Javier Córdoba
joins us from Mexico on this special
Mexican holiday with his beautifully done
1/32 Hasegawa P-47M.
This P-47 is done using the new P-47 decal sheet from Zotz
Decals. I love the camo scheme and sexy noseart on this
one.
|
|
 |
Boris Bilyk
has been very busy adding detail all
over his 1/48 Hasegawa F-4E Phantom II.
Once Boris had finished adding all that details, he then turned top Twobobs
for the perfect decals to finish off his Phantom and display it on a
great looking display base.

Oishi has
done an outstanding job on his big 1/32
Tamiya Zero.
Oishi is a well known highly skilled modeller here on ARC and this
Zero is up to his usual high standards.

 |
Sam Ching
is here with his
Scratchbuilt 1/700 MiG19S.
This has got to be the smallest MiG-19 I've seen. It looks
like it would have been quite the fun little project to
create.

Rai
joins us from Singapore with something
completely different today. This is the
1/48 FineMolds Nakajima J9Y Kikka,
which is Japan's first jet fighter. I got quite a kick
out of seeing this rare prototype done up and Rai did it up very
well.

David Cespedes
is here with his
marvelous looking 1/48 Focke Wulf 190 A-3.
David did some extra detailing before he painted his 190 in winter
camo which is one of my favourite paint schemes and finished it all
off with realistic looking weathering to complete the package.
|
|
 |
Andrew Taylor
has done a
stellar job on his lo-vis 1/72 Revell F-14D.
Andrew added a resin cockpit and exhausts and finished it off
with weathering and markings for VF-2 Bounty Hunters to get a great
looking Tomcat for his display case.

This kit was a challenge but that didn't prevent it from be finished
in fine style. It's wearing the markings of the South
Vietnamese Air force.

has been
busy getting things correct on his big 1/32 Trumpeter F-105D.

"In my recent article, "Deutsches
Afrika Korps Uniforms" a typo crept in. It was important enough
for me to print this correction. The "Afrika Koprs" cuff title
was worn on the right sleeve, not the left. The decoration, "Afrika"
with palms, was indeed worn on the left. I sincerely apologize for any
misconceptions this error may have caused, and express my gratitude to
your editor for printing this errata notice." brgds
to all, Hal Marshman Sr
The article has been
edited as per Hal's instructions. Steve

Mark Patman
is here
with his second article on ARC. This is Mark's
1/48 Tamiya P-47 Razorback

efforts......I'm deeply impressed when I see how well his P-47
turned out.
