Thank you very much. The T2V-1 is by Sword Models in 1/72. I used the kit decals which worked well except for the national insignia where I felt the blue was too dark. Almost black. I used a 115 year old Superscale sheet for the national insignia. 😀 You can find more photos of the T2V-1 in the gallery section here on ARC.

With the announcement of the new tool 1/72 Airfix Canberra B.2, we need a sheet for bubble canopy birds, like the RB-57A.

Finally got an IKEA cabinet for some of my acceptable efforts. The eagle eyed among you will spot six models adorned with our favorite decals. The P2V is number seven, but too big for the case.

I’d love some two seat Scooter action in 1/72.

Thanks. I literally couldn’t have finished it without you.

Gorgeous work. You can’t beat the Monogram F-105D. -
Caracal Decals Eduard photo etched flight deck (nearly invisible in the completed model). Brake lines from .3mm wire. Brass tubes for jet engine and radial engine exhausts. Aluminum foil used for flight deck sunshades. Lengthened nose gear. Scratched built open doors on one J34 auxiliary jet. Generic hangar-ish backdrop. Scratched built landing gear bays.

The venerable Hasegawa SP-2H with our favorite decals.

I vote for 3D resin SB-17 Dumbo and SB-29 Super Dumbo rescue 3D conversions in 1/72. The Paragon SB-29 resin conversions are 25+ years old and nearly unobtainium. Likewise you can never find the Expert Choice decals for the Super Dumbo. The Academy SB-17 doesn't show up often, but could use the Caracal love since Academy decals are not always the best.

That makes a Mach 2 model look like a Tamiya wonder kit. Good luck.

Thanks so much. I never built my Airfix 727-200, but I built the Minicraft kit back in the day. I was satisfied with it warts and all (wings so thick you could land an A-4E on them and oversized engines). But now that the CRM kit is here, well, there is no looking back. I have two more to build with 26Decals in Braniff livery: one in the Alexander Girard scheme, the other in the Flying Colors markings.

CRM kit, 26 Decals, Revell 350 Lufthansa Blue, Tamiya Liquid Surfacer White, Tamiya LP Gloss Aluminum and Light Gunmetal (coroguard), Xtracolor Voodoo gray. Kit comes with clear plastic for flight deck and cabin windows. Used white decals for window shades. Generic hangar backdrop.

Thanks everyone. Just a few more details to go.

Two superb prototypes I want to build for my collection someday. I plan a backdating my Hasegawa A-10 to YA-10 configuration. My Tomcat will be based on the Tamiya 1/48 F-14A. His Tomcat prototype uses the BAM models conversion, which means it’s a 1/48 kit. But I too would love to know what kit he used. Superior craftsmanship from two talented artists using our favorite decals.

Finally got the Wright 3350 turning over. The J34 turbo jett are next. 😀
