    Boeing F4B/P-12 family. Start with the F4B-1/2 and P-12 through P-12D.
     
    The F4B-1 and 2 are different beasts. I am working on a Ginter book and have a good idea of configurations.

    ltdann got a reaction from Lenny320 in Kitty Hawk SH-60B   
    All,
     
    Received my courtesy copy of the 1:35 SH-60B Seahawk the other day. My overall impressions are very positive, The detail is stunning, the options are many and the fit is excellent. That said, I have founds some discrepancies in the instructions, particularly on which holes to open in the fuselage for this particular kit. Additionally, I have not located the ALQ-144 IRCM mount for the lower fuselage. Granted that this was not installed on the earliest SH-60Bs, but it was installed in later production blocks.
     
    If anyone can help me figure out how to add photos, I'd be glad to share my observations.

    So this is supposed to be the number 1 F6F-5.  I obtained this photo from the Grumman archives. The other photo is a 800 Sqn F6F-5 with the blown hood.

    Please don't put drop tanks on this beautiful rendition of the F4F-3. They did not have provisions for them. They typically had two 110 lb bomb racks much further out on the wing

    There are a couple of things he could do and still stay in the WWI theme.  Mate up some Liberty engines with the Felixstowe and you can do an H-16. No American subjects have been kitted either.  A good JN-4 would be something.  A Thomas Morse S-4C would also be most welcome. How about a Macchi M.5?

    While not strictly an "aircraft",  I thought this might be interesting for folks to see in this forum -
     
    Progress on my first model project in a decade.  [/size]
    This is a scratch built 1/32 LM. The basic structure is plastic card, but the detail parts are 3D printed from Shapeways. Admittedly expensive, this is probably the best way to a large scale LM until a mainstream manufacturer does one. [/size]

    Vincent Meens has parts on Shapeways to do 1/8, 1/10, 1/16, 1/24 and 1/32 LMs. (Big money the bigger the scale). You can also do a early LM (G/H missions).....or a J mission LM with the LRV. The LRV can be made in any of about 6 configurations from fully stowed to fully deployed.  [/size]

    Foil is from Michaels (gold & orange), Bare Metal Foil (gold and silver, kitchen foil sprayed black, and red wine bottles. [/size]

    The one thing I noted with printed parts is that nothing really sticks to the plastic. I suggest you prime any parts, even if you foil them later. [/size]

    Vincent is now working to complete the ascent stage.[/size]
