening/closing.
  10. Ambitious project. Of all the German bombers, the Do-17 has always been my favourite. I can never figure out why no one had done it in 32nd scale. I'll be watching this with interest.
  11. I bought two of these when they came out. Have one on the bench off and on, stock build but for the Quinta decals. (They are great, I bought 5 more sets for other models) I have the wings done, front and back fuselage with the engines (what a pig they were) and will be getting started the main assembly shortly. Going to paint it in a what if scheme.
  12. Gonna look super. You can never go wrong if you build a 109, no matter whose kit it is. And the E models look better (to me anyway).
