[1/16 F-16 Cockpit from Italeri]

Thanks James. I had to double check, it was Italeri but the scale is actually 1/12. My bad. I f I am not mistaken, it got passed around from Esci, AMT, then Italeri. There is also an F-104 Starfighter cockpit too. I wish there were more front offices like this.

Another I did a while back. Tamiya's A6M2b Zero. As far as a quality build goes, this kit was a foretelling of things to come. I hope you like her.

 

The antenna got broke off during my move to Jersey.

 

 

[1/16 F-16 Cockpit from Italeri]

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for just a cockpit build. Please move if necessary. This is Italeri's 1/16 cockpit. I also want to do the F-104 cockpit later down the road.

 

 

 

I love model's like this. This was another fun build that was done a while ago.

[Academy 1/48 CH-53 Super Stallion]

There is no link to a WIP because this is the first forum I have actively participated in. But I built this over a year ago. It is Academy's 1/48 Super Stallion

 

 

 

 

I hope you all like her. She was a pleasure to build. I have a few helicopter kits I will be doing. I will post WIP's for those.

[Wingnut Wings Fokker DVII (Fok) done]

Awesome job Jeroen, really. So much talent here. I'm glad I found this place. Will certainly watch your next build.

[Anybody have knowledge about neutron bombs?]

As far as I know, neutron bombs kill people and leave infrastructure relatively intact. But that is a relative term.

 

From Wikipedia:

Neutron bombs are purposely designed with explosive yields lower than other nuclear weapons.^{[citation needed]} Since neutrons are absorbed by air,^{[citation needed]}
even a high-yield neutron bomb is not able to radiate neutrons beyond its blast range and so would theoretically have no destructive advantage
over a normal hydrogen bomb. However, the intense pulse of high-energy neutrons that is generated is intended as the principal
killing mechanism, not the fallout, heat or blast. Although neutron bombs are commonly believed to "leave the infrastructure intact",
current designs have explosive yields in the kiloton range,^[20] the detonation of which would cause considerable destruction through blast and heat effects.

Neutron bombs could be used as strategic anti-ballistic missile weapons or as tactical weapons intended for use against armored forces.^{[citation needed]} The neutron bomb was originally conceived by the U.S. military as a weapon that could stop massed Soviet armored divisions from overrunning allied nations without destroying the infrastructure of the allied nation.^[21]

[Jumo 004 close up video]

Thanks for posting this one! Where has this video been taken? I guess the States?

Don't know Thomas. I am building an Me 262 for the GB and just ran across it. Some good footage though.

[Jumo 004 close up video]

For anyone building the Me 262 here is a cool video on YouTube of close up shots all around the engine. This might help detailing your engine.

[1/32 Wingnut Wings D.H.9a in US Marine colors.]

Thanks All, It was a refreshing change of pace from WW2 subjects. Really love this WW1 stuff now. And  I am really looking forward to the Great War GB. Haven't picked my subjects yet but since we have over a year to decide............what will it be?

 

Jeroen, yes it was EZ-Line. Nice stuff to work with but expensive.

[1/32 Me 262 A-1a "White 17"]

Better late than never. Had to finish my D.H. 9 first. So, here it is, my entry into the Me GB. Trumpeters 1/32 Swallow. This will not be the clear version.

 

 

White 17 from the decal set.

 

 

And a picture of her during the war.

 

 

 

I hope I can do this by the end of June. The way work has been going, I'm not so sure.

Thanks Jeroen,

They were in my spam folder. Never thought to look there. But since all is well, it doesn't matter. So, yeah, watch your spam folder everyone.

[1/32 Wingnut Wings D.H.9a in US Marine colors.]

Here is my finished D.H.9a in US Marine colors. A plane from this
unit received the first US Marine Medal of Honor. Here she is. I am not
quite happy with the outcome of the colors, a tad too yellow in my
opinion. But there is no going back. I almost wish I had stayed with the
kit colors.. She is built out of box other than the Bob's Buckles for
the rigging. Oh yeah, the
rigging...............................................LOL.

 

This
was many firsts for me. First WW1, first biplane, hence my first
rigging job. Oh yeah, the
rigging.........................................

 

The picture I went by.

 

Here she is as built.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I hope you like her. Some disappointments but overall a really god experience.

[Ship modelling question]

[Ship modelling question]

I see the section for the ship GB. Is this still a go considering the new path this forum is going down? I think ships should be an integral part of a Large Scale Modeller forum. They are the biggest models out there. I am a ship builder and would love to have the forum be a place to build and discuss those kits we choose to build. Is aircraft and armor the only subjects to be allowed here?

Nope, no problems but since there is a need for confirmation, I presume, you might want to check that out. Let's keep the spammers out, LOL.

[Trouble logging in]

I have not received my confirmation email and it has been over an hour. Maybe that many people are signing up but can someone check this out?
