JOHNHM ,hush I don't have a permit for this one
More guns

[Brian da Basher]

Woah! More guns! Excellent! You can never have too many guns!

Brian da Basher

P.S. If you want a couple of cowling guns like on a P-36, you can cut off a couple of those nubby sprue gates and carve, sand the back end to fit, like I did on my suped-up version:

Oooohh, two-tone green with DEI AF triangles ?

Super cool BdaB please send more pictures or a link to this thread. This one will get more wing guns ,but I do have plans for cowling guns on another project
I the HG ,please explain(remember I am from Texas) 

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Sorry.... didn't mean to come-off as a smarta*se !

DEI AF - Dutch East Indies Air Force - Dutch forces in Indonesia, Brewster Buffalos' and P-36 Hawks wore OD and US Med Green camo (very effective over the jungle) National markings were a large orange triangle with a thin black border (the Dorito). Undersides were either NMF or painted Aluminium.

Ian you didn't come off as a smart @$$ I am just relatively un educated on euro camo schemes and planes, most of my reference is just standard US with a few general books on Axis stuff.

[Brian da Basher]

You totally threw me with that one, Ian! I've always thought of it a N.E.I. for Netherlands East Indies. I was trying to figure out what you meant by D.E.I. (Defense __something__ Israel???).

Toolslinger, here's XP-36C thread. The base kit for this was the wonderful $5 Academy "Flying Tigers" P-40 in 1/72 scale.

Here's another P-40 I mangled, but it does give you an idea of the Dutch scheme:

BdaB and I the HunterG mmm P-36- mmm Doritos

[sotoolslinger]

Even more guns

I didn't know there would be this much PSR

[John Howling Mouse]

I didn't know there would be this much PSR

Ain't that the truth!  I know how you feel.

[sotoolslinger]

Sorry I forgot to hit Macro on the camera  
This will be a weapons test bed aircraft.
Early  in 1937 this plane was equipped with experimental weapons
The largest guns are 1 inch/25mm cannon, the next down are .75cal machine guns/15mm cannon, the small guns are .416 Rigby cal. Browning machine guns

Stole Mr. Hunter Gatherers cool masking technique

Well crap, that is backwards. The cloudy bits should have been the lighter color Dang British sky type is just duck egg blue ,which is entirely too green. I think I'll overspray it with something much more Bluey

[Brian da Basher]

I dunno Toolslinger. I like the undersides the way they are. It's a very subtle yet vibrant pattern. As underside camo patterns are rare, espeically for the era the Bushmaster seems to come from, pretty much anything goes!

That sort of move, my friend, is known as "Pulling a JHM"

Welcome to my world, pal.
