It IS very nice - the pic of the OS2U was a knock out.

Ooooops! Here it is: http://www.planeaday.com/

And didnt airships have machine gun nests atop and fighter cover, too? Hadda be of any use only at night, I'd think.... when they worked at all.

I think you had it right about too much time on your hands. Made clever use of it, though. More cowbell - more cowbell.

Well it turned out alright, eh? Any bobbles are only in your mind - I think it looks just like the real thing. I had that kit and sold it recently, during the 'Raised Line Stash Clearance'. As the name implies, I got rid of all kits that did not have engraved panel lines. I had utterly had it with trying to rescribe panel lines, when I hit on the idea of selling off those that had the raised variety. That is now my main selection criteria after subject. This Airfix Hurri was one of those to go. You've done a cracking job with yours.

Sorry, I only meant that it was an unique way to describe being broke... Well if it matters, I think your artwork is very nice. If I wasnt dealing with my own 'localised austerity', I'd be pleased to buy some.

You are right - it makes no sense. But 20mm wargame figures fall in the realm of 1/72, while yours are more like 1/61. Weird. But neat.

Turned this up while nosing about the 'net for Sea Fury pics. Just what the name says - A Plane A Day. I put it in my home pages.

Seems hard to turn out a bad one, from what I see.

"Localised austerity measures" - - well, if nothing else that is funny.

Really neat - a two-shot, Derringer boat! Id love to have one of these.

Cool!

Those card kits are neat. Google Fiddlers Green... they got tons of 'em

I like the rib tape detail. This aircraft had a pleasing line to it, dinnit? SO what, they flew over the Zeppelin and dropped things on it?

Neat idea, really. Can we see the card?

1/72 scale is the same as 28mm?

Im agog over the tan interior color. I did the old ARII Tony sometime back, before I knew anything ( ) and I just slogged on grey paint. I was an actual model builder back then and didn't hold up production for anything as mundane as correct interior colors. I also didnt have the internet, yet.

I am in awe. What a really great effort - nice looking kit, too. What will be the all in cost?

Gonna look awesome!

I recall reading Chuck Yeager liked the F-20 more than any other plane he'd flown. The problem with the F-20 was twofold, as I recall. The airframe itself was stretched to it's limit, even though the engine upgrade really made it shine. The legs were just too short to really be of use on rough airfields and the versatility in load-out wasn't there. Indeed, it had never been a real general purpose workhorse, for all it's good qualities. Essentially, nothing more could be squeezed from it, when everyone wanted a new compromise... Meanwhile, the F-16 was coming on - and being heavily promoted by the U.S. war conglomerates. Northrop's entry could compete with the Falcon on most levels and even surpassed it in some arenas. For example, I seem to remember that it could get spun up and airborne, radar hot and ready to fight, while the F-16 was still rolling out. But it just wasn't capable of toting enough goodies aloft from marginal support bases and by a stroke of bad luck, it used the same engine as the Falcon... so it was left to languish. At least thats what I think I remember!

That has to be the most hideous thing I've ever seen! Alright that is a joke - it is bloody miraculous. I simply must get one of those Tamiya kits. Bye-bye Academy Jug!

I had that little kit once - I put it on ebay right off! Such a teensy thing for me to fiddle with. Youve done a great job of it.

You have done a great job on that! I love the lines of the MiG-3; it just looks fast and sharp. Your weathering treatment and the silver doped look to the surfaces really sets it apart as somethign different. They are also totally in keeping with what one might see on the REAL aircraft. Way to go!

Youve done a great job, Artur. I think it looks cracking. Pity about the blue undersides, though. Well, anyway, great job and only WE will know, eh?

Been hoping too see one of these for many a year. Trumpy comes through.
