Ok after a self-induced time away from GB’s I’m back feeling nice and fresh and ready to go hard or go home........something like that would make a great GB title/idea! This is my first planned GB/STGB for the year out of probably 3 I’ll be doing this year....have too of other projects planned! Ok for this build I plan to take one of the finest 1/32nd Mustang models ever released.....throw away most of it!!!! 😱 Then mix some of the best resin porn of the market to build this! (There are a few people here an in my local club to blame for this! ) Halberd Models Cavalier Turbo Mustang III! .....and yes it is resin porn taken to 11! I’ve built a lot of resin models and I can easily say this is some one the best resin cast models I’ve ever seen, I think equal to anything Fisher Model and Pattern did. I’ve spent plenty of time fondling all these goodies, the fuselage is cast in two pieces that are the same thickness as the Tamiya ones!!! There is not a lot to the conversion kit but it’s all moulded perfectly. The instructions are nice an clear and easy to understand, just some basic decals, the actual aircraft had none other than these. Only one scheme and I really do like SEA camo schemes. Unfortunately the conversion kit requires an awesome donor model!!!!! Most of this will not be used, not to sure what I’ll do with the leftovers! Am looking forward to this build to get back into the groove....not that I haven’t been really busy......currently on the work bench,1/48th IDF RF-4E(S) “Peace Jack”, Su-27UB, RF-111C (with all the new correction bits), plus some other mystery builds. Plus this lovely bit of resin porn finally arrived the other day....... JetMADS 1/32nd AJ-37 Viggen!

Hello everyone … I had to bow out of this and another build earlier this year due to two reasons. One my health was giving me issue’s and two I needed to figure out how I was going to make the Civil registration numbers. Well I think I can get this and my South African Mirage F.1cz done in KUTA this year. Please feel free to ask questioms, post comments or add thoughts. Dennis

Ok first one off the blocks.... This was a very late decision for me and not what was originally planned. But Ii just loved the look of it and it was quite different...my kind of build! The base model will be a 1/48 Tamiya P-51D like the picture of the box below.........hmm the actual model hasn’t arrived yet! The conversion is 1/48 Heritage Models Cavalier Turbo Mustang III kit which looks to be a nice conversion, accuracy...will have to look at some drawings! Just have to chop the nose and under radiator off glue in the resiny bits and thats it.....simple! White metally bits Some clear and resiny bits Hmm I wonder what colour scheme I’ll choose??? Decals..........just two! Hopefully this will be a nice simple and quick build.....may even get the A-36 out!
