1/300 in the air boys and girls

here are some of my many aircraft I use to own.


Sovit World War two Airforce completed These are still in my possession.
Different view of same aircraft.


U.S.A.A.F (updated shot)




My BITS & BOBS U.S.A.A.F in Progress (B-17, B-25, B-26, P-80, P-38)


More shots of my Soviet WW2 work:

Bombers


fighters



Pe 2

Pe 2 and Sturmovich


two Strurmovichs

underside of A B-17

A B-29 i think was from Scotia But could only do a silver scheme and never sure on which Squadron/Group
A Black widow which looks like a Navwar, but could be wrong
And a Henscel 219 Nightfighter, Have a under shot which will be in the final Edit or in another blog, i'm not sure again as to Scotia and Navwar origin, and will tell you now both are excellent so
would buy one of each anyhow. As liken to buying 5 to 20 Me Bf 109 etc (all variants)
If they work together good otherwise no go.
Found it the underside of the He 219
Navwar Short Sunderland (or is it Scotia)


And a H&R Stuka tankbuster probably flown by a 1/300 scale "Rudel" from 25 years ago

1/300 LST the plans and template

PLANS FOR THE SECOND ATTEMPT AT A L.S.T in 1/300



the next template about 55mm in width 362mm long
so two of these and about 40mm in average deck height.
work on the bow to be figured out

thanks to Weet-Bix for the cereal box



And the old plans which were drawn out from the centrespread of War Machine
the one about landing craft, Which i need to find! Or as usual replace.

But just the stern and bow are needed as the centre is a straight box and A4 just a little to small


More as i build this up.

But need to work out paper construction so it doesn't bow (the bendy bow)
and to do in plasticard etc, and or to make up a resin mould if this works Out

i will also dig out my mini LCT plans But Scotia do a nice resin one and there is another full on metal one i used to have but the company eludes me.

see you in the next installment.
