Thank you gentlemen for the compliments. I am glad you enjoyed the pics and discription. I have decals for 5 more Polish MustangIII builds. This was a nice little build and I am planning on doing more. Thank you for the pic of the Pavla vacc canopy that looks nice! God Bless, Ken

Ladies and Gentlemen, Here is my latest finished build. This one is close enough to done to do some posting. First a quick summary: Mission: Build a subject pertaining to the D-Day invasion. Keep it simple so it could be finished in a small amount of time. Try to find something with full invasion stripes on both bottom and top of aircraft. Background: After the fall of Poland in WWII the RAF created fighter squadrons to be staffed with Polish pilots and support. These squadrons experienced great success throughout the rest of WWII. Polish squadrons served during the Battle of Brit

About a year ago I started thinning MM Acryl paints with Future. I use 2 parts paint to one part Future. I now prefer MM Acryl over Tamiya and other brands. I also prime my models. I use Tamiya Fine White Primer from the bottle and thinned with Tamiya's Lacquer Thinner. For cleanup I use cheep lacquer thinner. Whichever brand Wal-Mart has in stock in gallon cans. It is probably overkill but man does it clean things up nice. The proof is in the pics, here is a 1/48 Pegasus Me-262. All the paint you see here is MM Acryl thinned with Future.

Prayers lifted God Bless, Ken

Chuk, Another excellent update. The gear look much improved over the orginals. Nice tip on the brackets. Thanks again and God Bless, Ken

ODB, Games Workshop has done it's best to eliminate any competition selling it's products on the web. Because of this the best place to order their products is Games Workshop's web site. They currently have free shipping for any order $15 or over. Order the Mithril Silver, Boltgun Metal and whatever else you need from them. If that is not to your liking then there are tons of gaming stores that carry their paint range. There is probabily one near you.

Rex, That sure does help. Thanks for the info! God Bless, Ken

I don't suppose anyone made the outboard pylons without tanks in 1/72? A F-4G with 4 HARMs hanging off it looks awesome. God Bless, Ken

You mean I can do something like this???? Ok, already did that. I will have to do something else. I am in. God Bless, Ken

Chuk, As entertaining as always. I get to pick up tips for builds too. How can this be bad? Except when I go through withdrawls when you take a long time to post. God Bless, Ken

That 1/72 F-4F reissue looks like this aircraft: First View Second View I will now be counting the days until this one is released. Did they also say a new tool 1/72 B-17G???!!!!???!!! I like these releases. God Bless, Ken

For MM Acryl paints I started thinning them 2 parts paint to one part Future floor wax. Got rid of the dry tip and added a self-leveling feature to the paint. The Future acts as a retarder and a thinner. Side result is it assists in adheasion, toughens up the paint a bit and makes it glossier for decal prep. HTH and God Bless, Ken

I have gotten away from the usual putty and CA glue for filling gaps. For smaller gaps in harder to reach places I use MrSurfacer and remove the excess with nail polish remover and a q-tip. For gaps along fuselage seams and places that are easy to reach with a sanding stick I now use Testors Tube Glue in the orange tube. It takes a day or so to fully cure. It can be sanded, scribed, and polished. It strengthens the joint that is used upon. I find it easier to work with then CA because it does not get as hard. The down side is the fumes and the curing time. I used it on a DML 1/72 P-38

I have a Badger Patriot, I LOVE it. It does everything I need it to and more. Easy to clean and does fine lines. About to start a WWII German build so I am about to find first hand how it does painting mottled fuselages. GOd Bless, Ken

Oh my!!!! That is NICE Thanks for posting up some pics of this much collected and rarely built kit. God Bless, Ken
