Hello, Here is a conversion of the Academy/Minicraft 1/144 B-24J into an early C-87. The C-87 was a cargo/troop version of the B-24D. It had a rather poor reputation, in part due to numerous crashes while flying “the Hump”. The nose art is “Hump Happy”. The decals are ALPS printed. The olive drab/neutral gray paint is Mr. Color lacquer. The conversion required modifying the nose to a shorter solid piece and adding many side windows. The small windows were done with Kristal Klear and decal film. The gun turrets are gone. The tail has been modified and corrected.

Hello, Here is a scratch-built X-56A MUTT. The X-56A is a small unmanned Flying Wing which was built to test ways to overcome wing flutter. This model was built to be part of the First Flights Wall display at the AFFTC Museum at Edwards AFB. The model was carved from sheet polystyrene and the decals are ALPS printed. The paints are Testors and Tamiya. David Muroc Models

Hello, I finally finished the YRB-49A for the Museum at Edwards AFB. It is a large model with a 2 1/2 foot span. It will be displayed on the "First Flights Wall", which is a 1/72 collection intended to include everything which made its first flight at Edwards. These are all built with blue painted canopies and gear up. The kit started out as a YB-49 by AMT. The conversion replaces the intakes, exhausts, canopy and other parts, while adding the engine pods. The resin set (with decals and vacuformed clear parts) is available for $59 plus postage. The decals are ALPS printed. P
