I really, really like the extra "Scale" details you have incorporated into this one!

Where did you get a stencil to do the rivets?

BEAUTIFUL WORK

Sparky. That is a really nice job, and it's one of my favorite planes. George

I received my Tanks Hangar stencils today. I just had to try them. They are so cool! I would recomend them to anyone doing scale detail.

If Rembrandt would have built model airplanes I bet it would have looked just like that. You are not seriously considering flying that are you.

Keith Spriggs · « **Reply #162 on:** November 17, 2006, 10:54:32 PM »

Bob, That pilot looks a little apprehensive. Has he flown one of your planes before? Maybe you need to give him a little drink before the test flight to calm him down.

Oh yes -----fantastic details. Hope I get the opportunity to take some pictures of it next summer.

Being a good mechanic is not remembering the specs on every thing you work on but know how to use the resources available to you.

Great advice, Bob. That applies to not only model airplane or mechanic work but to every endeavor in life. Anybody that ever excels at anything has to use that method.

Bill Gruby · « **Reply #167 on:** November 18, 2006, 03:41:09 PM »

Robert;

I for one, will never get tired of seeing the pictures.

It's been said before but that is one "OUTSTANDING PIECE OF WORK". Watching that airplane progress has been a real incentive.

Monty Summach · « **Reply #168 on:** November 18, 2006, 06:10:42 PM »

I'm not tired of it either. Watching ths model come alive as the details go on is really cool. Beautiful workmanship.

Looking right Robert! Where are you at on the weight at this point?

About the same as the others.

Thanks Robert!!!

Now that does sound nicer than jealous. Thanks for inspiring all of us, Robert, but I am still -----------no forget that.

rob biddle · « **Reply #175 on:** November 19, 2006, 04:28:07 AM »

Hi Robert,

Have you used a reference of some sort as to the location of your panel lines etc or are you just making it up as you are going along?

Either way it certainly looks outstanding! Wish it were mine!

;

Cheers, Rob.

RC Storick · « **Reply #176 on:** November 19, 2006, 08:28:50 AM »

I am using a plastic scale model and printed material to reference the panel lines and nomenclature, but because its not quite to scale some of the lines have to be moved. But it is a close to scale as I can make it.

frank carlisle · « **Reply #177 on:** November 19, 2006, 09:28:12 AM »

I think I'm going to throw in the towel and give up modeling. It used to be I thought I had a chance of matching and even surpassing what the other fellows could do. Now looking at Sparky's plane I feel that I've been livimg in a fantasy world. I'm just not good enough. I think I'll try my hand at fingerpainting. GOODBYE ALL............................................

RC Storick · « **Reply #178 on:** November 19, 2006, 09:51:05 AM »

Back in the late 60tys and early 70tys everything was a secrete. How to prep wood,how to cover ,paint etc.. I do not post theses picture to discourage anyone! I post them to inspire people. The drive and motivation that I have has been installed by people Like Billy Werwage, Al Rabe, Tom Warden ,Bob Hunt and a host of other modelers.

I watch every tape and read ever how to article I can get my hands on. Some are good some are bad. I just have learned how to sift out the ones that will work for me. While a keen eye and steady hands helps in building models it is not necessary to get the joy and pride out of constructing a working model. Giving birth to a creation that is an expression of your true self. Never settle for second best. If you strive for perfection (while unachievable) will yield a outstanding model.

I just try to copy what others have done and follow their guide lines. This has been easer than trying to re-invent the wheel. All the math and calculations in the world will not help you if you don't have and inner drive for success.

RC Storick · « **Reply #179 on:** November 19, 2006, 01:37:04 PM »

I had to take it out side to see what the colors were going to look like. I think I will be more than pleased when the clear is applied. Here is 3 shots.

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #180 on:** November 19, 2006, 02:16:04 PM »

Robert.

Are you going to have detailed gear struts also?

RC Storick · « **Reply #181 on:** November 19, 2006, 02:34:21 PM »

Yes and No. I have re-made my gear doors to look more scale but I am not going to do anything with the wire. Got to draw the line somewhere

Windwalker · « **Reply #182 on:** November 19, 2006, 09:35:04 PM »

Beautiful indeed.. My other hobby is Amateur Radio. The man who introduced me to that was Glenn Haines. He passed away a few years ago and I still miss him. He flew a P-47C "Razorback" over the skies of Europe during WWII.. He knew Robert Johnson, also a P-47C pilot. Robert was the leading American ace of WWII (28 confirmed kills) when he returned from the European Theater in 1944.

Some WWII Flyboys will argue that the P-47 was the best fighter plane built for the war effort. It's detractors considered it too overweight. It was heavily armed with four .50 cal machine guns that could launch 13 lbs. of lead every second at it's target. Using it's 2000 plus hp Pratt & Whitney Radial engine, it could lug 2000 lbs. of bombs into the air. It's extremely high kill ratio was impressive. You picked a good one, Robert...

If you'd like to hear some interesting stories about the Razorback, contact me. I spent hours with Glenn listening to his "warstories"..

Nick aka
Windwalker

[EDIT] I left out 3 inportant words in this post. I should have said "It was heavily armed with four .50 cal machine guns IN EACH WING"

My personal motto is "PERFECT IS BARELY GOOD ENOUGH"

Have I ever done anything perfect? NO
Will I ever do anything perfect? NO
Will I ever quit trying? NO

not so expensive at all.

I remember not to long ago if I had to spend 90 bucks on a whole model let alone stencils I'd freak! But seeing the results I must say Sparky that's money well spent! Looks awesome!

Great shots...Bob, you really nailed the looks on this model

Attached is a photo of Ted Delo who taught me so much about professional model making.
Funny thing is...I thought I knew so much about building models...until after the first day of working with Ted at the Boeing Wind tunnel model shop.
Ted was the first model maker that I was assigned to work with on our my first flutter model.
He was a celebrated WW2 ACE and shared so many great stories with all of us wind-tunnel rats.
Gads----he would have loved your beautiful JUG!

Hi Clancy,

Also, tell him I have started on that certain "Bernie Ash" model I spoke to him about!

Thats incredible. You made the flap invisable. And made the inside of the wheelwell look fantastic to boot.
but if you make the rest of the stealty like the flap judges will hae a hard time seeing your square corners.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Sparky, it looks great. Maybe I will bring my P-39 down and let you build/finish it. Just kidding, remembered the BOM thing. Later, DOC Holliday
