Quickies





Threw this together to break the monotony of other things I'd been working on. The tiger mouth P-40 is Academy's P-40e straight from the box. The other P-40 and P-47 are older Minicraft kits. The P-40 has a hodgepodge of decals and the P-47 has aftermarket decals. They will be mounted to an in flight base soon as I get some metal rods and something to mount them to.

F/A-18F "Diamondbacks"





Another recent completion. Italeri kit (which was crap and totally inaccurate but I don't care) and aftermarket decals. The kit came with an aftermarket resin cockpit set when I bought it as well so it's nicely detailed there.

The Duke of Paducah




So I realized I've neglected this for a while. This is the 3rd of the 1/48 B-17s finished about a month ago.

Tiger Girl complete



This was supposed to be Thunderbird but the decals shattered. Had these decals left on another sheet so I decided to use them. Technically the aircraft is wrong as Tiger Girl was a late F early G with the chin turret but the F top turret and no cheek blisters. Still turned out ok.
