Decals on a 1/48th P-47N....but where did I put that prop? Obviously very safely away!! 

Also, Decals on a post-apocalypse 1/72nd Phantom.....

[Captain Canada]

Both sound tantalizing.....can't wait !

PS-Good luck finding the prop ! Or : "chop chop, find the prop" 

[Radish]

Lateral thinking....found the prop!!! 

Next up will the completion of 2 x 1/48th Hurricane Is in nationalist Chinese colours. One probably AVG markings.

[Radish]

Gods...2 models COMPLETELY finished....should finish another tomorrow, too...

Decals on the Rotennatter, and detail painting after a mid-afternoon cake and coffee.

Astounded Stafford club last night.....took SIX models for display!!

1/48th USAAF P-47D Razorback (REAL)
1/48th RAF(SEAC) P-47N Thunderbolt III....obviously NOT real, for Biggles
1/72nd Finish Post-Apocalypse F-4 Phantom
2 x 1/72nd A-10s with Snake Heads
1/72nd Star Wars Starfighter in German Desert camouflage, on a dioama.

Not all new, but deserved a showing.

Onwards with Hurricanes now and finishing other "stuff"....

[Captain Canada]

An AVG Hurricane would be nice to see !

[Radish]

Painting the AVG Hurricane, and I think...."bought a 1/72nd Tornado F3.....what can I do with it?"...

a tuxedo,  with a spinny bow tie as a long range search radar.

and  no I dint know where that came from, it just seemed to fit 

[Radish]

Sensible suggestions!!

[Steel Penguin]

RAF post Volgan invasion, operating from a emergency field some where in the wilds,   heavily worn, post battle emergency repairs, and a mix of eastern ,and western weapons that theve been able to capture and smuggle in.

a "tiger meet" scheme, but a clouded leopard pattern, or  bagpuss stripes,  or tiger shark markings.

anti flash white and the pale markings,  or anti flash white and more modern markings in a low contrast cream or pale grey.

get another set of wings and do a biplane, but keep them ( independently  ) sweep able

rescale as a star ship and use the intakes as launch bays ( slightly less sensible I know but...)

GREAT IDEAS!!!!

One thought was Czech, with a multi-colour scheme like PantherG uses.
Another was Ukraine with a multi-grey, blue scheme.

Recently I've thought of a WW2 bomber command idea with ground attack missiles.

[Captain Canada]

I'd be more straight and narrow, and do it in 80 EDSG/green camo with modern missiles as well as some LGBs. Or in her own scheme with same load. I love the F.3 !

[Radish]

Think it looks much better with the longer fuselage.
I'll do another with an extended nose too.

[Captain Canada]

I like both ideas, or combined. Would make sense. A long, long range interceptor !
