I like the modulation Peter has been a technique I have been using quite a bit of on camo A/C of late lends itself to a more natural faded effect.

First A/C kit I have ordered in 6/8 months arrives next week SB had 20% off ICM "Along Came Sally" in 1/48 the 1b

I bit the hook watched the first episode last night character development seems to work I like the acting more than the CGI which is good but it's not "12 O'Clock High"

What's on My desk..............

I wish I could be that brave Guy when doing the staining I fear the F'up.You know the scene I always wanted to do or be cool is "The Band of Brothers" Caraten scene the tank coming over the Hill before the Sherman's showed up it have to be 1/72 though.

Me in but .......what to build......KI-45 was the first thought?

I was wondering John why you were trying to join the PE railing so soon?It's like a plane work from inside out and the PE railing out along the hull is your LG's on a plane.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!

That Aluminum paint brings out the stressed metal quite well looking Good Sir!

Nice one!Are those Fruil tracks metal? look easier to work with?

So you are still going the Dio Guy? .........

They are easy to build Peter the upper wing just plopped in place Thanks Martin just having fun.

She's finished ...the DVII pics here....

Not bad at all Guy as we learn.

I am calling this one finished and a fun little kit to build.The rigging what is there is done with stretched sprue and incense stick to tighten it up something I learned years ago on a ship model forum,the smoke does the work.The prop I painted wood first then the paint left in the reservoir got mixed with leather to my liking.Once the prop was half way dry(impatient) I coated it with a mix of yellow/red Tamiya clear acrylic(could of probably used more) to give that slight varnish looked.I started dirtying her up some kinda chicken out still looks decent for a fun/quick build.

I looked around the net Ernie and his name pops up but it's all 2yrs old and older except this site?

I think about him a bit was always generous and kind in his remarks as well as builder with attention to details but he has been AWOL........Kaireckstadt...last seen Mar/2023

I luv the colors on this one and Dio sets it off quite Nicely!

That one came out Nice Mike I have a 1/48 kit somewhere to build of the Hornet.

Yes the details on the commander look really good Nice uniform.

Are you going to play with the wood grain on the fuse Guy?I know of stencils and have for the 1/32 I got from Radu for the WNW kit of this crate I have.I am close to finishing on mine just lolling around you might say.

The AM barrels will look the part better in the long everything else looks good from here

Bump?has she crossed the finish line?

OK! Brother don'tt hog all the glory []got that little rascal in the stash also.Looking good I do not try the wood grain in 1/48 will I did but it sucked.I am not doing any eyelets either stretchie string or stretched sprue?You are right these little kits are fun and entertaining.

The upper lozenges have some wrinkles here and there and gaps but from a very short distance all is good.I have put on the side decals,started the tail and finished the last of the strut supports for the wings.
