giemme Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Fantastic work! Gene's placement is spot on, nice one! What's the plan next? Is it going to take a proud spot in a display cabinet?! Cheers Danny, thanks! Next I'm going to take some RFI pics, then into the display cabinet. It's sure going to be a proud spot, but the entire cabinet is in my garage, I'm not allowed to keep it in the house ... ... so not that proud, after all :D Ciao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene K Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 As I told Giorgio in one of many emails between us, he's the Michelangelo of 1/72! And as everyone has said, this has been a stunning build, to say the least. Thanks for including me, Giorgio, it's been a wonderful ride. Gene K P.S. That Spook patch is the one I painted for the Sharkbait hootch area (the Quonset huts we lived/played in at Cam Rahn). If anyone is interested in Cam Rahn Bay photos, this is a good starting place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's in the crew van getting a new "remove before flight" tag to replace the worn-out one he just pulled. It's parked around the corner of the revetment.

Gene K Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Almost all of the photos that I posted in this thread were linked from my PhotoBucket account ... and they are now gone because PhotoBucket suddenly and ungraciously banned "third party hosting" ... unless users pay $400 annually.Very frustrating that a greedy company can get away with such egregious extortion merely by abruptly changing their Terms of Service. Hard to imagine how much grief Photobucket has caused worldwide with their (expletive) unconscionable money grab. Gene K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted July 1, 2017 Author Share Posted July 1, 2017 Disappointing to say the least - not wanting to use anglo-saxon words I moved to Flickr long time ago - I'm glad I did Ciao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
