March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
I’m pretty much kinda figured that. I’ve got a photo of my dad’s ship but I need more reference photos. I’m pretty sure it was late 50’s to early 60’s. I have to look at my dad’s Navy paperwork on when he served on the Wadleigh. He was also on a destroyer escort, USS Courtney - the last ship he was on before the end of his Navy commitment.Stikpusher wrote:That’s a beautiful kit Tom. You’re gonna love it. But if you’re going to build it in a 50’s fitting, you’ll need to get some different parts, such as the AA guns and radars.

Yeah no. The glue and brushes are okay (I do actually use tube glue on a lot of builds), but the paint - nah. Humbrol acrylics aren't the best in big pots, let alone small ones.tempestjohnny wrote:Glue is good. Brushes decent. Paint
Probably won't do the Tiger meet markings, as I'll be building this as a B.

Tom here is the Navsource photo page on USS Wadleigh. Definitely some good reference photos here.

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
I’ve had a few new items arrive over the past couple of weeks, so now I have enough worth posting…
First up, for the Academy 1/48 Hawker Hunter that I’ve had in my stash for ages, a cockpit set to replace the very under scale kit parts.
Then this nice old Accurate Miniatures 1/48 US ordnance set to correct or change some load outs on a few of my future builds… always nice to have!
and last but not least, a new improved more accurate better replacement for the Hobbycraft La-5FN that I built last week for my great nephew…
That’s all for now…

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Funny you should post that Tornado, Johnny!
I just bought this:
After watching someone else build the italeri tornado in Gulf War colours, I knew I had to do one too. But I think I may take my own spin on it... I want to base it in pink first then pre-shade then in the desert tan. I think that will give some nice colouration.

Nice score Declan! The Tornado is one mean looking aircraft!
