Modelers Corner

I bought a couple shadow boxes to display my 1/72 aircraft. At a certain point it becomes difficult to display all of my models. I ended up with this for the time being; eventually I want to find some maps of WWII Europe and the Pacific as backdrops inside the shadow boxes.

Here's the latest. P-47 bubble top. Getting a handle on the Alclad II paint. This kit went to together beautifully actually the nicest fitting kit I've ever done. I used Vallejo water based clear which worked perfect on the Alclad lacquer.

Beautiful.

On a trip to the Museum of the Air Force in Ohio I was surprised to see just how big some of those WW2 aircraft are up close in person. Thunderbolts, Corsairs etc.

Been there a couple of times and may go back this year. P47 was the largest WWII fighter and probably the toughest. In the documentary A Fighter Pilots Story there was a part where a P47 pilot said "If you want to impress your girl send her a picture of yourself standing in front of a P51. If you want to get back home to her fly a P47".

It's an incredible museum that should be high on the bucket list for just about everyone.
