ghodges Posted January 6, 2013 Report Posted January 6, 2013 One of my absolute favorites; next to Nifty Fifties! Very old build of the Wings vacuform Vindicator, long before the AM kit! This is sneaky...as it IS a 30's USN scheme, but is the colors used for the "Admirals Barge"; dark blue with silver wings. Still...it dates from the same period.....this is my 1rst vac biplane, the old Bald Eagle Grumman Duck; once more, built before the Glencoe kit was rereleased or the CA kit came along. Classic Castings resin kit of the P-26C Peashooter, built before the Acdemy kit came along. Sierra Vac SBC-3 Helldiver. Decals are an unreleased set from Fowler. Sierra vac PT-19 Cornel Wings vac SOC-3 Seagull Wings vac BT-1. Should have left the canopies closed on this one.... Hobby Boss F4F-3 Wildcat in pre-war markings CollectAire resin T-45 Goshawk. Homemade markings for the USN Naval Aviation Centennial; built a couple of years ago, before the Kinetic kit and markings came out! (And you're welcome!) Academy P-26C Peashooter with Starfighter decals Yet another Classic Castings resin P-26c, with Starfighter decals Hasagawa 1/32 Boeing F4B-4 with Lone Star resin interior Please excuse the other models, but this pic shows my 1/48 PBY-1 Flying Boat in 1937 markings, converted from the Monogram PBY-5 using the resin Belcher Bits set. The rest of those models are 1/32! That's not absolutely every one of my yellow wing birds, but certainly most of them. Doubt I'll get to building my F11C-2 Goshawks in time to make this theme, since I'm stuck at my dad's house for a while! Hope yall enjoy. Comments and questions are welcome, as always! GIL
Rusty White Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 EXXXXXXXcelent collection! A joy to see. Thanks for posting Gil. Love them Pea Shooters!
Ron Bell Posted January 7, 2013 Report Posted January 7, 2013 Here's one and half more. Half 'cause only the bottoms of the Magister's wings are yellow. The Airfix DeHavilland Tiger Moth. And the Frog/Air Lines Miles Magister. Just to keep me honest. see the bottoms are yellow.
ghodges Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Posted January 8, 2013 I wonder if the Miles Magister and the PT-19 Cornel have any developement in common? They could pass for twins! Beautiful work Ron! GIL
