Thanks guys, Silver1...I added just a few extras in the form of seat belts, brake lines, and the little "spinners" on the bomb tips. I also added a cover plate made of very thin plastic on the belly inside the turbosupercharger exhaust fairing to eliminate the seam that would otherwise be present. The decals are from Ministry of Small Aircraft Production's P-47D sheet. Happy modeling! :o Joe

Thanks Aggie...glad YOU liked it! Joe

Hi all, This is my nearly done Tamiya 1/72 scale P-47D. Still have the gun sight, canopy and numerous other external items to add following the semi-flat finish I'll be spraying soon. Just some minor extras added to this kit as it's superb right out of the box! Hope you like it so far! Happy modeling all! Joe Youngerman

Fine looking SBD Salty! Weathering looks great. Joe Youngerman

Thanks Icehound...the build has gone well with any snags being mostly self induced. The horizontal stab area needed a little filler but the rest was great. Even the cockpit is nicely done, (though I added to it). Joe Youngerman

Hi all, just a couple in progress shots of my BV P-194 build in 1/72 scale. The paint scheme is my guess on how this a/c might have looked on the Eastern front in early 1946. Final decaling, wethering and assembly to go! Happy modeling all! Joe Youngerman

Very pretty model...I enjoyed the subtle weathering...well done! Joe

Love it Marcin...great work as always! Joe

Looks very nice...just did this one myself a short time ago and loved the resin parts! They were done by Steve Hustad I am told...and he is a master talent. Your weathering looks good...I agree though...a new loop antenna would be great. I replaced mine with a metal one made from scratch. Thanks for posting! Joe

Thanks BlackDog...your work is amazing!! I am taking a little break from non-fiction to build Revell's Blohm & Voss Bv P-194 attack a/c concept. It's a very nice kit of this odd bird and I'm adding some small details in the cockpit and to the landing gear. I don't generally build Luft 46' stuff but I thought this might be fun. I have it nearly ready for paint...now if I can just decide on a scheme! I am also working on Spate's bright red Me 163B for a small diorama. I have added a resin interior from CMK and will be doing a couple other small improvements as well. Lastly, I'm looking f

Thanks guys for the feedback! Shawn_C...I do plan to enter it in Region 3 and Nationals this year...we'll see what happens. Joe

I should have stuck my thumb in there for some perspective! Joe

Looks good! The finish is very nice and the colors accurate. Joe

:lol: Yep, it's 1/72 scale. The only scale I work in for the most part...glad you liked it! Joe

Thanks very much gentlemen for the nice feedback...BTW cool sig pic Hawkhornet! Joe

I love the streaking technique on the BMF...that's something I'll have to try on my upcoming P-47D build. Thanks for passing those along Marcin. Joe

Looks awesome Zactoman! Great finish you've acheived...I only wish the pics were a bit brighter to better see your work. Thanks for sharing it! Joe

Great job on the 190! Thanks for sharing your work! Joe

Hi all, Thought I'd toss on a few shots of a Tamiya 1/72 scale Fw 190D-9 I just finished. I used the extra clear parts included to do an early 190D-9 with the flat topped canopy and the antenna cable tensioner pully. The decals are from EagleCal. The kit was built to out-of-box standards with only the gun barrels and exhausts being drilled out. The seat belts are from tape. Hope you like it! ;) Happy modeling all! Joe Youngerman

Very nice work indeed...love the stand also! :blink: Joe

Very, very nice Jeff! Thanks for posting! Joe

Absolutely gorgeous Marcin, you really did that kit justice! I love the subject an hope to build my Mikro kit of this bird in 1/72 scale one of these days! Joe Youngerman

Impressive work...I like it! ;) Joe

Very nice work on that delicate little machine...thanks for the great pics! Joe Youngerman

Thanks gentlemen...Rune, Zactoman...the article should be up in two to three weeks over at ModelingMadness.com How long will depend on how many articles Scott has in his que. I plan to do an article or two on other builds here for Steve soon as well. Happy modeling guys! Joe
