Experts Choicw decal F-4E 57th fig

The decals came in 1/72 and 1/48 scale.  Al Mason made some excellent decals.












1/48 A-20 gear placement correction.

Looks like there is a problem with the gear placement on old AMT A-20. Here is the fix if you are interested.

What I have in my files: 

"Those of you that wish to have your A-20G sitting on the ground may wish to correct its "sit" by drilling new main landing gear locator holes 1/4" (6.3mm) forward of the existing locator holes in the lower wings (24, 26).  If the main landing gear is installed "by the book," it will sit too far back.  Naturally, I caught this boo-boo after the fact, but that's what I'm here for - so you don't!  It is such an easy fix that you really should take a minute to drill the new holes." 
On pg 7 of the erection and maintenance manual:

it says the axle of the main wheel is 4' 6" aft of the leading edge.

B-47 bomber video

B-47 to me was a very sleek bomber.  Its service life was short.  The Bomber did what it was asked to do.  Wonder where I but that kit.

Aviation Usk 1/72 B-32 Dominator

The B32 was the answer to the B-29 is it failed to work.   It is an impressive boomer that did fly in combat.  Years ago a won one on ebay for a song.   It is on my to do list.   But on modelling madness Ryan Groweilier built the model.  His article on construction is the perfect guide.  The article can be found here B-32 build
