Very good! Nice attention to detail adding the mud splatters from the wheels to the lower wing

hi Scott, I am not sure why they closed shop, but the guy behind the kits I beleive was Ferris Brown, and the kit does have alot of potential, the fuselage has some decent detail molded into the cockpit area, the parts breakdown is pretty simple, though it looks like it will go together well with just a bit of tweaking, and the fret of photo-etch is a nice touch, especially the perferorated flaps, those these were done by Model Technologies and as such are steel and not brass. The down side is that is a bit harder material, but as they have no bends that is not a big deal, and the big plus is that they are good size pieces of etch, so should be less prone to to being tewaked out of shape being made of this material.

Very Nice!!!! Hard to beleive it is 1/144th scale! I really like the L-39, the first privately owned L-39 in the U.S. was kept at the local airport here. Dan McQue, who used to fly for Delta bought it and brought it to the U.S., I loved watching that fly, it was like it was on rails, solid, steady, prescise, just a nice flying airplane.

Yeah! Me too!! As I said, I am just colloecting references etc. to see if there is enough to consider several of these projects right now. Plus, I really like resin kits and like to savor them when I build them as because of what they normally cost I don't get alot of them.

Excellent! The finish, weathering, everything is superb! 
The chipping on the prop looks really great!

Hi No.1, I have the very old Classic Castings 1/48 scale kit. It is resin, but has the flaps in photo etch that were custom made by Model Technologies. It is a very nice kit, and I got it for an awesome price, $20.00 because it is missing the stick and machine gun! those will be easy enough to replace. Markings and such are not determined yet as I first wanted to see if I could get enough info to detail the cockpit and flaps (the kit does have a reasonably detailed cockpit) but as always, it could be spruced up some! Now, when I get a moment I will pratice riveting on resin and see how that goes

Aircraft Modeling / Northrup A-17 Nomad
« on: December 24, 2011, 05:09:14 AM »
Okay, here is another request, as I am thinking about different projects, the Northrup Nomad comes up. I was wondering if anyone had and info on the cockpit, general airframe details, and what type of structure (in any) was vivible behind the perferoated flaps. Any help would be greatly appericiated.

Aircraft Modeling / An-8 Camp cockpit
« on: December 24, 2011, 05:05:25 AM »
Does anyone possibily have any information on the cockpit layout of the An-8? I have a set of very nice exterior views, but nothing on the interior. The kit i would be working with also has no provision for any sort of interior either, so it will all neeed to be scratchbuild, which is fine, I would just like ot know what the layout was.
