has done a first class job detailing his 1/48 Eduard Focke Wulf FW 190/A8 "weekend edition".
Cenker used a combination of Eduard Zoom sets and his own highly

I love the engine detail on this one and the camo is quite
attractive.

Train
bombings in Spain 2004 |
|
We got some much
needed shopping done then hit the road and ended up in a lovely
little California town called San Luis Obispo. We decided to
get off the big Interstate 5 and travel the longer more scenic
coastal highway....it's been a beautiful drive. We saw the
Spongebob movie at the theater last night....I'm always baffled that
there can be open fires at the bottom of the ocean....spoiler
alert....it has a happy ending. :-) Today we push on to
San Diego....I love San Diego.
|
|

Jinoo Koo
starts today's update with this very detailed 1/48 Hasegawa P-40E Kittyhawk Mk.

|
|

|
|
David C S Teo
has done an exceptionally fine job on his 1/144 Revell Mahan Air 747-400

his own custom made decals after much trial and error to get
everything perfect. The finished airliner is a beautiful
sight.
|
|
|
|
|
Stephen A. Carr
built his 1/48 Hobbycraft Bell YP-59 Airacomet as a
quickie build, but you'd never know that by reading his article and
the effort he put into this well built and beautifully weathered
little jet. I was fascinated reading Stephen's article
especially how he painted the canopy. He masked and painted
the vertical and horizontal canopy frames separately......saving
himself plenty of time and difficult masking. Brilliant.
|
|
|
|
|
Huberlu
has done an absolutely wonderful job on his 1/48
Eduard Spad XIII. Everything about this little bi-plane
looks perfect from the detailed and weathered model to the pilot
figure to the diorama base. WOW......I love it from every
angle.
|

Our trusty ol' GPS
was getting confused. "She" would give us
directions.....then recalculate when we made the turns she
suggested. We got to downtown San Fran during rush
hour.....we were coming into town as folks were gridlocking their
way out of town. With the GPS getting more useless by the
minute.....I dead reckoned using the setting sun and set course by
traffic-free side streets south out of "The City".
Found a Chinese restaurant and learned the hard way Mongolian food
is spicey. Then continued on south stumbling around in the
dark to San Jose for the night.

Jim Knight is here
with one heck of a great looking 1/48 Monogram F-8C Crusader.
Jim used the Cobra Company conversion kit and the decals are
from a Cutting Edge sheet for VF-84. The finished model with a

this Crusader really look exceptional.

|
|
|
Tim Cvetic has
done an excellent job on his 1/48 ARII F6F-3 Hellcat. Tim
dressed up the cockpit with a resin cockpit and then he added
scratchbuilt detailing to the wheel wells to get that area looking
right. Check out the amazing shading he did on the underside.

I'll be on the road
the next 2 weeks driving 1700 miles to California to buy a rust free
1995 Honda Civic Del Sol as a first car for my 16 year old
daughter. I wasn't able to find a rust free Del Sol near my
city. We'll also be hitting malls and riding roller coasters
etc along the way. She's excited about her first car and
getting down to California during spring break.
|
|
|
Ed Okun has done an outstanding
job detailing and finishing his 1/32 Trumpeter MiG-21MF.
Ed chose to finish his MiG in Syrian Air Force markings and I
must say I particularly like the camo scheme he chose.
|
|
|
|
|
Massimiliano Bianchi has
spent many hours adding detail to his 1/32 Trumpeter MiG 17.
This is a big model so Massimiliano used Eduard PE for
cockpit, the gun and ammo box are scratch built and as well as some
of the detail on the engine. The model was then given a faded
and chipped weathered paint job and Polish Air Force markings.
Amazing work.

Tomislav Kralj
has added hundreds of scratchbuilt parts to fully and accurately
detail his 1/72
Italeri Su-34 Fullback. Tomislav rescribed the panel lines
and used a variety of aftermarket items and decal sheets to get
everything perfect. His article explains the process in very
helpful detail. If you are building the Italeri Su-34, then
this article will be a big help. I love the photos of this
Fullback. |

has loaded his 1/48 Hasegawa F-14A Tomcat with plenty of
gorgeous aftermarket detail along with his very skilled scratchbuilt
detail to make this exceptional jet. His Tomcat is sporting Jolly

Shawn "phantom" Weiler
has been busy creating his first class project with his 1/48
Italeri/Belcher Bits CH-146 Griffon. Not only has Shawn
created this Canadian Griffon, but he also finished it off in the
colourful Tiger Stripes which just makes this SAR chopper stand out
in a beautiful way. Shawn has an eye for the special paint
schemes and this Griffon looks excellent on his display shelves..
