Ahoy Here is another collection of my card model airforce. This a kit frojm Maly modelarz in the scale of 1/33 made from paper and cardstock and wood. The aircraft is the infamous TBD at Midway. Being obsolete by the beginning of the was we had no choice to use this aircraft because its all we had at the time, right after the battle of Midway the TBD was striken from naval register and replaced with the more moderized TBF Avenger, although at midway only a small portion of the fleet had these aircraft and they suffered the same results as the infamous TBD.

Ahoy Here is another collection of my flyingboats, I built this 40 years ago, built from an old Sutcliff Vacuform kit. the company is no longer in buisness been out of buyisness for a loing time 1971 was their last production .this truely is hair puller kit to build not a novis kit for certain. Instead of useing the kits formers and wingspars and ribs I filled the intire model with sears filled epoxie sanded down well to make the mateing of the parts to fit in the scale of 1/72 it makes a great companion to the airfix 1/72 short sunderland flyingboat. I just learned an plastic ejection molded kit from Mach 2 has released this aircraft in the same scale pretty expensive I wished they would have produced this kit 40 years ago . Here she is Boats

Ahoy Here is another of my collections that I dug up I had this one boxed up for 9 years and it was built 9 years ago. this isa the 1/722nd scale Boeing 377 Stratocruiser the silver fleet. Inly wished I could turn back the hands of time into painting the white upper decking and the rest polished Aluminum. I coverd the plane with kitchen foil applied with contac cement. the contac cement was duluted down with acetone. thisd was an expensive beast $50.00 9 years ago nowdays if they even make this anymore prabaly would be $ 100.00 with todays economy. here she is. boats
