Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Bruce, what an exceptional job on that camouflage! in the black and white comparisons I cannot determine which is your plane and which is the real one in the period photo! Wow, your skills far outpace mine man! I'm so thrilled to see your work progress.

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Duke! Duke! Duke!
You are too kind, but I am grateful. Very grateful. I’m happy with the camo, too! These oils darken just a tad as they cure so the colors have improved! I’m very excited.
Also, is there Hobby Day this month or did I miss it?

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
You're welcome Bruce!
Yes, there was a Hobby Day and you did miss it. It was on Friday the 12th and Saturday the 13th this past weekend. I cooked steaks and mashed potatoes, others brought salad, dinner rolls and birthday cake. I had my An-124 there so that my friend Harmon could get measurements to make a box for it to transport to shows. I also got a lot done on several vehicles which can be seen on my Maddog Manufacturing thread. The next one will be the second Saturday in April. I hope you can add that to your calendar and be able to attend. I still have your Hellcat to deliver!

Bruce! The wings look amazing!
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

I’m with Clint! I love the way that streaking looks on the wing.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Thanks so much, Carlos! I’m letting the oils cure for a few more days before I use UV Flat Clear to stabilize/fix them.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
That is lovely paint work!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
