Terrific work, Gil! One question: how did you make the bottle cap? 🙂

I'm calling the interior work "done"..... These 2 pics focus on the front 2 cockpits from both sides. The Instrument panels are glued in place, but the seats and the control wheels are not. These 2 pics give a view of the rear cockpit with the radio, its sending key on the side, the swivel seat, and the Lewis drum storage racks. What really can't be seen are the 6 3D printed Lewis drums in the racks. Like up front, the rear seat is not glued in yet. These 2 pics show how it all fits relative to the cockpit openings and the side windows. For the "record"....none of this is "accurate", but most of it is what I term as "period authentic"; meaning it's typical of most all of the important items that would be found and/or seen in biplane cockpits from the late '20s and early '30s. There isn't a single Martin T4M torpedo plane left in the world to serve as a reference, only a couple of poor pics of its cockpits and IPs, and most other pics are from longer distances where details are hard to discern. The drawings available do help, but even they have limited "views" and are of no help for the interior. So I'm settling for some generic cockpits that at least look somewhat "busy" for anyone who wants to peek inside! Now on to that pesky octagonal nose section that still needs to be added! Gil

Here is the update on the ongoing B-1A HYBRID ..Youl'le notice there is only one image available you can view more of the update picture of the projects on the Google link ! (FEB 25th ) .. Today , I completed the basic detail of the front section , gave it a coat of white and gett prepared to work on the back side of the front bomb bay ! If you like to help out on this projet I need these ... : from the REVELL 1/48 B-1 LANCER stenciling for the WHITE prototype aircraft, this was on the decal sheet of the first edition of the B-1 kit.. I'm also seeking the NOSE WINGLETS + LEFT TAIL STABILIZER .. used parts are welcome as long they are useable ! A big thank you for helping out , without your help I won't be able to do a good job on the project !... ..If you like to view more WIP of this project and 2 other 1/48 B-1 bombers ,This is 'PHASE 2' by the way follow this Google link https://goo.gl/photos/QkeSiGZuvcRfG7yV7 Enjoy and it's an 'rendez-vous' next week for more on this particular project..!.

Nice job Ron!! Cool camo scheme!!

Thanks Mark!

This is the 1973 release of Airfix's Ju-87 Stuka done in a winter camo scheme. It's OOTB with the exception of the prop disc. I also worked on the stand to make it look like frozen terrain from the air. Very basic kit, of course, but went together well with care. Decals were no good so those are after market ones.

PackagingInside the handsome packaging is delivered the Gaahleri Mobius-TG Premium Series Airbrush complete with a 0.5mm needle and both fan cap and round cap as well as a large capacity 2-3 oz gravity fluid cup. The reverse of the package gives a complete teardown of the brush showing the full disassembly procedure and parts naming. The packaging also provides some basic details about the airbrush and it’s intended use, i.e. it is intended for Medium to Extra wide spray pattern, and is part of Gaahleri’s Premium series (other series include Classic, Advanced, Ace and Supreme).

From the publisher’s website: Nearly forty years have passed since the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant - the most severe nuclear accident in history and one of the gravest man-made disasters ever recorded. Countless books, documentaries, and films have examined the catastrophe and its aftermath. Yet, despite this abundance of material, a crucial aspect of the story has remained largely overlooked in English-language accounts: the immense contribution of Soviet aviation to the response effort.

Bottom line up front: The title states this is a reference for the Curtiss P-40B/C, but actually, it is a reference for the P-40E with a few photos and color plates for the P-40B/C. The accompanying decals are for a P-40B/C. The soft-cover booklet is 1-1/2” x 11-3/4” with 24 pages. There are ten black & white aircraft photos, twelve detail photos, six color profiles, a four-view color profile for the aircraft covered in the decals, and twenty-two line drawings of P-40Es and Kittyhawk IAs. The price on the Kagero website is Euro 12.95. The decals cover a single P-40B/C in both 1/72 and 1/48th scale. They are in good register, the colors are solid and crisp, and the carrier film is thin. View the full review

The IPMS/USA recently began receiving items for review from Gaahleri. The company is relatively new and first introduced airbrushes and has since expanded into the production of their own line of paints. Kaleido ColorWorks is their premium sub-brand of water-based paints, which are developed with RapidAir Technology. In addition to all the individual colors, Gaahleri also has sets of paints available for consumers. View the full review

TTTTTTTTThank youuuuu !

Excellent tutorial on using simple materials that are layered to build up something to authenticity! Gil
