Recently I found myself digging through my pile of shame while doing a IPMS review, it is located in the darkest regions at the bottom of my stash closet. I keep my modeling failures in the hopes that someday I will have another go at them. Most arrive there either from a lack of interest, disaster or frustration. This one has been in there for at least 10 years (found a dated ticket for alclad with it) I had it 99% completed leaving just a few fiddly bits and the canopy to be masked painted and attached. I forgotten what it was that condemned her to the pile so I pulled out the box-tray to have another look, well it turned out that I had broken one of the segmented canopies, leaving only the one piece option. Anyway so that was it I guess. So then I finished her up in just a couple hours and I'm pleased that I finally completed it.

I have the CA TA-4J half finished sitting in a box... it kick my butt and I gave up, even so I did not go after the Hasegawa offering. This has been a true confession of a compulsive limited run plastic modeler.

automotive paints.

do you have any reference photos you can share?

wow that is cool!

Mark, for what its worth I built that kit a few times and personally I like it better than the old Monogram standby and ten times better than the newer Trumpeter kit. Hobby Craft has always been the redheaded step child and really never gets a fair break. Don't be put off by the negative vibes I won a few awards with redheaded Hobby Craft step kids err...kits. P.S. more pictures please.

The tractor also came in the one of the R/M F-86D releases.

Awesome, you really captured the spirit beautifully.

Great model will be missed but not by me, I had problems with almost all my orders.

It on the review boards- the photos seem to have suffered size reduction... but anyway its there.

AWESOME!!

cleaning up the computer files today and found this video I shot awhile back on a test flight. enjoy. http://picturestable.shutterfly.com/85

Keep an eye on the review section should come up soon I turned it in yesterday. I'm not finished weathering it but its fine as is for review photos.... Eduard 1/48

fixed it. :gold-plane:

Ok ok I know it's not PC to use anything but water based acrylic paint these days and I really tried to convert and haven't fallen off the wagon for a couple years but... I'm still hooked on the hard stuff... That,s right Lacquers and Enamels baby!! Anyway I wanted to do this one vintage old school for old times sake and there I was just sailing along in a fog dull-coat when OPPS... Awww-Shoot! Yep super thin dull-coat splashed on the wing... well I'm gonna try to fix it.. I got to it's a review... any tips?

I really wanted to go... I'm glad you all had a good turn out.

Wow that is sweet. Nice work for such an old kit and the cockpit is very cool.

I custom made this 1/32 resin model for the current owner of 'The Little Witch' (my first Mustang restoration project BTW) I masked and painted stripes, checkers and spinner, Mike Grant did the custom artwork and decals. The Little Witch is a TF-51 and is fully dual controlled.

what scale is that? Awesome BTW.

very cool!

Very nice and well done, I like it.

That is really cool!

Wow a lot of interesting suggestions. I will post updates and look forward to any new thoughts. Thanks
