Thanks for the kind words!

It has been a long time posting a finished model here. For the past few years, I've been flying radio controlled airplanes, but a recent trip to the American Airpower Museum at Republic Airport in Farmingdale New York inspired me to build smaller scale models again. This is my latest effort: Tamiya's 1/48th P-47D Razorback. What a beautiful kit! The fit was awesome and the detail was amazing. I can't report any problems with building this plane, other than the decals were a little thick, and several of the stencils silvered, despite (what I thought was) a gloss coat before application. If I

There are people in this world who would take that sign's message as a dare. (And they're a ton of fun to party with)

If I had a nickel for every time the word "gauche" and my name were used in the same paragraph.... Looking good!

Looks good my friend!

Thanks all! @ Cameron: I bought them for a dollar at a craft store, they're unfinished pine... I stain them and polyurethane them @ Rodney: If only they'd make the A-3 in 1/48, I could die a happy man....

I guess this will be my "Class of 2011" a little early because I'm not getting any more done this year. Some more stuff in armor and cars too, check 'em out! Fujimi 1/72 A-4M Hobby Boss 1/48 F4F-3 Monogram 1/72 A-1E Hasegawa 1/72 A-3B

Good to see you back Roy...be well!

Great work Gino....looks awesome!

Besides modeling, I collect Smith and Wesson pistols, and do a lot of bike riding on Long Island with my bride.

Thanks!

The Monogram Classics are really good kits who have stood the test of time. Looks like you're off to a good start...keep us posted!

That's a nice build...I like the finish on the radome!

Outstanding work sir, and you're not alone on the "dropping models" department...I've dropped pretty much every model I've ever built at one point or another.

Thanks for the story behind the plane...and nice work on the build!

That kit brings back a lot of fond memories! Very well done!

Coming along quite nicely, my friend!

Here's a few recent rereleases for ya Fish: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXARMB&P=W http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXWGE6&P=W http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBJBF&P=W http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXYGM9&P=W And although its much more modern, this is going to be an IMMENSELY popular rereleased kit: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBGWU&P=W

You could get the Sword kit of the Bearcat...its better detailed, but more expensive.

Looking good Mario!

Hope you're doing well Roy...if you need anything let me know.

My block looks like there was no storm...and we have power, cable, phone and internet... the rest of my neighborhood looked like a bomb hit it. I got lucky. I also managed to get that pine tree dropped on Friday...they had that thing down and GONE in under a half hour!
