Well, here are my first efforts, all 1:72
this P-47 was my first effort, a Revell kit. Nothing special about it, or the photo for that matter. Was more an experiment than anything else
Then there is this Hasegawa F4U. Easy enough to assemble, but the painting posed a problem. I tried both Tamiya Sea blue and Humbrol Glossy Sea Blue, but neither looked remotely right. So in the end I cheated a bit, raided my car spares box and sprayed it Volkswagen Maritime Blue. A couple of the decals didn't settle properly, hence the white outline. Perhaps it needs some sort of decal cote?
Moving onto the main one, the Tamiya F-51D Koren War. This one I sprayed with metallic effect paint, which gave it a good natural metal sheen. I did quite a bit of weathering on this one (not that clear in the photos) and used a very thing pencil in the panel lines to darken them, and chipped a lot of the black and yellow paint off. I decided against fitting the rockets, as my next projects will have them, and it upsets the shape as well. I also cut the outer flaps out and put them slightly down, and re-angled the ruder
Finally wrong forum I know but my main love is of the 4 wheeled kind and this is my 1:24/5 car collection
from the elft: Camaro Yenko, 69 Charger R/T, Corvette Le Mans, Raybrig NSX, Castrol Supra, Lancia Stratos Safari, 200 SX S13, RX-7 and unfinished Falken Skyline and Fiat 131 Rallye
Like I said, nothing special, but not too bad considering they were my first efforts in about 10 years. More to follow!
