  1. This is Arma's New P-39Q which went together with no real issues. Hopefully I've solved my image linking problem. -Dan
  2. Me too, but I can't get them to load. Will probably delete this until I can figure it out. -Dan
  3. Not a bad year! Lots of Arma Hobby and Airfix on the list. First done was this Roden British Pattern 1920 Mk. II Armored Car… Then the fantastic Arma Hobby P-51c… I always love Dekno’s resin kits, this is the Howard DGA 15… The P-51 got me going on an 8th Air Force kick, this is an Academy P-47D… Once in a while it’s fun to see what I can do with an oldie, this is Airfix’s H.P. Hampden… Another Arma Hobby Mustang… I like to do the occassional armor kit, this is UM’s Panzer IIIN… A new kit from Dekno last year was the Travel Air 6000… Another P-47D, this time the Hasegawa kit… Back to Dekno to do one from the stash, the Marcoux-Bromberg racer… IBG’s Lancia 3ro was next… Arma Hobby has another winner with their Ki-84 Hayate… I used some old Microscale decals on an Airfix P-51D to do Claude Crenshaw’s “Louisiana Heat Wave”… Another Airfix P-51D with markings I’ve wanted to do for a long time… Here’s Airfix’s Spitfire Vc in Aussie Clive Caldwell’s markings… Pavla’s Westland Whirlwind was a bit of a challenge.. Had to do some Luftwaffe to go with the 8th A.F. stuff, this is Airfix’s FW-190… Back to Arma Hobby and their Yak 1b… Another oldie that took a bit of work, Airfix’s Fairey Firefly Mk. V… This is a Trumpeter M4A3 Sherman… Academy’s FW-190 A-8… ICM’s Bf-109e… And finally, Italeri’s Spitfire Vb in Ian Gleed’s markings… Thanks for looking at all that! -Dan
  4. Japanese aircraft aren't my forte but I've become a bit of an Arma Hobby fan so I had to get their new Hayate and have a go at it. The kit is on par with their other recent releases and goes together with no problems. I kept weathering to a minimum, basically just a light wash on the panel lines to make them stand out and some light scuffing on the wing root below the cockpit. I think I may have made a mistake in painting the rollover structure the same interior green as the rest of the cockpit, I think now it should have been black. The green propeller was news to me but apparently some were that color later in the war. Always fun to learn and build something new! -Dan
  5. I've built quite a few Dekno kits over the years and have never had problems like pinholes or bubbles in the resin he uses. Never any real issues with casting other than a few spots that might need a bit of filling and sanding. The 3D printed parts in this kit were a huge step up compared to small parts which would have been cast in resin in the past, they are finer, stronger and much more detailed. -Dan
  6. Here's my effort on one of Dekno's latest kits, the 1/72 Travel Air 6000B. The 3D-printed parts in this kit are very nicely done! -Dan
  7. This is my second build of this excellent kit and I enjoyed it as much as the first. I went with the standard canopy and the OD over gray scheme of 4th FG ace Nicholas "Cowboy" Megura. -Dan
  8. I wasn't sure about those large panels either and almost didn't use them. But once painted, given a dark wash and dry brushed with a light color, they looked much better and to be honest they look pretty neat in there with the light from the skylight on them. -Dan
  9. I just recently completed the old Airfix kit of the Hampden with most of an Airwaves PE interior installed. The PE parts really help with an otherwise bare interior. Falcon vac transparencies were used except for the nose, the Airfix part was used there after all the framing was sanded off. I also sanded down the exterior rivets until just a hint of them remained. Markings are for a 408 Sqn. RCAF machine, summer 1941. Thanks for looking! -Dan
  10. I should shoot myself for not getting 2 or 3 of these kits when I had the chance! -Dan
  11. I've built Arma's Hurricane Mk. 1, F4F-4, and now the Mustang and I think they might now be my favorite manufacturer. -Dan
  12. Thank you all! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot more of these showing up here in the future. -Dan
