oldHooker Military Modeling Club?

Hello, Are Military subjects the mainstay of this organization? I understand completely if they are, being in the Ft. Bragg A/O; have attended a few shows at different locals and Military subjects seem to dominate in entries/award ribbons. Clubs also seem to gravitate toward military building activites, leaving those of us who do non-military aviation subjects without a lot to do as far as participating. The last club I belonged to tolerated my subject matter until it came time for a group bui… Continue

Don Shaw USF/USS Constellation

Approximately eighteen years ago I took my family on a trip to Washington, DC, Pennsylvania and the Inner Harbor at Baltimore. I must admit, the side trip to the Inner Harbor had a selfish motive but fortunately there was plenty there to make it an enjoyable trip for the whole family. My personal motive, though, was that I had heard that the USF Constellation had been restored and was on display at the Inner Harbor. This turned out to be not entirely true. The hull was there but the restoration… Continue

Mike WIP F-18F Problem and solution

I have come across a wonderful solution for painting the intakes of jet aircraft. Someone out there may know this one but it took me all of about two weeks of making and stuffing cut objects in to the intakes. As I tried to mask the sharp white demarcation with Tamiya tape it would stick where I did not want it to and could not get it right. Then I stuffed precut soft foam in the intakes this worked OK, but still was not what I was hoping for. Then I came to me use white decal paper. I had some… Continue

Jon Bius Working on Pegasus Hobbies P-51B

Larry Thompson over at Pegasus Hobbies was kind enough to send me their newly released P-51B. If you've built a Pegasus kit, you'll know what an exceptional value they are, and wonderfully engineered for a snap-tight kit. Here are a few progress shots of the cockpit before I closed up the fuselage. As with most Pegasus kits, the cockpit is simplified, but reasonably detailed, especially with a closed canopy. Wouldn't take much scratch building to really make it shine, though.… Continue
