nice job woover!
duplicating a tank from a picture is always very hard....who knows mayb theres something on the other side, or, what does it say on the turret, whats that on top of there? and its probably the only picture of that tank........
i just came back from thanksgiving vacation, and now i got school tommorrow.......ugh.....i think ill get working on the Zero to burn the rest of the day......i made pictures of my progress so far, but i have to take all the pictures at one time and then l8r put them up......and i should really get started on that canopy for the wildcat, and the decals......its never gonna end!!!! post numba 600!!

yeah, it'll be a challenge.

the only thing right now, is what it all has for baggage on there.

it says NINOCHKA on the turret (I looked it up and found nothing telling me what it means.......Russian or Korean) it also says it on the side of the hull (I got a better quality pic in a book here). I imagine it says it on the other side of the turret and hull.

its the only picture I could find of it, but it shows enough for me to work on.

took the tabs of the spare fuel tank holders. those are fragile pieces without the tabs. I took a pic that I'll post sometime here. otherwise I'm half way through assembly here, I'm busy right now so i don't think I'll get much done till thursday............
also took off some front hull detail that I saw wasn't on the korean beast.

hi, Chris !
NINOCHKA is a name, it's russian & it means Little Nina, i think....
the russians liked 2 put their girlfriend's name on their tanks 4 some reason,
also various political slogans...
HTH,

I'm just wondering why, either russian or korean, they are using the standard alphabet, and not their own characters.......? that kinda messes things up a bit.

a month, well parent teacher conferences next week, so i ghet 2 more days off, so even more progress on the phantom. I STILL haven't painted the bottom, it needs a coat of future, then the decals, a flat coat, and then final assembly. still a ways to go. It's a long way to Tip... okay never mind. lol.

hope you guys can all finish before 12:00 modnight december 31(?). me, not a chance....

BTW- NEone know where one cold get some russian T-34 bedspring armor? its not for this build but for a dio i got planned later on.

oooo, I'll have to look through my FSM mags, theres one with PE bedsprings. I'll find it.
But, you could look for a PE set. I saw some PE mesh that would definetly work. Its used for architect model houses or something, its at my Hobby town USA. After that you would have to do a little bit of scratch building.

LOL! I thought I had it bad here! I thought frost on the ground was cold, man, your door froze shut! that sucks! Wait a minute, your in calgary, that explains it! Laugh [(-D]

(dont know if you have ever seen it, but right now I am thinking of the movie cool runnings)

As far as airbrushing goes, I think I am in the past. I have just upgraded to using styrofoam to hold things, used to do it by hand. My station sucks, and I think I am using too much thinner for cleaning etc. It out in the shop, it has spider webs all around it, hell, i made it myself. Some day I would like to have a modeling room in the house. With heat and air conditioning. Maybe one day...

reggie and jay, glad to hear from you guys! I though you had abandoned us!

whew... that was a lot of sanding! I just finished a day's work on the Rafale. filled and sanded gap between wings and fuselage on the underside, filled and sanded seam between upper and lower fuselage halves at the nose section, and a LOT of sanding around the intakes where the fit wasn't all that good. that was the most sanding i've ever done in a day. now i think the aircraft's ready for painting when christmas break comes around..

i'll post some progress pics in a few hours; my dad just got a new digital camera. so when he comes home, i'll take some.

hey, Happy birthday!!! I'll change that right away! I play airsoft instead of paint ball. I love the way the guns are, They are almost like the real ones! My sisters friend came over on a leave from Iraq, saw my M4 inspected it and said it looked exactly like his! Unfortunatly (i think) it doesnt snow here, just gets really really cold! Me and my friends are going to try and have a night battle this weekend, in the cold!
I hope it happens!
