James, Thanks. That resin kit was just what I was looking for.

a 48th, 72nd or 144th scale model of a Cessna 402?

Ok, I've found one company that makes french fuel drums in 35th scale. http://www.retrokit.net/retrotracks35_106.html They look like U.S. drums, but that is all I know at this point.

Mark, I know that even in 72nd scale there is a big difference between U.S. and German drums. The german drums were smaller and held less that 55 gals. They looked different. I'm trying to figure out if the French and British barrels in 1940 were significantly different in shape and size from the U.S. ones. So far, I just haven't found anything definitive.

Ok guys. In 72nd scale I have German and US fuel drums. I am wondering if anyone knows whether the Brits and the French in 1940 used the U.S. drums or did they have their own with their own particular shape and size. Just curious. Bouns points if someone knows who makes them in 72 scale .

Very nice.

Ying, Where in China are you from?

Beautiful. How did you achieve the worn metal areas?

Can't wait for mine and my new membership card.

Looking good.

I got to see one of these recently on my trip to China. They are impressive. The one below is an Air France bird going from JFK to Paris.

Thanks Kevin. I'll do that.

Shenzhen Airlines for a 737-800. Photo here.

That 88 is nice looking.

I will be there!!!

A laptop and a wireless network can be a wonderful thing. I can listen to Nats games on MLB.COM while modeling. Oh, and you can cehck out reference photos too. :D

This is an object lesson to all clubs. Read your contracts carefully and if you have an attorney in the club, have him or her take a quick look.

James, If I wasn't going to be on the other side of the earth that weekend, I'd be there.

Still testing. Interesting results so far.

That looks like a very well engineered Vac kit.

I am half way thru the test. When I'm done, I'll solicit the opinions of local club members regarding the "flatness" of each test strip.

Gil, Can't wait to see this one done.

HOw were the Rising Decals to use? I have several sets that I plan on using, someday.

All airbrushed. THe only thing I ever use out of the can is Mr. Surfacer 1200.

You are a glutton for punishment.
