Been gone for a while. Cant believe the changes.
I've been out of the hobby for a while, spent the last few years fighting the Air Force, the VA, and now Social Security, but I have finally prevailed and finally opened the box my planes, vehicles and figs are in. I cannot wait to get some new things. Geez, is 21C stuff still available other than E...

Thats what first caught my eye. It looks like a finely detailed diecast miniature. Simply beautiful work. Anyways, I figured it would fuel a few imaginations and innovations from some of the more gifted customizer here, (and make the un-gifted, such as myself push ourselves a bit harder). Besides, i...

Call yourself what you want, In my opinion you are an damned talented artist. That Corsair is awesome.
I got as far as tearing apart my 21C Mustang and got stuck.
I wish I had your talent.
Please continue to share!

Its Project Blue Book!
Anyone remember that series? It was Air Force themed, two officers investigating UFO sightings from the 50's, 60's & 70's. The Air Force supposedly chased a few UFO's during that time. Even lost a pilot once, he was flying a P-51 so........ A Project Blue Book Repaint P-51? An ADC F-102 or 106. But ...

If you look at many of the early nuclear bombers & fighter/bombers of the 50's & 60's you will find that white "anti-radiation" or "anti-flash" paint on the undersides of the a/c. Buffs had it, and even the British "V" series of bombers used it. Dont know if it would have made a difference. In theor...

Broken Prop
My son broke one prop blade off of his Corsair, the yellow striped version. Very Carefully, I managed to glue it back on with some Super Glue. Nothing fancy, just regular super glue. Luckily, it was a fairly clean break, and I had a pretty good surface area to glue. Although the thought of drilling ...

Chinook was never used by the USMC. Your thinking of the Ch-46E Sea Knight. And yeah, Ill take one of those.
