I answered in your other thread. If you need the whole rear accessories design, I have done the design for 1/32.

Did you design this one, Ron ?
I stalled on my own design, at the cylinder design stage. Anyway, I am interested in a 1/32 version, and have the printer to print it. I also know for sure that Lukasz of Lukgraph was looking for one R-985 design.Hubert

Sorry, Hubert, but it isn’t always the British, my friend.
The « Deux-ponts » is still a beauty, compared to the steeds from the Blackburn stable .... The last one is called the Blackburd. Methink there is one « b » too many, that should have been replaced by a « t »

A question if I may, the lower longitudinal line of olive-drab on the nose looks odd to me. I'm certain it was like that on the real aircraft, but is it not more usually a more horizontal line? IE wider laterally at the nose end? I've never seen one tapered thus, but then I'm not really knowledgeable on P51's...
You are generally right, but in the case of Lope’s Hope, which is the restored Mustang Peter is reproducing, the anti-glare panel has this unique triangular shape.

Whilst VERY cool-looking, you guys are aware that this one is just fictitious ?
There is however a Macchi M-33 in 1/32, by Brach Models.

AFAIK, MEK is a lot « hotter » than standard polystyrene glues, and will work on ABS or PMMA (Perspex)

I have a solution for you guys : kits take a lot less space unassembled in a box. Why do you think I have such a big stash, rather than overcrowded shelves
?

Do as you wish guys. If I had 200 grand to invest in an electric car, I’d get a Porsche Taycan... And as a bonus, whilst you old farts sit three-in-a-row in your monster truck, I’ll get three hot chicks in my beautiful, environmentally-friendly, car
... They can even be Swedish, if that matters 
Hubert
PS: besides, I am already driving an ugly electric vehicle, with two-passengers’s capacity, big tires, and a rear-loading platform ... when I go golfing

On the same site, there is a second walkaround, with this specific pic, among many, on the float rudders cables.

Kittyhawk’s 1/32 Mirage 2000 seems available, or it should be anytime soon.
Good news for modern jets afficionados

When I was you g, I could not get enough of the « Buck Danny » comics. They told the story of a US Navy major and his two wingmen/mates. I derived a love for e erything Navy, and the Panthers / Cougars / vigilantes / Demons, etc ... The series still exist today, with more elaborate scenarii, and far better aircraft illustrations by a well-known French aviation artist, Francis Bergèse.
The « Chevaliers du Ciel « comic series with the Mirage III C : heaven as well
And I read Closterman’s « Le Grand Cirque », of course. I grew with the feeling that the Tempest was soooooo much better than the Spitfire because of this book, but it was not enough for me to build any of those as kits ...

PS : if anyone does not know, those circles were in fact internal reinforcements of the wooden hull, to afix various instruments and equipments

Question for Ernie : the 1/700 Fokker Dr 1 has a fully-detailed cockpit ?

OK.
Here is my donation for the raffle : the rather nice Doyusaha A6M-2 in 1/32 ...
... with an additional twist inside the box, on top of the kit parts ...
Yes, this is the Pascal Huguet "Rufe" conversion set ...
Sorry for the blurred instructions in the first pic above, but you get the idea ...
I love flying boats and floatplanes, but, let's face it, I will probably never tackle this one before my 300th birthday

Possibly my next project in 1/24 scale.
it's a 1/24 de Havilland DHC-2 Beaver. Very simple snap together kit. I plan on super detailing this with complete scrach built interior. I have to cut out the window openings and add clear plastic. It's definitely going to be a lot of work. So wish me luck, I'm going to need it!
Ron G
Fantastic project, Ron ! IIRC there was an article in an issue of Fine Scale Magazine, that did just what you are planning to do.
A civilian, a floatplane, what’s not to love ?

On the subject of the DC3 This really did blow my skirt up!
Imagine what it could be like in polished aluminium, with a civilian livery and seats inside

Come on, HpH, if you want to sell more of these, give us the civilian version.

Just a confirmation. I’m in, giving and (possibly

Hey Hubert
Your going to love that new Infinity. When I got mine, just recently, with the 0.2mm needle installed I mixed up some Vallejo model air and could paint 1/2 mm lines like I was drawing with a pencil! My Paasche Raptor couldn't even come close.

Ron, I read your post about it, and it convinced me, if I needed any more convincing, that is ...

Got some Reskit wheels for some of my stash queens ...
- The OV-10
- The P-51 I want to make as a racer ...
The F-105 D got an addition to an-ever growing list of AM (until I find the resolve to tackle it and redo a correct windshield/canopy )
And finally, got myself an anticipated Christmas present
This is the 2-in-1 set, with 2 needles and nozzles (0.15 and 0.4 mm) and two cups (2 and 5 ml). Did some fondling already : I understand why this brand is in such high praise. Everything oozes (German) quality

Thinking about 3d printing a P&W R-985 1/24

If you focus on the cylinders, I have done the design for the crankcase and accessories. I should actually resume work on the cylinder-and-head design ....
