I thought i heard you can post on facebook and tell it to post on here as well. However i did not see an option for that. Did I get that wrong?

Finished my first ever base which i hope works with the A-20. Grass came out just OK but will do…

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

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…

I am trying to drill out the .5 machine guns on the P-51. I try to start with a small drill and find the center and then expand from there. But i have a heck of a time getting that first hole centered. Any tips for a better way of doing it? When i get started right it looks nice – when not….

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.

First attempt at bare metal finish.

Primed plane with Mr hobby 1500 primer.

Then sprayed black gloss – which orange peeled on me. Maybe should have added more thinner.

Wet sanded with 2500 and 4000.

Then sprayed with thinned tamiya LP-11 silver.

Since I spray outside, let it bake in sun a bit.
