ltdann got a reaction from Stefano in Lukgraph suggestions for 2023
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.

I'd love to see the Grumman F3F series. I have lots of drawings including the loft lines.

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.

ltdann got a reaction from Maw1963 in 1/24 Airfix F6F-5 Hellcat
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.

ltdann got a reaction from coogrfan in Trumpeter F4F-3 build with rivets FINISHED!
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

ltdann got a reaction from Pup7309 in WNW is nowhere near the end of its run...!
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?

ltdann got a reaction from Vandy 1 VX 4 in MH 60 Academy SeaHawk. 1/35 scale.
I like the rotor brake handle. That is the locked position. Brings back memories!

ltdann got a reaction from Tnarg in 1/32 Grumman Lunar Module
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]
