Found several others that need to make it to the paint booth...





also dredged this out of the pile on the workbench and started back on it. Might have it ready for the paint booth by next weekend..

Dragon is also greedy then. The kit is not worth $61. It has very little detail, some fit issues. It's quality is about that of a Testors kit. (actully Testors has better surface detail). $20 would have ben a better price.

However I do plan to do an expermental camo on it...

I have put the 1/32 scale 262 on the back burner again. I realized that the curved cockpit tub I built in is much to large and am fighting the urge to tear it all out and start again. So before I turn the wheel wells into goo I stopped working on it for a while. I might finish rescribing wings and tails every now and then.

I enjoy posting my progress here, all of my progress not just the success parts, the failures too. That way I hope you guys cal avoid the mistakes I made, or tell me how I could have avoided them.

These are a pair of cheesy 1/72 scale tanks by Armourfast. I am going to see if they can be turned into something worth looking at...one is a base line for the other...

They believe now it was the rocket probably from a Typhoon that destroyed Michael Wittmann's Tiger. Love me some Tiffie.

Don't mind the fact that the tails had a bad habit of braking off in flight on the early versions of the Typhoons (something that ruined the day for a good number of pilots )...hence the reinforcing around the fuselage just in front of the tail...
