GORGEOUS Phantom!!!!! I, too, have always liked Luftwaffe Phantoms...you've certainly represented them well! JK

Always a fan of your work, JB....but, this is one of the best I've seen!!!!

And, it makes a scrumptious hat!!! Actually, the lead foil from the neck of a good wine bottle makes great seat harnesses. I've used it for flags, too!

Great work as usual...especially the cockpit!

Wow...you guys have work spaces nicer than my living room!! Here's where I hide the bodies....

When I read the header, I thought Tamiya was releasing an A-4!! Free scooter kits? That's sweet! One more reason I wish I'd just gone to Columbus.

The 40-year-old virgin lives...!

Yep. That kid sure can build! Polite, too. :)

Very nicely executed. My favorite Hellcat markings, too!

It's true. An amazing amount of heat displaced by the rapid curing reaction. I've burned my hands, and nearly started a workbench fire with a paper-towel/superglue spill. Damn, did that smoke! It;s a wonder I get the things done that I do....

Inspirational as always, Jack....:)

Love the 9 Staffel icon!

Thank you David.

They're painted with Tamiya Clear paints, Gil. *WOOF*

Glen, the jury struts are kit parts.

This was my "Tamiya Break" after finishing the Eduard Emil. I chipped away at it for 2 months, as I don't seem to have the time, anymore. Regardless, the model depicts an aircraft of the U.S. Marine Corp's VMF-213 "Hell Hawks", circa 1943. It's OOB, save for the antennae (stretched sprue) and the tensioner (fine solder). It was airbrushed with Vallejo Model Air acrylics. Why are the wings folded on an island??? Because. I said so.

Always a pleasure to see The Master in action.

I did not know that.....!

It's all pre-colored PE, Gil. I was sure that IPMS had reviewed this kit, as it's release was pretty major back in February. I don't see it in the Review's list, though. Must've been somewhere else. Swore it was here, though....

Ive bought several different pair from "The Tool Man" at several National Conventions. His website is here, although it no longer operates his business...just shows his trade show schedule. He has a lot of Dental-grade stuff that I like.

That's an awesome link! Hard-To-Find Hobby Supplies, like this one!

Digital Camo...

The fit is very good, Bun E. Boy....;) All of the hoopla was over the shape of the E-4 canopy. I won't rehash any of it here. As far as I know, the fit of that version is OK, too, but the shape is inherently incorrect. Eduard has listened to the masses, though, and is producing a corrected canopy for the E-4 which will be available this Fall. No word on pricing.

This is the Eduard 1/32 Bf-109E-1, built straight OOB. I completed this 2 months ago. It's also the last model I've completed... "Yellow 2", 6./JG 52, Husum, Germany, 1940. Finished with Gunze acrylics & lacquers, Model Master Acryl, and Vallejo acrylics. Light weathering with an acrylic wash in the panel lines.
