I don’t get all the excitement over the 1/32 Val & Kate You know we’ll never get the versions modelers REALLY want: the D3A2 and the B5N1 Honestly, don’t these niche producers listen at all to our frequently expressed desires???

In Sha’a Allah

And to realize that those two Little Probes That Could (and Did!) will still be going long after all of us & our progeny will have returned to our “Carbon Bases.”

YES!!!!! So many interesting roles/users/schemes for both types!

Huzzah to perseverance!!!!

I’ll bet you hear that Merlin purr when you walk by. . .

Spectacular paint job! The only improvement would be a “Whiffer” in RAE Raspberry Ripple

But 2021 is 11/12 done, so that catalog is HISS-TOE-RIE. And, even if the kit’s been discontinued, there are still many out there to be had, and not going for the original MSRP https://www.ebay.com/itm/324861875580?epid=1301794218&hash=item4ba346d57c:g:VvgAAOSwJl5hgT89

Superb! IIRC, he flew a similarly marked Spad VII.

Ron, PERFECT scale finishes (not too dull & not too glossy)! Finishing autos is the most difficult task in scale modeling, IMHO.

By the time this is sorted out, most of those interested and willing to pay for it will be too old to build it, and those young enough to build will not be interested or willing to shell out for it. . .

Meisterstueck!!

A work of three-dimensional art!

Quantity has a quality all its own. . .

Especially if one wants to do a series of, say, Thompson or Bendix Trophy air racers. . .

If it’s French, shouldn’t you use “sacre bleu” ??? (Sorry, couldn’t resist. . .)

That camo job is simply STUNNING! It looks as though it were applied by 1/35 spray guns!

I think Lt. Thieffry would be impressed!

Certainly is “Museum Quality” Great that it will be displayed to a wider audience!

Same here; gmail does a pretty good job of filtering the real junk.

Model Graphics by Woodland Scenics While Jennings is undoubtedly correct, MG offers 45 degree letters/numbers in several colors, which could be altered to fit your needs. What’s more they won’t lift your paint. . .

Have you considered commercial (letraset, etc) rub-on transfers? They can be “rubbed on” to clear decal material and applied as wet-slide decals. Moreover, they don’t require clear coating before or after application.

That’s the same Firefly photo (though colorized) on the cover of Render’s book. . .

T49 3-bar, with (in one photo) it appears duck bill end connectors. Is that possible?
