corsaircorp Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Hello Dears, Did I have mentionned this building ?? The Monogram Dash F has been started in 1988 or so.. Will search where the Bushmasters are stationned at the time, but I think it was Bentwaters... I read a book about the projected nuke war, they told about the Squadron, There was a Mk 7 nuke for each bridge of the Vistule river, would have 3 or 4 eyed fish For god's sake they both stayed quiet or almost, no mushrooms Modifications on the pylon for the Mk 7 The Tamiya one is a more recent start, 6 or 7 years ago I think. She is retro modified, from a dash G to a dash E. Goog kit, I used parts from the Verlinden kit, this kit is just a copy from the original parts, there is a slight difference, almost not noticeable. And some parts from a Heller X-kit, so I believe resin parts are from Renaissance.Don't Know, More to come soon. Thank for watching. Sincerely.

corsaircorp Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Yep, the Bushmasters from 78th FBS were at Woodbridge but since they used the A-10 At the time of the F-84F they were stationned et Shepherds Grove. The F-84 will represent a very special Aircraft from Fursti !! See you later. Sincerely. Corsaircorp 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 (edited) Great work so far CC. Id love to get a hold of an old Monogram thunderstreak I love building those. The last one i started 25 yrs ago the nose melted when i added to much C/A around the BB’s i was using for weight. Still have a great decal set waiting for one.

And the Heller one will represent the A/C of a friend of mine that has destroyed the Caire metropolitan in 1956 Sincerely. CC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hello Dears, When I look to my painting skill back in 1988, it was not too bad... I was about to make it again but finally no ! I'll let it that way as a souvenir ! Then I bored the gun slots and add syringe needles in it Let me know what do you think about... My problem is about the decals, it date from 1988 at least and I fear that they should possibly dilute when I will drench it in the water... So, I hear that coating the decals with artist varnish for paper can save the decals.. Did anyone of you have tested it ?? I really like the Bushmaster paint scheme and I did'nt find it in the aftermarket... Have a great modelling time ! Sincerely. CC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hello cousin ... The monogram decals should still be good if they were stored properly ? I've used bits off my last monogram “bushmasters” sheet for fill ins here and there over the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob Lyttle Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi, CC. Now don't go rushing this build. Take it steady.... Slow up a bit. I've been using ancient Monogram decals on the P40B, and they were OK. Better than OK. I found that they didn't want to slide. They released from the paper but I needed to slide a cocktail stick under the carrier and ease it away from the backing to get it moving. But the decal itself is sound, flexible and tough enough to take the extra handling. I used decalfix just in case, as I wanted to rub them back to get the raised panel lines showing through, a bit battle-weary. I love the little straight wing F84 style. Recently did the little Hobbyboss Easy build, for a bit of foil practice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corsaircorp Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hello Dears ! Since I finished a Spitfire, I was in need of something else... The 2 Rocs are on their way... So, I used the resin parts as a template for improving the Tamiya parts !! Creating a switchbox And cutting the ones that will not be seen and used... I already know a place for these switchboxes !! It will be more visible and extra usefull, now I added some ballast Since I modified the kit, I fear that the ball may not be sufficient ! My created Throttle lever look more realistic than the resin one methink ! and I worked on the huge seam in the nose wheel well ! More Thunder coming... Both in this thread and IRL.... Take care and have a good modelling time. Sincerely. CC 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
