I've just about finished my Vought Kingfisher scratchbuild for use with 28mm Pacific wargame. Here are a few pics showing the solid wood construction technique:

Nicely done! I expect it will be lots of fun to use in a game. Rob. |

Damn, that is REALLY nice work. How much would you charge for two A-26 Invaders in 1/100 scale? Just wonderin' aloud… |

Very nicely done! Did you use bass wood or balsa? |

Hi All, Thanks for the kind words. -Patrick – these models are super time consuming so I don't do commission work, though I strongly encourage you to try to make it yourself. The material is dirt cheap all you need are tools & a three view line drawing. PM if you want more tips. -Colonel Hairy Haggis- I use basswood and scraps of metal. A bandsaw is my favorite tool John |

These are EXCELLENT, John! You know, you may want to reconsider and, perhaps, make a go at producing your own line of aircraft in either 1/56 or 1/100 scale. Thank you for sharing your pics with up, johnnytodd!  |

Thanks Saginaw. I've done some master building for JTFM but the level of carved detail on my planes is just not enough to satisfy a discriminating eye. Here are a couple more pics of the finished model. The crewmen are conversions from Copplestone and CO.B<p>
