1/32 Tamiya F4U-1a Corsair - Boyington's 17740
Daywalker replied to Thunnus's topic in Ready for Inspection
I don't know how I missed this one before, what an amazingly well done model. One of the finest representations of the Corsair I have ever seen. My hat is off to you sir! -
L/F colors on a Wisconsin ANG F-51D
Daywalker replied to Daywalker's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Thank you for that link Jan-Arie, I am going to reach out to the man who built those to see where he found the color info. Cheers! -
Thank you for sharing that article, many points within most definitely resonated with me.

Good idea, I hadn't thought about asking the EAA! I'll reach out to them and see if they can help. Cheers! -
L/F colors on a Wisconsin ANG F-51D
Daywalker replied to Daywalker's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
Thanks for chiming in Dave, I had seen a couple of photos of that one but hesitated as I wasn't sure if it was restored to an accurate paint scheme. Cheers! Frank -
Greetings all! I have been trying to research early aircraft from the Wisconsin ANG (specifically the F-51D) and cannot for the life of me find what I need on this topic. I have tried reaching out to the ANG itself, but they were unable to provide any helpful information. The aircraft I am most interested in are these, and I am looking for the colors on the spinners and rudders. This one below has slightly different markings (different letters I.E. "ANG" instead of "NG" and a different colored spinner. It looks like black and white, but could be something else? It also has the standard cuffed propeller instead of the "paddle" blade propeller usually seen on F-51D's. If I can't find anything on the ones above, I may just do this one and paint the spinner black and white. I found these images here, and would appreciate any help researching these aircraft! I have found other ANG units' colors from color photos, other scale decals, etc but Wisconsin is another beast all together. Thanks for looking in!

Thanks Pete, will do! It's the "dumb" part I'm afraid of!

I agree, I am currently working on my private (all flight requirements and exams are done - just need my checkride to finish) and have always hesitated calling myself a pilot until one day my instructor told me "If you can preflight, take off, and land in one piece - you're a pilot". Made sense to me. Hoping to get my checkride in the next few weeks, terrified to do it but I won't stop this close to my goal!

DO you know when the F-35 sets will be available again?

1/32 F-16C (Tamiya) - Venom - Viper Demo Team
Daywalker replied to Zola25's topic in Ready for Inspection
That Viper is GORGEOUS! I've seen the real deal and this looks spot on - well done! -
Amazing stuff! I love that scheme and am VERY impressed with the patchy, weather beaten metal effects of the exhaust area. BRAVO!

The ‘Viper’ pit - A short break to build other stuff.
Daywalker replied to Stokey Pete's topic in Works in Progress
Bravo Pete, you really have your hands full with this many Vipers at once! I did two at once, and that almost caused me to take up knitting. I'll be watching this thread, some excellent choices with the markings. -

Impressive work on that underside fairing, I have made a mental note to follow your lead when I build mine! -

Doh! Sorry, that's what I meant! -
THE SHARK HAS LANDED! Curtiss Tomahawk 112sqn RAF
Daywalker replied to quang's topic in Works in Progress
I really like what you have done here, like you said it may not be 100% but it sure looks right to me! Who's to say they didn't touch up the paint on the full size the day after the video/photos were taken to look exactly like you have portrayed it here. Loving this build, thank you for posting your work! -
Trumpeter & Hasegawa A-4E/F Landing Gear Sets Now Available
Daywalker replied to D.B. Andrus's topic in Vendors Board
Damn! Missed out on the Trumpeter A-4 sets. Any chance of another run? -
Wish he would reprint some of those decal sheets, there are a number of them I would love to purchase.
-
I will also be ordering a few sets of the Trumpeter gear when it's ready!

Excellent work, like the subtle worn effects on the flight deck. Hope to start mine soon, still going through and cleaning up the gazillion parts! -

Daywalker replied to Dana Bell's topic in Vendors Board
Book arrived today - amazingly quick! If I hadn't seen the USPS driver drop it off I would never have believed that they were the ones delivering it so quickly.
