Convair

Hey, the Russian Martin Mariner. It's a nice Be-6 model, congratulations!

Very very nice. It could be a spaceship too 😁.

Very nice model! And its payload is more correct than the one I used...😁

A 1/80 B-58 instead?

Where did that beautiful W9293 go ?? 😉

Thank you guys, I appreciate very much your attention. I already have (in paper) this C-124 book. Believe me, for a good (or at least acceptable) representation of the lift "in plastic", even in 1/72 scale, the photos/drawings of the lift mechanism need to be more detailed. It would be ideal the "erection and maintenance instructions" of the C-124 (just as there are the "erection and maintenance" manuals of the B-17, C-47, etc.), at least showing the part relating to the lift.

Yes, but it would be nice a new 1/72 scale tooling (the original was 1/76).

Very nice RF-F, but W9293 "stole the scene" 🙂

Thank you Dennis, it's a start. Cheers!

Does anyone have (schematic) pictures / drawings showing how the Douglas C-124 Globemaster II belly lift works? I have an Airmodel kit of this plane, and I would like to build it with the lift lowered (so the cables / rails / chains / mechanisms / whatever that moves the lift will be visible). It would be very pretense to want to build the elevator actually having movement, in 1/72 scale, but if I can ... 🤔. Searching on Google, I found some relevant information, but I need more images (for modeling purposes, showing the visible details, including the parts inside the fuselage). Please, can anyone help me?

This could come back, in 1/72...

Very nice, congratulations! The cut out step in the right inboard flap is a charm.

Very nice!

It seems made of aluminum. Impressive model!

Yes, now that you mentioned it, it looks like the BV 142 from Mach 2. The only other manufacturer of 1/72 BV 142 is Airmodel, but it is a vaccum-forming kit.

A beauty. Very good.

I like movable parts. All my models have spinning propellers and movable gun turrets (obviously, those which are not jets ). When possible, I install rotating wheels and movable rudders. I do not mind retractable undercarriages and folding wings, (also) because I have no skills to assemble them so they work "forever", without breaking. So I glue them "hard" without movement. Old kits (and some new ones) have movable control surfaces, but the gap between the wing and said surfaces is too big and unrealistic, so I do not care about them either. Nowadays I glue them in place, without the gap.

A great model, very inspirational. I have an old Heller T.4 that I would like to finish (some day... 🙂).

Very good quintet. Now it's just missing a Ki-100-II model 😊...

Very nice model. Now I want one too, with this same painting scheme.

An aircraft that is rarely modeled. In fact I had never seen a model of the Greyhound. Congratulations!

Very cool pair of "Forgers". I liked the "79" (blue) more, but the "25" (grey and green) is spectacular too. The Kamov is also very nice.

Very nice!

Ah, the QP-D with the red contoured nose, but the FT-L with that cool eagle... I can't decide (again) which model I like best. Very good!

Very cool model!
