[Airfix 1/72 P-51 Mustang - Red Tails, Lollipoop]

Nice looking Mustang.  It looks like the red tail and nose fought you a bit, but you pulled it through.  Thanks for sharing.

[A6M3 Model 32 Hamp Tamiya 1/72]

A really good build of a beat up Zero.  Thanks for sharing.

[Novo 1/72 Fairey Firefly]

Now the name Novo and kit builds rarely comes together these days.  You did really well with these old kits as both Fireflies look great.  Which one are you keeping?  Thanks for sharing both.

["Riding My First Mustang" -- 1/48 Eduard Mustang Mk. IV]

For the first attempt at NMF you did just excellent and way better than anything I did for the first 10 attempts I tried to do that type of finish.  Your Mustang looks great.  Eduard kits, in my own experience, have one basic design flaw in that they are not forgiving.  If one step in the build process gets a bit off, then the rest of the build is a struggle.  Perfect fit is necessary for all of the steps to insure the future ones work.  Zoukei-Mura kits are the same way.  Even though I would not consider Eduard a short run kit these days, I still treat them as such as test fitting 3 times before glue is applied is my rule.  I'm glad you persevered with this kit and it turned out really nice.  My go to decal solutions are always Micro Sol and Micro Set.  I seem to be unable to screw up decals with these solutions and they work really well for me.  (I need all the help I can to complete models.)  Just keep plugging and I look forward to your Thunderbolt build.  Thanks for sharing.

[1/48 Hobbycraft Bell YP-59A-BE Airacomet RJ362/G]

Not really used to seeing the Airacomet in British livery, but it does look nice.  I'm glad you got the Hobbycraft kit to go together well as I have had some problems doing mine in the past.  Just looks great.  Thanks for sharing.

[Polikarpov I 16 Type 5. Belarusian Military District 1936. Kit Clear Prop. 1/72]

A very nice companion to your 88.  Looks good.  Thanks for sharing.

[Bristol Type 130 "Bombay" (1/72 Valom kit)]

Great looking finished kit of an aircraft I really wasn't familiar with.  The concept aircraft you created is quite interesting also.  Thanks for sharing both.

[Junkers Ju 88 S3 3/Kg 66 France 1944. Kit AMT ertl in 1/72]

You did a fine job with the brush painting for the squiggle/dot camo scheme on this aircraft.  Really nice looking 88.  Thanks for sharing.

[1/48 Spitfire Mk.V Dual Combo, Eduard]

Again, you have shown how well you can build and finish kits.  Both are beautiful Spitfires done great.  On the shark mouth, does the decal wrap around the air filter intake?  From the angle of the picture, it looks like it completely covers the opening.  Thanks for sharing both of these beauties.

[Messerschmitt Bf109V1 MPM 1/72]

Great blast from the past from you Mr. B.  Sometimes it is a delight to see old builds pop up out of nowhere to just look at how good models have been built on this forum for a long time.  It doesn't have to be the new wunderkit or include every known piece of aftermarket for a great model to be built, finished and displayed.  This is one of those builds and kits.  Thanks for sharing this again.

[Northrop A-17, RCAF Nomad Mk.1 TT]

Fantastic job on doing what I think is the hardest paint color to pull off, yellow.  Looks great.  Thanks for sharing.

[Airfix 1/72 Spitfire Vc]

Great looking Spitfire.  Keep posting your builds and thanks for sharing.

[175 Squadron Hurribomber (Revell IIB)]

Just an exquisitely built Hurribomber.  The application of the parachute on the wing and the artistic use of the base and background just tell a story and enhance your excellent build.  The background story is also appreciated.  Thanks for sharing it all.

[1/72 Eduard Early F6F-3, 1/72 Academy Mid F6F-3, 1/72 Eduard F6F-5 Hellcat and Tamiya 1/72 F4U-1D Build]

Great beginnings of a aircraft carrier's air deployment wing.  All are done so well.  Thanks for sharing them all.

[Savoia Marchetti SM 55 A, Flotila de Hidroavioane RRNA, Constanza, 1942-3, Dora Wings (1/72)]

That is a unique design and aircraft I have never seen built before.  Had to research it a bit after I saw your beautifully built and finished kit.  I'm guessing the pilot and co-pilot had hearing issues later on in life with the two engines fixed directly above their head.  Thanks for sharing this unusual bird.

[Ki-43-II `Oscar`, Kashiwabara Air Base, Horomushiro Island, 1944]

The build and finish of this kit is just excellent.  The photography and setting of the pictures make the presentation just pop out.  Just overall fun to look at.  Thanks for sharing.

[British Airways Fairey Rotodyne! Airfix 1/72]

You took this old kit and breathed new life into it with your "What If" presentation, which in and of itself, is brilliant.  Thanks for sharing this great looking build.

[Handley Page Heyford 1/72nd scale]

What a cool interwar aircraft you have built.  Just looks fantastic.  Thanks for sharing.

[P-47D Thunderbolt (USAAF 1st Air Commando Group, Asansol AB, India, 1944)]

Good looking Thunderbolt and very well done portraying the actual aircraft.  Thanks for sharing.

[PV-1 Ventura, Aleutian Islands, 1943]

I am glad this thread resurfaced as I missed these two beauties when they first were posted and that is a shame.  Both are done so well, especially when you consider they are brush painted.  Just really little pieces of art.  Thanks for letting this go around again.

[Hong Kong Models 1/48 Mitchell B-25J]

Great looking Mitchell and the olive drab looks correct in the photos.  Don't worry.  Just a wonderful build and finish.  Thanks for sharing.

[Fw200V3 "Immelman III", Roden 1/144]

As always a gem of a build and wonderfully applied finishes to your small scale kits that look like they are from a much bigger scale.  Both of the kits are just so well done.  Thanks for sharing.

[Dornier Do17Z-2 Airfix 1/72]

Great looking Dornier.  Really like how you have done the camo so well.  Next to the older version, it seems as if they were kits from two different manufacturers in slightly different scales.  Thanks for sharing.

[P-51B question]

First, I am jealous you have received the Royal set as I am still waiting on mine to arrive.  Second, my two cents/pence, I would treat the wings on the B as you would the wings on a D model.  Third, the statement by the Eduard CEO regarding visible panel lines and the stance that the wings were puttied are both true.  If the wing was only partially puttied over, as most sources agree, then the unputtied wing area would have panel lines.  Fourth, I am still jealous.

[Dragon P-38 in 1/72]

Great fight that you won with a unanimous decision.  Beautifully built and finished Lightning.  Thanks for sharing.
