Some work done on the IP. Not the best photo but it will do.

One thing that amazed me is the size of the wing on the PBY - its friggin' huge! The way monogram designed the wing is quite nice. I'm fairly certain I can wait until the end of the build to attach it. That said. I've glued the wing together and have started the sanding and putty process. Some gaps need to be worked on, but overall nothing major. Here is a seam on top of the wings that will need some love. Some work on the wingtips needs to be done as well.

I've never had much success with my own in progress thread - but that's mostly because I tend to move around between builds. My hope is that this thread will keep me on, gain some wisdom from you all, and help my complete this build by the end of July. This will be the first black finish I've done - I'm a little nervous about weathering a black seaplane - but also excited to try something new. Honest feedback & suggestions are highly appreciated. I think it will help motivate me with the build. This is the aftermarket I'll be using for this build - pretty simple. I also have a Eduard ca

This is my latest build. I build terribly slow (too many other hobbies to distract me) But I started this last fall and then put it away for a couple of months only two start up and finish about 4 weeks ago. Classic Monogram B-24 with a Koster rear turret, a mix Kitsword and superscale decals, Squadron canopy, EZ line rigging (That stuff is amazing!), and an unbelievable amount of fish weight in the nose to make it sit properly. Paint is a custom mix of model master for the "pinkish tan". Oil wash. I still need to paint the formation lights. If you see anything else - let me know! Overall I'm

Great work! I love this kit!

PM sent.

Ok, I'm a plane guy and a complete noobie when it comes to ships. I'm building a 1/700 CA-71 Quincy for my my Grandfather who served on it in the early 1950s. I couple of questions... 1. What would be the colors used? I see lots of info on wwii camo, but I can't seem to find what I need for the post war years. Would the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the ship be 2 different colors? 2. Would the teak deck be "teak" wood color - our would that have also been painted? Sorry if these are ridiculous questions - but help a guy out if you could. thanks!

Greg, thanks for taking the time to look! - I appreciate it!

I managed to misplace the astrodome (clear bubble window on top of the front fuselage) for my revell/monogram 1/48 B-24 build. The B-17 astrodome may work as well? If you have a spare one available, please let me know! I can pay or possible parts for trade.Thanks for looking! Matt

Love the weathering and the unique modex number!! Great job!

I've been watching it, but frankly I've been pretty turned off my NBC creating political "stories" - I just want to watch athletes compete.

I finished mine. Never again. besides the inaccuracies, the directions are piss poor and leaves you scratching your head and questioning many things. I can't tell you how many hours I spent looking at photos and then checking the "alignment"of each stage, as the paint guide is practically non existent. They also don't really show you where the different lines actually attach to the different stages, so again check, re check, and then check your references again. I totally drilled out holes for lines on both sides ( because they mold locator holes are on both sides) only to find out it didn't

I would agree, I switched back to enamels and bought a good respirator about a year ago. Masking was always a pain with acrylics as well as clogging my airbrush (I only used MM Acryl FWIW). I have heard that applying a good coat of Tamiya Primer before acrylics can help with peeling.

You can see the video here: http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/23907027/tribute-to-our-troops-celebrates-10-years Well done Sir!!! I must say, when the reporter was holding that P-47 and swinging it around with her wild hand motions, I was freaking out a little :) Slow down there!

I have them. Drop me a pm.
