Count me in

Oh dear… how have I missed this thread over the last few months?! Well, better catch up with contributions

Way ahead of ya bud! I found my MRP flanker colors, the dark blue and grey are a pretty close match to the decals which is good to know if I need to do paint touch-up. As for the medium UAF Flanker blue… well, here’s how it looks on plastic

I haven’t decided yet if I’ll use the DXM decal sheet for the digital camo Blue 58, or if I’ll use the Cutting Edge decal sheet for the 1996 scheme in splinter camo worn at Fairfield. Either way, the build is a GWH Su-27 single seater using a Quinta cockpit and Reskit paint masks. The Reskit masks cover a few panels to speed up painting, such as the grey tail leading edge panels, and also provide two differently sized canopy masks (plus interior canopy mask) to allow the painting of the canopy seal around the glass. Life is hectic right now so who knows how fast I will be able to build, but I’m pleased to participate either way. Stay tuned for photos, I’m starting to cut parts off sprues now! -Mike

Ok I finally got the stash somewhat sorted. Add to the donation pile please a 1/32 Trumpeter P-40E, P-40M, or P-40N (winner’s choice of one of these three). If I come across any aftermarket for the kit in the next few days I’ll include in the box, not sure if I bought any yet.

Bravo Herbert! The photon was my first resin printer and it's a brilliant machine.

Please count me in, thanks Ernie. If I find something suitable in my stash I'll add it later - still haven't got to the point of unpacking and organizing all of that yet and I don't know what's what.

Isn’t any move a big move when you have a model stash? 😎

It’s something I want to do! We’re moving this weekend though so it’s a little hard to do anything hobby related just yet.

Fusion did do a conversion but only in 1/48. It’s a very nice set if you can find one, I build one of them eons ago. I got a chuckle at the timing of this post, as I was just thinking about making one of these in 32nd scale last week

I can’t see the photos either…

My word, that seaplane tender it gorgeous!

Glad you made it there and I hope you have a great time. Which mike? Speaking from experience, about every 3rd person at the show is probably named Mike 😛

Nothing exists yet unfortunately, with the exception of the old Paragon conversion set

You’re going to need to make significant changes to the wings and tailplane… the cowling as well depending which production batch you’re modeling. You can’t just stick floats on a Roden Albatros and call it a W4 unfortunately

I have the 1/24 here - it’s the nicest and best detailed kit I’ve ever seen that wingnut developed, of all kits that have been released. And the wings are dead flat in it too, no curving to fix

Since Floyd isn't a member on LSM, I offered to share his news from his Facebook post. "Sneak Peak: HH-60J/MH-60T Conversion for the Kitty Hawk HH-60H. CAD done by Mike Swinburne and decals done by the faithful Mason Doupnik. Hopefully coming to the IPMS/USA National Convention. A lot of things have to align to make this happen. Fingers crossed" I'm really excited for this one! Floyd got me roped in to do the CAD designs for the new parts; someone else had already designed the radome and short fuel tank. Some parts are not shown in the attachments including a fully new control panel for the -T, parts to add to the existing kit panel for the -J, the older style flir dome and SX16 searchlight. Maybe additional items if needed too.

Oh man, that’s awesome!

Very nice!!!!!!!! If I wasn't building an unarmed assembly ship, I'd be dropping money on these like they were going out of style.

I don’t think it would sadly… Think you’d be doing a total or near-total scratchbuild

Thanks for the info and link to those photos, Hubert
