Nice build, Phil. Captain Eddie turned out well. 👍 -
Phil, those open corrugated cardboard pieces keep the build strong? And they're thin enough? That's a good cost saver.

Nice work, fitting that coupler box. Very handy tool. -
Amen on those Amodel kits. You did a good job wrestling this one into a recognizable Yak. Well done. I look forward to your next aircraft project. 👍
-
Interesting story, Alan. I'm in.😉

Nice color combination. Back in the day, they really liked to show off the mechanicals with bright paints. -
I'd bet you will do great. I have faith. 😁
-
You've got the knock-kneed look down, Chris. 👍
-
Waiting to see your chipping.

Glad to read things are looking better for you these days, Alan. Your continuing with your hobby are a good portion of that. You're doing a very nice job wrestling with this A Model Yak. As I remember, it has tandem mains and pogos at the wingtip positions. Sort of like our B-47/52 models and the U-2. Your BMF are looking pretty good, especially your Dragon.😁

let me add my kudos for a superb NMF Tempest.
-
Very well done, Keith. I especially like your crew; adds some life.

I wouldn't give up on resin, based on one manufacturer.I believe this kit is one of their first issues. Their resin then has been replaced by better resins for we modelers. The resins do use CA glue, not plastic cements of wood glues. Look at the detail parts you get from Model Monkey and other aftermarket providers. They are superbly detailed. And there are some plastic kit makers who do limited run kits with no alignment pins, which will give many folks fits. Search around on various websites to get an idea on who makes the model closest to what you want to build. I use scalemates.com, steelnavy.net and modelwarships.com to begin a search.

Your aircraft and figures really add life to the Big E. Well done. Only nit is the officers on the bridge were in khakis and black shoes, not dress whites or dungarees. 😉😁

That thing is oddly cool, Rob.

Mine was a green one with the wrap around grey belly. Think they called a NATO or European scheme. No pale gray. And there were gaps between the unpianted titanium plates; enough to be able to shake the plates. 😲 I have a partial disability with the VA medical system for what happened over time to my c-spine, thanks to the cumulative physical stresses inherent to high G operations. But I'm happy to have been able to have my flying career.🫡

Nice explanation of the hairspray chipping technique. And I love the job you did on the hot section of the F-4. I had an up close and personal look at one I had been flying during my weapons school training. We went thru jet wash and had the artificial feel system go out. A nice 3-4 G turn became an instantaneous 10.5 G fight to get the jet back under our control. Pilot did a great job getting us recovered back at our base. During our post flight walk around, we could rattle the the "alligator skinning" around the tailhook. We broke those bolts. You could use a little more burnt metal in those curved areas. 😉😁

Quite the suitably ugly bucket of bolts you have there, Greg. Well done. -
Really like the ceiling treatment. And the wood looks great to me. 👍
-
Aw, too bad about the titanium. The area under the tail (alligator skinning, we called it) of an F-4 is mostly titanium and the inner portion on the stabilator is also, I think. But the steel color would suit. Seeing your application makes me more of a believer in the AK line.
-
Nicely done. And I echo Rob's recommendation.
-
That steel looks excellent, Rob. I've been impressed with the AK product line ever since I saw a presentation on their uses in structures and diorama building. Keep up the good work.

Alan, having associated with a number of Lightning pilots at Gutersloh RAFG base in the mid 70s, I propose a Lightning 2 in NMF for your quality build. I built a Matchbox one in their dark Green over silver scheme for 92 Squadron. Please. 😉
-
Superb job. Quite nicely done. And good luck with the move and training.
