  1. She looking good to me
  2. Seems Tony I saw a YT video the other night of that is was replacement being flown in off a carrier question is how long did that last?
  3. @And from the first pic looks Red spinner,Middle stone and dark earth and some dirty a@s tires.
  4. I ordered two kits VM F-4 1/32 and a Mossie 1/48 both Tamyia with shipping still cheaper than the F-4 by itself stateside.Just give me a reason I need to have a yard sale for some kits.
  5. At $40 it was instant grab Jeroen.
  6. How's the shipping Paul and time for delivery? F4's !!
  7. Look'in Sharp Tony
  8. What's on the bench is called progress..
  9. I am calling this one done fellas I had three pieces left to install two landing lights and the clear underwing light ..well as my luck has been the last I dropped the r/wing light and wala it was frigg'in gone I am not manufacturing another one I figure by the time I get done sanding and repainting I will break another gun barrel the antenna/pitot tube will both wala best to stop while ahead.I figure should it show fix it then, The kit is a worthy kit for a P-47 the subtleties of the lines and rivets are quite nice.I had no issues with the front cowling myself upon examination notches are supplied to remove any guess work on your part.I thought I had the aux.fuel tank aligned let it sit overnight well it slid some I left it been breaking to much on this one. The one thing I did not understand you have a square hole for the LG but it was loose I mean the reason for square to get a uniform alignment no guess work other than that decals/stencils worked out great beginning to not like Florry's Dust would of been fine with the Sand like you see on the bottom.I was trying to lighten the color of of the OD for sun fade not to successful but is better than the P-40.
  10. I have yet to build a Tamyia 1/32 kit Chris have done a quite a few in the 1/48 and 1/72.I have the three Spits in the stash and had the P-51 but the P-51 Nut found a way to barter that one out my hands like you I have 2X of the ROG in the stash they are doable.
  11. The F-84G is moving right along simplicity,perfect fit and a low piece count=Tamyia fir ya.The P-47 had a couple of other pieces added this evening tail wheel area and the pitot tube tomorrow the running lights and the lower wing lens with a touch of paint.The Ta-152 will follow the F-84.
  12. That's me also wish I had more Tamy's hence the reason I bought one the other day don't get me wrong they build nice just wish I could remember for ya.I actually gave the build away to a friend who is P-51 nut and these were my issues but some issues on the paint side said it's not worthy to reside in the cabinet.The Tamyia kits just fall together and while sometimes I doctor up a 1/48 most times it's for aesthetic qualities.
  13. Not much of a build thread really Chris it just flew together on it's own but here:
  14. Jeroen don't know about the 3D solution but a scratch built whether the shoe be brass/card and a brass rod to which I am sure you are up to. If deployed?
  15. I have built this kit a very very Nice kit did the French markings on mine I like it better than their P-51 kits which to me are a bit over engineered but that's me.
  16. Kinda/not the same with mine the last kit she bought for me was the Trumpter "Liberty Ship" after the Son and I had gone through the D-Day museum in New Orleans for like the 3/4 time always adding and the Liberty Ship section was very interesting.Shirley hated me building and painting in the house that she so encouraged the shop to be built out back.I sometimes think she regrets(probably pass that) it seeing I only spend maybe 1/2 hours a day on TV and it's usually YT,in the 90's we watched TV together but you had better programming "Xfiles" was one we enjoyed.
  17. While the MiniArt P-47 is getting close to a close time to launch another kit the Tamyia F-84 sssheee going to be shiny!I figured out what happened with my Tempest and the F-106 Dart the black base from Alclad would not dry even after a week or more.I have shifted my base to Tamyia XF-18 semi-gloss dries hard and fast if memory serves me right no acrylic clear over lacquer clear it will fracture. I was looking at the Academy F-4c Col.Olds crate have been collecting different subjects with "SCAT"from WWII to Vietnam kit looked real Nice then I looked at the stencils boxed it back up.....
  18. I know.. I know...you just got a 1/32 Hase Ju-87 but not @50% off!! The Academy Hawker Hunter was also 50% off at my Hobbytown in Mobile plus I p/u the Tamy 1/48 P-51B got a couple of more decal sets for the Recce Crates they are colorful.Those three kits were covered by the generosity of my older Sis($100)for my B-day yesterday I spent another $149 on supplies.
  19. She came out looking real Nice John!!
  20. You should try going further south like another 4/500 miles whist it does not happen often here last time Jan/05 we freak.
  21. Not long enough of a range and you got to ditch the scope! I have been studying this morning getting ideas.
  22. Kriss she came real Nice! I almost popped open an F-4c last night Col. Olds plane looked at the stencils and put it back for another day
  23. Looking good there Oliver shame about the first go round but with your skill-set she will be a beauty
  24. Looking good Mike esp the carts!I can't believe you added the antenna already in doing my MiniArt kit they had that and the gun barrels added way to early for my taste...things break.I am anxious to see the final dio keep plugging away.
  25. It came out great Hubert and I still find it hard to believe if actually flew.
