That looks great, Jeff - You could turn it into a generator by putting one or two small plastic rods between the pump coils, to act as switches. It probably needs cooling vents/a fan housing on top/exhaust pipe just to be slightly more realistic.
I think I have learned my lesson on this.  Definitely going to avoid trying to improve the toy-like features completely.  This was way more trouble than it was worth. 

I am looking forward to the new MiniArt generator model that should be out soon.

I see a "thumbs-up" & a dog looking up at its master on either side of the tail. ;D ;)


Yeah, the colour looks odd, almost dark chocolate brown. :-\

Looking for Kits, Parts, and Decals / LF Italeri 1/35 M1A1 decals
« Last post by Ramba on Today at 03:56:54 AM »
I am looking for the decals for option “A” from the Italeri 1/35 M1A1 kit #6596 if anyone hasn’t used them and is willing to part with them. I am located in the USA in PA, 18202.

This is the kit that has the decals I am looking for.


This is the decal sheet. I only need version “A”.


This is version “A”.


Thanks for any help you can provide.

New Model Kit News/Reviews / Re: ICM

You're right. The Hercules would be the most plausible ... and, technically, fits within raafif[/i]'s "1950s/60s/70s" query.

I based my Lincoln suggestion on the RCAF's pair of Lancaster 10DC launch aircraft. Which reminds me, should anyone want 'that other scale', Belcher Bits offers a 1/72 KDA-1 kit with Lanc pylons.

-- http://www.belcherbits.com/lines/172conv/bl6.htm
-- http://www.belcherbits.com/images/172conv/bl6inst.pdf

And that raises a question: Did RCAF Lancaster 10DCs ever carry twin Firebees? IIRC, all the photos I have seen of KB848 and KB851 as 'DCs, show them carrying a single KDA-1 (despite twin pylons being fitted),

BTW, on the attached images, note that the Firebee is wearing USAF markings.
