Re: 1/18 Customs: WIP B-25B, Sherman w/interior, Fuel truck

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll have pictures of some other stuff I'm working on in December, such as a 1/18 Bell 47. Also, thought I would address the inevitable question on the P-39. It is gradually making progress, however I have earned a huge respect for Picklehaube's skills. Building mode...

1/18 Customs:B-25B -Finished, Sherman w/interior, Fuel truck

Seems like I haven't posted here in ages. Been busy preparing to leave for college tomorrow, so I figured I should post these before I leave. The B-25 is a heavily modified FSK B-25. I have added retractable landing gear, improved cockpit, and have converted it from a B-25J to a B-25B by adding the ...

Re: WHERE IS JSI?

Has anyone tried to contact JSI lately? Where is the F-15, the Su-27, has this young company died out already? Well, their web page is gone now, and most of their products are getting hard to find. Combine this with Allgo's lawsuit against them for stealing the old 21st Century molds, I would say t...

Re: What Should The Next Aircraft Mod Kit Be ?

I know I have brought this up a lot, but would a UH-1D full or partial mod kit be a possibility? It would certianly use less resin and RTV than a full Spitfire cast. With JSI gone and bbi only doing repaints, this might be the only possiblity for a new helo. Otherwise, I vote blackhawk DAP.

F-104 Snoopy Sniper

Does anyone know where I can find a good straight on side view of the nose art for this 104? I want to make a decal of this for a 1/18 repaint, and I can only find original photos where the curvature of nose distorts the nose art.

I will be ordering a 1:18 B-25 from FSK, is anyone else interested in getting something from them? If two other members are interested we can get free shipping and save $60+. I will send the other planes out for no charge once they come. Not sure if this is in the right place, though. Feel free to m...

Actually those were just printed on testors decal paper. The only decals you can't print on the testors sheets is the light, near white colors.
