Proof That I Build Models

[Jschmus]

M113 Fire Support Vehicle

This is the Tamiya 1/35 kit, minus the commander's machine gun.  I built it in high school and it has followed me all of my days.  I shot the picture a couple of days ago with my digital.

Here's what lies in the future:

Unbuilt, Part One

All 1/72 aircraft and accessories

Everything else

This is odds and ends, bigger 1/72 aircraft, 1/48 aircraft, PL 1/1000 starships, and assorted mecha.  The highlights would be the original AMT 1967 Klingon Battlecruiser and the FineMolds X-Wing Fighter (both bottom left).

Out of both pictures are all the unboxed kits, including some 1/2500 Star Trek stuff.

The only thing missing is a 1/350 Enterprise A!

Looks good, Jay !

You seem to be a big fan of the Corsair.......let's see a few of those first...I'll take RCAF and RCN

Nice M113 Jay. But , although it's proof you build kits(or atleast one  ), seems like lots more are waiting to be build so get cracking there

There's only three, if you count the F4U and the A-7s.  That one on the second shelf is an oddball: 1/100 scale, by some outfit called BEN Models.  I wish I'd bought the rest of the line when I found them at the dollar store four or five years ago.  They had two different A-4s and some twin-engine Yak fighters and bombers.  But the wife said, "You can have one."  

I'd like to buy the 1/350 Refit, but Gods, that thing is huge!

[Captain Canada]

I thi k you need more A-7s, then......so you should trade that Rev F-5B for my Fuji A-7D !



And WTF is this ? Holding out on us, eh ? Vee have ways of makeeng you talk ! Were's vesperonovich when you need him ?

Todd, I hate to say it, but that one's not really mine.  I found the image in the gallery of some MSN modeling group (I forget which one).  The image was labeled as it is there, HS1201-6, a light fighter project.  I think it dates from the same period as Thorvic's SABA project.  I've never been able to find any more info on the project.  Maybe someone here knows something.

As to the F-5/A-7 trade, I'm game.  PM me.

[Captain Canada]

Maybe it's from Martin's pages ?

the what if and oddball model group, that's an MSN deal !

Yeap thats the Hawker 1201-6  from 1976 and its in "British Secret Projects - Fighters". I did see the wind tunnel model for it at Manchester Air & Space museum last year. Also has a reclining seat to possibly lower G effects.
