Starting laying out my next build.
Academy 1:72 PBY-5A Black Cat. Looks like a fairly straightforward build. More updates to come.

Nice set up but can you put the paint pot 3 rows down and 5 in upright, it's driving me nuts looking at it. Sorry, my OCD just takes over some time's.
Looking forward to seeing your build. Pantherman

1/72 gives me the twitches.......

I'm finding I have a love/hate with 1/72. Small size is easier to find space for but geez some of those bits are so tiny. Anyways, looking forward to seeing this one come together.

1/72 gives me the twitches.......

This is the only 1/72 in my stash. The rest is 1/48. I have two pieces of armor at 1/35 and the USS Missouri at 1/350.
Oh and forgot the Moebius 1/25 Batmobile.

I had enough of 1/72 with the Memphis Belle.

My B-17 is 1/48. Haven’t gotten to that one yet.

1/48 is what I stick with, I only did the 1/72 because it was the only scale ground support vehicles were in.

Looking forward to seeing your build progress.

You have made a fellow modeler happy, I would have been ecstatic had you turned all the Testors labels horizontal !!!! But 10/10 for effort, thanks. I can sleep again. Pantherman

 

[TimM63]

Slowly coming together. Most of interior is done.

Hi & a great model to build. Built mine in my early 70s. Only just started model making then.

Not got around at that time to effects (weathering horrible expression).

Now have it strung up in the air as if flying. We used to get one in Jersey (Channel Isles) over
on our yearly Battle of Britain show. They are big. They gave flights around the Island .

Best of luck with yours. Hope you introduce effects on yours. Mine is a Revell by the way.

Fuselage is together. Working on wings.

 

[Down Time]

Yeah, I'll have to find one, do it up as one was in the original Midway movie, one of the "Strawberries".

I have a few seams to fill but it’s going together pretty well.
