I've got the Kinetic E-2C going at the moment. Quite a lot of fettling work for a modern mold. I've removed lots of the detail from the wing hinges and replaced it. It's a big bugger. That's A3 card it's sitting on. It's a lot further on that now, with base colour on and detail painting started.
Gareth UNDERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the front wing. OVERSTEER - is when you hit the wall with the back wing. HORSEPOWER - is how fast you hit the wall. TORQUE - is how far you can take the wall with you. Read my scale modelling blog at www.latibuliser.com or mfhmazda787.com

Hi Fille_SWE No it's the venerable 1/48th Monogram mold. I purchased the newer Revell pop (visable fuselage version) to get the crew figures. The aftermarket stuff is as follows 1). Verlindens B-17 set 2). Eduard B-17 interior/exterior/flap sets 3). Eduard B-17 Mask set 4). True Details resin wheels 5). True Details Resin Bombarder/Cockpit/Waist Gunners set 6). Eduard engine wire harness set 8). Master .50 metal gun barrels 9). Quickboost resin engines 10). Paragon resin crew access doors/prop goveners and wing intakes/open bombay sets 11). SAC metal landing gear 12.) Kit World decals (doing a 91st bird). Still have not made up my mind what company to buy the resin bombs from yet. I have already cut and cleaned up all the kit parts and resin stuff but the real work comes when I start to recess the panel lines for kit I almost sold it all a few months back to pre-order WingScales 1/32nd B-17G, that was almost a huge mistake. Read here for anyone wanting that B-17 or the B-25's and Meteor they were doing in 1/32nd scale http://store.spruebrothers.com/helpdesk/default.aspx?RowID=1201I also have Revells B-24D/B-26 and Tamiya's Lancaster BI/III that I plan to do the same enhancements on but to a much lesser extent as there just isn't as much aftermarket items for these kits. The nice part about the F-84F is that the local ANG base has all their past mounts on static display, I have access so it should help a great deal for referance. They also have a F-86 F-30, F-86D, F-102 and A-7D which will be a real goldmine of referance when I get around to building those kits.

Well, since you asked The "work bench" (by which I mean tarp covered air-hockey table) currently has this on it: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3248237/Yet_another_Suncom_Restoration.html#Post3248237Once that's out of the way, It'll be time to ready the RC fleet for the season. I also hope to be getting into heli's this year, so perhaps a T-rex 500 will be the next project PS: You static guys make us RC guys look like amatures. $150 in after market parts! That's hard-core.

Seems like you have some work ahead then and when youre finished you gonna have a great HOTAS. I still have my old X-45, i have had that one for years hehe. Many many years ago i did fly alot of rc, i still got a Top Flight 1/7 P-47 half built some where in my parents storage house and a Kyosho 1/5 CAP 232 that is almost finished aswell. The T-rex 500 seems like a good choice for a helo.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic, but here is my 1/72 Shuttle. Monogram kit with aftermarket decals. Still have some work to do on it. Wheels, and flatcoat yet to come. This kit got my hands dirty so to speak for the 1/72 Shuttle Stack W/boosters that revell is re-releasing this month! It will be a monster!

The T-rex 500 seems like a good choice for a helo. Yea, I'm probably going to finish the throttle and then wait till fall to do the stick, but that should hold me over. The "half-built" airframes are actually one of the reason I'm looking into helis. I realized I don't really have time right now to craft RC Fixed wing. Planes are built with glue, sand paper, exacto knives and a mix of patience and intuition. Conversely, Helis are built with a screw driver and the instruction manual. But if the sim is any indication, you'll never get bored flying one! With planes the difficulty is in the building, with helis it's in the flying. Learning to hover alone will take me the better part of the season.
