  1. Thank you very much, Mark. I've had these kits for years. It's about time I get started!
  2. Thank you Joseph! My father spent a lot pf time flying at Corpus Christi.
  3. Neil, thank you for the invitation! I think I can be there Friday!
  4. Thanks Clare! Yes, the two houses are my own design and built from scratch. The tan colored house is based on a real house in Beverly Hills known as the Witch's House.
  5. Thank you Dennis and Gil. I'm hoping to learn a lot.
  6. Hi, I'm a new guy. I posted some photos on introduction page but it says I don't have permission to view them. Another member said he could see them. So I'm posting here to see if it works. My father flew in the Navy Reserves at Port Columbus until it closed in the late fifties. He took the attached (attached if this works!) photo from the cockpit of his Hellcat. He may have flown the #3 Hellcat that is depicted on the IPMS decal sheet. I would LOVE to acquire one of these decal sheets. If any member would consider selling their sheet to me I would forever grateful. Or, is there a way to make a high res scan that I could print myself? I have more photos of Columbus planes if anyone is interested, I could try to post them. I have a few of Hellcats, Corsairs, Banshees, FH1 Phantom, Panther, Cougar, and Fury.
  7. Thanks, Jon. I just did a little research and learned I'm supposed to use an image hosting service. I uploaded those pics from my computer. I wonder why you can see them and I cant? And why can you even see them? And why did it let me do that? And..... darn newbies!
  8. I guess I did something wrong, I don't have permission to view the pics I posted.
  9. I haven't built any plastic models for over 35 years. I design real coin-operated pinball machines and I've started building custom dollhouses (or miniature houses.) I have kits of all the fighters that my father flew when based at Columbus, Ohio in the 1950s. Been going to build them for years. It's finally dawned on me that I'm not getting any younger, so I'd better get started! I was inspired to join the forum when I surfed across an article by an IPMS member who built a Hellcat based in Columbus. Dave Koukol, IPMS# 46287 I'd love to find someone who might have the decal set that he used. I believe my father flew that actual plane. (#3) I've attached a color photo that my father took from the cockpit, also one of the actual #3 plane. Also attached a couple photos of my custom dollhouses. Looking forward to starting these kits and to meeting any modelers in the Lake Villa, IL area.
