WnW lead designer goes 1/144 with new company - Beacon Models
Harold55 replied to Putty Animal's topic in The Rumourmonger
Squadron did this a number of years ago and called it "Fast Frames" and it was not 100% effective. Was hard to get them to stick at the edges as they were pre-cut from some kind of vinyl. If it were pre-cut on kabuki tape it would stick great and conform to curves but the finish is not smooth. But the idea I think is good. -
I wish the had a distribution site in the US that would allow them to offer the same deal on free shipping from their web site.

Hasegawa 1/48th F-15A Eagle 'ASAT' - Hi-Grade Series
Harold55 replied to Peter W's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
Fantastic job you have done and the ASAT program is very interesting. -
First off I want to welcome you back to the hobby! Your first effort on returning is just fantastic! I have seen a number of natural metal US bombers in museums and the finish looks spot on. And I like your choice of this scheme as it really shows off the plane a bit better than than the latter camo schemes. I am looking forward to seeing a B-36 from you and might I also suggest a B-58 hustler to go with the stack. BTW, you are going to need more room for what I am hoping will be an ever expanding collection. Thanks for posting.

Siemens Schuckert SSW DDr1 scratch build
Harold55 replied to pheonix's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
This is an amazing accomplishment! Looks great and now I am tempted to try and find that resin job in 1/48. I greatly admire bi-planes in 1/72 but they are beyond my vision to rig at that scale (even with the head gear). -
Eduard Weekend 1/48 Hanriot HD.2
Harold55 replied to ProfSparks's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I did the weekend edition of the wheeled version and found it to be a great kit. You model has me on the hunt now for the float plane version to keep it company. Yours came out beautifully. -
This is a gorgeously finished plane!

Javelin FAW.9 XH897 A&AEE 1/48 Airfix
Harold55 replied to petetasker's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
This is one beautiful Javelin. I have never seen this scheme before and it looks marvelous. -
Well I for one wish the the best! The castings look great and depending on the price it would be nice to see it distributed wider.
-
This really looks great. I love how you varied the color slightly between individual panels, it really came out looking realistic.

SEPTEMBER FURY fisher model 1/32
Harold55 replied to red baron 5's topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I've got the same question on how you got that finish (decal/paint) and have to say this is one gorgeous model. -
Inspired by a good read BEA DC3 AIRFIX 1/72

What a beautiful plane you have here, a centerpiece of any collection!
