Very nice work there Cory, and I like the display plinth. Those blue 'shapes' are known as 'Bluishconfusus', designed to puzzle the **** out of us non-educated types !!

Thanks Terry. I have a few stands, but I still need to stain them!

Nicely done Cory, like the stand as well.

I echo the post above.

The stand is a very cool idea and a very unique way to mount the aircraft. Wonder if you could convert them to optical fiber cable and shine a light into the plane and in effect light it up? And also a really nice job on the build

 

[Catch22]

Thanks guys!

I've seen people run fiber optics into their models to light up the cockpits Mike, though not something I'm comfortable with tackling.

I recall a model similar to yours. The guy put leds in the engine, cockpit, anti-collision, landing lights and cannon (different colors too) had two different colors in the engine to simulate low power, high power and after burner. the stand was a control panel in effect where he could control all lights plus a small speaker which made appropriate sounds.

Wow, that'd be cool to see! I think it'd just burn my house down! My dad actually rigged a 1/32 Corsair on a stand that has a working engine so the prop spins.

 

[mikewint]

That's neat, Personally I'm glad I can get the regualr parts together correctly, painted, and decaled

 

[Catch22]

Me too Mike. I'm more concerned with getting a decent paint finish.

Here's another long term project I've just finished. Not from WW II, but, a neat little airplane. 1/72 scale testors T-45. This model depicts the prototype for the US Navy trainer version of the BAE hawk. I like to leave the model sit at least a week between colors or masks so I've been at this one for a while.
