Just stunning !

Just catching up with this tonight... whew.. had me seriously worried there.. glad the news is good and looking forward to many more years and awesome builds.. & hopefully some vids of you drumming !! Build on !!

Found a few more in the stash.. sealed Aurora kits. Ahh.. 98 cent kits.. those were the days.. And Merit… the glue is dried up but the decals are perfect.. Fokker DR 1

Got 2.. oldest being the U boat 1961 (I was 2 years old) and the PT boat, 1974 I think

Thanks much guys !! Vaughn

Hey all, just picked up the Tamyia 1/32 birdcage Corsair. Any idea's/ thoughts on upgrades for it ? Cheers Vaughn

Give largescaleplanes.com a shot.. think you'll be happy there. Vaughn

Not too late to fix !! Thanks for the great help !!

Wow.. many thanks !! You guys are the greatest !! I'm doing the 1/24 Trumpy G10 and scratch building most of the missing detail. Here are a couple of pics..

Thank you all so much for the replies and the comprehensive info ! Many thanks and Happy New Year !! Vaughn

Yes, unfortunately that's how it was in the movie... the good thing is that from anything over 12 inches away you can't see the detail anyway :-)

Aye, that is the one pain of the kit. If I were to do it again I'd rig a remote switch.. taking off and putting back on the structure is nuts. I gave the clear parts away tp a chap in my local model group.

Hey All Happy New Year. My question is, what color would the wiring for the cowl guns on the 109 G10 have been ? I've been looking everywhere and no joy. Cheers Vaughn

This is just bloody beautiful !!

Just back from seeing Midway.. not bad at all. I think for the general public who are not aviation nuts it is a perfect blend of story, action and history. I personally enjoyed the depiction of the Japanese side of things. Yes the flight scenes were way too unrealistic... but still they got the general point across. I predict a few more SBD's will be on the contest tables in the coming year ! :-)
