I've officially moved onto 1/48, so all the 1/72 stuff I'd held onto for the last 20 years now will be going.

My Recent 1/48 Aircraft Completed
These are the most recent models I've managed to complete.

1/72 Ebay kits
My first foray into Ebay. Still learning to sell. It's time to pass on my 1/72 collection. At 15/week if they always sell, should only take 2 or 3 years!!

Thanks everyone, I do miss 1/18. Worry about it? I guess not too much. There's just too many options.

Re: do you ever worry about your hobby?
:lol: Granch sir, I'm always at home. During the holidays, I'm home even longer. My alarms are three very noisy and hostile domesticated mini-lions. NWarty, here's some more arty in 1/6 and 1/144. Woulda been nice if any of these came out in 1/18 though. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t223/chunk...

Re: do you ever worry about your hobby?
1/18 was what got me back into these hobbies. It'll be back someday. Since the hobby got started again, I'd gone into 1/6, but it to has become lacking due to few original releases. I'm now collecting 1/48-50 until something new comes along. So far that's only been in 1/6 but still scarce. Some 1/48...

Are my eyes right? At about the 2:15 mark, are those WWII era bombs on those Intruders? I think your eyes might be right. WWII era bombs were sometimes used on Navy strike aircraft in 'Nam.

The link says it was painted British Dark Green instead of American Olive Drab. Anyone know the difference, or have an example, or maybe state an example of what the difference is?

Now I'm confused. According to this site (http://www.swissmustangs.ch/7215.html) Charles "Chuck" Weaver flew another plane with the same codes (G4A) which is not PW. Found this last night also, just didn't think of including it. It has the markings for both ships and a photo of the second you menti...

A little bit more on the fillet. According to this site, the fillet was added when the a/c was assigned to Captain Charles E. "Chuck" Weaver from Major Arval J. Roberson.

Sorry, just attempting to address some of the concerns about the fin fillet in the latest photos but not in the earlier ones.
Also here's the missing link.

IIRC the fin fillet was due to the a/c becoming unstable when in some configuration/airspeed conditions, this was true of most models. When a fix was found, it was incorporated into all new construction and kits supplied for field installation on airframes still in service. ""One report stated: “Unl...

I understand he was rebranding to "Modern Military Miniatures" or something like in order to get Toys out of the business name and concentrate on one-off high commission items.
