Sorry for the long delay guys. Been really hectic. Anyway here are some pics of the finished cage.

Progress is slow this week. Going to the airport tomorrow where there are to be 16 T-6's, 4 T-28's and a couple of Mustangs for a formation flying event. Here are the seat belts. Not realizing there is only one per pack, I'm awaiting a second pack from Eduard for the rear seat! Doh! Seat belts I have yet to add one more piece to one of the lap belts, just got in a hurry before wife got home ;). Aaron

More progress pics. Frames: IP's Thanks for looking.

Shawn, can you post me the link to your t-6? thanks Aaron

The B25 I sat in was this one, Tondelayo Its awaiting an engine overhaul which should be done in about 2 weeks. They will be giving rides in this one as well. Well, selling rides I should say. :) Tarps on for sun protection.

Here's more progress although slow. Fuse Framing Test Fuse Framing 2 Test IP Rear IP Front IP Black Paint added IP Black Paint added Small areas need touched up on IP's, will do after color switches are on etc. On real plane the top rails are black as well as middle tubing between seats. I have drilled a couple of lightening holes per the rear bulkhead on the real plane and put a .001 "cover" on the top of the bulkhead to represent the way the real one looks. I went out today and took a few more pics. Thanks John for letting me sit in the B-25! RCAF 100, I have posted s

Those are neat pics on the site Rcaf 100. Thanks for the canopy too.

My first airplane ride was in a Tiger. She was owned by a couple I knew in high school. Still in touch with them, in fact building a model of theirs as well. :)

thanks guys, Im off to work at the moment but will be asking about the canopy etc in a day or two. Thanks for the info, Im really interested in the resources of the northern ones. There will be a gathering of 16 or so of these here in Orlando for a formation training class along with 4 t-28s and a mustang in a week. Going to get some great shots. Aaron

Pilots seat, basic paint Fuselage sides basic paint Rear Bulkhead Thats all for now, update in a few days.

Cutting the first parts. Small defects. More Defects After filling and painting.

Hi guys, Thought I would try my hand at a build sequence for the T-6/SNJ 48th Scale. I took a trip to a local museum and spoke with a pilot who flies the SNJ Im modeling. He let me crawl in the cockpit and take a look around. Great guy! Going to build this for the museum. Love those radials! Of course custom paint and custom homemade decals will be the norm on this one. Here goes! Here is the subject! and yours truly; Onto the build; Everything laid out in my homebuilt spraybooth.

Thanks guys. ]

What is the offical color of the center dot in the RAF Roundel Type A. It is off of a Spitfire Mk. II underside wing. The top roundel has the same color within a blue circle. It appears "rusty" red, not insignia red etc. Is this color available as a standard color ie, out of the bottle paint? Thanks. Aaron

Ron, Thanks, I saw those and in fact have the sheet, I should have mentioned mine is already painted the green and brown so that sheet wont work. Sorry! Aaron

Anyone know of aftermarket decals for a Mk. I or II. I am building the Revell 32nd scale bird. The kit decals are trash and broke apart in water. I then tried to salvage remaining by microscale decal film but they were so fragile they cracked going over humps and bumps on wing bottom rendering the whole sheet unusable. Tried to contact revell about replacements but no dice so far. Any aftermarket ones out there, Ive searched a few places but most seem to be for later birds. Thanks.

Hey there, Does anyone have a scan of the canopy masks(Eduard) for this bird. Its not available anymore from what I can see. jamalone"at"cfl"dot"rr"dot"com

Heres my pup, Lizzie. Short for Queen Elizabeth. Taken when she was around 2. Registered Yorkie was given to us as family had 6 kids and didnt have time for her. She is quite the character. Sleeps like a sloth, she is really long. Not too happy. Frisbee around her neck.

I would be interested in a set of Otter and Beaver conversions both 48th and 72nd.

Thanks, Hasegawa 1/32nd

This is my first attempt at preshading, freehand airbrush, panel line shading, and homemade decals, whew! Fictional bird from the 56th. You cant see it but there is a bar under the A on the fuse, so Grabreski fans dont have a cow, remember its a fictional bird. MM enamels and future for decals. Topped with a coat of MM Acryl semi gloss. Guns made from tubing. Aerial is now on and no yellow tips on prop yet, got in a hurry. Will fix later. Thanks for looking. Enjoy.

Thanks guys, a friend donated it to me. It came with no extra resin seats or anything so I may be out of luck for use anyway, unless I can find a partial.

Can anyone tell me what this cockpit is to? I believe its 32nd scale because its huge, 3.25 inches long and 1.25 inches wide. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the reply. I was afraid of that. Aaron
