    if the sikorsky collides with another scout or fighter I think its fair to say that the poor beggers in the tiny aircraft are on a one way trip to the ground

    Several months. They have been languishing in their box while I have finishing some other projects. i am excited to get working on them.


    Here's to them what are like us. Damn few and they're all dead.

    Default Little project finished

    Some recently finished, 1/350th scale, 3D printed model planes. Decal application was interesting.

    I have heard of downsizing Kevin but that is going a step further.
    Super work in that scale sir.

    Gorgeous work there, Kevin! Are they for your collection or some lucky customer's?

    I have managed to do a little work myself - here are four of the eventual six planes of my Jasta Greif. They will accompany my three griffons as they try to stem the Entente Tide late in the war... The Jasta's scheme is red and white, taken from the colors of the Hanseatic Crosses that the Hansastaedte awarded to their favorite sons and daughters. Since the griffons come from Greifswald and the Jasta is led by Kurt Wolff, Greifswald born and bred, it seemed only natural...

    Super little beasties, Kevin!

    "Interesting" is an understatement for decal application - I remember trying to put tail crosses onto my 1/285 Albatri
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    For sure, Dave - that's one of the things yet to do (I've done it before on repaints - it really makes a difference). I also have some griffon decals that Kevin/miscmini did for me to go on the fuselages... I am having fun with this little project and look forward to making more headway.

    Loving those Albacores, Rob! Are they a mix of resin and white metal? Who makes them? Stationed on Malta, I assume, or are they carrier-based?

    Matt

    The four sideways on are by our very own Clipper.
    The other two I thought were from Hannants although I can't find them now.
    I bought them about four years back.

    Sorry, Rob - I missed the post script below the photo... Now that you mention it, I do seem to remember Dave's pictures of his handiwork back then. They will be wonderful when you have them ready to fly Looking forward to seeimg them finished.

    Well, well, I have not looked at this thread for a short while. WoW - there's some great work going on. Special mention has to go to Tim - awesome buddy

    Love Rob's finished project too. That is cool indeed And that Pratt & Whitney engine is rather juicy

    Kevin - those 1/350th models look very smart indeed. Yea, the decal job musy have taken a lot of patience

    Bob, you must have an enormous collection by now. Nice work

    Thanks all for sharing. My own meagre effort saw the production of a Morane-Saulnier Type L and a Nieuport 10 earlier in the month. But the pics are already on another thread (OTT DYM) so I won't post them again.

    Pictures to take of the 12 planes I finished this week. 6 are additions to units I already have, 3 are of a new unit and 3 are a little different. I will get them posted tomorrow.

    So here is what I did this week. I had these painted but just put decals on them. 2 more Corsairs from the Bunker Hill. As always AIM models and MISCMINI decals.

    Then I added these Blenheim's for 60 Squadron. They are planes B, P, D (BPD). Now I will explain and Matt can back me up on this. What I did in the Army, when put in what we called the Header, you used a personal sign. This was your ID. The B was the shift (or as we called it Trick) you were on. So the B was for Trick 2. Thus my PS was BPD at a few of the places I was.

    And now for the something different I do. Here is a French DB 7. I did this as I thought it might look for the desert. Again I used the Indian head decal from the Hawk set for nose art. Other then that nothing special.

    You've been a busy boy, Bob! Pacific isn't my theater (as I've mentioned before) but your stuff always looks dang good...

    I was on D Trick myself - we rotated through the 'shifts' with 5 on and 2 off - but after about four months I snagged a day job, and my sleep patterns became 'normal' again.

    All the best,

    Well Steve I have 2 I am working on. May get them done before March but not sure. But wait what I have next month before Cold Wars.

    Matt when I was on Oki at Torii I was NCOIC of IATS so that was my day job for 1 year. Then became TC of trick 4. Even when I got to Devens as an instructor I was still on shift. Taught Learn Phase from 0600 to 1200. Then after Learn Phase went to 1200 to 1800 for Basic Morse. But then as Senior E7 was acting NCOIC of BMD for a few months. Last 2 1/2 years I was Ops Sgt for MCD so worked a day shift.

    Here's what's been driving me mental for the last month and a bit: a platoon's-worth of modern British infantry for Afghanistan, in MTP camo (never, ever, again ). They will make their operational debut at the Salute show in April.

    Yep 28mil, mostly Empress with some Eureka and Assault Group thrown in. Not sure what was worse - painting the camo or making and applying the subdued para wings and Union Jacks, and the Afghan flag patch. Next step is to do a Jackal, Foxhound and a Warthog.
