    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    I flew on Eastern Airlines from CT to FL, stop over at Miami then to Nassau Bahamas in 1983. Nice flight and HUGE interior, wide body. Here's a period picture of passenger loading in Nassau in the late 70s early 80s

    Lockheed L1011-1/200 Hasegawa

    I have this coming in soon. I tried one not long ago and failed at it. Have found my mistake and now will try it again. I have after market decals for it. Should be here Friday.

    B-52G-Griffiss AFB 1990s-1/200 DML

    If you build this remember to flip part D2 180 degrees. The piece with the front intake fans has the scoops on top of the engines instead of under them, you have to make a hole in the engine body larger to accept it right side up.

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    This is the Boeing 367-80, the one and only prototype for the 707. Only one was ever made and did a barrel roll in front of some potential buyers. This is one plane I'd love to see molded in 1/144 plastic.

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    The best 720 is Roden, X Scale has a new 707-124-Continental livery. I think at one time Minicraft did 12 versions of the 707 in Military and various civilian airliners. Atlantis reboxed the old Revell 1/139 707-120 in Boeings' demonstrator scheme. There are tons of 707s never...

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    The 3rd cockpit windscreen decal from the left says "Minicraft Kit". Hmmmmmmmm, other model kits of 707-321 make windscreens different from Minicraft?

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    It is and isn't. The monster is the 1/48 THUD. I stopped building 1/48 jets long ago, but still build 1/48 WWII single engine fighters.

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    Here is a picture of the kits parts, not overly complicated, just a typical 1/144 Minicraft airliner kit.

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    Here is my start, nose weight and fuselage halves glued up. Also an image from the internet of new Draw Decals for Air Force One in tail numbers 26000 and 27000. This set of decals is suppose to be delivered this Friday.

    Air Force One-VC-137C SAM 26000-1/144 Minicraft Freedom One donor kit

    I am starting this using the 1/144 Minicraft kit for Freedom One, same plastic as 1/144 Minicraft Air Force One VC-137C 26000 OOP kit using new Draw Decals for 26000 or 27000. Here is the boxing I am using and the boxing with the same sprues of Air Force One by Minicraft no longer available.

    F-105D Thunderstick II-1/48 Revell kit

    Thanks, they definitely are a "work of art". I cut my teeth on Revell-Monogram from '63-'64. I still think their Thud is one of the best anywhere. Fuselage all glued up, only a teeny tiny hairline gap in a seam you'll never see.

    F-105D Thunderstick II-1/48 Revell kit

    I took the tape off and Googled the amount of weight, a couple sites said 4 or 5 US pennies, about 10 to 15 grams. I used 21 grams of lead fishing weight.

    F-105D Thunderstick II-1/48 Revell kit

    I put the cockpit, nose wheel well and wing spar in and taped the 2 fuselage halves together to see how the fit was, now to take the tape off and add nose weight then cement fuselage halves up permanently.
