SPA Modeler

Thanks guys! That looks very sharp! The colors of the 357th always look good on OD or NMF. But I am a bit surprised to see bombs instead of drop tanks on this one. :hmm: I spent a little bit of time thinking about it, and decided to go with bombs because of all the mission markings on the nose. Acco...

Here's my Mustang in the markings of "Pappy's Answer" of the 364th FS, 357th FG. She was shot down on September 19, 1944 and pilot LT Jerome Jacobs spent the rest of the war as a POW. Any comments/critiques are welcome. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48745665848_2849d6b258_z.jpg https...

Thanks guys! I finished her up, overall a nice kit with no real problems other than what I made for myself. Here's a preview, the rest of the pics will be in the Finished section.

Thanks guys!

Those are some cool pics! I spent some time fixing the stripes before decals and panel line wash. Some of the decals gave me some trouble, especially the checkerboard around the nose and "Pappy's Answer" which shattered on the model. A bit of patience got most of it back together and I pai...

Thanks for pointing that out Stik! I guess that's what I get for following the instructions :lol: . I did a bit of looking around and found a picture of Pappy's Answer and sure enough there are no invasion stripes on the top wing. https://obscureco.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/storch_no-_1.jpg Would ...

So I got quite a bit of painting done before the new school year starts. The masking for the invasion stripes isn't perfect, but I like the way it looks since they weren't perfect in 1944 either https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48633474227_3052f65a17_z.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4863...

Thanks guys!

Most of the main assembly is done. Now on to paint

Thanks guys! So I got the fuselage together: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48539534546_a1e9c7ef7f_k.jpg Next up is the wings. The ports for the machine guns are just holes so I figure I need to put something in there. At first I thought I could use some sprue and drill some holes in the ends, ...

For my next build I'll be tackling Revell's 1/48 P-51B. I'll be doing the markings of "Pappy's Answer" of the 364th FS, 357th FG. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48529640056_bcee5a51b5_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48529641901_fb2ac60279_k.jpg So far I've finished up the co...
