I have to say there was something uniquely sleek in the design of the Victor Mk 1 and Vulcan Mk 1.
It got worse with the Mk 2 versions of both.

This build is truly awesome! I consider myself a halfway decent resin kit builder, but this is utterly world class!
Totally agree Ernie (but for the « I consider myself a halfway decent resin kit builder » : too strong for me, and too weak for you)

Well, the preserved Ki-84 certainly has horizontal tailplanes, like in the pics here ...

That stabiliser angle looks really weird ... You're sure about it ?
Keep up the tempo, mate !

You guys put me to shame : some started, or resumed, but none finished ...
I got my golfing back in line though, although far from a decent handicap, after a 25 years’ hiatus

Cool ! The Akatombo is a nice little kit !
Thank you all, and especially to Ernie for organising, and Joy’s « magic hand »

Apologies for my ignorance. Does anybody own this kit and wants to share the first impressions?:)
What I have read so far : it’s good for a « C » version although it has some parts for other variants like the « -5 ». But the IP is there only for the C, i.e. with part glass, part analogic instruments. The « glass » IP of the « -5 » is simply not there, and should be either scratchbuilt or wait for an AM cockpit.
Biggest disappointment seems to be the lack of intake trunks, as on the previous F-5E kit. But overall it looks like a nice kit. And the chances you will get a 2000 from another manufacturer seem a lot smaller than WnW doing a French fighter, if you see what I mean

My ultimate goal right now after my B-36 is a scratchbuilt Fokker Super Universal in the largest practical scale that I can obtain a decent R-985 for. If I can pull that off, my life will be complete.
Well, I’d better resume the work on the #&@« /! cylinders’ heads of the R-985 I was working on 4 years ago, then (and of which you can get a glimpse of the renderings in the Beaver build thread) ... . I have the 3D printer for it, when the design is finished, btw

I’d say that compared to the Tamiya Spitfires, it is a Mk V ... Compared to the Revell Mk II, it is also a Mark V ....
When I say « it is », I really meant « it is supposed to be », btw.
Besides the comparisons above, there is not much to say for the kit ...

Looks fantastic. I wish I had 1/10 of your talent for painting. For once, we have a model that looks aged, sun-bleached and worn-out like the original, not like it’s borrowed a tartan from your country !
Tremendous result !Hubert

Some teeny weeny parts to improve a resin cockpit ... The small switches rack in the middle on the extreme right was my fifth attempt and took me some 8 hours overall before I called myself happy . It's made of 14 components overall ... and I confirmed I have to improve my soldering skills
And to think nobody will ever notice...

PS: A special salute to the first who guesses which cockpit this is from

There is only one OV-10 IMHO, the A. Good that you found one, Harv.

Not by a long shot. My bench "area" pretty much looks like that. I'm in the middle of trying to make room on my bench for my boys but I'm failing miserably.
Anything not on a shelf is technically a work in progress. I don't even know what everything is. So I'm definitely not as organized as CAT is.
My plan for the new year is to try and get through at least one pile of started kits...
I admire that you work in this area, Carl. If I had a work area and workbench like this one, I’d probably tackle it with a fork, or more likely a D-12 dozer, followed by a high-pressure rinsing. But then, it’s just me .
Each to his own, as they say.

Got some decals from Draw Decals. If you have not guessed I am not in camoed aircrafts by now ...
I am missing some Dago Red decals. Greg forgot to include them in the first package, and they are on their way. So now I have a choice of a mildly modified P-51 D with Voodoo, or a more modified one with Dago Red (unless I do both, of course ).
I also received an interesting package from China, but one "sprue" (technically not a "sprue", in fact) was missing. So you'll have to wait until I get the missing component to see it
Hubert
PS :and of course, I blame Tony for the Draw Decals' "investment"
