D'Anjou+Mustang.jpg (63523 bytes) Tony D’Anjou’s 1/48 scale Mustang Mk. Ia, built OOB and painted with Model Master enamels.

Decals are from the kit. Weathering includes exhaust and gun smoke stains. The Malcolm hood required the addition of a whip antenna made from a cat hair.

 

 

Qualey+Wildcat.jpg (50819 bytes)  Jim Qualey’s 1/48 scale F4F Wildcat, considerably modified from the Monogram kit. Jim scratchbuilt the cockpit and added gun barrels, pitot tube and exhausts. He also filled in the wing fold so the model would more closely resemble an F4F-3. Paint is Polly Scale colors mixed to match color chips. Decals are Superscale for insignia and Aeromaster for numbers and letters. The markings are for VF-6, USS Enterprise, February 1, 1942.

Rycroft+Panzer.jpg (81440 bytes) Rich Rycroft’s 1/35 scale PzKpfw IV Ausf. D, built OOB and brush-painted with Polly-S. The kit decals depict a vehicle from the DAK’s 35 Panzer Division HQ. The model represents Richard’s first attempt at weathering, for which he used a brush only.

Rycroft+Marder.jpg (70127 bytes)  Rich Rycroft’s 1/35 scale SdKfz 161 Marder II, built OOB and brush-painted with Polly-S. The kit decals are for an unknown DAK unit, probably HQ of 21st Panzer Division, North Africa 1942.
