Hello all. Last week or so I posed a pic of a kit I am working on for the "Twin Spinner" Campaign. I had a heck of a time getting the pics to post. It reminded me that I hadn't posted pics in ages. I am a middling modeler, but hey, who doesn't like to have people look at their stuff? So, here are some shots of my recently completed, 1/72 scale Fine Molds kit of a Japanese Claude. Appologies for the pics. I have a very nice digital camera...it's the operator that's a complete waste.
It was a fun little kit, and as always, I learned a lot while working on it (mainly, that my masking skills need more polish.) I used Model Master Non-Buffing Aluminum, and Model Master enamels on it. The fit of the kit was great...all mistakes seen are those of the builder. It was the first Fine Molds kit I have worked on, but I don't think it will be the last.
Cheers,
Mike

Mike:
Nice Claude. The engine in the pictures looks great. As far as the picture quality, better than my dim lighted cave drawings
