Hi guys! I'm a new member. I think this site is really great. I am an avid WWII modeler, usually planes and armor. I am looking forward to learning from and sharing with all of you.

Hi! Any specific type of planes do you model?

I tend to gravitate towards any WWII aircraft in 1: scale. I have a gallery at hobbytalk.com in the model section.

Here is a link to my gallery:

I will post some pics here when I learn the ins and outs of this forum.

Nice. Do you use an airbrush, looks like it.

 

[machine shop tom]

Yes, I use an airbrush. This is the first batch I have used one on. The Me109 is the first model I have used a double-action airbrush on. The Avenger and Wildcat are modeled after planes that flew from my Dad's CVE.

The Spitfire was built by my 10-year old son. He hand painted the cammo.

You fly/flew Ospreys....wow, I just had one go past the house about 2 weeks ago. I had never seen or heard one before. Damn...what a thrill it was just for a moment seeing that dude go by in level flight. And the props holy cow they are huge. Sorry to say I heard him coming a ways off but we have thick air here on the northwest coast. How much power that is, it must feel fantastic.

Damn nice siggy Wurger!

THX DerAdler. And I'm still impressed by yours.
