Thanks! They are great kits and a joy to build. 🙂

I'm glad you like it Scott, thanks. That circular antenna was a radio direction finder and was "trained" around by the pilot. It didn't spin. 🙂 I'm looking forward to seeing your "K" when it's done! 🙂

Looks like it was "rode hard and put up wet"! LOL

About ready for decaling.

I decided this one had gathered enough dust, etc and was in need of some attention. I've decided to re-do it from a RNZAF a/c to a Royal Navy a/c in the Pacific Fleet in overall GSB. I've already adjusted the wingtips and done a little prepainting but figured I better post some pictures before work proceeds any further. I have some EagleCal decals I'll use to do #135. Stay tuned......

Thanks Rod. I'm pleased with the way it turned out too. Thanks again!🙂

Thanks Kevin. Much appreciated. 🙂

Done and RFI

This is my second "K" conversion using Tim Bigger's resin tail to convert a "E" to a "K". Fits real well and is nicely detailed. Recommended! Painted with Testor's enamel Olive Green for the base camo color. I did some fading and weathering using some Testor's OG that I "adjusted" for fading, etc. Decals are SuperScale. The only after market item(s) are the resin Eduard wheels and the FineMolds belts. I'm pleased with the way it turned out and I hope you guys are too. 🙂

Thank you Carl. It's coming along well (fingers crossed!) and I figure I'll have it finished in a couple more days (it sat there 3/4's done for several weeks so it's time to finish it up.) 🙂

Getting there!!! 🙂

Outstanding work Rod! Very well done.

Time to get back to my P-40K build. I had set it aside to wait for some paint. Now I can get back to it.

Thank you Paul. 3 weeks on this one for some reason didn't feel fast at all. Actually I was glad to have it finished! 🙄

I'm glad you like it K. Thanks! 🙂

Completed. https://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/20636-tamiya-f4u-1d-completed/

Calling this one done.

I've had that bottle of MM acrylic for a couple of years. I was using MM enamel but ran out so I decided to use the acrylic on this build. I found 2 bottles of enamel on ebay the other day and snapped 'em up. Not delivered just yet though. If I can get another bottle of acrylic I'd test it out and if all went well I'd use it at some point since it gives such a nice smooth finish.

It's Model Master acrylic. I agree, it sure gives a nice smooth finish.

I've decided on this one.

All repainted now but I'm not so sure I want to tempt it by masking off those areas. I'll look for a different scheme.

If it's not one thing it's something else!!!! I was starting to mask off the areas on the tail to be painted white but when I pulled off a strip of masking tape to adjust the fit this little surprise happened. I then used masking tape to see just which areas might have this problem with the results you see here. I am NOT pleased!!! I tested the wings to see if there was going to be a problem there but there wasn't. I had painted the wings and other fuselage areas yesterday and then painted the rest of the model (underside and rear area) today. Same paint from same bottle. All I can figure is it has something to do with the amount of thinning I did as I had to use a bit more on this area than on the areas painted yesterday. The best thing to do at this point is to re-paint the problem area but use less thinner. Fingers and toes crossed. Choosing a different subject.

Making good progress now. The wings, canopy, etc are not attached. I just put them in place to see how they look, etc. 🙂

Thank you Kevin. 🙂
