  1. Awesomeness! The "D" is my favorite B-24. I think on mine when I build it I will put a threaded rod in the nose tire and then a washer and nut under the base to hold it down. That's a great looking Liberator you have going there! Cheers...Ron
  2. One of my favorite airplanes! Loved watching the 105 light the burner and go! Great job so far. Cheers...Ron
  3. That's awesome! It's borderline on making me think I need an eye exam though! Cheers...Ron
  4. That's an awesome well weathered Lancaster! I'd like to see the nose up close as well. Cheers...Ron
  5. Very cool! A Texas limo! LOL! Add a badge on the tailgate..."Texas Edition" Cheers...Ron
  6. That is a great job on the new carb intake. People have said the cowl opening isn't big enough either . Has anybody done a way to sand it bigger diameter? I really like the big B-25. I have an Air Apache Strafer to build. Cheers...Ron
  7. Awesome Phantom! You gave the Tamiya kit a lot of love to get it to look that good. When I was stationed at Kadena I'd get lunch and go to Naha airport and watch the F-4EJ's taxi and go fly. Nothin like the sound of J-79's in burner going down the runway. Cheers...Ron
  8. F-4J (UK) is very cool. It looks the part of Phantoms off the runway still with the drag chute and canopies up. Was the drag chute hard to get the suspension lines from the canopy to the clevis on the main line from the fuselage? My ultimate F-4 diorama is 4 F-4E in the arm/de-arm area at Korat AB, Thailand getting the pins pulled and ready to head to the tanker before going "North". Great job...Anything Phantom is always cool! Cheers...Ron
  9. Nice 88mm flak gun. It looks the part for extreme desert wear. I built the old Tamiya 88mm being towed behind the 8 ton tractor in gray oversprayed with Afrika Corps tan and roughed it up as well. Put it on a desert base with some figures too. Your groundwork looks the part of that "hard as concrete" desert ground. Great job! Cheers...Ron
  10. AFSOC is leaning on Lockheed to build a amphibious MC-130J. The pictures I've seen of it with giant pontoons I'm sure the drag index is just as big. Cool idea but probably will never get across the finish line. Cheers...Ron
  11. Add some 1/32 empty brass shell cases to the floor and it would really look real! Great job so far! I have the "D" model to build. Haven't figured the setting yet but it will be the "Lady Be Good" prior to the fateful mission. Cheers...Ron
  12. The Tony is probably my favorite Japanese fighter from WWII. So many schemes to choose from. You did an awesome job on yours! Cheers...Ron
  13. You've knocked another one out of the park! Awesome job on the MIG!! Cheers...Ron
  14. Bro that's awesome! The NM finish looks really good to me. The Ki-61 is probably my favorite Japanese fighter too! How did you do the base with the flag and the overlay of "The Empire of Japan" Cheers...Ron
  15. I like the "A" model F-16...it kinda stayed with the light weigh fighter that it was built to be. The Guard always took old hand me down jets from active duty and made them into really nice jets and maintained with pride. Michigan will never top the paint they put on their F-4's but you did an awesome job on your Michigan Falcon. Cheers...Ron
  16. That's an awesome Tomcat! The high speed sand blast effect is super cool as well. Great job....lots of attention to detail. Cheers....Ron
  17. That's truly awesome work! Guess I'll build my strafer J in a "black box" setting and just say it an Air Apache in the dark in the South Pacific...... Happy New Year! Ron
  18. That is a very nice T-28. One of my favorite airplanes. I said if I ever won the lottery I was going to buy a real one and have one of the instructor pilots in the squadron teach me how to fly it. I have that kit in my build pile too. Great job! Happy New Year! Ron
  19. I love Japanese aircraft from WWII and that is absolutely awesome! I really need to buy one to build myself. Great job! Happy New Year! Ron
  20. 1/32nd F-106....I'd buy probably 2 of em! Happy new year to all! Ron
  21. Me too! When the F6F-3 conversion is ready I will get one! Merry Christmas and happy 2023! Ron
  22. That's an awesome Skyraider! Can you imagine being mid 20's right out of pilot training and flying a Skyraider out of Thailand for a year! Listening to that big engine and flying with the canopy back....so awesome! Cheers...Ron
  23. Gorgeous Doolittle Raider! Taking the fight back to the Japanese! That was a great idea to get the box art autographed! Cheers....Ron
  24. Those are awesome builds! Like others I love your water effects too! Merry Christmas and happy 2023! Cheers....Ron
