Awesome work, thanks for sharing.

Would love to see the cockpit interiors too!

Almost makes me want to get back to the collection of unfinished kits in my closet...

Kinda bummed Skuzzy moved it to the O'Club, as I had intended it to be a thought-provoking thread in AvA regarding new skins and ideas for AvA events...but the more the merrier.

Thanks for the kind words guys. To answer a couple of PMs at once, yes, most of these models are available, along with a few newer ones, a Fiat G. 55, Me-163, SB2C, Ar-234, etc.

I'll warn ya though - they're not cheap. Factor in 50-60 hours of work at 7-8 bucks an hour for a 1/32 single engine aircraft... Here's some shots of the cockpits, most of these are before the fuselage halves are closed up. Once the fuselage is closed, its almost impossible to get a decent shot.

Ar-234

Here's some additional stuff...


Pacific Coast Models Fiat G.55. I wish we had this puppy in AH...


Hasegawa Messerschmitt Me-163 Komet... Perks anyone?


Hasegawa Lockheed F-104. This model sat half-painted on my shelf more than a year...


Hasegawa Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat. I backdated the -5 into a late -3 of VF-27, USS Princeton.


Fujimi 1/72 F4 Phantom. This one has all the bells, whistles, and remove before flight tags.


Tonight's completed project, an Avia S.199 Mezec. This started out as a 21st Century kit, cut, chopped, and turned into a Jumo-powered Israeli fighter.

I know jets don't really count, but I thought you'd enjoy the paint scheme.





This is a scratchbuilt/semi-vacuform. Both are 1/32. Cockpit photo of the 234 is in a previous post.

Do you use microscope to etch those letters on the cockpit canopy?  There's no way I can do that with my hands :cry

The warning placards are from a company in the Czech Republic called Eduard - they do photo-etched detail sets for just about everything. Amazingly, you can read them if you have enough magnification.
