ghodges Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 This is a link to an o-l-d build I submitted to Large Scale planes years ago. They happened to repost it today under "Blast from the past". It's a 1/32 FJ-4 Fury made from the old ID vac kit. It was a project similar to the P-3, though not as extensive! If you enjoyed any part of the P-3 build, you might enjoy looking at this one too. http://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=224 The only other thing of note is that this model had the honor of spending a year at the Naval Air Museum in P-cola as the "Curator's Pick", after winning that award at a contest there. Guess it just goes to prove that I've been a plastic masochist for decades! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph4hand Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Gil, Your skills with vac-u-form aircraft models is absolutely AWESOME. I'd love to watch you work through one with a step-by-step instructions on your techniques. If I lived near you I'd probably bug you to death. :-) BYW - Did you ever consider doing a Seminar Vac-U-Form Techniques at a National Convention? I'd be on the front row! BTW #2 - I also have one of the first vac-U-form kits (from he late 60's(?). t was a P-40(B?) kit from England. It consisted of a fuselage and canopy to be mated with other parts from the old Revel 1/72 kit. Thanks for sharing your superb models. Looking forward to seeing you again at a National.

ghodges Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Actually, what's impressive is my "spares boxes"! I'd never be able to scratch build as much without essentially cobbling stuff together! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
