ErnieL Posted May 15, 2020 #1 Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) I’m a sucker for T-28s. The white B was the first built in the USA The SEA AT-28D-5 is a heavily kibashed B The T-28C was a pre production kit built as the KH display model Edited May 15, 2020 by ErnieL Old Collingwood, Jack12477, Landlubber Mike and 11 others 14 Quote On the bench: Vanguard Models 1/64 HMS Speedy On Deck: Vanguard Models 1/64 Zulu, Vanguard Models 1/64 Fifie, Victory Models 1/72 HMS Bellerophon
ErnieL Posted May 15, 2020 Author #2 Posted May 15, 2020 The night stalker as the only one I had freedom on. The other two were built for others and they had to be built exactly as shown, including the lemon flippin’ yellow. I’m looking to revisit the Zorro’s attack bird and perform a few updates like reducing the sheen on the figures. Plus a yellow trainer with me having some freedom to work is on my short list. Commission builds are nice, but building to spec can be a real drag.

We have reality, we have what the mind remembers of reality, and then, most of the fun of modeling comes from trying as best we can at making our remembered reality match actual reality in the chosen mediums available.... You will eventually find that reducer machine brother, it's there, the journey is in figuring out how to get it to work for us as individuals.
