From Udorn, Thailand Air Base. These definitely show wear, stains, smudges and weathering. Looks like RF-101's in the background off to the right.

Re: 1/6 ITEMS
The Sixth Scale Collector's Club has been publishing a virtual meeting each month with photos of projects photo shopped into the form of a "Yank" WWII period magazine. They were kind enough to include my "stay at home order" project I got carried away with and just kept adding to every day until it ...

HobbyBoss 1/18 Me 262 Kit?
Did I miss this? Did we need this? Are the 21st Century versions good enough?

Re: Where Have All The Aircraft Mods Gone?
Yes, the risks of hanging large heavy models is always present. At the Museum, we had the fishing string break on a P-47. When the hangar doors are open and even when the ceiling fans are on, the planes will spin slowly back and forth with the breeze. After hanging for 12+ years, seems friction wore...

Finally put what at least for now are the finishing touches on my slat grill Jeep. Dirtied it up a bit more with mud splashes and such in differing shades.

Sure looks like it. But being Hobby Boss, you never know what may come out of their imagination. At least they're trying! A Japanese bomber would be nice.[CAT]CplSlade wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 1:00 pmI believe someone who knows better than I said it was the 2600.

Re: Review: GREYHOUND
It's always easier to do fiction or "based on actual events" for taking liberties in the drama and characters. The critics apparently thought he still didn't take enough. They said it was more like a docudrama. I don't think critics like true stories unless they are highly embellished.

The wrong engines? :roll: That's hilarious! :lol: What a blunder!! I looked at the sprue pictures but didn't count cylinders. Did they assume it had R-2600's like the Mitchell? That would be a tough fix. The R-2800 cylinders are much smaller. That was the different design philosophy between Wright a...

Not impressed with the clear parts but that might just be a rough prototype. Can't tell if they fouled up anything major to concentrate on overblown details.

I want action and realistic action in a film like this. I can watch a quirky non historical character study movie if I only care abou...

Re: 1/32 B-24!
Yes, but have you seen any of the finished builds out there? Even with its flaws it builds up into something that still says, 'B-24' and looks good to the average person. I got one for Christmas and am glad I did because there won't be another company stepping up to do it. Yes, that makes it tough....

Re: 1/32 B-24!
quite a bit cheaper than the 1/32 Lanc and B-17. If you're very familiar with the plane you will be disappointed in some areas, They completely fubar'ed the Davis airfoil, for instance. Not a deal-breaker for me but it is for others; Here's a graphic view of how bad the Davis wing was botched. Note...

You might want to consider putting a quarter or something easily identifiable for size comparison in at least one picture to emphasize just how tiny your 1/144 models are.

Re: Pacific Dogfight (Corsair vs Dinah) 1/144th Scale
Nicely done. I remember doing the clear prop disks on the planes I had hanging from my room when just a kid. Your prop blurs have taken that to a new level. I also have my Dad to thank for all my aviation and WWII passion. Curious about the smoke from the Zero. What material is that?

Re: Salvage Yard
Mark,
Dug through a bunch of stuff and I may have found one. Does it look right to you? Seems to match ones on my 251's . You're welcome to it. Like the vast majority of the stuff I dug through, I don't need it for anything.

I would welcome another company making WW2 figures, especially Joy Toy. I’ve got 2 sets so far and a couple extra single figures and they’re top notch 1:18 figures. I am not bothered by the joints as some people are because all I have to do is take off my bifocals and voila, no unseemly joints! Tha...

Re: Do we really want new WWII figures?
Hmmm... no one got my riddle? Anyway, I always liked these figures probably only because of the lack of ugly joints. They always had helmets either too small or fit funny. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MEN-OF-CHARLIE-COMPANY-US-Army-Infantry-NW-Europe-1944-Figure-Set-Dragon-Action8/283881624530?_trkparms...
