    I have been modeling 1/32 a/c since, well, I can't remember when (I started plastic modeling at age 5). Probably my first large scale plane was the Revell F-102, the one with all of the cool moving features. At present I am in the midst of a TF-104G conveersion, an X-15A2, and a Spit IX, Highflight conversion. Next in line will probably be the FW 190C-0v18 Kangaru conversion. <br />Otherwise, it's 1/35 modern armor, HO railroading, and 1/18 diecast Porsche protoype racers.<br />Oh. yeah, my real focus is my 12 year old. That's why so little gets done in modeling.

    Exactly my circumstance. A number of 1/32 projects stalled before completion. I’m just short of completing the 1/48th RF-101C. I’ve built it for display, not for competition. It’s helped to clear my brain. My next project will be 1/32nd, OOTB. No getting bogged down in extra detailing and minimal corrections. I hope I’ve regained momentum. Bill Winkes

    I don’t suppose building two Italeri F-104’s counts as a multi-engine build, does it? Bill Winkes

    Excellent job on this kit. I’ve just picked up the TF-104G, your build is a guide and inspiration. Thank you.

    Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I converted a Monogram 1/48th Hurricane to resemble an IK-3. Probably my first radical conversion. Used a couple of pounds of putty. I’ve always been fascinated by the aircraft of the small states of Europe, pre-WWII.

    Mighty purty. The Ford has always been a favorite of mine. Your rendering certainly does it justice. Best of luck at the contest! Bill

    A favorite scheme. The yellow version is on my future build list. Superb job, sir!

    A stunning job on a very basic kit. Thanks! Bill

    Beautiful job on a difficult camouflage. I have a sweet spot for Romanian Aircraft as my son is Romanian. Your 109 is superb. Wish I could model as well. Thanks Bill
  28. billwinkes
    Welcome, welcome. Your SU-25 is spectacular. I'm currently working on the Trumpeter SU-25ub, same camo. I hope mine approaches yours.
  29. billwinkes
    Thank you for posting your excellent build. It motivates mr to continue my own Su-25ub.

    The NF-104 is one of my favorite aircraft -- X15, junior. I'd be part of the market for the conversion.

    Oops.

    Good Lord ... I know the feeling! Bill Winkes
  32. billwinkes
    A likely source, but in 1/48th, will be Syhart.
  33. billwinkes
    I'd love to have the early Hunter bits and pieces. Lots of lovely schemes.
