Nick, suggest trying on Airlinercafe.com. There's a guy on there who specializes in old "faded" liveries...

http://cs.finescale.com/FSMCS/forums/t/142215.aspx?PageIndex=1 A modeler here is doing a step-by-step build.

Duke, that is the Hound. Nice build!

In Soviet Russia, missing parts find you!

DUKE! YOU ROCKED IT! CONGRATS!

That's perfect, at least I could use it to model additional ones. Because I have to make a figure of his buddy, too.

FIrst off, to brag, the Marine on the right of this picture is my nephew/Godson, Dan, finishing up his training at the School of Infantry. He is a great young man and makes me proud to be an American. Now, of course as a modeler, I am wanting to replicate this in 1/35 scale. One thing I have not found is the distinctive USMC 8-point cover. Does any other member know of a source for these? Thanks for any assistance!

Looks like the Neptune is gone too. And of course, let's get rid of the USS Edson so we could have a Concorde. Great decision. They also used to have a couple of dioramas in 1/700 scale of US and Japanese ships. I heard they trashed those. But hey, we have a Lego USS Intrepid! Idiots.

In "Easy Money", the doctor suggested Rodney Dangerfield take up a hobby. There's the scene where he's at the kitchen table assembling a ME-109. By the end of the scene, he's so worked up he tries to commit suicide with an X-Acto knife, damages the model, and when leaving the house with Joe Pesci he tells his wife, "Hey, Rose, there's a Messerschmitt in the kitchen. Clean it up, would ya?"

I am wondering what unit markings will be included. I will probably haveto cobble together some for a tank from my parent regiment (102D CAV) as I have seen photos of them transitioning in early 45.

I like it, Ron!!!

Thanks, guys! Hoping to get back into figures and he's the first...

Thanks, guys! Patrick, I am finishing up a Stryker (the M1126 from Trumpeter) and would like to submit it to Warwheels when done.

Thanks, Mark! Sometimes you just can't beat the simplicity of the "classic" Tamiya kits.

The old Tamiya kit, nothing fancy...

Warriors Russian Soldier Chechnya. Acrylics with a little oil work on the face. The wall is from Tiger Dio.

Beautiful, Dude! Very efficient use of muted tones for the black.

Nice vignette Chris! I am inspired to dig into a few figures that I put on the back burner... As an aside, one of my best friend's great-great grandfather was a North Carolinian that survived Pickett's Charge but was killed at Petersburg. Always moved by this era.

Gotta get a few...a couple in working condition, a few "non-working"...

Mark, I haven't found anything matching, but this page seems to have some related information. I would suspect that the aircraft was overall white with "ONU" (Organization des Nations Unites) on it. Congo was a former Belgian colony and French was the predominant language. My link Hope this helps!
