    Great work Jim...why am I looking at Alley Cat conversions now?

    This was my first published article that I ever did.. It appeared in the September 2011 issue of Military Illustrated Modeller magazine... Cockpit had wiring and hydraulic lines added (this was before Barracuda's Sidewall upgrade set was on the market), Eduard's Late Mk.IX harness and some of Interior PE set was used. I also added Barracuda's fantastic Cockpit upgrade set, Padded Seat and access door and 4 slot wheels. This scheme is included in the Tamiya boxing, but its incorrect. I was lucky and was able to contact the pilot's son, and he confirmed with me with the correct serial number that I had found during my research. All the markings were painted on with custom paint masks made from Miracle Masks Hope you like!

    This was my completed build for the North Africa GB over on Scale Rail and Plastic forum when it was still alive before the HDD died... At this stage its was 99.98% done... Just needed glue on the small under wing parts and the aerial wire...

    Thanks guys! Jeroen, I used a set of Profi Modeller Barrels, Eduard set Harness and AMS Props I had the crank cases already fitted and painted by the time they arrived. Markings are Custom Paint Marks done by Joe at Scale Precision, and Apache Head marking on the Tail was robbed from the Zotz Decal Sheet B-25's at War Part 1

    Tail Fillet comes as a separate piece, so different variants can be done ... The instructions would have you to glue the two half's together and then place it on the fuse... But my tail parts were warped, so I glued them in place on each fuse half with some Tamiya extra thin... hopefully this will push them back into shape. Interior Parts are sprayed with Mr Color 351 Zinc Chromate Type 1 Seat was weathered using Silver dry brushed and a Eduard harness was fitted... Fine Copper wire was added to the rear of the instrument panel as this area is visable once every thing has been closed up...

    Here is another stalled project that I am resurrecting... Originally I was planning to do this as an article for MIM, but it didn't quite make it! So I have dragged it into work for my lunch time project... I will be using the Trumpeter kit and it will be finished as P-47D #42-226628, Rozzie Geth II/Miss Fire, Col. Fred J. Christensen, Jr., 62nd FS, 56th FG. The kit comes with these markings included but the art is incorrect as Trumpeter has the background white instead of yellow... So I will either applying an yellow coat to the kit decal, or just buy the new book from Kagero P-47 Thunderbolts of the USAAF which has this scheme included in the decal sheet. So I will do a quick fire up of pic's and add comments to them shortly! A lot detail is hidden away once the fuse halfs are sandwiched together... You can leave it out... but I just used the bare bones to help everything line up... Nice clear cowl so you can display that huge Pratt & Whitney R-2800... but I will be painting it!

    Oh there is some Accurate Armour Tracks... which is half the price of the correction set.. I would recommend looking at them after you seen the kits offering as they are.... ah nice word is "lacking"! http://www.accurate-armour.com/ShowProduct.cfm?category=12&subcategory=94&product=497&manufacturer=0
  22. Dave J

  23. Dave J
