Re: WW III GB

I actually shot my M1 with a gloss coat this past weekend, markings and weathering to follow. Not sure how I'm going to go yet, but something with a twist, I think.

Axel, it's been an interesting GB, if a little slow......

I'm resuming work on my F-16. I'm now bashing the drop tanks to look like a tactical nuke/cruise missle.

Despite a more recent date stamped on the box, the AMT F-16 is actually a bit older than the Revell. AMT reboxed a ton of ESCI/Italeri kits, including the one you have in your hands.

Re: WW III GB
What's up all! I've been traveling for the past couple months so I've not been able to work on my kit. I just got back into it yesterday and made some progress. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Stir not the bitterness in the cup I have mixed for myself!

Yeah, true. I forgot about ESCI... well, Italeri is another manufacturer that irks me... Tongue [:P] Got the fuselage halves together, and let the puttying begin!

Re: WW III GB

I did the markings on the M1 this morning, as soon as I get the camera functional I'll get a pic or two up.

BMD's looking neat!

Re: WW III GB

Pics sure are small.....

I've got a couple of pics on my M1, but they're not great, camera's not going to the proper setting. I'm going for a re-marked, out-of-the-reserves look, so I put on some "fictional" markings, then put more right over them after scraping them up pretty good. All the markings are from Verlinden's old M1 dry-transfer sheet. Latest unit marking are supposed to be from a unit stationed in Germany, 1988 or so. I'm going to percolate on it a while before I put the last coat of clear flat on. I'm not sure if I like the big "USA" on the engine cover yet. Also I have a pic if the base I've started for it, it's the beginnings of a European street scene. Comments appreciated......
