Interior of Japanese aircraft

They also used a mettalic green color.I just mix some silver and green until I come up with it.Sometimes the interior color is almost silver but I think that was from wear and age.

The B-17G looks great and makes one encouraged to see what a brush can do.

Those German tanks look really detailed and cool.

Hi everyone, this my last one (finished today !), MPM 1/48 Fw190-S8
As a reborn modeler for two years now, this is my first luftwaffe model since the early 80's and first short run model !
Far to be perfect (believe me ), I'll try to do better next time...
Cheers,

Olivier

Wow, that's good. Is it a 2-seater trainer?

I think you don't have to be ashamed of this model.You did it with some weathering on it and it looks really nice.Besides a two-seater of Fw 190 is a quite rare theme and as I remember not always seen at model expos.I like it. well done Saburo.Keep it on.

I just started a 25" wingspan, rubber powered, balsa and paper Aeronca "K"
floatplane. I got one side of the fuselage done tonight. As it takes shape
I will post pictures.

Really unique. Was it a boxed model or did you modify it to be a 2 seater? Whichever....it looks terrific.

Thank you very much guys !
yes it was a boxed kit, MPM kit N°48028 (I will try some conversions later...)
I'm posting the instructions for those who could be interrested by this kit.
The two main problem encounter were the wings/fuselage joining and the undercarriage but I'm sure with some experiences and patience it could be even better.
Thanks Again,

Olivier

Nice model you have there! I haven't posted in a while, so here's a quicky from me; a Revell 1:72 Swordfish. This is actually the old Matchbox kit, shown by the way the spruce says 'Made in' and then 'England' crudely covered over, but goes together with no major issues bar the undercarriage. Anyways, seeing as the FAA colour scheme is the most boring thing in the entire world I just decided to make something completely different with no basis in fact whatsoever. So I present my USN Swordfish!



Decals are off a Hellcat, painted Revell Night Blue, a strange colour that is very hard to get even and changes a lot in the light. An interesting 'what if?', but I don't think I'd like to fly the stringbag against defending Zeros! I think the dark colour kind of suits it; almost looks sinister...........



This is my first attempt at both a biplane and rigging (well, second, the first ended up in the spares box), so as you can see, the results aren't great.I used fishing wire and superglue, but unfortunately quite a lot of the latter was required to keep the wire in place




Also, I know it's the wrong forum but I hope you'll forgive my indulgence with my 1:24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV

Got the other side of the floatplane done tonight, and most of the formers
for the fuselage cut out. Tomorrow I should get most of the fuselage
together. If I do we'll take pictures.
