Don't really like to toot my own horn, but I have started a Youtube channel that has some basic "how to" videos as well as some time lapse of my builds. Slowly adding more content as I have the time.

Now that is interesting. I have never seen a Balsa kit with a solid fuselage like that!! I have never heard of that company so i can't comment on rarity or value, but it is neat!

If I’m seeing thing right, Kitlinx is showing pre orders available for the 1/144 B-36B kit as ROD347, and another pre order for ROD737 which is a 1/72 B-36B.
Are we we getting a new tool 1/72 Peacemaker too?

Looks like a typo. The picture is of a WWI type truck and if you search that product number you get many mentions of a WWI pigeon truck.

why not just make a little masking tape cone "party hat" or just a cylinder and then stick it to the top of the bomb. if you plan your measurements out right you will get it close to the diameter you need and it should stick enough that with just a slight bit of pressure stay in place while painting.

you can always get the Guillows balsa kit. It was a pretty large model!

Does the -111 have a kit with it or is it just aftermarket?

I promised pictures from the main landing gear, especially from the "misaligned" main wheel axles. So, here we go:
LH Main landing gear. I draw red lines for the axles and yellow lines for the wheel positions.
WHAAAAA!!!!
12 years of working an FBO ramp and countless Hawkers and I have never noticed that! Typical British design. I do like the way you can never install the towbar wrong or forget to disconnect the steering...but why do the nose gear doors have to be so complicated!!!
great work on the model BTW.. I have always wanted to build some corporate jets..but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Be careful joining the wings to fuselage. I knocked the seats and stuff out many many times.
Between that and the leading edge extensions, the wing-fuselage joint is my biggest worry. I am also planning an Alclad finish so I need to get it perfect.

This is one of the kits I am currently working on. It is the monogram Pro-modeller F-15E. I plan on using the kit decals and finishing it as the tiger meet bird. I am not sue on weapons right now but think I may go with som Mk.82's to compliment the GBU-10's that are in the kit. I will make a final decision closer to the end of the build.
right now the cockpit is painted gray, as well as the black areas around the cockpit and the wheels. I also painted the landing gears bits white...but those pictures will be in my next update.
Thanks for looking,

This is one of the current builds I am working. It is Eduard's P-39Q weekdn edition and includes PE and masks. So far it is going together nicely. I have pained the cockpit and interior parts green as well as the wheels and props black. I am focusing on a commission build so work on this as well as the others is a little slow right now.

This is one of the current builds I am working on. It is Tamiya's A6M5c Zero. It is an older tooling, but with a bit of work should look great. So far I managed to get the cockpit panted as well as the tires and forward cowling black. I plan on tying to do some interesting weathering on this to make it look used an abused.
Thanks for looking,

This is one of the next models I have started to build. It is the Revell C-45 (ICM moulds) that I will be building as a 1950's RCAF bird using the Belcher Bits extended leading edge parts.
work will be a little slow on this for a while as I focus on a side commission project that I have a timeline for.
The leading edge part was glue on, and then promptly fell off. I will have to re-install it once I have the wings assembled. I still need to do a bit of cleanup and sanding to get it to fit perfectly.
Thanks for looking,

E-3 Sentry confirmed. Not too often you see these flying at airshows!!

It is shocking how steep those were in a dive....your display shows it very well. Very effective.
Thanks!! It's actually a little shallower than it should have been, but the bomb cradle got in the way (I didn't really think of that when I modified it) so I was limited to that angle.

Dug it out. Looks like I gave away the green/gray nm bird but seem to have the main parts left for the gray/gray bird. It is missing some, like the new mexico title for the tail and some of the smaller details
the decals between the gray/green and gray/gray share a bunch.
i can give you the roundels, the tail code and the tail logo, but thats about it. Sorry..thought it was more complete than this

I will dig out the sheet later tonight when i get home and let you know what i have left for those scheme.

1/48 Hobby Boss MV-22 Osprey Announced

nice. I am still sitting on the ancient testors kit. I had planned to do some scratch building, fold it up and then tuck as far back on the shelf as I can.
I may upgrade to this if it can be folded.
