  1. Beautiful work on that canopy, wow it makes a huge difference! I will benefit from your advice. Have just the cockpit started on mine so will get crack’n on the clear part before anything else.
  2. I’m a fan of the blur! Those colors are super interesting under the aircraft. I think because of the contrast it creates. Nice!
  3. Beautiful work so far 😃 glad to see it off the SoD!
  4. You'll enjoy the hell out of that one!
  5. Interesting Sabrejet. here’s the real thing for another comparison it might be the length of the front canopy by KH is too short and rear is too long as molded? In the picture above, the rear canopy looks shorter than the way Kitty Hawk has it arranged.
  6. I used the KH canopies on my T-38 and they look the part…here’s a few angles for comparison. I may have a set of these if you need them Thierry.
  7. Great comparison of 35 to 32. Glad you posted that. I did not think there would be that drastic of a difference, but it is very noticeable.
  8. How do you like the Revell paint?
  9. Great stuff! Love the story!!
  10. I do have the later model after they made those adjustments. The only major issue I had was the wing roots, and that was just on the K model, The D was OK. The rest is just super oversized rivets. The dang rivets are so tall that they poked through the decals. 🤣
  11. That’s going to look great on the shelf!! Just enough weathering to bring out the lines and shape 😁
  12. 😂 now I keep thinking about it! Maybe it’s the size of her head, a bit too round or just a bit oversized I might say 🤔
  13. Honestly, it looks pretty close compared to the pictures I have. I came to the conclusion that the dragon nose was more rounded than it should be over the top of the fuselage and it made her head look like it rolled backwards. I initially wondered if she was too tall. Her elbows, knees and toes look like they’re in the right location tho based on the period photos I have.
  14. These are both Dragon Mustangs in 1/32. Boy were they a bear. They make a presentable Mustang but if you wanted perfection it would be another week or two to straighten these out. As it was I had to fill a nearly an 1/8” seem on the wings of the K model. That was a pain because it was in NMF and that shows everything! I just made these a fun build. The decals are from The Fine Art of Decals, Pyn Up series. AWESOME DECALS! They were the whole basis for the build as I’ve started a collection of “Redheads”. I did the Blonde just because it came with the set 😉 Worked on a base in between paint colors and waiting on things to dry. Finished up the build today, and in keeping with the dual element of this build i present them both to you!
  15. RA-V for me! edit…and I can cut my own masks. I usually do a hi-res scan of decals and then cut from that.
  16. Great stuff here! Bookmarked for later when I get back to mine
  17. superb! and thanks for sharing the difference between Revell and Trumpy. Man what a difference. Turned out really nice my man!
  18. I’m ready!
  19. Good thing I put it on with pva glue! I swear I looked at that twice…and I still somehow turned it around thx for catching that
  20. Seems weird that there’s so much missing information related to the Harrier Can’t wait to see if you do a what if or a recreation!
  21. What a meticulous effort you’re putting into this one. Paying off in spades, it’s beautiful! Love how well that door hinge lines up.
  22. Great to see this build pop up again! Looking smart what a chore with weak instructions and weak joints
  23. Thanks guys, appreciate it! You know I’ve tried to find more info on the paint scheme but it seems pictures and info are so rare for WestPac in the 90’s. I found just enough to make it possible as I just love these different schemes
  24. Beautiful paint!
  25. That is sooo cool I’ve not seen this AC before. Beautiful job on the metal panel tones!
