Happy modeling Guy. You've come to the right place! Mark

Welcome aboard Mike. We're glad to have you here! Happy Modeling, Mark

Nice job Dick! Keep up the good work! Mark

Very nice Dick. Keep up the good work! Mark

Thank you very much Duke. This old Monogram kit (40 years old!) took a lot of work but I enjoyed building it. Mark

Many thanks Bill! You guys are legend! Mark

Many thanks Gil. Your work is superb! Mark

Hey guys, I finally finished my Shooting Star after more than a year and 385 hours later. Here it is: e This is old Monogram 1/48" scale kit I had lying around for over 40 years and I decided to do something with it. I sanded off all the raised panel lines and rescribed with a No. 11 X-Acto blade for starters. Decals are the old Micro Scale and markings represent the 94th "Hat in the Ring" squadron based at Elmendorf Army Air Force Base in 1947, hence the Artic red used for ID purposes. Cheers, Mark

Way to Go, Gil! Mark

I thought it originally was an Oscar. It seemed to bear the silhouette. Cheers, Mark

Great job! But isn't this a Nakajima Ki-43 Oscar? Mark

Hello Gil. This is the old 1/48" Monogram kit I had hanging around in my closet for over 40 years. I sanded the raised panel lines and other details completely off, then used Tamiya Black lacquer primer. The NMF is Alclad II Hi -Shine, and masked off here and there to add Testor's Model Master Aluminum where indicated. Best, Mark

Well guys I'm getting closer to finishing this F-80B. So far, this is what I have: Cheers, Mark

Welcome aboard, Jim! Unfortunately, as the Duke says, we see fewer and fewer pure hobby shops. Online hobby shops seem to be the current wave. We hope to see your work sometime. Happy modeling, Mark

Very nice David! Keep up the good work! I will be joining you soon, with a 1/48" scale Monogram F-80B from the 94th "Hat In The Ring" squadron markings. I'm around three weeks from completion. Mark
