Hello everyone, Still looking for a suitable opportunity to take and post pictures of the finalized DC-4 but in the meantime I've started building this very detailed P-38 Lightning, a long cherished wish. It took a while to: inventorize the twelve densely printed parts sheets (there are some 1300 individual parts to work through including plastic/metal rod reinforcement parts) study the detailed and numerous instruction drawings translate some Polish and come to the conclusion that building order according to part numbering is very recommendable check out some detailed P-38 information (tha ..read more

PHOTOS 1 and 2 The kit parts pages were photographed using a hand held camera therefore resulting printed parts were expected to have fit problems. I just wanted to do a test build from parts reduced and printed on letter size card stock. PHOTO 3 Reduced parts laminated on Frosted Flakes cereal box top cardboard placed over original parts page. PHOTO 4 Bulkheads attached; cereal box top images are visible. PHOTO 5 Adding panels yes fit problems did require extra effort. PHOTOS 6 , 7 and 8 Used .010 lead wire to create railings. I cannot use cyanoacrylate and relied on Alien’s Tacky glue ..read more

Once again? As "monster models" I call all my cardboard models, whose size exceeds the usual dimensions, i.e. models that measure more than 50 cm, I have built a considerable number of these cardboard models over the years. All was captured by with the digital camera or smartphone. With the Me 323, the collection has grown again by one model. I think it is worth seeing for cardboard modelers, what I have built in the course of time on large models. Behind each of the pictures there is always a building report, which I wrote here or in the german forums about cardboard modeling. Attached Ima ..read more

Hello all :) After getting a little burnt out on the alizé i decided to convert my e-2 hawkeye design into a c-2 greyhound. Given all the commonality between the two, this was a pretty quick design but still took some work to get that fuselage shape right. Here are the pics of the prototype—note that the rear fuselage had an alignment error that has since been corrected. I plan on doing a couple of liveries for the greyhound and of course will release them here. I hope you enjoy!

The first X-15 I built in my current 1/48th-scale series was 66670 depicting its first powered flight, 1-2-7, on 23 January 1960. But as X-15s go, the more historical “first flight” one would be X-15-2, 66671, which made the program’s first powered flight on 17 September 1959. I plan to build it somewhere along the line. I decided to backdate my build of 1-2-7 to depict 66670’s first free flight, 1-1-5, which was a glide flight. The flight on 8 June 1959, with test pilot Scott Crossfield at the controls, was the only glide flight of the entire X-15 program. 66670’s markings were the same on ..read more
