Dick Montgomery Posted June 19, 2016 Report Posted June 19, 2016 Just finished the 1/48th P-40 by Hase....a very nice kit. After-market stuff by Master Model (Pitot Tube) and Quick-Boost (control surfaces) Glued on the last piece about 8:30 this Father's Day morning.....a gift to myself:
ghodges Posted June 19, 2016 Report Posted June 19, 2016 Lovely late model Flying Tiger Dick! Looks just weathered enough to show some action without any abuse. Nice start to the day! GIL
Dick Montgomery Posted June 19, 2016 Author Report Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) Thanks guys. I'm looking forward to entering it in some of the local shows over the next few months.....don't expect much in the way of awards but I do learn some valuable lessons by comparing my work to the Rembrandts that share the category in which it will be entered. I can credit much of my technique improvement to being entered in competitions. I learn more by not winning than I do on those rare occasions where I haul some hardware home.

GregWise Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 If you wanna win awards you first gotta call Dibs.
Dick Montgomery Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Posted June 20, 2016 Dibs on 1st! (No, Dibs is on 2nd, Nodibs is on first) 1
Dick Montgomery Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Posted June 21, 2016 Gracias Mark. You might see it at a local show in the next few months.
Dick Montgomery Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Posted June 22, 2016 Thanks. Hasegawa made it easy.
Roktman Posted June 23, 2016 Report Posted June 23, 2016 A very nice present to yourself - it looks terrific. It's good to see a model thats just lightly weathered for a change and not beat to sh*t. Happy belated Fathers Day BTW.
Dick Montgomery Posted June 23, 2016 Author Report Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks Kevin. I try to keep the weathering to a point where it looks authentic. It's actually quite easy to get some weathering to show, and much more fun to do, in my view, as an aircraft that is pristine. At least, I can pass off some scratches and dings as weathering......
