Thanks Guys for the compliments Bill :gold-plane:

Greetings The "Thud" is now complete with the addition of the FOD Covers Vacuform from Koster and Aluminum Rod Cheers Bill

Thanks Gil I really enjoyed this model. It was fun digging back in the memory banks to 1974 in Kansas. Cheers Bill

Greetings I was thinking of going to Omaha with this when completed ,but after completion I realized I would have to purchase another seat. This is a Large Aircraft. I tried Photos outside with different Backdrops. This is a model of an F-105F from when I was stationed at McConnell AFB in 1973. Simple backdate of the Monogram F-105G. I added Metal Landing Gear and Master Pitot both good additions I used Uschi Powders on the Dive Brake Exhaust Petals Paints were a collection of "What I Had" Gunze Dark Green, Testors Acrylic Lighter Green, Vallejo Brown and Humbrol Gray This is a great classic model kit I still have a few items to add,(F.O.D. covers) Thanks for Viewing Bill

Thanks

Greetings Mark I have volunteered in the past and I will volunteer again. I would like to do the Space& Sci-Fi category if that is OK with you. Let me know Bill

Sorry Nick I have two bottles of powder that I am hoping will last my Lifetime. I had some of the Paint but it separated and I never was able to get it back..trashed it Cheers Bill

For the Columbus Convention I posted a room I had free Up. I posted on Hyperscale and IPMS and got somebody who needed a room. Just changed the name on the reservation. If you cancel with hotel it is open season on the room and nobody knows it is available. Bill

Greetings I have used Alclad "a Lot" . I have had Tape lift metal finish and look like tape residue left behind. I have used SNJ buffing powder to "Repair" the finish. The best method of masking was to put a coat of Alclad Clear Coat then Mask. I use Yellow Frog Painters Tape..which is like a low tack Tamiya tape. My Two cents Bill

Looks good Gil Tamiya,ha Cheers bill

Gil That is one very nice F-14. Enjoy the challenges of the Monogram kit( 30 Years Old??) Cheers Bill

Mark This particular Harrier aparanty participated in Middle East conflict. Might also fit in your Middle East war SIG. Cheers Bill

Thanks Gil That demarcation did add a little interest to the standard Navy WW II schemes. Cheers Bill

Greetings All These are the beginning models of my 1/48th scale VMA 211 project. Started with the Harrier and got hooked on the squadron. Then built the Wildcat and will now look to the future with a Corsair,Skyhawk and lastly a F-35B. Hasagawa Harrier with Two Bobs markings for "Wake Island Avengers". Difficult kit with a ton of seams to fill. Gunze Paints Decals were great and used a lot of Eduard Photo-Etch on this kit Wildcat was Hobby Boss Painted with Gunze and used Yellow Wing decals for "Wake Island Wildcats" Only weathered with a few panel washes and Pastel dusts as aircraft was painted in November on way to Wake Island Used Ez Line and Karaya metal 50cal barrels as aftermarket add-ons and added a Photo-etched seat and Engine wiring Thanks for Looking Comments Always Welcome :D :D Bill

Greetings Line construction 1. Drilled holes at wing locating and fuselage and Tail 2. Crazy Glued line to tail (allowed to dry..2minutes) 3. Crazy Glued line to fuselage (allowed to dry. overnight) 4. Crazy Glued line ends to wings (allowed to dry..overnight) 5. Touch of Glue on fusalage/tail Line. 6. Stretched wing line to slightly tighten and allowed wing line to touch glue on center line. Waited about 10 seconds for glue to grab. 7. Lines are tight all over. Cheers Bill

Thanks Gil

Simple out of Box Build and a few snapshots, Uschi EZ line for antenna (hard to see) Techmod Kit decals good except for wing national markings ,would not settle and had to be replaced. Testors Sand for main color a little heavy on exhaust stains ...my mistake Thanks for looking Cheers Bill

Thanks guys Wasn't the Mig 28 a single seater? Thanks for the positive feedback. Bill

Thanks Dave

Greetings Thanks for the positive feedback. In general the kit is an easy build. The parts fit well and have enough detail for interest. The surface detail is nice but not " wow". The use of the Eduard interior color photo-etch,was nice but not mandatory. The Eduard seatbelt systems were much better than the kit simple photo-etch.The lack of wing lights was disappointing. The paint was decanted Tamiya gloss black. Final sealing coating with Gunze clear Gloss.

Hello All This was a very smooth build. Not a ton of parts and fit was very good. Mostly out of box except wing lights and the Eduard Interior Photo-Etched details Gloss Black was Tamiya Decanted Kit decals were fantastic, and simple Thanks for looking Bill

Thanks Guys for the Positive feedback Love the IAF stuff Cheers Bill :D :D

Just thought I would work the single color Theme a little. 1/48 Hasagawa Mk IXe Eduard Steel Belts, EZ Line Rest from the Box Fundekals Tamiya rattle can black, decanted. Final coat Gunze Clear Gloss Just a Simple Clean Build Cheers Bill
