Vallejo Model Air RLM set.

thank you all for the compliments, I hope my next build turns out as pretty...this may have just been beginners luck lol

it really bothered my OCD as well :gogo

thank you! Stripes are masked and sprayed with light gray mixed with white. It drove me nuts making them non symmetrical and uneven widths but its what they were!

actually it does for me. My grandfather flew PBM's (im obsessed with them) and my other Grandfather was signal corp on a liberty ship in the pacific. I've models of both subjects.

This was my failed GB entry for "Wings over the Reich"...well its finally done! https://www.flickr.com/photos/shawnmanny/sets/72157645587290775/ This was also my first go at airbrushing, now I love it! More pics in the link above

wow, this is gonna save some serious time for vac builders and super detailers,just think you can cut out all your bulkheads, ribs, etc

Latest Acquisitions bought my first ever airfix kit, 1/72 DH-88. Worst kit I've ever bought....the wings are mismolded and its generally crap. However it will be a good challenge.

winter = bench time! winter also means lack of humidity and 90+ degrees. Win all around

Luckily my friends and family are all supportive of my many many hobbies. However I do get a lot of "Why are you building/painting/adding that, you're never going to see it" "Why does it take you so long, I used to build a model in a weekend" "How do you find the time for this?" followed by "it...

Thanks Gator! Christian, 109-190 po-tay-to po-ta-to :nothingtoad

sorry Christian, this IS a 190 thread but the 109 was in ref to the 21st CT kit mention

Thank you! I really enjoyed the show experience and the whole affair. Im going to knuckle down on this build (even more) with the goal of doing well at the next contest. As to the 21st CT pilots, yes I love them! I have a few more stashed for my Stuka or '110 down the road. I built their...

also managed to take home 2nd Place in 1/48 Scale Prop aircraft at the STL IPMS show. Big show (160+ models), Im still amazed I won anything as that class was LOADED with nice work. My 1/32 Jet and Prop were passed over but I did volunteer to judge and learned a LOT. First time ever showing or...

I thought he looked a bit low in the pit. Thats a 21st Century pilot where as the Revell blob monster is much larger. Sadly he's already bonded in quite well, IF I can knock him lose he'll get a booster seat lol :stinker

yeah its one less thing to rebuild, lol

If it were lowered absolutely, since its retracted no one'll see it :silly:

OMG want those so badly in 1/32 scale.

some other shots not posted, are in here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/shawnmanny/sets/72157645587290775/

Thanks guys! Lots of work ahead still. Although you can see the seams in some shots, they are CA filled and polished perfectly smooth. Next challenge is the exhaust. Since I built it sans motor I need to make a support for each bank to position it correctly in the openings. Then...I get to...
