Nose of an E model and J model are light years different. The J is closer to a D model, without the "protrusion" under the nose. That was a never installed IRSTS and ECM antennae. The E model is 6 feet longer, due to the Gatling gun installation. My buddy Mike spent a lot of time on alert at Eglin AFB, wiring up the hydraulics and whatnot in the wheel wells while we sat Air Defense Alert on the Gulf Coast, protecting Alabama and the Florida panhandle from whoever intruded our airspace. 😁 -
Happy to help, Denis.😄

Gonna need a shoehorn to get all of them into the farm. 😄 looks very good, mate.

That first pic was quite convincing, OC. Keep them coming, as you can.

Those old ca kits sometimes used card stock car sides. I have a few published in O, S HO and N scales in modeling magazines. You got some Northeastern Models wood floors, roofs and end blocks at the local hobby shops. Get some trucks and couplers, a bottle or two of Floquil paint and maybe some brake parts. Voila, a nice car for your layout. 😉 Most folks don't build kits like those any more. Can't wait to see what you come up with, Denis my buddy.

Denis, they disappeared years ago. May have gone into QualityCraft, going into GloorCraft... They did a lot of logging equipment for detailing backwoods sawmills and other old facilities. May have to check HOseeker.com for their instruction sheets. Post a picture of the refrigerator car. Another old train supplier that went away in the 60s, maybe? Is it mostly wood and white metal parts? May be able to give you a steer for generic parts. Your assembly bird is progressing nicely. Brave painting the red and white stripes without going pink. Operation Petticoat, anyone?

A MER (Multiple Ejector Rack) centerline with SDBs (Small Diameter Bombs). They're a lighter but more accurate bomb, in current use. Nasty loadout.

Mike, you'll need to load it up with some Maverick missiles, targeting pod and a self protection IR air to air missile. It's really a big gun platform. Great jet.

German Army, not the Luftwaffe. Der Dicke.

Your build is coming along great. Having the KGL figures in fighting stance looks terrific.

Same issues in model railroad passenger cars. Floors are too thick, so the seated folk are double amputees just below the knees. They bring the cars to life, but our modeling materials are nowhere near scale thinness to permit using full figures. If you can work them in, the model will pop.

If I might add: The ship's crest goes up near the bow. Hopefully there may be a shield shape molded between the anchor and the bow. Need better photos to see where the name plates go.

Good job on your first airbrush session. Great info from Craig and Alan. I've read and seen on the YouTube vids a technique to put a drop or two of flow improver into the paint cup with your conditioned paint. Opinions, gents?

I'm in, over top of you; flying cover, it you will. Taking a chair up here in the loge. Toss a pop up here, will you, OC? 😄

Pond looks great, especially since it's was for the ducks. A few puddles will really make the ground "pop". Coming along nicely.
-
This is an Extra, not a scheduled job with a timetable to hold to. That marine leg looks very good. Well done.

I got a deep laceration on my arm some time back. The usual home remedies failed to staunch the blood flow, so off to the Emergency Room I went. The good doctor gave me a tetanus shot and dabbed CA in the cut. Now I have a small scar where the cut healed up. Like Mark said, this was developed during the Viet Nam War for rapid "suturing".

Neat build of the monitor, Chris. And a very nice display.Well done.

OC, the pond started out looking good. The color is very good. Like others have said, let the resin do it's own thing as it sets.
-
Amen to that. Be safe.

Another nicely done project, Denis. Spruced up an ancient kit and included a history lesson to boot. Thanks.
