NAVY & MILITARY Planes in 1/200

[missileer]

I'm having trouble building a 1:100 automobile and you are assembling detailed, perfectly scaled aircraft that are smaller than the auto! I am in total awe! Absolutely astounding work!

Thanks, missileer. It is actually possible to do small scale modelling. The thing is that you
start something normal or big and gradually reduce it when you become more experienced
and with the proper tools I think most of us can do it. Just patience and perseverance will
do the job. Proper tools I mean magnifying glass and sharp blades, and of course steady
hands and practice taking short breaks of breath when cutting very tiny parts.

A bit late seeing this post but that's the P-40 I recolored in AVG markings.
Strange that even all the way on the other side of the world the printout
of the green camouflage still has that weird light green. I used photo-shop
and it looks to be the correct tan and olive drab in that program.
The attachment shows the British and U.S. Markings I also used.

No.114 continues in this series. It's Bruno's Hawker Siddeley AV-8 Metador, Royal Thai Navy,
originally 1/100 paid model, now reduced to fit in this series of 1/200 navy planes. Some minor
parts that look like antennae are not installed as I have no idea, at the moment, where they
should go. So just left them behind until the next Harrier. Now enjoy the pics.

You do some absolutely amazing work, and in such a small scale. I'm having problems with 1/33 these days. Keep up the great work, and please keep posting more photos of your models.

Thanks, Rich. Will do.

No.115 is the North American A-5 Vigilante NASA version. It's also one of Murph's requests
for a picture for his webstore. In return I shall get one free model of my choice, ha ha.
This model is scaled at 1/67, same scale as his A-5 Navy version in his previous OBP collections.
In full scale as is, the model should measure about 14 inches in length.
There's a bit of uncertainty about the colour tones of the engine nacelle parts on sheets
2 and 3, extracted as per final pic. I'm not sure if it's by design or at fault. Bet Aaron will look
into this.

Hmm. Maybe one side spent more time in direct sunlight than the other did. I'll have the restoration crew touch it up.
