Here is one of my latest completions. As the title says it is the Tamiya 1/48 A6M5c that I completed out OOB. Painted with Vallejo paints and I used the salt technique to get the chipped paint look. Thanks for looking, Sean

yep..pretty sure it is just a straight us mail logo

edited: Looks like a US postal logo. ...doing more research for a better picture Sean

I should be getting my f shot in a few weeks. My neighbourhood has been flagged as a "hotspot" The sooner the better in my opinion...working in aviation means I am constantly coming into contact with high risk people. Sean

The Commemorative air forces B-25 "Show me" has been added!! Sean

pictures have been fixed. Sean

Kursad, they are your decals. Love them!! Had one issue with the wing roundels peeling off even after solva set and gloss coat, but thats probably user error. Just went with the post-68 roundel to fix it and gonna hope most people dont notice. sean

I dont know. I recently had my site upgraded to an https, but now this is happening. I may have to go onto the tech support and get it figured out. thanks for letting me know. sean

looks great!! Love the details and you paint is perfect. Sean

some minor progress. I have been pocking away at the little things, mostly getting the black areas painted. below you will see the nose, cowlings and de-icing boots getting painted. I am hoping to have this done in a week or so. Sean

some minor progress. I have been focusing on the minor things I need to do to get this finished. below you will see pictures of the yellow leading edge stripes, the exhausts, and the canopy . Sean

some minor progress. I have been plugging away on some of the smaller things that need to be done and I hope to have this finished in a week or so. Below are picture sf the wing walks, exhausts and drop tank. Sean

some progress. I have been slowly plugging away at all the little things that need to be done. pictured below are jsut the exhausts, bombs and missles. Should have this done in a week or so..hopefully. Sean

http://www.patches-military.com/store/p65/ASAT_F-15_Satellite_Killer_5"_Patch.html No idea how safe this site is..but after a bit of slogging through google, this is the only site I could find that "sells" one Sean

There is always the Floppotron version. And yes...It is called a Floppotron. Sean

The revell of germany instructions seem to show the doors sliding up, with the interior green showing. sean

It looks liek the D model slid up into the nose lwhile the J opened out. http://www.martinsammodels.com/Webpage/Pages/Real Aviation/Walkarounds/B-24/pictures/b2442728438.jpg Sean

1/48 Tutor. could you imagine!! Sean

Yeesh. Yay. Ill pass. Someone closer to you will be the lucky buyer!!

B-25 yellow rose added. That makes 9 B-25’s now!!!

ohh..that hustler is tempting. Do you know what the shippig to Ottawa, Ontario would be...roughly. I feel like that will be a deal breaker. Sean

Rumour is that F4U-4 Korean War Hero will be there doing a Legacy Flgith with some Growlers. I will confirm when I hear. Sean

the cowlings never really fit the best on that but It should fit a bit better than that. have you tried to pry the edges out a bit as you push the upper one down? are you able to post some picture of the engine area with the cowlings off? it kind of looks like the side frames arent connected to the forward circular bulkhead. you can compare to my build below... https://www.martinsammodels.com/Webpage/Pages/Models/Comission builds/Pages/Spitfire/Y2K/Finished/Pictures/011.jpg Sean

Im in!! If you need any ground floor support let me know. Im sure you have research covered, but im willing to help if needed!!! sean

Looking back through my build log, it looks like I installed mine near the end after painting and didnt seem to have any issues. I built mine right after it cale out so I don’t really remember any details from building it. Here is my log. https://www.martinsammodels.com/Webpage/Pages/Models/My models/pages/Spitfire/32nd/building/32nd.htm sean
