Greetings This is the 1/350 Trumpeter Kit Thanks for Reference support on this site from Don Schmitz Completed with a few corrections to Kit that I thought were needed This is the 1944 version(Somewhat) with a beautiful "dazzle" scheme using Vallejo paints across the board Changed the dual 20mm guns to single gun using 3D model parts and they were great. I also added Photo-etch to the Aircraft to Improve...wow what a challenge in 1/350 Master Barrels and they where also real Nice Thanks for Looking Comments welcome Thanks for Help Don and Dave Sepos Bill D

Thanks Don Super Helpful information..Yes I am aware of the masking ,but why take the easy path?? Cheers Bill

Greetings I have a discrepancy between the Instructions (Below) and information from "Warship Pictorial # 10" . The Instructions call for a deck painted in one color ,(I assume is Deck Blue) The Pictorial mentions two deck colors ,Ocean Grey and Deck Blue. Does anybody have any pattern for the deck colors??? Thank You in advance Bill

Its a Start...Thanks :Smile_sceptic:

Thanks Guys Off to a ship Project ....1/350 USS Indianapolis...If anybody has any hints I'll take them Cheers Bill

This was a very good model for washing your brain.. Well engineered, Great Decals Small and few parts Just to cleanse the modeling palate. Custom Paint mix to match Photos(Tried) Uschi Burnishing powders for exhaust feathers The great decals made this a Fun project. Looks bigger than it really is Comments welcome Cheers Bill :D :D

Thank you all for the Compliments Cheers Bill

Greetings Mark I am looking to join up with Your Middle east SIG. I do IAF aircraft and would like to contribute to your Group. Give me some Guidance Please Bill PS Recent Completion

Thanks Guys Actually I took the tanks from an F-86 kit..They did not provide any. Cheers Bill

Greetings A Bit of a modeling challenge here.This is the Hi-Tech Kit I found visiting a Hobby Shop in Grand Junction. You should always be a little wary about kits in the back with a lot of dust and a description that say High Tech but what the heck ,lets challenge the Model skills ! The IsraDecal decals were the best part of this project, I did double them over the fusalage red and that worked Great. Also I had great luck with the Wing formation lights and some blending skills. Alclad and lots of sanding and Priming Please let me know if you are not familiar with the term "3 Footer" My interest in the subject was much higher than my skills in this aircraft The wing tanks and pylons were not included and came from the spares Box. So much for High Tech :-) Something to View Cheers Bill :D :D

Thank you all very much for the compliments. Cheers Bill

The Dragon 262 had numerous construction challenges, from the wing roots to the gun/ nose sections even the landing gear presented problems with construction. The BF 109 is the first edition they released. Not easy to see the discrepancies,need a reference model. This was a very nice model to build and the issues are not of my concern. Thanks for the compliments Bill

Hello Below are photos of Airfix BF 109F,Dragon Me 262 and last the Eduard BF 109G-6. These are aircraft flow by Franz Stigle and referenced in the book " A Higher Call" I found this a great read and super stimulus for these aircraft models. Africa scheme for first project The 2 on his aircraft was unusual as referenced in a photo of his aircraft. This a controversial scheme ( some say it was Galland's Aircraft) but I have a signed poster with his signature and showing White 3 from JV 44 Dragon kit was a bit of a challenge Just finished with Kitsworld decals This was a fun build Gunze Paints for this aircraft Comments are always welcome Cheers Bill

Very nice work..I will keep my eye out for the AK. Cheers Bill

Thanks Ken Challenging as its not my area of expertise :-) Cheers Bill

Thanks guys Rigging was a couple of components. 1. Braces were carbon wire 2. Control cables were EZ-Line fine Cheers Bill

Greetings Final Aircraft in my Kosciusko Squadron. This Camel was brought to Poland by Lt.Kenneth M.Murray who was in Poland to join the American volunteers forming the Kosciusko Squadron. Front Rigging View Gunze Paints Rigging was the biggest issue.The Eduard model itself was great Cheers Bill

Thanks guys for the compliments. The engine was not detailed as you really can't see more than about 5%. The kit engine is not bad from the box. Cheers
