Hal
Marshman, Sr is here with something very rare. This is
Hal's 1/48 Fine MOLDS Mitsubishi KA-14 which is the prototype
for the A5M "Claude". Hal enjoyed building this kit
and he gives a wonderful breakdown of the full build process that
was involved to build such an excellent looking model. It's a
beautiful looking model Hal. |

Hui begins today's update with his 1/48 Hasegawa F-4F in German

The end result is very nice indeed. |

Gerd Wilcken
starts today with a very aggressive looking 1/48 HobbyBoss EMB-314 (A-29) Super Tucano.
Gerd chose a Colombian aircraft complete with a sharks mouth
complete with underwing stores. Excellent work Gerd.....it's
always a treat to see your latest model on the ARC homepage.

Karl
W Branson was very busy with his 1/48 Italeri Eurofighter
Typhoon. Karl scratch built a cockpit for his Typhoon that
included a new HUD and then chose a paint scheme for a Typhoon
serving with the RAF. Very nicely done indeed. |

David
Rapasi joins us with his beautifully done 1/48 Tamiya F4U1
Corsair. This is a USMC Corsair. The folded
wings and weathering make this plane look like it's resting between
missions. David is a master when it comes to painting and
weathering and you'll see that when you view his Corsair. |

Ed
Fuquay is building the 1/24 Trumpeter Supermarine Spitfire.
Today he presents Part 1.....when he gets more done he'll
present Part 2 and so on. Ed has detailed his engine with a
bit of artistic licence.....so everything might not be 100%
accurate....but it looks very good. I like your style Ed. |

quite fascinating. |

his 1/48 HobbyBoss Fw-190D-9. Hal has a great deal of

the plywood flaps on his latest Dora. |
