  1. Iron Shipwright makes one in resin, but its not cheap. I don't know of any others off hand. Here is the link; http://ironshipwrights.com/ships_350.html Robert
  2. Hi Rich, No not at the moment, I have been busy travelling for work so I haven't got back to the work bench. I plan on getting some work done on it this weekend as I have to head out again on Tuesday so I should updates by Sunday for you. Robert
  3. The CAD drawings of the P-40B look good, will look forward to looking at the actual plastic to see if they were able to get it right. Robert
  4. I like the finish as well, looks nice and smooth, great job! Robert
  5. Congrats on your plane. Hmm, its either my wife or the plane? My response would of been....hmmm, I'll miss you honey! Robert
  6. Thanks Triarius, I will try some of the craft glue. Robert
  7. I am currently working on Glencoe's 1/144 M-130 China Clipper, but the kit only comes with the side windows and no cockpit windows. Other than the Testor's window glue, what other techniques or products can anyone suggest? Thanks, Robert
  8. They look good, will have to pick up a set when available. Robert
  9. I have always been fascinated with the beauty and elegance of public transportation of 20's and 30's. For me the China Clipper captures that sense of adventure that we don't really get as we travel. A little history; http://www.aviation-history.com/martin/m130.html I pulled out the Glencoe 1/144 kit I have had in the stash for awhile, so hopefully I can do it justice. More to come! Robert
  10. I am going to build the Glencoe 1/144 Martin M-130 China Clipper. Model has been in my stash long enough. Robert
  11. Thanks Dana, for the info. Robert
  12. Thanks Jennings, That's what I figured, as I couldn't see any or find anything noted in any of my reference books, but I figured I ask just in case. Robert
  13. I have a Trumpeter 1/32 F4U-1D Corsair kit and one of the aftermarket decal options I have is for a FG-1D, The kit has the same markings, but the aftermarket ones are better. My question is, are there any external differences between the Vought built -1D's and the Goodyear -1D's that I would need to make? Thanks, Robert
  14. Here is a build on the kit. Its fairly new so yes both kits are both new compared to their past releases. http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal11/10101-10200/gal10136-Zero-Johnson/00.shtm Robert
  15. Photo etch is not really hard to work with, just some of the smaller pieces can be difficult to handle. And depending how the parts need to be folded, if you don't have a folding jig, you then have to get creative on how to use tools to get the job done. Go to You Tube and search "HOW TO WORK WITH PHOTO ETCH" and you will find several links to very good videos on the subject. Robert
  16. Your finish looks perfect, very nice build! Robert
  17. Nice, the weathering looks really good! Robert
  18. Very well done and nice weathering to. Robert
