Modelers Corner

I agree on the USAF museum.

I lived 5 blocks from the back side and friends and I walked there several times each summer.
3 mile slog through high grass, but it was worth it.
Could easily spend an entire day there, even after having been there dozens of times.
That was when they only had the one big building, and an annex another 1/2 mile walk away.
Back then "Bockscar" was a walk through fuselage exhibit.
My friends and I researched where "the button" was.
...and we all touched it.
It has since been returned to flight.

The yellow snack shop near the gate has the best fries ever.
 
The AH-64 is about half done and is coming along nicely. The Tamiya olive drab paint is exactly what I was looking for for this model.

Finishing the the A64 was the tipping point. Shelving was needed to display the models in one spot instead of all over the house. Now I can look over and see what I've built while working on another. Also picked up three 27 gallon totes at Lowes. I was surprised by how big a 27 gallon totes is. Nice sturdy totes and only 10 something apiece.
If you need some they are a good buy.

Here's what I'm building now. A Heinkel He162 Salamander. It's a Hasegawa kit and it's really well done. There's some really complicated curves where the engine mates to the fuselage that with lesser makers would be a problem with fitment. Fits like a glove. The plane in the war was a pretty big failure. The Germans just couldn't build with wood like the English. The Salamander tended to fall apart from glue failure. It did have an ejection seat. Next build is one I'm looking forward to a Tamiya F86 Saber which is one of my favorite planes.

Yes those storage totes are great. With the barrel turned about 20 degrees they can hold all but the biggest 1/16 rc tanks and radios for safe transporting to the field and so cheap.
