Re: My flying career - DHC-2 Beaver

This is looking to be a intersteing build to me. We see them all the time over here but with floats. The kit looks to be a very thick plastic from the pictures? If so.. lots of room for sanding off that top section for a nice seamless joint. The oversized rivets... My honest opinion... I wouldn't wo...

Re: Asian Modern GB-1/72 scale Shinmeiwa WIP

Thanks for all the comments everyone. I must say. When this kit is done. I'll stay away from older kits for now on. For a basic kit that I thought... It's turned out to be a nightmare. If I get one piece to fit without filler. It'll be a miracle. I have the wings almost done and painted. The fuselag...

Re: Asian Modern GB, Chinese JL-8

Nice work with this one. It's always hard to do red on white... I trashed an earlier Snowbirds CT-144 kit a year ago because of the same problem with huge runs that couldn't be corrected. Nice to see something new. :clap:

Asian Modern GB-1/72 scale Shinmeiwa done to late

Here we go.. Just started my Asian group build the Shinmeiwa. I started this on Saturday and here is where I sit today waiting for the glue to dry fully. The kit so far is a horrible fit. The lack of spars to keep the fuselage spaced apart is one major problem. Another is the very basic instructions...

The only problem was working out time to edit,upload then post. So I just ended up finishing the kits. I'm seeing some very nice work done ...

this may sound like a odd question...

As the topic says... How do you get the chairs on the grass front? I like mach 3 for the higher up. But for some reason I am thinking there are to be better chances at pictures from the low areas. So what is that row? Mach 1,2 or 3? and how do you get them? If I can get one of those chairs by reques...

Had a little fun before the GB

After working many hours in the past two weeks. Also hunting down kits for the GB.. I found this kit in a hobby shop. It had "Buy" me writtin all over it. Not an entry to the Asian GB.. Just more of a side fun project. Hasegawa's egg F-4 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/Fumbles/K20Te...
