What is everyone doing?

Hi Mike,

Is the PSU in your screen name for Penn State? If so, COOL!

Anyway, I'm working on a 1/72 scale Monogram F-4J which will carry the markings of VFMA-333.

Regards,

Hey Mike!

I'm working on Promodeler's 1/48 F-86D Dog Sabre. I'd have to say, this one's probably one of the best kits I've built in a long time. But then again, painting natural metal isn't the funnest of things to do.

Usually, I buy most of my kits from online retailors, most frequently squadron.com and internethobbies.com. Both sites are very secure, have great service, lots of products, low prices, and ships fast.

For tools and such like paints, brushes, tweezers, etc, I buy from the good old hobby shops in my area.

I am almost finished with a 1/72 Spitfire IX from Hasagawa, have to weather it and put on decals, my first 1/72 and god how do people see these small parts:-) Welcome to the modeling community, this is a great place to learn stuff for sure!

Hello, PSUMike ! Right now, I've got a few "irons in the fire" so to speak. I'm working on a Promodeler Bf 110 G4 w/ Verlinden detail set (major project for me); Classic Airframes MiG 3; LTD LaGG 3; Falcon Bf 109 G12 (2-seat trainer); MPM Fw 189 A; and a Hasegawa Ki 100 Tony w/Eduard photo-etch. All are 1/48 WW II subjects. Should keep me buisy for a while. In between I do "digital dogfights" with pics of my planes using Photoshop.

Hey Mike....im working on
-a 1/32 scale P-51D "Glamorous Glen III" of the 357th FG,
-a 1/48 scale P-38J "Marge",
-and a balsa wood BF-109.

Watching my WW II documentaries and movies ! ! !

Hey all;
I'll tell you what, I'll trade you all of your projects for mine:
I'm working on an A-10A(fullscale) in the middle of a hotbox called Iraq looking for you know who and wishing I could be home dreading the smell of tenetX and testors paints doing my favorite thing in the world(I should say 2nd favorite)

the best places I've found kits is EBay, greatmodels.com, Squadron.com, and sometimes Hobby Lobby,

Keep 'em flying, 'cuda.Your efforts earn our respect and support. Have your pilot drop one on the "Sandman" (who, you say?) for me. Hope you guys aren't there 1 minute longer than you're needed.

I'm working on a Hasegawa 1/32 FW 190D-9 which is coming along nicely.

I get my kits from local hobby stores when I can't wait. Usually mailorder or ebay will suffice for kits that aren't going to be built soon. Watch for Hobby Lobby half price sales. I picked up a bunch of good cheap stuff last time they ran it.

I recently started an F/A-18C in 1/48 scale by Hasegawa. It's going to be a Christmas present to a buddy who works at the company formerly known as McDonnell Douglas. He did engineering work on wing strengthening and tail issues.
So far, it's going pretty well, but I'm dreading the myriad of parts I'll have to attach to the metal landing gear.

I prefer supporting my local hobby shops, but eBay is a great place to "trawl" for models. Thanks to eBay, I have half a squadron of F-4 Phantoms.....

Great artwork, shark708. Where did you get it?

Metallica's a great band! Check out Ipolpo22's post "What would you name it?" He asks what name would you give the hypothetical plane he invented. I came up with lots of suggestions, all from heavy metal.

Since my original post, I have completed the Ki-61 and am now working on an Academy Polikarpov I-16. Small project for sure.

Yes, PSU stands for Penn State... 2 weeks til football season!

A Lagg-3? I'd be quite interested in that... I have completed a La7, working on a I-16, have a Yak1 to be built; also completed La5 and Yak3 years ago...

Hello Mike, and welcome.
I'm currently wrapping up a 1/72 Airfix Kingfisher, and about halfway done with
the Trumpeter Hornet. Next up is my first resin kit, the Iron Shipwright tug USS Hoga.

Guday Mike
I am building an RB-36H in 1/72. The raised panel lines are going to be a right pest to fix!
I also have a WW1 British Hemofradite Tank underway in 1/35 scale.
I purchase most of my kits from my "local" hobby shop about 30 miles away. He has some great kits from the past. Some in original boxes others in plastic bags. I find that it is good to make the trip especially on Saturdays as a lot of other modelers gather for a chat and coffee. Some even bring cakes and bickies (thats cookies to some) and that makes a good day out

Hallo from Poland, Mike ! Now I began to make a Smer 1/48 Reggiane Re 2000 - not so nice model to do, with rivets as big as tennis balls (!), but I think I will work it out somehow. Unfortunately I had to leave my Thai Hawk project because of problems with undercarriage - but I think I will be back to it for a couple of weeks (I'm going to scratchbuild it !). Regards ! Aleksander
