Tonight I put on some fuse wire for the various fuel or cooling lines as well as used aluminum tubing for the exhausts. Looks pretty dang sharp.
I'm avoiding the wings but they are next in line. Wish me luck...Dan

Thanks, Finished projects posted soon!

Another winner, Rick!
I was digging around in the garage today and uncovered the old Italieri FIAT BR-20, which I picked up twenty-five years ago at a show with the idea of someday doing it in Japanese markings. But now I’m thinking it sure would look pretty in sand/rust/spinach…

Basic kit but.... Perhaps worth doing

Vacform Kits / Re: DH-6 1/72nd
« Last post by djuggie on Today at 11:02:47 AM »December 3, 2023
Next step is to close up the fuselage and putty the seams. I use Bondo 907 glazing putty, sanded it smooth and applied Olive Drab by Tamiya.
A DH-4 gave up its under carriage, wing tip skids and its rudder. I lost the vac rudder to only who knows where. The Airfix kit rudder is larger than the DH-6 so it was an easy fix. The horizontal tail plane was scribed on the bottom to give the illusion of a framework.
The DH-4 under carriage fix perfectly, was installed and painted. The wings are next and should be done in a few days.
I discovered just yesterday that I already have a DH-6 in my collection. Also discovered in my vast decal supply was the decal sheet for the Phoenix kit P9, so both planes will be slightly different.

By the way, I need to fix the canopy as it is installed incorrectly

Under Construction / Re: Sopwith 5F.1 Dolphin 1/32 Wingnut Wings
« Last post by AngryJazz on Today at 06:27:40 AM »Sorry for the long delay!
Im finally back to a somewhat normal schedule and can get some more reliable bench time
Life with two small kids (1,5 and 3 years old) can be quite an experience sometimes! So the more complicated builds like this Dolphin was put on pause and I worked on other things that were easier to put down if I had to.
However I've decided I want to get this project going again.
I will properly have to sacrifice some details and just live with small errors here and there.... But hey it's that or having this model gathering dust on the shelf. Maybe I'll get back to super detailing when the kids are a bit older and bench time is less interrupted
The Dolphin is almost ready to be installed in the fuselage and hidden forever! Just missing a few rigging lines between the two frames and above the seat.
Engine was wired up with 0,1mm copper wire. Not a great job, but it's almost invisible anyways once installed.

« Last post by pepperman42 on Today at 06:26:30 AM »Great progress and a save since last time! One of my favorite books of all time is Fighter Pilot by Paul Richey. I Would love to see his airplane although it was a pretty bog standard scheme....maybe Cobber Kain?
