Finished. Delivered . Found out today it reached it's happy home intact. Stock kit, no additions .

Big 1/16 Puma. Probably gravitating towards the bench sooner than later. Stuart "Honey" Cause it's adorable. And I love Caunter scheme. And these. Not a fan of the E model Eagle, but the story of these brave men and women made me want to build one . Now I need to find one.

Moving forward on the F. Found a split seam on the G, that now needs attention. F is the one going in the mail so I am focusing on it to get it done and in the box.

Let's get small!

Jeez. Are you and that other guy trying to corner the market on Corsairs?!? 🤣

I bought one Spitfire, to support their efforts, even though it's not my favorite plane. I will be buying a couple of these, cause I love 109's.

1/72 Erla / Regensberg production line. Building a G-10 for myself and an F-2 for a friend. Eduard kits. Pretty typical Eduard so far.

So perhaps this is just humor, but I would be perfectly happy to see a Lysander in 1/35.

I am happy with it. I was a professional model builder for over 25 years. I get the scale difference. I even did the math on the Kate, just for fun. I don't see it as an issue worth bothering with. I wanted a Kate, now I have one, without waiting for an Infinity kit "In the right scale" that's never going to see the light of day. Or, worse IMO, a resin kit. Most civilians, lets say, who see my models never will never know the diff either, to be honest. I'm planning on buying Borders Zero when it comes out.

I love my drunk designed Kate. I should have bought the deck/Island for it as well. Then maybe hide a Tamiya tank on the other side... 🧌

Agreed. Love that plane, for the oddness. But it was also superbly functional. So how new is that Airfix tooling? I'm not very optimistic about a 32 scale one coming along any time soon.

Sure. But I think with the squiggles you would have too, or they would feather along the edges which is not what those German squiggles look like. They tend to be tight. They also are probably never anywhere near as perfect as most of us would require on our models.

Interesting. But how well will it conform to the curves of a fuselage spine, or a wing root? If the plastic is too thick they also tend to lift inside the pattern, in my experience.

I used to live in a fairly nice part of Torrence, CA. Right off PCH at the base of the Palos Verdes hills. I wouldn't have needed this book. I used to see cars like this nearly every weekend. Of course in some cases they could have been replicas, as this Daytona coupe may be, but the Alpine Renault, R5's, F1 cars on trailers, etc. were all real. Practically a car show if you knew where to park and watch.

Famous last words...

I think it would count as a Hybrid. It had diesels turning the generators. It amuses me to think people are driving these Hybrid cars around not knowing the basic power train concepts were used by German tanks and U-Boats.

" Matt yellow and Matt red only. With additional accent spray pattern as an option on the sport model Kursk SC model" Modern Porsche would have fancier names for those colors. Like Matt Saharan Sand or something.

Thank you

Thank you

And here is what it looks like when I use it. Dirt bag Spitfire. 1/48 Eduard MKII. Nice kit, nothing to report other than ridiculously dark codes. Idk what they were thinking. And it seems all their early Spit kits are afflicted, so next one I will have to use other decals or paint for them. 1/72 Bandai B-wing. Special SDCC version, hence no meatballs. Scratch/kit bashed base for above. And a tiny one. Really tiny. 1/144 Sweet A6M3.

I want to like it. I kinda do, but I don't like the dark blue. It should have stuck with the Italian colors, as the old scheme but broken up differently. And for sure, very different top to bottom so it's obvious what the planes attitude is.

Fair point. And I never use it for brush painting. I have Vallejo for that. As for colors, I don't believe in matching to color chips. Assuming they are even correct. I'm going to adjust to my eye. Then it's going to get faded and shaded and messed with. And I love that I can thin and clean my airbrush with rubbing alcohol. Even in today's economy, rubbing alcohol is cheap. To each their own, I just don't see a need to switch.
