Bell 429 progress is coming along as I’m working on some cabin shape changes. The bottom needed to be flatter. My seats now have seatbets and I have small magnets i want to use for panel attachment etc

Just learned today that my wifes fathers double cousin, Paul Russell Danford, flew as a gunner on a A-20, 9th AF, during world war 2. Possibly 410th BG I an trying to dig up more information. He is now 102. Will at a minimum throw togehter a A-20 for him. Would any of you happen to have one that is done? And one that you are not that attahced to?

Taking of masking after several weeks is always exciting and a little scary – one of my favorite parts about the process, though!

In this case no issues – phew 😁

For my next build i was planning to do something different that mynplanes. I bought a Tamiya 1/350 scale Fletcher destroyer, which seemed like a small and good beginner kit. I also got photo etched parts for it (Eduards) since i figured it would be a good way to pratice working with PE.

What i did NOT think through is how complex the…

I bought a Hasegawa P-47 in 1/72 about 2 months ago when i started to get backninto modelling. I wanted to use as “practice” mule, so there are multiple layers of paint on here😁. I discovered one of the markings were for 15th AF model stationed in italy so i figured i would finish it as one of the “little friends” to the the B-24 i am…

So my B-24 build in progress needed some “little friends”. I am therefore building two P-51Ds in parallel – in in 1/48th scale and one in a matching (to the B-24) 1/72 scale. Both will have 15th AF markings based in Italy. Both are Tamiya kits. These are old molds (1995 i think) but the fit is a relief compared to the Airfix B-24 (new mold…

Airfix B-24H 1/72 scale

I just started to build a B-24. My wife’s uncle was a pilot flying B-24s out of Italy. Eventually I would love to build his actually plane but I don’t have much information to go on – so for now I’ll stick to just a similar B-24 from the 15th Air Force that was based in Italy.
