Very nice. 👍😊 Yes, Champ was another line for model railroad decals. The usual story, owners retired, no one to keep the line going. It was bought out, but just to sell off remaining decal sets. 😞 -
Classy looking markings, settling in nicely. I used to have a bottle of Champ setting solution. Champ had some of the thickest decals out there. Walthers was a close second. Definitely need a range of solutions for your situations.

Looks just like the work done stretching the P-80 into the T-33. Very nice job with your paint job, Craig. The finishes will be great.

Grant, I plan to try these out. And Jack thanks, I've used some Hunterline stains and like them. They're about as good as the old Floquil stains. I miss their Driftwood stain, but there are suitable substitutes available.

I think you've got the coloring on these boards down nicely. And the knots make it even better. Looks just like wood that's been out in the weather a long time. 👍 I'm going to try your technique on a wood flat car deck I have. Once upon a time there was a company, at least here in the US, that made a weathering solution that replicated this coloring, but he closed up shop a while back, with no replacement. I'll continue my search for a suitable substitute stain.

Kind of tough to see the ball in the race for those, eh? I just make jet whooshing sounds, while doing aileron rolls. 😉

Cripes, I thought you'd be finished before I signed on for this little adventure. Looking good.

Well done. And yes, the old Airfix decals were a chore applying. This one looks great. -
I'm in, too.

Craig, it does look like a 3D print. They removed the print rafts to fit into less space, the reviewer said. The resin used looks good.

Nice job on this one. Looking good. -
Informally called a Loach. Had something to do with the identifier.

Nice collection. Their callsign in Viet Nam was Nimrod. And they worked nights along the Ho Chi Minh trail. -
Well done on the prop and spinner.
-
Nice one. I'm in too.

Nice engineering work, Denis. And a good save with your extensions.

Do you have the whole launch complex? I was a fan of those odd WW II a/c, back in the day. Almost no aircraft of that era was too off the wall, outside of the Luftwaffe paper designs, the Luft '46 ones. I rediscovered trains and the rest is history. -
Well done. Fascinating development of your 3D printings. The ship is beautiful. And like OC said, get it cased.

Interesting technique for staining your boards, with the chalk and alcohol. I've used diluted paints and stains to do that. Whatever it takes to achieve a random look to your boards. You could add nail holes on your claps where your simulated internal structure underlays. Use a dividers set just less that the board widths and run along a steel straight edge. You could use a pounce wheel too, but the spacing may not work as well.

Maybe because it was relatively obscure. The B-17/24 were workhorse strategic bombers. The B-25 was in the Doolittle raid, which was a morale booster during the early war. The British twin engine bombers (Hampton, Blenheim) early on were not very effective due to development limitations pre-war. Then they developed the Mosquito and hit it out of the park.
