Great book by James Salter. God awful movie. For one of the best books written on military flying find a copy of Salter's Burning the Days. And a MIG-15, yes. I've built the trumpeter version of the MIG-15 and now I'd like to build a scale model of the plane.

 

Not read it- but the movie is not "awful", is it? Pretty simple story and some nice shots. What´s not to like? Real flying. Mitchum is good, the chick hot..

 

Lol, not Trumpy´s A-team then?

Tower, this is Ghost Rider requesting a flyby.

 

Cool stuff. I just need a flight stick to join in......

The F-86 and MiG-15 (specifically the MiG), would make my day.

 

MiG, I leave that for others.. Sabre, sure!

The Walrus was an excellent aircraft, saved countless downed airmen, one of Britain's finest.

 

And a beautiful aircraft..  I wonder how many pints those aircrews received as a thank you, Many I hope!

Think it was in Rober S Johnson´s book recently they were mentioned as picking up dudes. One getting damaged as it landed it a rough sea and having to fart in like a boat insetad of taking off again.

 

Didn´t Airfix release a new-ish decently recently? Not in "our" scale of course but..

Looking real good. I have no idea about the inaccuries of the kit but it looks like a Liberator to me!

Must be massive?

Hey why don’t they do a new Corsair as well? But seriously why? The Tamiya Mustang and Spit xi have some toyish extras, but apart from that as good as it gets, right?

 

I think so. But I guess Kotare doesn´t make money out of Tamiya kits..

That said, I rather see stuff that is not covered as well, personally.

The market demands it.   We've never had a satisfactory K model.   Thousands of modelers have been waiting for this upcoming release, it appears that the wait is nearly over.

I’m just telling it like it is. Poll after poll has a K model at the top of everyone’s list.   Followed by a new 109G-6 (the ZM kit is nice but modeling technology has come a long way since that kit was designed) and lastly, a new Spitfire IX.  

 

I was puzzled too - the P-51D/K boxing from Tamiya (seriously overpriced for basically just  a few more bitz though!) can make a K. Aeroproducts prop, another canopy from Dallas iirc. Can´t remember if the spinner is different though.

You can also make an F6D out of it.. People don´t know these things? And I´m sure there is decent AM stuff for the props as well..  There are decals around too..

 

Spit IX too? People don´t want the 32nd scale Tamiya or what?? I love those.. Can´t really complain about the price (except the difference between the first P-51D and the D/K box for very little).. You get good value for money and many, many hours of hobbying out of those..

 

What polls are these??

How about an accurate and modern tooled F-86F Sabre. Why such an iconic aircraft has not been tooled to modern day standards has me stumped.

 

Yeah, that family would be nice to see in a proper series.. I thought those would be very popular too..

Zoukei-Mura is working on the P-51B/C but Kotare could also jump in to produce one of course. The Beaufighter is on the agenda of Infinity models I believe, but again the more the merrier...A good list Michael!

They are?? I had no idea, nice!

[Kotare Models - a New Venture from Former Wingnut Wings Staff]

Can´t have too many Mustangs.. But I would prefer B/Cs and more Thunderbolts..

[Fw-190 A-8/ R-2 "Sturmbock" Revell 1:32]

Lovely work! Looking real nice.

Stay safe there you are too..

[Lt. Jim Wilkin’s CORSAIR - Dying on every hill, or ANOTHER go at DYI decals.]

Lovely, this is the kind of stuff I love. Some real background and a lovely build! I will follow this for sure.

Got more to share about your friends experiences?

 

Heard so much good about theese tamiya Corsairs.. I need to get atleast one some day.. In the meantime, I am happy with their P-51Ds.. ^^ And watching others do them of course!

[F-16 CJ 1/32 Tamiya. YEAY FINALLY FINISHED!!!!!]

Ouch, poor IP.. Glad you could easily get that replacement though!

 

Yeah, been very warm and sunny here lately. Had a couple of half built models on a table.. I wuickly moved them, even though direct sunlight is worse (ie no window). I think it is better to be safe than sorry!

[Babibi decals is venturing into 3d cockpit decals]

Glad to see others making this kind of stuff. Competition is always good. For us customers anyways.

One more contestant, the new release by WINGSY. Is this a missile or a bomb???? 

 

Yeah, I mean you can toss that bomb but that takes training and skill.. Weird choice here. Just those two flying with bombs on would have been my chocie..

 

Some fun stuff all around though!

[Is a WNW Albatros D.V/D.Va+decals for a Tamiya F-4J with some extra's fair trade?]

Sweet! Grab it as a gift for yourself for being awesome? I know I would!   Sounds like a decent price tag too? With that AM stuff, no..?

[F-16 CJ 1/32 Tamiya. YEAY FINALLY FINISHED!!!!!]

Looking real good! I hope it gets finished, it really deserves it!

[Kotare Models - a New Venture from Former Wingnut Wings Staff]

If i started a company like this, I would probably begin with something that will sell real well too! Like a Spit, P-51D or similar.. can´t imagine the market for a Kate or val is nearly as big - but what do I know.. however, down the road, when they have established themselves?

 

I would lvoe to see more P-47s in 1/32 however..

[1/32 Tamiya P-51D - The Millie G]

Just wonderful.. Been opening my own box lately, alot - need to start soon.. After my hasegawa P-47..

And this will be great inspiration and a little help, looking at your stuff.

Impressive work to get the scheme to work so nicely!

[New movie featuring F4U's and other COOL STUFF!]

Looks alright. Kinda fed up with too much woke trash but it does not seem too full of that. . Would have preferred something with WW2 ´bolts but I´ll watch this!

And i need to watch Top Gun: Mavericks oon..! Can you bring a chick to that one?

[Is a WNW Albatros D.V/D.Va+decals for a Tamiya F-4J with some extra's fair trade?]

No idea, but I do hope you get your F-4-stuff.. Gotta love Phantom IIs!

[Revell 1/32 P-51D-5NA Mustang]

Lovely work. I really like the painting and weathering. Love the Mustangs..

[Thunderbolt Mk II in Burma (Hasegawa 1:32) - FINISHED]

Wonderful Jug! Started my own yesterday (Brazilian one!) so this is a nice "reference".

Lovely job, I like this RAF ones too!

[Tamiya 1/32 P-51D/K "Mrs. Bonnie"]

That´s a wonderful-looking pony!   Great job!

[Barracuda Needs Your Help]

I e-mailed him last Autumn about the P-51D ones and they were then on their way back. Ask him about it, he may - or they may be on their way? Always good to show interest?

[Barracuda Needs Your Help]

Sad to hear, will try to support. Used some resin and the placards for the Tamiya P-51D and they were excellent! Hope Roy can keep in buisness, his stuff adds alot of nice details.
