Another bunch of amazing models! Thanks for the submission! And great job, Hot Girl!!
You saw The Hot Girl on the homepage. Now, let's take a closer look at her first model! Stan writes: The Hot Girl was going crazy with working from home, and decided to build an Airfix Hawker hurricane! She is very happy with it, and while I helped (Yeah, right...whatever you say, Stan!!) when she asked, she did all the work on it.
(I love the nose on this thing!)
Let’s jump right in with Tom Miller’s 1/35 Hummer mini pumper fire truck:
The Hummer is from the parts box. The mini pumper is from Black Dog. I added some small items and equipment.
(Man, that is really cool Tom! Appears you might know something about firefighting equipment...and modeling!! ;-))
Stan says he has one: Turns out I wasn't done! Here's my airfix Spitfire, the glue isn't even dry yet. In one of the photos, you can see the instrument panel in this kit. It was extremely detailed new tooling.
Doug writes: This photograph is from the January 2018 s&t. This is the 1/48 koster vacuform I built back in August of 1992 for Dale. I built about 55 kits for him back then. At the end of 1992 he moved to Florida. In February of 1993 he wanted pictures of the kits I built for him so I took pictures and sent them to him. Sometime after his return he must have given some of the photos to you. So go figure. The reason I brought this up is because I had talked about the koster kit when I did the Do-217n-1 conversion.
Next is Doug's 1/48 monogram promodeler Do-217e-5 w/ koster aero enterprises Do-217n-1 vacuform conversion. Painted with model master enamel. Radar array from extra-tech. Decals from the koster conversion. 28 years ago I built the full vacuform of this for Dale. It had some moments to say the least, however the conversion was a lot easier to build. Had a lot of fun doing this one.
Doug Seekman reports in with three models: This one is the re-issued 1/48 revell Do-217e-4. Painted with model master enamel. Decals from the promodeler Do-217e-5 kit described earlier. Weathered w/ pastels. Seriously had a blast doing this one too.
