Just what have you been smoking?
Wow bit of a tossup for me between Revell's 1/32 Hawker Hunter and Tamiya's 1/48 P-38 lightning. I think it's the hunter though because I'm building the P 38 now and it's fresh on my mind so that's probably why I'm fighting it out.
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
Nice slot car track Eugene. What scale is that? I am guessing 1/24 scale.
Yep!so pesky;

You mean THIS one?
I dunno, it looks like you had some problems with assembly and paint...
On the Bench: Too Much
Yes sir;the 71 Hemicuda is a prime example!
Oh My Goodness!
There's a lot, isn't there? I did forget a bit when I commented earlier. Bandai Again. It seems everyone forgets Bandai produced some of the best fitting Armor Kits I have had the experience of building .Wish they still did. I'd have one Heckuva 1/48 collection by now. That said, I must mention long Gone MONOGRAM. They had some of the most beautiful, easy to assemble and great fitting Classic model Cars in 1/24 of anyone I ever came across!
Another vote for the 1/32 Corsair from Tamiya. If you don't have the money rob a bank. It's that good.
Interesting..feel free to post pics !

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Best fitting kit award(s) go to (SURPRISE!) Tamiya's F-14A, D, and their new F-4B.
The best model I have recently finished is the AMT International 4070 cabover tractor. There were no issues at all with this kit, frame and running gear lined up perfectly and solidl. The most satisfying truck I have ever built.
Tamiya's 1/32 F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair went together beautifully. So well that I have just ordered their F4U-1A in the same scale.
Hello!
This one was surprisingly nice:
It's the new Airfix. I loved building it and I guess it made me understand a little bit why the crews loved the 1:1 thing!
Thanks for looking and have a nice day

Great looking Johnny Quest Dragonfly there Mach! Man you had to love that cartoon. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore.
Greg, your classic Revell P-51 looks sharp! Let all the snobs hold their nose at such a kit, but you sure made her look great!
F is for FIRE, That burns down the whole town!
U is for URANIUM... BOMBS!

Thanks!
You mean this?
Yah, everything back then was based off off of an elongated V2. with some sort of cockpit,wing, landing gear.
For me it's Revell's majestic old 1/32 P-51B Mustang. Having built at least one in all but 1 of my 6+ decades, it's certainly a nostalgic choice. But the very first one...built with no 'advanced' modeling skills to speak of, with little more than Testors orange-tube glue, brush paints, and a nail clipper as supplies...still came out looking amazing. Great detail (for it's era) and near-perfect fit, clear & easy-to-follow instructions (back before it was 'pictures only'). A great experience that left me chomping at the bit to build the next big way-cool model! A half-century+ later, that yen still runs strong.
[Truth in advertising, the above photo is my last build of the kit, not the first...that one having gone down due to a direct M80 strike during a fighter sweep over the back yard, with no survivors and...darn it!...no photographs. But the more recent build was the same exact model, down to every last raised rivet. ]

Hi!
Have You noticed? There is a resemblance in the cockpit area to Disney's Moonliner in the original Park? Look at the fuselage real well. Mentally remove the large appendages (Wings?) and go from there. Nice job on it though!
Nice job!
Eugene Rowe Pics?
Pics?
Here they are.
I looked for some inprogress photos, but it went together so fast I dont have any.
Hi Kenjitak!
I haven't built anything Bandai, seriousley, in about twenty years. Why? well the only thing they had years ago that I could brag on were their 1/48 scale Armor kits. They went together well and looked great when done! I am not into the Gundam they offer now. If they would do Machinen-Kreiger in 1/35 or 1/48 I might try them again. Their molding was superb!
Hi !
Believe it or not, the Little Robot kit I asked about just a while ago. It's by a company called TAKARA!, Now this little guy at 1/12 has two poses, Alarmed or at Ease! By doing a wee bit of modification on the regular kit parts, He now can be positioned in either pose or in between with ease!
His Vinyl tracks have posed a small problem. I may try to use tracks from something else that looks close. But, overall he is like a Tamiya "Shake and Build" Kit! Then, I will see what I can do about the lower arm parts. You get two sets. I think I am going to use some brass and copy the molded parts and replace them with the Brass. That way he will be fully poseable.
I know he was molded this way. Little hands can't do things like we older more experienced folks can. So two fixed poses. I actually find myself grinning with this little model. First time I've done that in a while.
Yes sir they run well too!
Athearn box cars.
I must have built 100 of them.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
Any Tamiya kit I've ever built.
Retired and living the dream!
