    That almost looks real

     

    ...what inspired you to do a 53 Ford? she likes it.

     

    In a word, MONEY! :frantic:

    A friend of mine has "this car" and ask if I would build the kit.

    I wanted to build a car for years but I've been "stuck in the hangar".

    When this project came along, I said I'd do it.

    Thank you both for the kind words.

     

    Now, I'm back at the airfield with a Spitfire looming...

    Your Bulldog crossed the finish line!

     

    Cheers,

    Hey Man, I was hoping you'd see it.

    When you finished, it took the wind out of my sails.

    Then my bench light quit and you know how important proper lighting is.

     

    Looking forward to our next build.

    All the best, Quarter Scale Wiggy- the DOG catcher

    Man wiggy that bulldog is looking nice. Also, you've got a nice collection. I really like how you did the battle damage on the B-17. It look pretty real.

    Hey Man, thanks for the kind words.

    That B-17G project was a killer :closedeyes: , my BULLDOG was just a pain. :evil_laugh:

    I think Im sending my Next R-2800 to "Wiggy Incorporated" , he seems to be that masochistic sort that actually ENJOYS wiring miniture engines! :lol: <---meant in the best way, have you seen what that guy can do with a plastic engine?

    Paul :rolleyes:

     

    Hey Man, thanks for the kind words.

    Your R-2800 looks GREAT! :ninja:

    Very well done.

    1/32 Heinkel He 100D

    GREAT subject and some nice progress. ;)

    No other aircraft demonstrated the power of the German propaganda machine in WWII like the He 100.

    So many photographs of He 100's flying in group formation with different ficticious Squadron emblems, the Allies thought for sure Germany had been operating Heinkels in great numbers. Only 25 were built!

    Good luck with your project, Quarter Scale Wiggy

    Wiggy,

    Thats one of the planes I'm considering and thank-you for the suggestion and link.

    The thing is, I need the Bu No Info so I do the right version of the 1'As in question..

    ...happy as a clam in mud.

    Thanks for looking,

    all the best,

    Paul

    Hey Man, surfing and found this:

    >Chance Vought F4U-1A Corsair #883 "Bu.17883", VMF-214 flown by 1st. Lt. Bob McClurg - December, 1943.

    This aircraft was also flown by Maj. Greg Boyington.<

    A SIGNED copy of Ba Ba Blacksheep 1968 edition signed in 1983.

    Still not sure how Im going to paint it up yet...

    Paul

    :rolleyes:

     

    So nice when our better half accepts our affliction and caters to our needs. :speak_cool:

     

    Did you consider dressing-out your Corsair as Lt. Col. Robert McClurg's aircraft? :hmmm:

    McClurg flew #883 as Boyington's wing man. "Pappy" also flew #883 on several missions.

    Years ago I ask McClurg who "Martha" was- turns-out he named his Corsair after his Mother!

    DUDE...

     

    You have the patience of a cheesemaker.. the skills of a watchmaker and obviously the heart of a Modelmaker..

    Way to stick with it.. and yes, 3rd times the charm!

    Paul

    :speak_cool:

     

    And the mind of a mad man! :party0023:

    Thanks for the kind words.

     

    This was a very unique aircraft with a huge back story and well worth the effort.

    Hey Man, thanks for the kind words.

     

    Here a just a few of my favorite (look away: 1/48th scale ahead!) models.

    I have over 250 models in my collection- mostly "off the beaten path" aircraft.

    With help from my good friend Peter, I finally got my brain wrapped-around this damn propeller from 1932.

    Removed ALL the previous fiddle-de-bits and scratch-built new fiddle-de-bits.

    This is as close as I can get to the "correct" adjustable pitch contol.

    My propeller is as finished as it's going to get. :deadhorse:

    I managed to mask-off the R1340 crank case and spray some clear gloss for a little shine.

    I brushed the pushrods with some gloss top coat to better match those early photographs.

    Progress can be a beautiful thing. :frantic:
