Hi there! This one was build two to three years ago, but left thereafter exposed to dust and cats on a shelf in the dark corner of the workshop. It's been lightly damaged, and is in need of small repair, and maybe a few touch up on the weathering. So, if you've some ideas about it, just tell me, and I may have a try.

Hi there! Here is my interpretation of a Nakajima Ki-27 Otsu from 68 Shinbutai, flown by Yamagushi Iichi, from Chiran, Kyushu, Japan 1945. The kit come straight from the 70's, from Mania, then taken up by Hasegawa. I can't tell much about the shape and dimensions, but it looks like a very nice little kit for its time, you have to see the details of rivets on the wings from close up to believe it. No wonder it's still released as it is by Hasegawa nowadays without any corrections! It was, like many others, an old build started a long time ago, with only a few parts as

Red edges on USN aircraft gear doors, a few questions...

Obviously, seeing the ordie on the upper right, this pictures was taken BEFORE the Ault report... -

Antoine replied to Antoine's topic in Research Corner
Hi there, Thanks everyone, and a special one for Tommy, you're really the man when it comes to USN. Also to Jari, who manage everytime to find cool USN aircrafts loadout pictures. -
I saw the picture on my first pass, thanks! Most probably a loadout for going north.
-
Just beautiful! First time I see this kind of loadout on an F-4C. Very well done!
-
Beautiful Mirage! Very well done, and in an highly interesting scheme! Congratulations!

A tiny Corsair... This one is already from two years ago. Hi There, Summer 1969, the world is waiting for the first human step on the moon. But, nearly unnoticed elsewhere, two Central American states, Salvador and Honduras, are about to declare war on each other. I'll not even try to explain all this, as Mario Overall & Dan Hagedorn are doing it fine in Helion's Latin America @war serie with their book "the 100 hour war" 1957, Salvador buy about twenty Corsair FG-1D (That is, build by Goodyear). But only five of them are still flyable in 1969, so FAS start working

Many thanks, Harry!

Hi there! Forgot to show you this one, in fact the first of 2024 before the Skyraider. When I'm in need of something to pump up the Mojo, Japanese army/navy fighters comes in handy!

Hi guys, I'm planning to build an Accurates 1/48 B-25D shortly, and my subject will be B-25D-1 s/n 41-30051 from 500th BS, 345th BG, as it show on Aeromaster 48-691 decal sheet. The aircraft was previously named "Boom boom". I've started to gather informations about the aircraft, but so far I've been unable to locate any pictures of my subject on the net. Aeromaster gives a few reference books, listed below: - B-25 Mitchell, NL Avery, Phalanx 1992 - History of aircraft nose art, Ethell Motorbooks 1991 - Scale Aircraft Modeller Int.

Red edges on USN aircraft gear doors, a few questions...
Antoine replied to Antoine's topic in Research Corner
Thanks Aaron, any idea about when USN started this? Thanks, Steve, I've also a few sets of gundam markers, and that was the idea. I'd get also a few days ago an AK marker to try their signal red, but SR is not as bright as needed, and beside, this SR from AK tend to be much more salmon to my eyes. -

Hi there! I've got a few questions related to USN aircraft from the 60's to 90's having the edges of gear doors painted red, as well as the inside of airbrakes or slats (I'm sure I forget about other place, like refueling probe...). - Does it started at the same time? I'm not sure, I feel the inside started first, then came the gear door edges? - Same time, or different time, when does it started? - There's probably an FS related to this specific red? - Was there a specific event linked to this? An accident or something? -
