Greetings fellow modelers

Posted by Hondo on Monday, December 10, 2007 12:44 PM

My name is Kevin Krueger and I'm posting here for the first time. I've been away from the hobby for about 3 years now due to moving twice across the country (midwest to east to west). Now that I'm getting myself settled...AGAIN, I'll be rejoining the ranks of the molded plastic challenged individuals who frequent sites such as this.

My modeling interests are:

anything that interests me!

I have done reviews for modelingmadness.com so I'm sure some of you may be familiar with me and/or my work. Anyway, "hello" to all my fellow modelers.

I have just one question for anyone who might know. A few years ago, there was on article in FSM where an individual converted a Hasegawa 1/32 P-51D into a P-51B. I was thinking it was Paul Boyer but I could be wrong. I tried the archives on this site but found no results. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place. Can anyone help?

Merry Christmas everyone,

Kevin

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] Kevin! As for the article, I think I may have it at home. IIRC, it's in one of the FSM WWII special editions. I have them somewhere, I'll take a looksie tonight when I get home.

Frank,

Yes it was. I believe the issue had an article by my friend Rusty White and his DKM Bismarck ship model. If that is so, then it is one of the WWII specials.

Kevin-

YES, that's the one! I remember that Bismarck model ploughing through the North Atlantic. In fact, that model was the reason I saved the issue. When I dig it out, I'll scan it for you. Just pop me a PM with your email addy and I'll send it to ya.

OK, I found the article you are looking for! It's in the 1995 FSM "Modeling the Second World War: A 50th Anniversary Tribute." The plane is actually James Goodson's P-51B converted from the 1/32 HAsegawa P-51D. If you send me a private message with your email address, I'll send the scanned pages to you. Thumbs Up [tup]

Frank,

E-mail received...thanks a whole bunch. The article will help even though I'm going to tackle the Revell kit. I figure that if I can make a decent 1/32 scale BF109F from the old 1967 Revell kit (including lengthening the fuselage), the Revell P-51B can't be any more difficult. At least it starts out looking like a P-51B.

Merry Christmas,

Kevin
