  1. Thanks guys. A fun build and a pleasure listening to all the comments..currently working on a Avia in Israeli scheme...RLM 02.. Not nearly as cool as their jets. Cheers Bill
  2. Thanks for the compliments. Cheers Bill
  3. Thanks...and they Fly great aircraft. Although I am currently working on an Avia that,from everything I read,was a dog. Cheers Bill
  4. Gil I have used their decals,EZ-line,polishing powders.Each one was great.
  5. Greetings Best thing I can do is provide website.these are buffing metallic pigments. Painted the exhaust flat black,then buffed with steel powders. http://www.uschivdr.com/whats-new/ Cheers Bill
  6. Just finished as Part of my Israeli Collection Isradecals, Avionex Interior,Testors Acrylic paints,Usci Rubbing Powders on Metal parts Darkened front half of Canopy,but not much Loved the Uschi powders Overall Views Comments Welcome Bill
  7. Thanks Mark There is something about "yellow " wings Cheers Bill
  8. Thanks Gil. It is the Williams Brothers kit. New release with gret decals. Lots of flas and a bit of a challenge. Thanks Again Bill
  9. OD and Yellow stands out. Tamiya Rattle can Yellow(was Great), Gunze Olive Drab Decals came with Kit and need some white disks to keep out the yellow. Other than that the decals where very good. The wing walks didn't match up with the fuselage sections and needed some black touch-up...no big thing Looks OLD!! White Nacelles added a Bit to the overall project Cheers Bill
  10. Greetings in process of completing a build article on this plane but thought I would share a few pictures. 1/48th Nichimo Ki-45 with lots of work done to a pretty nice old kit. Thanks for Looking Bill
  11. Gil This model was Very well engineered, Great Fit, Beautiful Surface Detail and well worth the money. The construction was a piece of cake. I created my own issues on the finish. Still, Looks OK, Could have been better based on the kit. Cheers Bill
  12. This is a very nice kit that the more I touched the more I !@@#$%^&& up. Still the Photos came out OK. I have to say ..Barry comments about this scheme being "best" are B) B) 1960s B/W Photo Alclad Exhaust General Photos Thanks For Looking Bill

    Thanks Gil You are correct. Czechmodels kit. Beautiful Resin Interior but lots of fit issues with the majority of the build. The vacu-form canopy was really clear but I am still deciding about cutting it open. I hate messing with a finished project. Cheers Bill

    Greetings just haven't see many of these built so I said what the heck lets invest a little time. No theme just a bit of fun and something different. Challenging build, simple paint scheme Gunze paints Comments are Always welcome Bill
  18. Thanks Guys..I am happy with her and tried some new techniques. 2-part epoxy for wing lights,Stretched sprue for the engine panel hinge,
  19. Completed Tonight even though it is a Hockey night for Pittsburgh Photo from Book ...Hope we can Post Figured aircraft in Africa would be dusty so most weathering is pastel sand dust Thanks For Looking
  20. Greetings Finally off the road and got some painting done. These are Gunze colors ,but Instead of Future clear I went with the Testors rattle can Gloss Lacquer Clear. "Wet Look" is what it is titled and I sprayed right from can. I have had issues in the past with Future and Gunze and I wanted to find an option. I am very happy with this clear coating. Broke up the RLM 79 with a few drops of white She sure is shinny. Now I have to keep my hands off for a day and let her dry/cure Thanks for Looking Bill
