Hi Everyone,

Chop chop!!  Cut cut!!  And presto!  Another wing is done!  I had to tape the fuselage together along with the wings so I could get an idea of how it is shaping up.  Here it is so far:

Ken 

 

Lol! Ken's Chop Shop!    That's gonna look great, Ken!  

 

 I can't remember - were there trim tabs on the F-4 ailerons?

 

Russ

Hi Russ,

Thank you for the compliment!

Trim tabs, hmm..., that is a good question.  I don't know.  I will have to research that.

Ken

Ken:

I'm sure you know this, the trim tabs are like elevators for the elevators...lol

I still can't believe the darn things work....

or that the BUFF is an airplane that can take off with its nose pointed 3 degrees to the runway....lol

Dom

Hi Dom,

10-4 on knowing what trim tabs are.  I will have to get my book out and look at the pictures to see if there are any.  I am downstairs at the moment and my book is upstairs.

I have decided to get started on the HobbyBoss MiG-17 1/48 scale. It will be Soviet markings /NMF. First though I must finish up a side project, something I don't normally build: armor. ~

That's gonna look neat, Mike. I haven't built any armor kits since the 60's. My last kit was the Renwal Atomic Cannon. I think it was 1/32 scale but it was really big (about 3 ft long with the tractors connected). Sure wish I still had it... .

   Atomic cannon? That sounds like a 1950's Sci-Fi weapon, one that I too would like. I think I actually remember the one you're talking about. I have a great affinity for post WW2/ Cold War stuff like that. ~

Hey Guys,

Here's a link I happened onto; has a lot of photos of coldwar and Viet Nam aircraft, as well as others:

PS: I got the wrong link on the first post; the one above is the correct link.

No worries guys. I jst checked cybermodeler and they had some good walkarounds.

Hi Mike Mize,

That Panzer is looking really sharp.  Nice work!!

Guys, gonna hit the 8th Air Force Museum in Pooler, GA on the way home, anyone want any photos? Been there once but don't remember exactly what aircraft they have.

Russ: I ended up taking all day at the St. Augustine lighthouse so it was five o'clock by the time I got to Pooler. I'm headed out the museum tomorrow morning. Will make sure to grab some photos of the B-52's wingtips.

Thanks, Cliff. I really appreciate it.

That looks like a neat kit but a lot of work, Mike. Just FYI, apparently Revell is re-issuing the atomic cannon kit. Here's a link to a review of the kit:

I have a great affinity for post WW2/ Cold War stuff like that. All the radical concepts like the pogo and the hovercraft for one soldier, wish I could remember it's name...anyway, back to reality. I've not had much time this week at my bench but have squeezed in an hour or so and plan on being done with the Panzer by Sat. morning. I'll post pics when finished. It was a nice diversion from wings but won't be doing another for a while; if only cause this darn MiG looks pretty daunting.

That's starting to look downright Nazty. I always want to have a huge mud covered diorama table the size of garage covered in panzers, T-32's, Shermans and a few Centurions and M-47 Pattons thrown in.

As for MiGs being daunting, I'll never forget that interview with Craig Cunningham talking about his encounters with the bastiges.

i am now the proud owner of a few MiGs of merit. They are so ugly they are beautiful, but for my warped sense of esthetics, my favourite ugly plane is the Grumman A-6 Intuder. It's the ugliest. i hope I get one for Christmas just to remind me.....

Check this out,

someone found a T-32/34 at the bottom of a lake and pulled it out!:

Captured by the Germans, probably fell through the ice.

Here's a comparison of the fore-deck and bow of the Oriskany:

and here it is with the modified front end to prevent the swells from ripping off the forward flight deck:

See all those beauty aircraft....and the new angled deck....I wish I had that one for my Yacht Club head Quarters...

Great pictures, Dom! Thanks!  Dang, makes me want to build one ...

Russ

I love aircraft carriers.....

Russ, i don't know if you've had the pleasure of meeting Rex, AKA Tarnship.

He has every shade of Navy Grey memorized, and his challenge was to build a model of every Navy aircraft that served.

Another great guy is Tankerbuilder.

If you ever decide to build that carrier, those are the guys.

Dom

Okay, here are the shots of my F-4P recent updates:

and the "moving Target" 'shoe-horn':

How do you cut the pattern for that mess.....shiiish ka bob, Barney,,,,,,,slave effort on that one....

That's the pattern i drew by eye,

I'll keep you updated......SO exciting friends......
