Dave Burgess Yeah, I really like air demonstration schemes (check out the Mirage jets I did). I really should redo the pics for this one tho. The lighting was very bad. I've since re-done my hobby room and there's a light more light now. Also, just finished a 1:48 Panavia Tonado in the Italian AF 55 Gruppa 60th anniversary colours (light blue/dk blue/ PINK). I'll be posting pics shortly
Dave Burgess Actually built this in 1990 when the Italeri kit first came out. For some reason, I never got a photo set taken. I think the problem was, my camera couldn't detect it! Anyway - her it is now.
Dale Beautiful job! I love your attention to detail. Lighting is top notch! Congrat's on the award; well deserved!

Dave Burgess Thx Dale! I'd had this in my inventory for several years. It was nice to finally get it built. You can find video of the lighting in the Facebook Plastic Model Builders group

Dave, I bought the Tamiya handy drill and found it wouldn't hold the micro drill bits. Bought a Trumpeter? one and that holds everything! You seem to be a prolific builder, are you showing us stuff you have already built or retired with a passion?

Dave Burgess With the Tamiya, I used my Dremel chucks, and that seems to work OK.
I've been retired since 2009; The builds in my build list include all of the models I've built since retirement, plus models I built as long ago as the late '70s (most of which I still have). I'm not building at the moment, because we're renovating our hobby room (still waiting for the new floor to be installed). Not being able to build is frustrating, but it's given me time to update my build history on this website.
Dave Burgess The first one I built was Minicraft's 1:32 F-16 in the rollout scheme. What a kit! Up to that point (late 70's), that was the NICEST kit I'd ever seen!
Robert Podkoński It is great to see that this kit can be turned into a perfectly decent model - especially if you have it in your stash 😉 - Fantastic work, Dave!

Dave Burgess Yeah, no doubt this one was a challenge p PARTICULARLY the very poorly formed L.G struts. I had to look carefully at reference photos to get them aligned properly; the kit instructions were laughable.

Robert Podkoński I know the Mach 2 instructions' sheets very well, Dave... They are just amazing - especially with regard to painting "advices" 😄
