Steve Kumamoto
Sopwith Dolphin, 1/72 Czech Masters OOB, All resin, needs to be weathered and rigged. Fairey Barracuda, 1/72, Novo
IN progress, kit was in RED plastic. Steve needs ideas on how to keep the red from bleeding through. Several ideas were tossed out as a resolution. Start with dark grey or black to stop the bleeding

Paul Gasiorowski
KC-135E, 1/144, Minicraft OOB, No big issues except for the thick sprue attachments to the engine nacelles, wings, and fuselage. Used Model Master Acrylics to finish the model. F-22 Raptor, 1/72, Revell, Snap-Tite Kit Wanted to try something quick. Plane mounted on a pylon. Hardly any gaps on the snap tite parts. Used Model Master Acrylics, used peel off decals supplied with the kit. Kind of glossy decals but works for a quick build. Two nights to build. Russian Oscar Class, 1/700, Hobby BossAnother quick build kit, a couple of nights to finish. Used Model master Acrylics, Hull Red and Flat black. Now he needs to learn how to make water, to put the sub in.

Dan Paulien
EXOCET missile, 1/72. Exocet in French means Flying Fish. Exocet made news in the Falklands war by sinking the British ship HMS Sheffield.

Mike Hanlon
Now in the trash Hasegawa Raiden now in the trash. Mike wasn’t happy about the Hinomaru for either side of the fuselage. The rounded area makes a good fit insignia almost impossible. So Mike caved. Gave in.. Gave up. Quit & went home. Loser

Glen Estry
AH-1F Cobra, 1/48, Revell OOB, Built to represent a picture of the real thing, used appropriate decals and markings, weathered the model to try and match the picture.
