This unfortunate plane may have survived the war but it did not survive my attempt at modelling

Offset control surfaces & everything! I've seen (and built) far worse SKEATA. Is the camouflage based on a real sample?

Me too as far as building worse goes. Don't sweat it. Think of it this way. Youre getting experience. You might outta be careful hangin around a place like this. You might find yourself getting better at this. Looks like a 1/144 scale bird. Those are tough to begin with

Thanks  VanceCrozier  The original colour was a olive brown  and I had no show of mixing/buying that

so head down into a bit of research and came across some thing like this i doubt if it is any where near the photo I saw ,  If it is the ground crew where on the  booze that day

Hi   mustang1989  It's a 1/72  5a-e ( that could be wrong the 5 right is  though )  I've just bought a Brewster buffalo 1/72  and i'll post that as i'm going when i get my head around photo bucket

Cool. I just saw the alligator clip and based my scale off of that. Good to see you posting pics already. Keep em coming, Joe

Hey SKEATA, Me Like. Nice start. By the way, tidying ones bench is onerrated. Taking the time to keep an organized bench only cuts into time better spent building.

You are a wise man Joe

Skeata, I have thrown several ""First attempts" Away. You are a pretty cool person just posting, Actually, You are your worst critic....Me......It was a Nice looking first start....

Applages for the late reply  Gbaker  . Thanks for your comments, Everybody has a starting point and this is mine, so if people can see whats going on they can reply ,good or bad it all helps .Thanks again  

I must be really bad at this hobby cuz I think it looks pretty good, for 1/72 scale

Thanks   FlyItLikeYouStoleIt  I'm regretting  throwing it away  now ! with what I have learnt from the forums

Looks like i;ll get another  and not make the same mistakes ( if that's possible ) LOL  

See ya around  

When I worked at an office job, I was told that a clean desk is the sign of an empty mind.

Panic     chaos    disorder.

 these words best describe my work area.

If you "tidy up" you will never find ANYTHING again.

My first model ( a 1956 ford Victoria by AMT ) was so messed up I actually added colored binder re-enforcement rings to it in an effort to hide the "mauled" paint job !

It wound up looking like " FRUIT LOOPS " was the  corporate sponsor !!!
