Mark Harmsworth Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat - Hobby Boss 1:48 Extras were Airscale instrument and placard decals, Eduard steel seat belts, vac canopy so I could have it open, plus brass rod to support the wings, brass tube for the guns / blast tubes and plenty of putty and styrene bits to fill the seams. It brightens up the cabinet. Republic P-47D Thunderbolt razorback - Tamiya1:48 This was just great. Extras were Yahu instrument panel and decals from a Barracudacals set. There's a sad story for this one which you can see here: US Airfield Fuel Truck - Tamiya 1:48 While I was working on the Thunderbolt I came across this picture from the IWM. That inspired me to build the Tamiya Fuel Truck with its' figures and to have a go at that scene - without that chap 'relaxing' against the far main wheel! de Havilland Hornet F. Mk3 - Frog 1:72 A really old kit with almost no detail. Reminded me how far this hobby has come - I enjoyed the build though. Airfield Control Tower - Airfix 1:72 I had a lot of fun building this. The kit is originally from 1959, and is sadly almost impossible to find now, but I was lucky and found one second hand. Extras were a p.e. fittings set from Flightpath (mainly to replace doors and windows), the posters, newspapers, noticeboards etc are from Sankey and I got some wooden furniture from a model railway supplier. And a few comfy chairs of course! The figures are from CMK and PJ Productions. There's more pics here: That's all folks. Mark 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jfgred1 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I thought you were going to "make" the Hornet to buzz the tower... . Really liked the busy tables inside the tower building. Nice. And of course the rest of it is also very good. Thanks for sharing. Please, keep them coming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
