  2. Hasegawa 1:32 F6F Hellcat

    A quick run-down on the particulars:
    Hasegawa F6F-5E Night Fighter kit # St-101 (built as F6F-3 standard fighter)
    Eduard's old, small PE set for a few cockpit details and a couple of tail wheel parts
    Master gun barrels from Victory Models
    a mix of Montex paint masks and Techmod Decals
    Mr Surfacer 1500 gray primer
    Alclad II Duraluminum basecoat (for chipping)
    Model Masters enamels (airbrushed)
    Model Masters clearcoats (rattle can gloss base for decals, flat with airbrush)
    RB seatbelts
    Scratchbuilt:
    most of the pit, except for a few PE parts and a few kit parts spruced up
    tail wheel, except for PE arms with holes, doors were my first try at using brass sheet
    gear bays - didn't go too crazy here, just some ribs and stuff, wiring and tubing, drilled out the kit wheels to make them look better
    added a bunch of wiring and some aluminum tubing exhaust pipes to the engine
    Weathering:
    really wanted to see if the chipping technique I learned on Doogs website would work with enamels instead of acrylics, so after priming (with gray, not black) I put down a coat of Alclad and then hairspray, then color. I chose not to paint the yellow primer. I found that window cleaner and a toothbrush did a pretty fair job of chipping the blue off, so I went with that.
    learned a really cool thing about rivets - if you scribe, then prime, then sand smooth, then poke your rivet lines with a compass needle in a pin vise, then paint over them, you can lightly wet sand the whole plane with 1200 grit after the glosscoat, and the rivets will show up very slightly. Maybe you all knew that, but I didn't! Worked out great, very subtle.
    all of the shading was done with pastel chalk and a stiff paint brush after painting, before final matte coat.

  6. Fisher Ryan ST-M

    The beautiful Fisher kit of a beautiful aircraft : the Ryan ST-M.
    The fuselage was foiled, and this was an interesting experience.
    I stll want to add two pilots, to update the vignette and reinforce the scale impression of the bird.

  7. Nieuport Sesquiplan Speed record racer

    An old vacform kit of the Nieuport Sesquiplan, that was the firts aircarft to fly above 200 mph, piloted by French pilot Sadi Lecointe.
    The kit was from Air Craft Models, a British cottage industry vacform. Being of the "female" molds type (i.e. the parts are sucked into receeses in the molds, it was a great kit, precise, and easy to deal with, unlike most vacs.
    Sadi Lecointe was one of the most well-known aviators of his time and considered a true hero in France.
    Hence the title of the small vignette "The hero and his steed".

  8. TOILET BOMBER!

    ZM Skyraider in its iconic scheme.  The album pic shows the model as the famous launch photo showed it just as it shot off the cat. 
    This was my very first Large Scale build after I returned from a 30 year modeling hiatus. Yes, it has its hiccups and bumps, especially in the weathering department, but I actually want to revisit that part of it and dirty up the bottom a bit. Maybe I’ll show it on the display only table in San Marcos this year.

  9. HPH-Infinity SB2C Helldiver.

    With every bit of aftermarket known to man.  I’ll get it blown off and taken outside for more pictures soon enough.
    This was a tough, but fun and very rewarding build.

  13. Wingnut Wings Felixstowe Curtiss flying boat

    This was my first Felix build, built using Pheon decals and full Aviattic “linen effects” decals on all flying surfaces. 
    It was a very pleasurable build.  The structural rigging is monofilament line for strength, and the control runs are EZ Line.
