James, isn't it always the way. ! I am sure that like you, I have spent more on my display cases than I have on models. ! But that is about to change.
Helicopters with removable blades. !! 🙂 👍

Fortunately the majority of my kits have been given to me by family members for assorted birthday and Xmas gifts over the years, but yeah the cases are not cheap either!

While the display cases do a good job of keeping the dust at bay, my one issue with them is that I regret purchasing cases with hinged doors.
If I were to give one piece of advice for anyone considering getting display cases, it would be to get some with sliding glass doors so as to minimize the gaps through which the dust can enter! 😉

Depends on the kit and how much free time I have. For tanks I generally complete assembly inside of 3 days, but filling, painting, decals and weathering will take several weeks or more doing a little at a time. So, approx. a month for a tank build, but probably twice as long for modern aircraft due to the extra time required for filling the joins and clean-up etc.
17 August, 17:54
CaptGPF
Interesting, I would have thought it would be the other way around - with armor taking more time than aircraft due to the weathering effects! Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing more of these beauties in the future. 😀

Thanks guys 🙂

Not been around much of late due to having recently moved house. Other than the Canberra which is a bit of a right-off with a total nose gear collapse, everything survived the move intact with only a couple of very minor breakages. Have not setup a new modelling area yet, but hopefully wont be too far away and will be back in business. 🙂

So good, wow! I hear you about "restoring modeling mojo" > Fully agree. I had this experience recently building Tamiya's Panzerkampfwagen 38(t) and it inspired me; just gluing it all together. So fun to build, fit is excellent and leaves room to really get after good weathering/time on realistic modelling.

That's some lovely work James. I'm captivated by the camouflage.
14 May, 19:34
James C
Thanks guys 🙂

I hadn't realized until after I took the pics and uploaded them that I had snapped the rail somehow in pic 23.
I have since repaired this, and should probably re-do the finished pics as well as the current pics are not the best.

@ Nathan - I cheated on the camo scheme a little as the instructions indicated to apply a thin black demarcation line between the brown, green and sky colours on the turret. But with my hand/eye coordination being what it is I decided not to tempt fate in trying to apply it.

Hi Marek, I built this kit out of the box and found the plastic landing gear to be good enough to handle the weight. After several years now it's still sitting ok with no sign of warpage etc. You may want to consider replacing the cockpit interior and pay close attention to the electronics bay doors as I couldn't get the ES-3A Shadow parts to fit correctly and used the S-3 Viking covers instead. If building the S-3 Viking you shouldn't have any issues, but the ES-3A Shadow parts are all just plain bad and poorly molded (Electronics bay doors, and module on the upper fuselage spine etc)
