This Weekend in The Hangar: A look back at another video compilation. Today featuring some of the Korean War Era (USAF, USN & USMC) #ModelAircraft in my collection. (Possibly a good way to assemble your past years builds as well.) Check out the YouTube short to see: www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-X_...

This Weekend in The Hangar: The crew hadn't seen a new arrival in a while but this week it happened. A sleek dual-seat CF-104 Starfighter pulls in to add to the #ModelAircraft collection. Check it out in more detail at: www.flypastrush.com/post/tf-to-c...

Sometimes you head to the paint shop questioning whether you are ready just yet (but really you just need to move forward ) I figured the P-47 was good to go, the Mitchell… hopefully. It was more #ModelAircraft hope than a careful review… Not surprised… some seams still need attention

True enough 23147 is a Mk.5 (my bad) I didn’t proofread that before I hit send - Here is my Mk.6 - Slats down 🤘🏻

While the topcoat dries on the others, I turned my attention to the next production line. A couple of more Canadian crewed examples in this B-25D and P-47D #ModelAircraft coming along

Got the trio of 🇨🇦 #ModelAircraft to the Paint Shop to spray the final sealer coat on. Now some drying time before the next stage.

Last week’s work was sludging down the the 🇨🇦 trio of #ModelAircraft to get them prepared for the final sealer coat. Missed pre-coat on a couple of areas which resulted in some minor paint damage so that will have ti be fixed. Then bbsat the granddaughter on the weekend so this week I have a cold🤧

Rachel, the 1/48th Revell kit is a big (26" or 66 cm wingspan) impressive build (with a few shape issues, depending on your tolerances). There are actually 2 kit versions, a Canso and a Catalina. One is a true flying boat the other has retractable gear. It's a pretty decent build for its age.

The third in the #ModelAircraft trio now gets some attention with a bit of dual-language decaling (and challenging print-on-demand decals at that - Although I am thankful for the supply of the interesting subject matter.) 🙂

Agreed, probably the prettiest scheme for the 2-seater. Managed to pick up another Starfighter today as it was on SALE (Best of Breed so, how could I pass it up?) …May convert this over to a CF-104 and build another D in the two-tone low-vis scheme 🤘🏻

…and minutes after I took that photo… 🤔 Wait a sec, those wing markings look too small… which ones off the sheet did i use… 😬 …..Oh crap crap crap! 🫣 A lapse of brain function after all the careful planning (seems to go hand in hand with model construction projects) 🚧 Get me a scraper…
