                        Pix, you're always surprising me. Just when I think you've run out of ideas..... How about another one: how about replicating movie scenes in scale-Like 12 O'Clock High, or 633 Squadron, or Top Gun scenes; you get the idea. Worth a shot???

                        Thanks, coldwar ! I think that I have more ideas than talent. I don't yet know how to create the pictures that I make in my head ! But its a lot like modeling. With more experience, you get closer to what you imagine. Glad you enjoy the ones I'm able to do !

                        More nice work Pix, and I like the idea of a series too. I like em all but the P-40 (who knows why) is a personal favorite.

                        18co - the AMT P-40 kit isn't too bad, IMHO. It is spartan in the cockpit & wheel wells & the decals are THICK, but the surface scribing takes a wash really well, and the fit was good. My only other P-40 kit was a Mauve, and that was about the same.
                        Butz - isn't having FUN what its all about ? Got to keep it interesting. I don't want it to become predictable !
                        Thanks for the replies ! ! !

                        Lookin forward to the series my friend.

                        Sled - You have given me a GREAT idea ! I'm planning on carrying this out as a "series." From both sides, from take-off to landing. I've never seen anything like that before (doesn't mean someone else hasn't done it yet), and it may be interesting to follow. I owe you one, Sled ! ! 1
                        Anyone else think this is a good idea ?

                        Thanks, Sled & J-Hulk ! These are so much fun to make ! I'm glad ya like lookin' at 'em !
                        Sled - You read my mind ! Now I have to make it inventive so you don't see it the way you might expect it ! Makes it more of a challenge that way. I like it !
                        J-Hulk - No adjectives necessary. And if you start using Japanese, give a translation so I can return the favor to you on your MAGNIFICENT builds ! (even if they ARE targets . . . ) (I mean ARMOR !) O.K. J-Hulk. You can put the 88 down now. . . . J-Hulk? ? ?
                        Thanks again !

                        I love it!
                        Both the idea and the execution.
                        The smoke looks fantastic.

                        Pix, I'm runnin' outa adjectives for ya!

                        The hapless P-40 pilot from "Persuit" never made it into the clouds on time. The AMT P-40 has been crippled by the 2 Hasegawa Ki 84s. Hope you like this follow-up pic, & thanks for letting me share it with you !
