I'm just going to keep these two on my desk. They're pretty small.... about 7" long.

If I build any more I will have to make a shelf for them.

skernsk the cowl flaps are one piece and the panels are molded that way. You have a choice of building the flaps opened or closed. On the corsair I brought out all the panel lines using very thinned grey paint.

Thanks for the compliments everyone :)

Very nice man, wow that it is only two models you've done in last 20 years.
Keep it up. :)
Title: My Jugs
Post by: NUKE on April 12, 2003, 10:37:15 PM: Nilsen10, BGBMAW, SaburoS thanks!

I decided not to try to weather these though I know it looks cool when you get a nice weathered look down.

You guys have any pics posted I could look at?

SaburoS, I used to make them when I was between 15 and 18 or so and I'm 38 now.

When I was 15 I had a 1/48th Tamiya F-15 that won a model contest. Turns out some pilots from Luke AFB saw the model and they contacted me. A few of them paid me to build the planes that they flew ( F-4s, F-15's) and took me to the AFB and let me ride and fly the F-15, T-38 and F-4 simulators.

Post by: AWMac on April 15, 2003, 02:19:56 PM: Very nice Nuke. I've started back into modeling a few Months ago... but then my 4 year old Son convinced to to wait a few years. He wasted a few Mustangs, a P-40 and a 190A8. But I still love him.

:D
