  1. I was speaking of the actual size of the plane compared to the other fighters of the day. The build itself was quite easy, but you are correct, with the 8 .50 caliber guns it was definitely the beast!
  2. Very cool, I’ll have to check these out next time. Unfortunately since I retired and moved my closest store is an hour away instead of 5 minutes.
  3. I bought this kit at a garage sale for five bucks this summer. Decal were unusable so I purchased these Warbirds Decals from Hobbylinc. Actually they didn’t cost a penny using built up rewards. Paint is all Tamiya rattle can. Plane is ready for it’s maiden flight with Paul A. Conger at the sticks. Thanks for looking and welcome your feedback. this plane was a beast
  4. Very cool and thoughtful. Someone’s going to be very happy!
  5. Just finished this old dive bomber up. Upper color is kit plastic with a matte clear coat and lower is Tamiya AS-16 Lt gray. I’m really enjoying these 1/48 scale WW2 planes. This kit has a lot of moving parts, many in which I was able to get to work. Folding landing gear, swinging bomb, open and close dive flaps and moveable tail gunner gun and swinging tail hook. Drilled out the 268 holes in the dive flaps, greatly improved the looks of it. Thanks for looking and enjoy. I forgot to add a bit of history on this plane. ”This SBD from the air group off the Wasp participated in attacks on Guadalcanal on August 7 1942. The roundels have been crudely enlarged by hand, while the stars had been left the original size”
  6. Looks pretty perfect to me. Excellent looking Chrysler.
  7. Thank you all for looking and taking the time to leave the nice comments.
  8. Great looking Camaro and color is spot on. I always liked this body style.
  9. This is my recently completed Mustang finished in Tamiya TS-54 Lt Metallic Blue, somewhat close to the original Acapulco Blue. Nice to have another Mustang in the coral. Thanks for checking it out.
  10. Thanks EMRE for posting some great information and the family photo. I think I can agree with your order.
  11. I’ve thought about bringing this up many times so now I’m going to let the cat out of the bag. Am I the only builder who is guilty of omitting the seldom seen, difficult to access lower radiator hose? I have quite a collection of them! I know a lot of members might think this is as taboo as using a Sharpie for trim or Testors tube glue but I am quite guilty. There may be less than 10% of my builds that have a lower hose. How much in the minority am I?
  12. They also have a great rewards system along with their low prices. I never order anything I’m in a hurry for.
  13. Looks fantastic! Love the color.
