My year of completions.

The F-16 is my favorite although they are all good looking builds. Nice work! -

Thanks very much Danny. -
I'm happy to help rafju. And welcome to LSM!

I no longer have the parts. It might work out but it would be a waste due to the fact that the quarter windows are all wrong. You would still have to remedy that so I'd just recommend using the Hasegawa E or M for a F conversion.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. -
Some VERY nice models. Good work. I appreciate the help on the masks. He says they should be done in about a week so I should have them in about 2 weeks. No big rush as I am just now getting started on the model.

Hey Steve. I've already made a deal with Topnotch for the needed masks but will keep you in mind for future needs! Thanks!!

I'm planning to build the Trumpeter P-40B as either George Welch's or Ken Taylor's a/c. I'm looking for someone to cut me some masks for the side numbers. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! John

Thanks Phil. This is a good time to get something started. -
Some surgery and test fitting. The Hasegawa exhaust cutouts and the quarter panels will fit but require a fair amount of trimming, etc. Not a BIG problem but we shouldn't have to resort to that type of thing to get a more accurate model. If any of you decide to give this a try be advised it WILL involve some cussing.....LOL. And you will need the Hasegawa parts as left-overs from a "N" build. I wouldn't advise robbing them from a complete kit. I'm posting this for your info. I'm not going to start this build at this time. Later on.

I had worked on this Hasegawa F6F off and on for about a year but finally decided to go on and finish it. I thought doing it like the one in the photo would be interesting. Would make a great diorama but I didn't want to take it that far. The carrier deck is from Big Tim. Paints used were Model Master. After market includes Barracudacast tires, FineMolds belts and, if I remember correctly, a True Details cockpit. The gun sight is from my spares stash. I hope you like the results of my efforts!
