Amazing Figure Modeler HAS NOT stopped making their magazine. They are going digital for several reasons. First is their loss of distribution like newstands and stores which are not open in many parts of the country. Second, is cost. Will have a new issue out soon Dave

Jef V posted a great history/explanation under his Facebook page. Was very intetresting. Dave

Love it Dave

And thanks

Its a little longer than 18 inches and not quite as wide but would be without the wing folds. It is very large Dave

Finally, after many years, this is finished. I can say that there were not wo pieces in the entire build that fit together easily. And Trumpeter found ways to take one part and make four out of it. I will say it is a huge plane and I do love Navy schemes. Finished with Squadrons decals Dave

Welcome...have a look around and enjoy! Dave

Web site now says closed for renovation. Hopefully they do reopen and gain their past glory back. The lady from the Franklin Mint had no clue at all what modelers want Dave

Thanks. Tree of Woe made me laugh Dave

Vinyl kits. Don't like the fish Dave

The sarcophagus was a lot of fun Dave

1/4 scale bust of Thulsa Doom by Kent Kidwell Dave

LOL...try building resin figures. Used to be under $100 for a 1/6 scale figure. Now they have increased sizes all the way up to 1/4 or 1/3 scale and prices up to $800 each. And Kaiju kits (Godzilla) can go well over $1000- which I do not own but....never say never. In the end, its up to the individual. I know for me, if Tamiya ever came out with a 1/32 scale A-10, cost be damned, I am getting it dave

Most impressive. I still remember pumping gas into Mavericks as a kid. Great project and superb execution Dave

It would be nice. Hasegawa's P-47 bubble top is very good too. I have read Tamiya will not do 1/32 anymore probably due to tooling costs Hope its wrong Dave

Working in medical devices, please don't count too much on a vaccine. Between a less than 100% efficacy and a fairly large percentage who will not take it plus the fact virus mutate, I personally do not hold out hope on the vaccine side. Sounds good but I suspect that this won't be the cure all some are hoping for world wide. Dave

There are some great jigs that can hold the plane upside down but to start, I used some styrofoam/foam rubber packing and support off both wings and the tail. Of course all things like antennae's and the like need to be left off the top. I have also used paint bottles in a pinch for smaller planes Dave

The circled part shows things needing removed probably due to the version of the plane. You can sand them smooth. as for decals, I usually put them on when done as I screw around with seams forever it seems so I would wreck them if putting them on early Dave

No impact. Work for a medical device company. Got furloughed with pay for three weeks after working 24/7 for three weeks. Were selling at 90% normal, got raises and bonuses and feeling very blessed Just bought a couple figure kits that were grails and cost ~$400 and went on vacation so, like I said, very blessed. Wife still working to albeit from home Dave

Totally impressed. Mach 2 and Fonderie Miniatures were some "interesting" kits. Really well done- not sure I would want to sit in that cockpit though 🙂 Dave

Hi Kevin: Interesting kit. Love the backdrop too Dave

Very cool. Planes are huge dave

A very nice gentlemen from my conversations and a great tribute Gil. Great looking kits Dave

Love it. Been holding mine almost finished until Caracal releases their sheets. Lot of different options like sea blue etc. plus a training colored one. I love yours so I can't wait to get the decals Dave
