Like plastic, metal, or RC. I just finished a A-20G model that turned out quite well.

I sure do, and so do some of the other guys.I make mostly plastic aeroplanes, and sometimes some BBurago metal cars. Any chance we could see some pics of the A-20?
I'm almost ready to start painting a Mi-24 Hind in 1/48th scale.
While there the modelling subject is up, has anybody made (or got) the Pro-modeller 1/48th scale Curtis Helldiver?
I just sent away to Monogram/revell for some replacement decals cause my copy of the decals had yellowed and started to crack 
Did anyone else have the same trouble ?

I build plastic models too, but I've also built some R/C planes for friens, and just finished a Kyosho R/C car.The plastci model I'm working on is (still) an 1/48 Hercules from Italeri, I've been having a hell of a ball building it, since the fit is laughably bad, but it's starting to work out now. It'll be ready for (a lot of - it's huge) paint as soon as I get the canopy to fit properly. Talking about the canopy, when I bought the kit there was this huge scratch down two or three of the cockpit windows, so I had to cut them out of the framing and make some new ones. But I suppose I can finish it in about two weeks or so. Then there are the nine other kits I have  . IP: Logged |

Finished a Testors P47D in gabreski DDay camo recently, turned out ok but the fit wasn't great. Next up a Hasegawa 109G6 that I'm thinking because of the way the model was put together should be a breeze to mod into a very accurate 109G2 Trop. I want to do the Black Six scheme. If you go to www.luftwaffe.net there is a link off the front page to a photo album of Siggi's projects. I have one of his 109Es, its a work of art. Werner ------------------

That wouldn't be the Tamiya 1/48 Beau Mk.VI, would it??? I built that one, in a desert scheme. I'm very pleased with that scheme, and the way I weathered it.IP: Logged |
