Thanks, Zero, that's what I did!

Thanks, Don! I decided to just order the A4 size, as it contains twice the amount of coverage for less than twice the price (a better value), and I will be assured of not running out. Tim

Anyone?

What is the best size sheet of 1/32 HGW wood decals to use on a WWI kit fuselage? A4 or A5? Tim

Wow...just wow! Really outstanding! Looking forward to the whole diorama.

Very interesting method! I wish I had known the ammonia method when I was building the 1/16 DVII last winter. I got hot water to do the trick just fine, but I did have some splitting. Tim

Darn good point, Darren. I wonder if the real ones did vary in shape? Certainly wouldn't be the first time.

To my eye, both of them are too pointy compared to the real one, though the Roden one is closer. The printed one looks exactly like the Roden spinner in shape to me. I certainly wouldn't buy it to replace the Roden spinner, but maybe the WNW one. The opening for the prop is way too small on all three. The real one takes up a greater proportion of the spinner's height. Very interesting post and great pics!

Beautiful, just beautiful! I love those F-4s!

Like I said, a new tool would probably be the straw that kicks me into 1/24. The only thing better would be an entirely new offering of a P-38. I'd drop the cash for that without hesitation.

Wouldn't it be incredible if Airfix re-tooled this kit? I would make the move to 1/24 for sure.....

Love it Jerry!!

I must admit that even though I have never owned a WNW kit, I would buy a DVII if they put it out again.

That's more models than I've finished in 10 years. Good job!!

You're dead right, but it's just a pipe dream! They'd sell at least 1 of them.....

Maybe more info here? http://www.pacificwrecks.com/aircraft/b-17/41-2446.html I also noticed a link at the bottom of the page where you can order the DVD of the salvage documentary.

I can dream, right? If they released anything from WW2 with the same quality as there WWI offerings, it would blow the competition out of the water.

I am trying to find some 1/32 tires for my P-38 that more closely represent the ones on the actual aircraft I'm building. The two mains appear to be a sort of herringbone pattern, while the nose wheel seems to be diamond tread (I will attach pics when I am able). I am aware of the block tread tires with solid wheels from GMF, and the smooth ribbed ones from Aires, and there was an old diamond set from Jerry, now OOP, and one from Contact Resine, also OOP. If anyone can point me to some other options, or has any of those listed above that they would let go of, please let me know. Tim Pic of the tire: upload image online free

A P-38. Can you imagine how awesome that would be?

You are definitely a nutcase, cupcake!! But we love you anyway.

That is much more reasonable. I'd grab one for 55 bucks, myself. One, not ten, you nutcase!😆

I quit golf. I quit playing golf and skiiing for exactly those reasons. When the cost outweighs the fun you are having, time to move on.

At an average price of 100 USD, that's 1200 bucks for those alone!! You could buy most of my stash for that.

Absolutely awesome!!! I love it! Tim
