Thanks for the review Mike. Brought back memories of Nigel Heath's build. And, the comments answered my other question of whether the Revell kit and the Airfix kit were the same. Guess not. Always like your well presented reviews.

I was checking the kit reviews today and saw the one from Mike about the Rotodyne kit reissue from AIrfix. That brought back memories of the build Nigel did in what was more than 10 years ago, but really doesn't seem that far away. I then get to the end of the review and there is a comment from you about you building the same kit. (Of course I have this in my stash and someday I will try to pay tribute to Nigel's build with my own.) However, your build is a bit different from the normal build of this kit. I like what you are trying to do here and even though I cannot get the concept pictured as a whole in my mind of what the finished product may be, it is interesting to watch your progress. I am always amazed at how you can view things that seem totally random and without association and make them go together. The bits of a pod racer, the cockpits parts from a P-61, the fuselage of a Rotodyne, the radome of an Apache; not something most people would go "Those seem like they should fit cohesively together." Look forward to more of your installments and the finished product.

Really well done model in both the build and the finish of this Polish bomber. Looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing. -
CORSAIR RESPECT: F4U-1 Birdcage, Tamiya 1/48
georgeusa replied to GStreet's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
First, just a really great build and superlative finish of this Corsair. Your painting and weathering skills are very high. If you want to dive into using washes, you might try some water based ones first before moving onto oils or enamels. With the water based (I prefer Flory washes) you lather them on, wait a few minutes and then remover whatever level you want with a slightly damp paper towel or cotton swab. If you goof, take a very wet paper towel to the surface and just start over.- 16 replies

Kittyhawk MK I, Special Hobby 1/72 (RFI).
georgeusa replied to Andrés S.'s topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
A very well worn P-40 in British desert livery; what's not to like? Just a great job on the paint and weathering. Thanks for sharing. -

Great looking Mustang. From the finished work, you cannot tell it gave you any problems. Nicely done. Thanks for sharing. -
Bristol Beaufighter Mark TF.X
georgeusa replied to Tomcat101's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
This is a very novel concept to cover multiple schemes with one model. For the larger scale kits, this seems like a no brainer. I might have to use this on a few of the 1/32 kits I have to build that I cannot chose between schemes, but don't really want 5 large scale kits taking up that much space. Very imaginative and very well done. Thanks for sharing. -
Just an jaw dropping diorama. There is so much going on in this one scene. And, added to that the very small scale isn't so apparent due to all the detail you put into it. Thanks for sharing it.

Just amazing at the detail you get out of these 1/144 kits. From the photos, I would swear the scale is much larger. Great looking Spitfire. Thanks for sharing.- 1 reply

georgeusa replied to MaltaGC's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
My first impression was the black and white photo was a reference photo for your build; it is that well done. Just a great representation. Thanks for sharing. -
Nakajima G8N Renzan (Rita) 1/72
georgeusa replied to kalle's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Great looking Renzan. I have one of these lurking around in the shelf of doom and another sorta Japanese "46" boxings. What you have done with this old kit is remarkable, especially in finishing it in the dreaded to do yellow color. Just a great looking finished kit. Thanks for sharing. -
Good looking Mustang in British livery. Another fine addition to your collection. Thanks for sharing.
