These are so cool, and look like so much fun!!!

If new tool: P-51B/C If re-tool: F4U-4

I didn't even know this existed!

Oh HELL yeah!! Even a notoriously cheap guy like me would scratch up the cash for that!!! However, I think if Hasegawa did it first, they'd sell even more, because it would be cheaper, and probably pretty darn nice! Not Tamiya nice, but nice!

P-51B/C, P-51B/C, P-51B/C, P-51B/C, P-51B/C, P-51B/C, P-51B/C,,,,,if I say it enough times, maybe it will come true!!

I sure hope he comes back so we can see how this turned out. I've done some preliminary tinkering with my engine with a mind to displaying it with either closed or open cowls, but it's looking like it might be above my skill set so far. The engine is actually a tad too big for the cowl panels (even after thinning them) and some of the parts don't align with the intakes, so it could be a no-go for me. I will let it sit for a while and ponder it some more while I work on some other projects.

Where did you see it in Seattle, and how much was it going for?

Hmmm, I really want one of these.

I wonder why not in 1/18 scale? That would be MUCH better!!

Very cool!

That's cuz you're a furriner. We muricans always pronounce our furrin words correctly.

I really like the LG door hinges, they look awesome! I want to make some for my Trumpy 1/32, and you have inspired me!

Man, that is sweet!!!

I am still particularly impressed by the cowlings, they are quite nice!!

I order from BNA all the time on ebay! Great place, and surprisingly fast/cheap shipping for being so far away from me.

Paul Budzik suggests using bare metal foil to mask canopies, because it conforms to the shapes easily, and shows detail through it. I confess I have not tried it yet, but here is his video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHJmxKKxsew Tim

This is so awesome!!

Ooooo...I want to do one of these!! Nicely done!!

Paging the OP!! JCFay, aka John, to the forums, please!! Does anyone know what happened to the author of this very old thread? It started out very interesting, and I'd love to see how it turned out!! Tim

Man, I love this!!

I don't build armor anymore, but I always love seeing what you do with it! I've learned a lot from the tips and builds on your website.

Man, I am not a jet guy, but as the F-4 is probably my favorite blow-torch ever, I will follow this!!

Wow, is that resin as rough as it looks?

Exactly what I use.
