Congrats on the progress, Glamdring! Good quote there, too, by the way! :)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Put me in with a Hasegawa F4U-5N in 1/48.
Nick.
Sure thing, and !
Sounds cool Crown!
So, I guess, I have officially started my contribution to this group build. This weekend, I was able to get the 1/72 pilots painted for my F-86 and MiG15. One American aviator, and one Soviet:
"...failure to do anything because someone else can do better makes us rather dull and lazy..."
Mortal as I am,I know that I am born for a day. But when I follow at my pleasure the serried multitude of the stars in their circular course, my feet no longer touch the Earth...
Good job, Justin!
Yeah Justin, that's some nice work on the pilots!
Thanks guys! Those pilots are TINY! painting those is like Bob Ross would say "One hair and some air" ...
Put in some good progress on the cannon over the weekend and did an initial base coat of OD:
Obviously needs a couple more coats of the Vallejo primer, but I'm still debating on picking up a rattle can of OD green rather than continuing with the brushwork.
The barrel itself is from Tamiya's aluminum upgrade set. It's a little disapointing that it wasn't included to begin with, but the $15 cost is preferable to dealing with the 7 inch seams!
I give the AFV Club kit props for including a metal barrel in their 16 year old base kit, even if it was a more basic interation than this Tamiya version.

That looks good! And I'd agree fifteen bucks for the turned metal barrel is worth it.
Justin. nice job on those little guy's.
Robert. that barrel is impressive, the kit must be quite big?
Gamera. thank you!
John 3:16V. the lastest pics
the cockpit is bare bones .
That looks good Nick!
crown r - The Corsair’s comin’ along! Good engine!
Glamdring - The metal barrel is a good addition to the build!
Thanks guys, this kit has been a real pleasure so far.
Nick - The M40 used a modified Sherman chasis, so it's not a terribly large kit. It just looks bigger because of the "Long Tom" cannon.
Looking forward to your Corsair, one my favorite planes!
Corsair looks good! I have one on the bench right now myself.
Gamera. Thanks bud its a hand full with this AK paint.
John.thank you its straight out of the box.
Robert. many thanks mine too next to the P-47.
Jack.its abit fusy when attaching the cowling.
this is the latest pics, with this AK paint its a must to primer 1st if not the paint runs and doesnt stick. I wonder if the decals would go on with out a gloss clear coat? The hasegawa decals are tempermental.
That's a really nice job on the pre-shading!
Gamera. many thanks my friend.
I gave the F4U a clear gloss coat of Vajello clear varnish with 50%Testors universal acrylic thinner works well with that thick tacky varnish..
Really, that's some sharp work.
I expanded the photos and I can see pre-shading there. Not too strong nor too subtle- looks just right!
I was rolling the dice with the AK interactive paint several mist coats then mist coats of clear for decals. Then either a semigloss or flat? did to test 1st.The flat is going to change the preshade. thanks again
crown r n7 Gamera. many thanks my friend. I gave the F4U a clear gloss coat of Vajello clear varnish with 50%Testors universal acrylic thinner works well with that thick tacky varnish..
The Corsair is looking awesome! I'm Diggin' the paintwork!
I have been meaning to get back on here and post some pics...I got started on the Eduard MiG 15 (1/72), starting with the 'pit, as usual...
I began to assemble the fuselage sides, and they were giving me some trouble, but I will get back to it tomorrow, since we have rain in the forcast...
Awesome pit and pilot !
This isn't much of an update, brush painting is going rather slowly, but it's better than nothing!
Robert. thats looking alright .
tiny decals too many. The under side is for tomorrow... then another clear coat and weathering..
Justin: Looks good! Like the pilot, nice work!
Robert: Good to see her together! Looks like the running gear, tracks, and the spade are the only things left to add? The gun looks good, very lethal.
Nick: The decals look great! She really looks like a F4U now!
Gamera. I appreciate it... Well its raining on this Memorial Day I wouldnt care to apply clear coat today?. I am working on exhaust pipes and mounting bracket, so the engine w/cowling has a better fit, good day to watch a korean war movie.. now which one 1st.
Yeah, not sure I'd apply a coat of clear with the humidity way up there.
I suppose I should watch a war movie for the holiday, only question is which one?
Got a little more done to the MiG15 this past weekend. it turns out that the gear bay doors are molded bigger than the gear bay openings on this think and it took quite a lot of sanding and test fitting and subsequent filing to model this MiG "in flight"...
Luckily, since I will be modeling it in flight, the underside wont necessarily be on display...
Looks good, what paint scheme you think of doing on it?
