ResinBuilder

After a great time in St Louis at the IPMS Gate Way contest and swap meet , where I go for the green and not the gold. Sales was good, bought a good number of kits and books. Sunday got wings glued on. still doing a little putty work here and there. Starting to take shape. The clear resin cockpit canopy on the A model is cracked and really do not want to email Nostgalic Plastic about it as he never answers his emails about anything except when there is money involved it seems. Well back to the pics.......... Thanks all for looking

I have not even took the clear out of the boxes yet. Be the last thing I put on before primer goes on the planes. I got alot of filling and sanding done the past few days. got some rescribing done also. Hoping to get wings on them both tonight as they are all sanded and ready to mount. Will post pics in a few days. Heading to the IPMS Gateway Show in St. Louis this Saturday. Thanks all for playing along,

Thanks all for the comments! JackMan, I use super glue. Make sure everything is real clean free from mold release and sanding dust before gluing togather with superglue. HTH

Working on sanding the 8 engines and trying to get the C-141A back half flush with the front half. Will post more pics of this wounderufl journey here real soon. Kinda wishing I would of started the CMK Shorts flying boat now!! Or even the Amodel Tu-114 and the Moss also. Thanks for looking and tell later.................

size differance in the A and B models C-141B glued togather C-141B and the AModel 1/72 Tu-114

Interior parts painted Used alot of old instrument decals that I had laying around, really cannot see much of this when togather. All seats painted french blue Glued in place

Well I started Anigrands 1/72 C-141A and C-141B models. The C-141A is a real disapointment far as quilty. I think quilty control was taking a nap after there mid-morning milk and cookie break on the kit I got. All 8 main landing wheels are out of round, if sanaded will be a smaller size. Little parts were clobbed with resin and had to be carved to shape removing the chunks from seats, engine halfs, gear doors and few other things. Pin holes. pinholes and moon craters to fill up. Looking at pics below the fit if the C-141A front halfs to the rear halfs are way out of alingment. Around where t

Amodel 1/72 Tu-114 One great looking kit I must say. Mext to the 1/72 Anigrand C-141B

P2V Neptunes for Hasegawa 1/72 great profiles (check out this link) Neptune site Also for the Hasegawa 1/72 Marlin and some colorful 1/72 P-3's would be great for the Heller 1/72 EC-121 and C-121

Finally got the decals on the two. Decals for the DH 91 will be put on this weekend, decaling is not one of my favorite sports, have to be in the mood and no one planing to drop by so I wont be bothered and loose my train of thought.

Peter, I have alot of full resin kit goodies and a few 1/144 resin kits. Too many to really list. Thanks for looking

Been collecting 1/32 US Navy stuff and few others as of late (limited to what I will build here sometime) and was woundering if we will ever see a 1/32 KingFisher from Trumpeter sometime? I know, I know Tamiya and Hasegawa would be better but more likely see it coming from Trumpeter. But sure would be pretty to see a big yellowed wing Kingfisher Also had the Combat models 1/32vac but sold it a few years back.

pic of progress on this fine little unit. Thanks all for looking..............

Trying to get a few finished at the moment. Thanks all for looking

got this done for the "Gone But Not Forgotten" Group Build here on ARC 1/72 Nostalgic Plastic's (Anigrands tooling) all resin kit. The flash faded out the off black anti-glare panel Thanks all for looking!

Finished at last more pics under the completed builds section for this group build, Thanks all for looking and kind comments.

Have the P4M-1Q finished. Thanks all for looking. 1/72 full resin kit. The flash hides the off black anti-glare panel

I picked up the Tu-126 Moss from Hobby Terra price was $202.00 postage paid to the USA they always offer great fast service. HOBBY TERRA TU-126 Waiting for the Tu-114 to hit there site. The Moss looks really good, and yes with each kit they seem to improve over the last kit, the Moss looks really good and the props look nice.

Looks really great, and yes there resin is fragile.

Thanks guys, I got the kit built OOB and did get the area cut down and smoothed out and plane is in primer. Was wanting to do one with the bombs.

Comes in Red also, I like the red but a buddy gave me a blue/green tube of it to use up. "Putty, Reshaping the "Major Flawed" kits for years"

I have several different ones also, and this one here kinda disapointed me link below OH SORRY it is F Resin Brabazon kit

Well have the Mars all done, Thanks all for playing along on the build will post more finished pics later, Thanks Again

Wanting to do a Royal Iraqi Air Force Hawker Seafury and was woundering if any one know's if they carried bombs or rockets or drop tanks. Thanks in advance

What I have done to straighten out warped resin parts and to make sure they are straight is that I clamp them to a peice of stir stick (the thicker stir sticks) or get peice of a firring strip of wood. Make sure your wood is straight. (LOL) Clamp them lightly with those plastic clamps and then sumerge into hot water. Dip into cold water or let cool on there own out of the hot water then. Works for me. You can use tongs to remove from hot water if you wish or be a man like TaiidanTomcat and bob for it like apples.
