Looks great! Gotta love the bent-wing birds. Glenn

Hi all, Finished this one right before New Year's for a Christmas gift for a friend. It's the AM 1/48 Tuskegee version of the kit, found on clearance for $15 at the local Hobby Lobby! I was going to do the Tuskegee scheme, since the gift was for someone from Alabama, but I couldn't really get into it. So I went for a Checkertail Clan aircraft, and found a sideview drawing of Major Roy Hogg's (six kills) a/c. I don't believe the nickname is in the right font, but everything else seems to look ok. I couldn't get decals for the tail in time, so I painted them on. I am not a big fan of the Mustang (I believe the Corsair is better ), but it is a good looking a/c and I really enjoy the AM kits! This is the second of their Mustangs that I've built (their F-6B is the other one). Thanks Glenn

Please give him my thanks as well. I also have that kit in the closet and his build saved me a lot of headscratching! It is a really well done build. Glenn

Glad I panic bought last year Glenn

Really nice! I built the Tamiya kit a few years ago and was very happy with how it went together. It seems the Finemolds kit is the favorite with others I've talked with. How do they compare in your experience? Glenn

Gil, Was that the P-38 the Confederate Air Force had in the '70's? I seem to remember it in a red/white/blue scheme. Glenn

I've been using the Future/Tamiya combo. I haven't been able to come up with the ratio, just trial and error on an old piece of plastic. Cool thing is that it's acrylic and works great with the hair dryer. Glenn

Which particular Sabre are you building? There's a lot of great schemes... Glenn
-
Well done. I really like your builds of the older kits...a little TLC goes a long way. Thanks for sharing Glenn

Nuttin like flat black to make a project swell! Looks great, Duke! I've gotta build one someday... Glenn
-
You painted the markings? All I can say is Glenn (I'd have added more, but the forum won't let me!)

Mike, BBD is a great aircraft. If you use the kit decals, they have the words "Big Beautiful Doll" in black on the sheet and then again in white. The white letters are supposed to be red, and that goes on first, then put the black letters over it, with a underneath/to the left red shadow (what you see on the box art). Also, be prepared to use a lot of decal solvent to get the checkerboards down! The decals are accurate otherwise. I just glued the nose panel on and decaled over it. Good luck and I can't wait to see it! Glenn

Staying away from flat black? That's the only color I can spray in any kind of weather: summer heat/humidity, rain, snow (like today for the 5th time in two weeks!), hail, sleet, subzero temps, zero gravity.....all those other colors scare me ;) Glenn

Great job on the checkerboards! Glenn
-
Wow, been there, done that (except it was the washing machine in the hallway of the trailer). Thanks for sharing! Glenn

A model collection of 4000 saved from Hurricane
Glynyrd replied to Dick Montgomery's topic in General Modeling
I think his collection was the one mentioned in an electric co-op magazine last year here in Mississippi. Would love to take the six hours and visit in person... Glenn -
Well done, Bill! What color did you use for the exhaust, that last picture kind of drew my eyes to that section, it looks realistic. Thanks Glenn
-
Nice job, Mike. I saw the post about the cowling, looked back at the pictures, couldn't see the issue , then read further down where you fixed the pics...(I thought I was going to have to get my eyes checked ). Thanks for sharing, Glenn
-
Great build, Arkut. How did you get the wing walk area to look that way? Glenn
-
Thanks, Mark, but it is actually Gil's post. Glenn

I have a lot of Mark Martin stock cars, but that's a different subject. In the collection, I have 4 P-51's and 4 F-4 Phantoms (six F4U Corsairs if you count the 4 1/350 scale ones that I posed in formation). Of the three, I'm not particularly fond of Mustangs, but the wife seems to like them as I've been given two of them as gifts over the last couple of years. One of them was "Big, Beautiful Doll", an absolutely "beautiful" scheme, and the other was an Accurate Miniatures kit; I built it as soon as I got it, to experience building an AM kit (enjoyable build). Glenn

Nice build. I really like it. As for the performance of the real a/c, I wonder if you could shoehorn a P&W 2800 from the Corsair into it.... Glenn
