                ^^^ 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.

                  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.

                    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.

                    .

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

                      Thanks -

                          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.
