Greetings Virus Lockdown continues to force me into the man-Cave. We Suffer so. Completed a couple days ago. Added some Seatbelts and a little cockpit enhancements just for effect. I used Uschi Metal powders for the exhaust portions. Also added a Master Brass Pitot. Always astounded at the finesse of Master Products. So I really like the photos and the Black background allowed my to keep the scale in my Pocket. One American Dime for scale effects. This is the Revell 1/144 Tornado and this was a really nice model to build. I do have to say the 90+ decals were a pain ,however they settled and aligned perfectly...Well Done Revell Thanks for looking Comments are Always Welcome Cheers Bill

Wow. Great looking finish but I just noticed how large that tail looks. Must have been some serious Torque. Also the Before and After on the wash really shows your effect...NICE Cheers Bill

Absolutely Amazing 🤗 Bill

Greetings All Here is my finished VMA 211 Wake Island Avenger. I had to install the gun pods as a Marine Aircraft without weapons seemed "Unnatural". This is probably my final aircraft for this collection. I have 7 Aircraft from the Wildcat thru the F-35 in collection. This is the Hasagawa kit with Super Scale decals,Resin Seat,Resin Exhaust vents, and Flying Leatherneck Det.- Cord. Two tone gray scheme with true Marine Tail.I used Gunze paints for colors and GX 100 clear for decal base and Mr Hobby Matt for final finish Last addition was the Resin FOD covers. The Hasegawa intake has too many issue to be left open and I like a little more colors these add to the aircraft. Thanks for Looking Comments Welcome Cheers Bill

Thanks Guys for Positive feedback. Cheers Bill

Thank You all for the positive feed back. Cheers Bill

Here is a bit of information for the decals.... Speed Hunter Graphics | No. 48018 | 1:48 just Google and up comes some distributors..also in Scalemates. Cheers Bill

Thank You. The inside armaments are actually the Napalm tanks that come with the Monogram kit. They really looked like the load out from internet photos so Travel pods they are.😊😊😊 Thanks again

Greetings This is my Monogram kit built as an A-10C with some antennas scratch-built and Eduard photo-etched interior. I used a Black Box resin Interior for some of the upgrade such as the seat and the canopy raising components. The Decals were from reidairpublishing and they were really good. No silvering ,handled great and settled down really well. Stripes, as on all D-Day markings, were a bit of a challenge. Gunze Olive drab and Vallejo Grey, Clear coated with GX 100 and Semi-Gloss final with decanted Mr. Hobby Semi-Gloss. 43 Grams (Yes metric for an American) nose weight for correct stance. Master nose gun and Pitot were absolutely stunning. Thanks for Looking Comments Always Welcome Cheers Bill

Thanks again for all the Positive feedback. I have a few Hartman Bf-109 models in my stash and I assure you they will not be "Clean. Cheers Bill

I used the “Shiny Aluminum”as the base coat. I say Shiny because the label was destroyed but that was in the title. I added. Different panels to this base color. Thanks for the compliments Bill

Thanks All I think the “Fresh Natural Metal “is a good representation of Eric Hartmann,s F-86. I am sure it’s not a duplicate of the actual weathering, but it is a representation I like for this pilot. cheers All Bill

Thanks all for the positive feedback Cheers Bill

Thank You all for the kind words. I am a huge Hartmann fan and will continue to build his aircraft in numerous Scales. This aircraft is my best F-86 completion.(to date 😃). Cheers All Thanks Again Bill

Another Virus Completion. This is the Hobbycraft kit and I built in mostly out of box. I added a few "Sugar scoops" and added a few fuselage vents that were not handled well by the basic kit. Painted with Alcad over decanted Tamiya Gloss Black. My go-to method for natural metal. NOTE..Im not big on real dirty aircraft especially a Pilot like Hartmann. Finding the markings for this aircraft was a bit of a challenge but I ended up using Peddinghaus decals. I would have to say they required a bit of effort and the photos are very forgiving. I had to cut each decal very close to the detail as the clear was not as thin as I needed for Natural Metal. Also the white trim is very hard to see as you try to trim the decals close. They settled down very nice with Solvaset. This is my 3rd attempt at this aircraft and I will be ok with this one. My grandson is flying the last one around the house. Thanks for taking the time to look. Comments always welcome Cheers Bill

Thanks All for the kind words cheers Bill

Thanks Guys I Used Alclad Polished Aluminum over Gloss Black for the tanks...Trying to simulate unpainted Fuel tanks. Cheers Bill

Greetings This is another Virus build. I have come to really Like these Special Hobby releases. This one is mostly out of box. (Except FOD Insert) and Replacement Pitot Tubes. Used wine seal material for seatbelts. 1/72nd Super Mystere modified in 70's. Yom Kippur war markings. (Why Camouflage??) I Used Vallejo Paints out of Israeli Box set, Clear coated in Future and Flat coated with decanted Testors Dullcoat Trying a Black Background for photos just to see effects...Looking for Feedback on this Please. Kit decals were absolute fantastic. Easy to handle, settled well with Solvaset and no color feedthrough. Uschi Steel powder for exhaust area. Thanks for Looking Feedback appreciated Regards Bill

Thanks for all positive feedback. I did repaint the crowbar interior green. cheers Bill

Completed this kit Out of Box. Including Kit decals which are Great. This is a Very nice kit and would recommend to modelers. Xtracrylics , Future and Gunze Lower Grey. Overcoated with Testors decanted Dullcoat. IFF Antenna is from Smoke colored Invisible thread pulled tight in Fuselage. Pretty hard to see in Photos First time using hairspray technique for wing root wear. I was very modest in wear. Sepia filter to try and emulate WW II style Forgot to add I did have to add a bit of material to let the rear glass sit correctly. About 1mm height. Thanks for Looking and Comments Always welcome Cheers Bill

Many Thanks to all who have posted. If I run across another Prop somehow, I ll replace with correct angles. Cheers Bill
