  1. I got my big D model down off the shelf the other night to look at it again.

    I ordered the resin turbochargers for it off ebay. I was going to build it as a 

    "Carpetbagger" B-24 but found a guy on ebay that makes decals for the 

    "Lady be Good" in 32nd scale. I had read the new book about her brief 

    history and the aircraft being found and the crew being recovered (minus1)

    The book is "No Way Out" by Steven Whitby

    Had to give your big "D" another look Tom!

     

    Cheers...Ron

  2. Wow that's awesome! The winds of war are starting to blow...the AVG flying the 

    shark mouth P-40 in China and shortly after scrambling a couple P-40's during the attack

    on Pearl Harbor. Great job...love that metal finish. I'm with ya...I have a lot of respect for 

    guys that can pull it off. 

     

    Cheers...Ron

  3. Stripped down Israeli F-16's! Back to the origional "lightweight figter" the 

    Air Force advertised it as back in the 70's. Lot of Israeli F-16 history flying

    in Arizona. Saw that one with a MIG kill. Pete...maybe you can get a ride in the 

    backseat of their B model for an hour being a "Viper alumni"

     

    Cheers...Ron

  4. That's awesome! The paint....rigging with insulators...looks like oil film

    on the torpedo and I really like the guy at "parade rest" watching the torpedo

    loading. Great job! I have a lot of respect for the submarine service. I went 

    aboard the USS Bowfin at Pearl Harbor and can't imagine those guys being 

    cramped in the submarine for days on end. 

     

    Cheers...Ron
