Fly Hurricane IIc re-do done
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Thanks Kai!!!! -
I've decided to build another one of the SH P-39's. The 1st step is to cut the fuselage where the "plug" will go. Then it's on to the build. I'm a little undecided as to which a/c it will be but I'd like to do Shomos' Snook's 2nd. I had the decals at one time but can't find them now so if any of you have 'em and don't plan to use 'em I'd sure like to get 'em.

Here are a couple of my German helmets that were dug up in Latvia. I have three. Sure would like to know the story behind them.

Thank you Kevin. Me too! -
HB F-84E finished
JohnB replied to JohnB's topic in LSM 1/32 and Larger Aircraft Ready for Inspection
Agreed Ernie. The F-84 had lots of attractive schemes but it seems kit and decal folks concentrate on the Korean war markings. Thats understandable but it's nice to do something a bit different. I chose to do schemes that were out of the "usual" for both my '84's. I had some custom masks made for my "G" using the Tamiya 1/48 scheme as a guide. -

Thanks Dennis. I agree. A re-do can make a older build look better for sure. And it's easier than building a whole new kit. -

Thanks Ernie. I doubt it was a new a/c. I just decided not to dirty it up other than the exhausts stains. -

Looking good! -
Those are some good guns to have Scott. It took me a good while to finally snag a Luger but I did finally get one a couple of years ago.
-
I appreciate that, thanks!

Hi Paul, I use a old Paasche H airbrush I've had for over 20 years or more. The nozzle # has rubbed off over the rears but all their nozzles are adjustable. The H brushes are sort of the "standard" brush but they also have a "F" which is a bit smaller and is for very fine work. However, I hardly ever use it and I get the wanted results from my "H". I don't know how much help this is but there it is. Good luck!!! John

Thanks Peter. Coming along with the decals although I had to replace the serial numbers with some from my stash. The Techmod numbers were a bit over size. Not a big deal though.
-
Making good progress. Decaling should be completed soon then it'll need overspraying with clear flat.
-
A friend of mine had one and I got to shoot it. Fun to shoot!
-
Too rich for my blood at this point. Sure would be nice to snag one though.

I've been wanting a Carbine, M1 or M2, but haven't found one I could afford. (Actually I haven't look in a while as I was spending too much $$$ on all that stuff!)
-
Unfortunately no Gaz. It was re-barreled at some point.

Thanks Gaz. More coming. I've read Blood Red Snow and yes, it's a good read. Have you read Seven Days In January? Another good one.
