Roadrunner Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Don't know if you're aware or not, but Revell is now working on a short nosed 1:32 Fw 190F-8 that's looking rather promising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Man those guys have really had an awakening in the last couple of years because they keep turning out some really cool kits. Stuff like that new tool 109 and that He-219 and that Ju-88!! All I can say is keep it coming!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) This one went to the Capitol Classic show in Austin as well. Ironically it placed 3rd behind my Stuka . I was a little weirded out by that because I've always considered this to be my best effort aircraft build wise but hey, she placed.

Roadrunner Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It can happen that way when you compete against yourself in the same category. I try not to ever enter more than one model per category for exactly that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 I hear you on that and I'll remember it for next time there Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) After the upper and lower wing separated at the wing root on the starboard wing in transit to the last show I went to with this one I didn't think I'd be able to enter it in another contest. I was able, however, to repair it and make it presentable for her last appearance on the show circuit before retiring her to the display case for good.She won 1st place in the category and then something I didn't see coming was this:Â A special award for Best WWII Axis Aircraft in Show: She went out with a bang.... Â Given all that's happened over the last few days with my wife this is a momentary distraction from it. Thanks to all who have voice concern and prayers, Joe Edited February 24, 2016 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Excellent. Glad to see you rescued it from the damage, Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Wow! Amazing detail. I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Thanks Kevin and Scott. Yeah I was unsure if I was going to be able to do anything with it but I made it work fairly well. You can see it if you look close enough (and is what knocked me out of getting Best Aircraft in Show-It was between me and this 1/32 scale F-4 Phantom which I was totally flattered that it was even being considered for that) but other than that it looks fine.

mustang1989 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks Wayne! I may try to run her at the Nationals in '18 of they're going to be at San Antonio Edited February 28, 2016 by mustang1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks Wayne! I may try to run her at the Nationals in '18 of they're going to be at San Antonio Good luck with that, Joe. I've never, ever entered the nationals, even though I've been to several. In 2017, I intend to rectify that in Omaha, entering (I hope) at least four different categories.
