Got my Group A 635csi assembled. I started to put the decals on.. I had high hopes for these decals the paper looked great no extreme yellowing just some color transfer to the protective wax paper that lays on them. I got a couple on and then the ones after just started disintegrating. Idk why I use warm water and put a drop of dish soap to help them slide off but still didnt help. So I stopped until I can get new repros coming that can be handled.











Funny enough tomorrow my m635csi arrives I got it cause m88/s38 and then the day after my Rothmans 956. Picked this one up at store today.

Who makes that 914 kit? Is it 1:24? Are they out of production?



Thanks -

This 914 isn't the greatest build I've ever done, and also sat in a box for years lol.

Any of you NW guys seen the aircraft carrier model under glass at the Boeing Museum of Flight? It's like 4 feet long, covered with tiny little prop planes. Someone built it years ago and donated it to the museum.

Between airplanes, my son (in HS) decided to build a Fletcher class destroyer. He wanted to do a dazzle camouflage paint job, so we researched that whole idea and made out own. Lots of masking and unmasking! Then it had these minute photo-etched metal railings and details! I could hardly see this stuff without a magnifying glass, and he snipped and fabricated away.

(Black plane is a British plywood Mosquito bomber - can you imagine strapping Allison engines onto a plywood plane?)

In fact, I wish I had the time and patience to do this.

Also, to all the other guys posting here as well, great stuff!!

^^^ Agree on all these nice models!

I'm noticing in the pics I have that three different airplanes got built during the long Land Rover excursion! We have a small historic air force on shelves now, and a couple of ships he did.

OK, that's about enuf Land Rover, don't you think? Here it is fairly finished. More trim and details, mirrors, work lights, tow rope, roof rack and ladder, the folding roof tent, extra diesel cans on the roof, and a water jug "washing machine"... I actually saw this in an overland journal - they put their dirty clothes, some water and soap in the orange jug lashed onto the roof rack and drove across the desert all day. Everything was nice and clean.

Oh, look - a wild Spitfire has appeared!






I love the front. You can see I'm shitty at glass!

[LateFan]

Then a wild Dauntless dive bomber appeared! Amazing we didn't mix up any parts and paint things the wrong colors.


Gear! If you're going to go across Africa, you need some gear! Found a bunch of stuff to 1:24 scale, hand-painted to make it look more real. Our shop has a huge train section and they had a bunch of equipment and tools.

So it has tool boxes, tools, water cans, bags of rice and relief supplies, extra fuel...
